Favorite poster from NR's "The Corner"

I can only stand Goldberg when he duels with Peter Beinart.

PORTMANTEAU CORNER POSTING [John Derbyshire]
Andrew (and a swelling host of readers): I asked for a politician who "PROUDLY CLAIMED to be socially conservative but fiscally liberal." All suggestions so far have been apologetic about either the one thing or the other (with the possible exception of De Gaulle, about whom I don't know enough). Ramesh: Surely one factor in the rise of prison rape--which I feel sure was wellnigh unknown a generation ago--has been the striking down of the very strong social taboo on male-male buggery. This taboo was universal across all cultures, primitive and civilized, and even including those that tolerated male-male erotic bonding, until the rise of the "gay rights" movement in the modern West. I'm not saying that this is the only factor, or even the major factor, but it must surely be **a** factor.

I'm in Palm Beach County [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
What I've heard so far: "I just don't know who to vote for. I was thinking this morning I might just not."

"I see Obama everywhere I go. Magazine covers. TV. Is anyone else running?"

Inspiring.

I'm with Jay: Operation Sarah Saturation might not be a terrible plan.

Thank you for this thread. It will be a tough choice.

Can we have more quotes? I'd like more information (I'm an UNDECIDED voter finally yay!)

Derb:
Jennifer's bristols. Did I buy, or browse, a copy of the November 17 GQ, in order to get a look at Jennifer Aniston's bristols?** No, I didn't. While I have no doubt that Ms. Aniston is a paragon of charm, wit, and intelligence, she is also 36 years old. Even with the strenuous body-hardening exercise routines now compulsory for movie stars, at age 36 the forces of nature have won out over the view-worthiness of the unsupported female bust.

It is, in fact, a sad truth about human life that beyond our salad days, very few of us are interesting to look at in the buff. Added to that sadness is the very unfair truth that a woman's salad days are shorter than a man's — really, in this precise context, only from about 15 to 20. The Nautilus and the treadmill can add a half decade or so, but by 36 the bloom is definitely off the rose. Very few of us, however, can face up to this fact honestly, and I am sure this diary item will generate more angry e-mails of protest than everything else I have written this month.

** Bristols. Cockney rhyming slang. There is a well-known soccer team in England named Bristol City.

AHAHAHA wtf

omg Derbyshire might have just won my vote

wau

did he just admit to having paedo tendencies

a woman's salad days are shorter than a man's — really, in this precise context, only from about 15 to 20

i love his "i'm just saying what we're all thinking" gambit.

I mean, unlike the rest of The Corner, these are not Republican talking points.

"a woman's salad days" sounds pervy in a Derbyshire context.

What I love about reading these posts is the remembrance that NO thinks he's too leftwing for their tastes.

IT'S LIKE I'M SEEING DOUBLE

Pakistan [Lisa Schiffren]

On Pakistan, Obama's explication is sound, but he did call for invading an ally, which was pretty offensive. McCain was right, too. Pakistan is so complicated and difficult that a lot of explaining is necessary, and there really isn't a clear way to fix the problem.

naw he's just pro-choice. you can't be pro-life if you don't give a shit about anyone else! xp

At some point you guys will have to show more gratitude to Ned and me for getting you guys hooked.

i got myself hooked broski

Yeah, I've been offended by Jonah Goldberg for years! XP

Obama and the Clock [Jay Nordlinger]
There are reasons not to talk about Ayers, Wright, Khalidi, etc. — not to talk about Obama and radicalism. But there are reasons for doing so, too. And I ask this: If not now, when? (If not us, who?!) After November 4, it will be too late. Isn’t now the time to talk about it, discuss it, air it? Let Obama address it? What are campaigns for?

And where’s the media’s love of “vetting” (a word we heard a lot in early Palin days)?

It could be that Obama’s past radicalism, or tolerance of radicalism, has nothing to do with his present self. It could be that he has come a long way. I am ever mindful that about half of NR’s founding editors and writers were ex-Communists. But the thing is, they were really ex: and they were leading anti-Communists. To change one’s mind can be glorious. But where is Obama now?

I have a feeling that, once Obama is elected — if he is elected — the media will have a new candor about him. For now it’s, “Isn’t Sarah Palin stupid and racist?” (To be a conservative is to be called stupid and racist, even if you’re a combination of Albert Einstein and Frederick Douglass.)

so good both Alfred and I posted it today^^

WITH YOU ALWAYS

sloppy seconds to mickey kaus ekhjfeklsjfe

gotta feel sorry for the fine intellectual conservative woman's options

amy holmes is one of the stupidest people i've ever heard talk on tv

Also, doesn't Goldberg get points for writing that horrific Liberal Fascism? Where basically he argues that since Hitler was a vegetarian, and some liberals are vegetarians, therefore liberals are fascists?

gotta be k-lo

No contest.

I betcha k-lo hates Amy Holmes and wants her dead.

isn't there a "Daily Show" appearance wherein Goldberg was ripped a new one?

love how the right wing over the past decade has groomed these hot sociopaths to trot out their horrific talking points

bonus points if they're non-white hotties

Hmm.... [Alfred Soto]

Beinart has a wife and kid. But he talks with a lisp and winks at Goldberg through the camera. Makes you wonder.

Someone should email this link to NRO - CC the whole gang.

Amy Holmes is pretty hot but she's no K-Lo. I bet she's never even eaten a donut in her life

I think Derbyshire doesn't post at the Corner anymore....? I remember some mention of it, possibly by K-Lo. Wasn't sure if it had to do with the Derb-Ponnuru beef.

what's the percentage of women who go on cnn/msnbc/fox as either a "democratic strategist" or "republican strategist" and are hot? it's like 80%

DEATHLESS PROSE [John Derbyshire]
Good grief! I have just found out by accident that all these blatherings on The Corner are ARCHIVED FOR EVER and can be retrieved by Google. Oh my God! Try typing the following into Google, for instance: "lula penis urdu derbyshire." Time to leave the country... No, wait--Google is world-wide!! Aaaaaaargh!!!!!

Frum can be pretty reasonable: http://frum.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NmE5Njk3NDBlZGZhYWU4YTMyMGFkNjYyNjJmNzYwNTg=

"strategist" is code for "looking for work"

"Strategist" means "rejected by the Heritage Foundation"

I wonder what kind of drugs she is on, though.

in fairness, those "Cosmo" women are total whores

what with all their... looking at Scott Brown naked...? Actually I have no idea what goes on in "Cosmo" other than that.

K-Lo, can you handle this?

She is...Jabba Fierce.

fellas (and i mean fellas) i know these women are unattractive in about seventy ways, but come on

Yes, I know it's vile and misogynist, but I'm not going to let women who don't take care of their bodies lecture me or actively lobby for legislation that tells me what I can do with mine.

We need to balance this by posting more scary Jonah pictures.

http://wonkette.com/politics/upload/2006/07/jonah%20goldberg.jpg

I think someone needs to give Jonah Goldberg a lecture on personal hygiene.

"hai guys hung over after Judge Bork's martini party on the NRO cruise. Hit me up if you're up for burgers and beers"

http://lonestartimes.com/images/Benzion/jonah_goldberg_in_car.jpg

alfred only approves of hot babes lobbying for homophobic legislation

The perspective on that K-Lo picture is crazy. I mean I know it's just some trick of that black dress or the chair or something, but it really looks like she doesn't have a neck or much of a torso.

Also their expressions are just. . .

evil?

like, I feel like I'm looking at the villains in "Spy Kids 4" there

that's the chairs

Mark Thiessen, who looks like a pedo at Waffle House:

"like, I feel like I'm looking at the villains in "Spy Kids 4" there"

His expression maybe. Hers is so "well it is what it is" banal.

if we're casting the NR cruise movie, annyong will play maggie gallagher & marc thiessen can be played by

this is kind of crossing a few threads r/n, but did anyone else see someone on the corner bigging up UKIP? wtf is that about

that's the kind-of-less-fascist british white person's party, right?

The Corner's been weirdly quiet. Sullivan's the one going postal.

Mods, is it okay to lock this so I can start a new thread? this is getting unwieldy.

Done and done.
