Lancing with Wolves
It’s a given that the people most terrorized by the terrorist attacks on 9/11 were right wing columnists, pundits, and bloggers. Children who lost parents in the attacks have faced life since that day with more courage, hope, mercy, charity, and forebearance than these cowardly lions who have been scaring themselves witless every day since by pulling their own tails.
“Oh, it’s hard believe me, missy,When you’re born a Right Wing sissy…”
Wait. Where was I? Oh yeah.
It wasn’t hard to terrorize them, since I’m afraid there’s no denyin’, they were just some dandy lions to begin with. That’s why they are attracted to the Right. They love the love of power and the willingness to rain down, at least the willingness to wish out loud for, death on all enemies that has become the hallmark of Right Wing rhetoric.
Enemies being anyone who scares them, which is to say anyone who is not them.
Their basic cowardice has been exposed day in and day out since 9/11. Most of them are young and none of them have enlisted to go fight the enemies they want dead, dead, dead. And although many of them are working journalists—Jonah Goldberg, Michelle Malkin, for example—you don’t see them rushing off to Bagdad to report on the war like the man who ought to have been their hero and role model Michael Kelly, the editor of the Atlantic who died covering the early days of the invasion. You’d think that even if they’re too chicken to fight, the least they could do would be to spend a month or so in Iraq to bring back all the good news they claim the rest of the media is failing to tell us about.
Lance Mannion’s take on the Rightwhingers, and especially Roger Simon, is a classic.

Maybe this Anne Coulter bitch could quit dancing to the tune of the golden pipers for a year maybe, and do a bit of her fancy footwork around all those implemented explosive devices in the sands of Iraq.

I was looking for fodder for today’s post (I made this promise to myself that I would stop worrying about always being relevant and/or eloquent and write a new post every day from now on, even if some of them might be less than brilliant) so, I tuned in here because The American Street was at the top of my blogroll, which is sorted by the most recent updates.
And since I liked the post you quoted, I am off to read the rest of it and see where that leads…

Last year I said that the George Yeltsin Bush twins (I cannot remember their names — but who cares?) were duty-bound to report to the nearest army recruitment office (or the marines, etc.) when they graduated from college. But I haven’t heard anything about this matter from the Mainstream Fascist Medias yet. Are these babes busy testifying against Micheal Jackson or something???
