...has such a verbal meatball been served up. Yes, it's Andrew Sullivan in support of Barack Obama's candidacy in the Atlantic Monthly. Indeed, it's two of our most loathed people in public life. Together. And brother this is synergy, as in 2+2=10 MILLION. As a good friend once said lamenting the essential problem about a menage-a-trois, "there's too much to do." So, I'm going to do nothing except give out a little homework. Read the article twice, once to get the broad sense of La Sullivan's point, the second time to luxuriate in the silliness. I recommend asking yourself at various points during the article whether La Sullivan would really be willing to go down to the felt with any of these opinions of his, up to and including "does he really feel that great about the prospect of an Obama presidency?" I assume you know not to bother looking for anything substantive like why or why not Obama's economic policies such as they are might be good or not good for the Dollar.

That's pretty fun, don't you think? Now, for a professional's take on the Republican Senator from Illinois who -- oh wow -- has skin that's slightly darker than mine (bestill my heart; this guy is fucking Martin Luther King, Jr., with a kasha knish on the side, and you are a racist if you think otherwise, but don't forget also that America is now "post-racial"):

I really can't find anything about Barack Obama to disqualify me from calling him "ASQUEROSO," "MALEDUCADO," "GROSERO," y "ESTUPIDO." I think I dislike him enough that faced with a choice of him and Mitt Romney, I'd bite down hard and vote for Romney, with a hope that the Massachusetts Romney's in there somewhere. Romney's a dick but the guy who governed Massachusetts from everything I can tell is far, far to Obama's left. And far brighter. I have never voted Republican in my life and prefer Kucinich in the race as I did four years ago. Just so that's clear.
Kelso's Nuts love you

Thanks, I guess, for making me read that pseudo-intellectual nonsense. The main thing that I learned was the anyone who uses the word "hubristic" is being hubristic. I love the self-reference in the preceding sentence.
I stopped reading "Atlantic" when I realized that the writers are paid by the number of SAT words that they use.
Nicely put. I agree with you. Pseudo-intellectual describes this very well.
