NRO's The Corner 2: Ghost Protocol

this is really fucked up

in the course of mounting a defense of a gay foreign policy aide to mitt romney, mr wmson goes through the motions of some truly arch arch archreacitonary shit about sex, marriage, culture etc.

we need a term for that kind of mode of writing, not exactly throat-clearing, but "i am in a dispute with another conservative, and i'm taking was looks like the not-most-right-wing line, so i have to sound like a really angry asshole about something kind of related to what i'm talking about"

I'm sure there's a term for that type of rhetoric. It's p common.

assholery

What perfect timing!

Our paper describes six studies conducted in the United States and Germany involving 784 university students. Participants rated their sexual orientation on a 10-point scale, ranging from gay to straight. Then they took a computer-administered test designed to measure their implicit sexual orientation. In the test, the participants were shown images and words indicative of hetero- and homosexuality (pictures of same-sex and straight couples, words like “homosexual” and “gay”) and were asked to sort them into the appropriate category, gay or straight, as quickly as possible. The computer measured their reaction times.

straight men were asked to blow the researcher, toothiness reported on a 10-point scale

So many examples they could have included, too

"i could barely fit it into my mouth"

omg lol

What is he on? Is it a combination of 5 hour energy and beef jerky?

Probably how he wrote his books.

paul masson champagne surely

a combination of 5 hour energy and beef jerky

if this appeared under him when he was on tv I might cry at the beauty.

So, I was on Piers Morgan’s show on CNN tonight. It was a shameful spectacle. He pretended to be a serious interviewer and I spent far too long pretending he was one too. My apologies to everyone who tuned in. I will have a more comprehensive response tomorrow on the Tyranny of Cliches blog.

Hahah I wonder if he went in thinking "Well he can't be as mean as Jon Stewart..."

sorry dude this what the kids call epic fail

i'm sure that's entertaining but i really just hate both these guys

I like the .gifs but I'm not actually going to, you know, watch any of this.

i'm sure that's entertaining but i really just hate both these guys

Agreed, I can't even bring myself to watch this because I hate Morgan as least as much as I do Goldberg.

Mr. Goldberg's thoughts are now up.

apparently he fawned and gushed over his next guest, some liberal actress. So much for going after both “sides” equally

(This was Rosario Dawson, BTW.)

I really don't like talking about gushing in such proximity to Morgan or Goldberg but I'm sure Morgan fawned over Rosario Dawson because she's hot -- I doubt he even knows about her political affiliation.

Conservative analysts and commentators admit their biases up front, and so journalists dismiss them as biased. “Objective” analysts and commentators lie about not having biases and their statements are taken at face value. I remember when I used to be on CNN how frustrating it was to have liberal contributors be asked “What did you think of the speech?” But when it came time to ask me or another conservative it was “So, Jonah, what’s the conservative take on this?

I hate to write it but this is true btw

All of which would be much better expressed by someone other than the goateed marshmellow.

I prefer The Hairy Yam

gross

I learn something new about you every day.

^^^^ revealing the recession jonah should be most anxious about

i hate piers as much as anyone but jonah is clueless in this interview

Isn't Piers Morgan just the America's Got Talent guy? Why is he on CNN?

because God hates us

sorry guys but Jonah wins the Dog-licked Hair Award.

piers morgan used to be a tabloid journalist/editor in the UK, and cnn is a pretty low rent news channel iirc so

he took over for larry king

in being awful

He makes Larry King look like Edward R. Murrow.

yeah i really didn't think one could do worse than King for a show like that, but there you go

gee for a guy who writes big asshole-ripping books and spouts such bold opinions jonah didn't defend himself v well

just another internet hardman

"Are we really going to do this? Really?"
