NRO's The Corner: Rolling Bile, Spit, and Gnash Thread

well that's the thing with any ideological cultural crit---all the failings of the world (as you see them) are secondary to the collective's failure to understand whatever it is you have ~grasped.~

how is Evo Morales not indigenous? also, the critique (such as it is) could be said about the "elite" in any country (I think).

lol

found this clicking around from that link:
John J. Miller on Iron Maiden on National Review Online

hahaha.

The second song is one of Iron Maiden's most familiar: "Two Minutes to Midnight." It's an anti-nuke tune whose politics aren't exactly to my liking.

lol pathetic

Judge Not [Jonah Goldberg]

Yes, I was a judge of the Hottest Conservative Women in New Media "contest." My shame spiral is bottomless.

figured that out years ago, J

btw, is there any way any of us could help start a nutjob argument about whether Malkin's shattering of the race barrier on that Hot Women list is a byproduct of affirmative action? I would like to see her thought process if someone could get that rolling.

ann coulter's inclusion was a nice gesture towards transgendered people as well.

classy

Marfan's took Lux Interior, yet Coulter still lives. UNFAIR.

Sir Jerk? [Jay Nordlinger]
So, Paul McCartney is in the East Room of the White House, with President and Mrs. Obama. He is being fêted because he has just won an award from the Library of Congress. He caps the evening with this remark – this is his farewell, his send-off: “After the last eight years, it’s good to have a president that knows what a library is.”

Can anyone tell me why people are such schmucks? Why they are so graceless and clueless and nasty? I mean, Paul McCartney’s like the richest, most popular, most honored musician in the world. Does he not have it in him to behave like a gentleman — or at least a non-boor — while he’s being celebrated at the White House? Does he have to be the Wanda Sykes of popular music? Is it not possible to love Obama, as McCartney does, without hating Bush — or at least insulting him on a high, non-political occasion?

I don’t care that “Penny Lane” is a pretty tune, Paul McCartney is a horse’s butt. Let me amend that: He acted like one, on Wednesday night.

Funny how this WH and its supporters laugh about Bush and reading yet show their own ignorance in making comments about a law in Arizona deriding it yet they openly admit they have not read it. This comes from the highest law enforcement and homeland security positions in the land. Is it perhaps 17 pages is beyond their comprehension skills or do they feel that reading is unnecessary since their supporters seem to swallow everything they say hook line and sinker and feel that perhaps they are too inferior to read for themselves and therefore won't discover that the Arizona law is more protective of immigrants than the federal law? I think if I were a democratic supporter I wouldn't be ridiculing anyone right now for their reading skills, and I won't even mention they can't read the laws that make it illegal to offer someone a position whether paid or unpaid to get out of a race. But then I guess worrying about laws only comes into play when a democrat is trying to prosecute a republican, otherwise they claim "business as usual and everyone does it". Maybe they can make a list so we can all read it of which laws only apply to certain political parties and which ones we can ignore when it suits us.

It's crazy, but I don't totally disagree with Nordlinger xp, I think he makes a reasonable point. If I were in the White House, I'd be really formal and not crack jokes about other Presidents

I mostly posted that Nordlinger comment to set the scene for the Corner comments that are sure to follow.

btw, I totally think it's ok to make jokes about President Taft getting stuck in the bathtub nowadays.

LOL @ the outrage over Macca's remarks. Bush read books OK, but he was the king boor as pres, back-slapping and nick-naming, treating the world stage as his personal lockeroom

anybody else notice that the corner has been hacked w/bogus spam-links

mega lolz @ the Wanda sykes of popular music

Nordlinger posted a ton of inane shit today but the best was his attempted psychoanalysis of that Irish Nobel laureate who was on one of the Gaza ships

Re ‘Bolton!’ [Jay Nordlinger]

My inbox is full of e-mail in full-throated support of an idea we discussed earlier: Bolton for President. Some say, “My friends and I have talked about this for months.” Readers really want to bypass secretary of state altogether and send Bolton right to the Oval Office. In fact, that may be easier for JRB: election by the people over confirmation by the Senate.

Seriously, shouldn’t there be some outside-the-box candidates in 2012? A Petraeus, a Bolton? Must the field include only the same old suspects? Do you know a clearer thinker, a sharper speaker, a bolder official than Bolton? The times could use a guy like him, frankly. And in debate against Obama — wow.

Many readers have said, “About time we had a president with a mustache.” That’s what President Bush used to call him, or called him at least once: “The Man with the Mustache.” Readers also said, “When was the last time we had a president with glasses? Bush 41? How about before that?” A lot of people mentioned TR: mustachioed and bespectacled.

Finally, one reader said, “We conservatives always set our sights too low. Forget having Bolton as president. Make him dictator for a day, à la Friedman and China.” Yeah, and don’t forget that Woody Allen wants to confer dictatorial powers on Obama, too (temporarily, to be sure).

Anyway, I think I feel a draft . . . “Bolton for President.” To paraphrase an old line — I learned this from Bob Novak; a 19th-century Republican speaker of the House said it, I think — “The Republican party and the American people could do worse, and probably will.”

yeah nordlinger has been giving everyone else a strong run in the stupid + pissy + clueless + arrogant stakes. who the hell is this guy?

"And in debate against Obama — wow."

lol

Anyway, I think I feel a draft

BOLTON FOR PRESIDENT: Because Cheney Was Too Well-Liked

that’s what President Bush used to call him, or called him at least once: “The Man with the Mustache.”

oh dear God

Cover Your Mouth When You Yawn [Jay Nordlinger]

You want some boring old dog-bites-man? “A 46-year-old resident of Henan province who was abducted in March 2009 while talking to people in public about Falun Gong died in Zhengzhou prison camp last month . . .” Who was this dead kook? “Mr. Tian Yun was from Houguolei Village of Henan in Central China.” And what happened?

Shortly after being detained on March 27, 2009, Tian was “sentenced” in a sham trial at Hui County Court to three years in a prison camp. He was subsequently taken to Zhengzhou Prison in Xinmin. According to sources inside China, Tian was beaten, shocked with electric batons, and deprived of water at the prison camp. The camp guards tried to force Tian to denounce Falun Gong but he refused. He continued to be tortured and died in custody as a result of the abuse.

Yeah, yeah, happens every day, almost. Ho-hum. If you have insomnia, you can read the rest of the article here. The rest of the world can return to our regularly scheduled programming: the ongoing, eternal appeasement of the monsters in Beijing. Must never upset those monsters, ever. Being a ChiCom means being able to torture and kill at will — while the world simpers at your feet.

Nordlinger is the sort of guy who laughs hysterically at his own jokes.

We let them get away with it because their communists.

their is they're when you are a communist

Oh man.

bunch of interesting things in that:

- Ahmadinejad is obv totally wrong
- Wallace is making a sort of academic point ("I am just telling you what ~he said~"), as a reporter, and hannity animated that point to represent wallace's opinion, and what's his face read that falsely ascribed opinion as somehow being something that Wrong People (Obama!) are sayin "yeah that sounds right to me" to

an entire ilx thread in one blog lost imo

also it embodies precisely everything wrong about political discourse in lolmerica. instead of saying "ahmedinijad u rong" he targeted the guy who ~told him what ahmedinijad said~

good luck usa

"Has everyone on the planet bought the Obama argument — the one he articulated in his Address to the Muslim World, delivered in al-Cahara, or Cairo, or whatever you want to call it — that Israel was a consolation prize for the Holocaust, pure and simple? Does anyone know jack squat about Zionism?"

America's strong bonds with Israel are well known. This bond is unbreakable. It is based upon cultural and historical ties, and the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied.

Around the world, the Jewish people were persecuted for centuries, and anti-Semitism in Europe culminated in an unprecedented Holocaust.

Nordlinger has always been a prissy, fussy creep - he once described Obama's daughters as "scrumptious"
