Al Sharpton with Kazuo Kawasaki eyeglasses

The line of modern conservatism that can be traced back to National Review founder William F. Buckley would be broken by Palin, Will said. “There’s no Reagan without Goldwater, no Goldwater without National Review and no National Review without Buckley — and the contrast between he and Ms. Palin is obvious.” Asked if the GOP would remain the party of ideas if Palin captures the nomination, Will said: “The answer is emphatically no.” Ulululululu, says Rot.

“The appeal of conservatism is supposed to be people taking responsibility for their own actions,” said Labash. “But if you close your eyes and listen to Palin and her most irate supporters constantly squawk or bellyache or tweet about how unfair a ride she gets from evil mustache-twirling elites and RINO saboteurs, she sounds like a professional victimologist, the flip side of any lefty grievance group leader. She’s becoming Al Sharpton, Alaska edition. The only difference being, she wears naughty-librarian glasses instead of a James Brown ‘do.”

Ouchhh!!

Mr roT said...

we discuss Matt Labash quotes here?

Ouch indeed.

Tecumseh said...

What's wrong with Matt Labash? He sounds like your random Texan:

He graduated from the University of New Mexico. Labash attended high school in San Antonio, Texas at Gateway Christian School. His father was an officer in the Air Force, and Labash lived some of his childhood years in Germany.

Mr roT said...

About Chopra, Labash is kind of a failed, Entertainment Media version of James O'Keefe.

There's the right role for him.

Tecumseh said...

Looks like Labash scratched a raw nerve with you, or something. You sure he's so bad, even though he's Senior Writer at the Weekly Standard? Then Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes must be idiots, too, by extension...

Mr roT said...

Typical Tecsian appeal to authority:

"Don't worry," says Tecs, "He's a Senior Writer at the Weekly Standard, just like Fred Barnes."

As far as Ailes-Palin is concerned, just to clear things up, you're quoting inside information from an unnamed source published by New York magazine.

What's next for you, Tecs? Gonna dutifully copy-paste Andrew Sullivan's sodomite-obstetrician views on the parentage of the Palin Klan?

Tecumseh said...

Palin-drones brook no criticism of their idol.

Mr roT said...

A comparison to Al Sharpton is any criticism.

Got it.

Tecumseh said...

Says Al: the question is whether they’re trying to distance her and therefore remove themselves from somebody they have lost control over. What's he saying?

Mr roT said...

It is quite simple.

Sharpton is asking whether establishment GOPers are distancing themselves from Palin because they can't control her.

Tecumseh said...

Aha. (Distance her)=(distance from her)=(remove from her). Got it.

Tecumseh said...

As Mr roT predicted, Sullivan weighs in on this momentous subject. And so does Rush.

Earthquakes? Tsunamis? Nuke meltdowns? Scorched earth in Lybia? Nahhh. It all pales by comparison.

Mr roT said...

In "distance her," The word "distance" is a verb.

Richtig?

Mr roT said...

Looks like Rush sees it like I do. That is, "Sharpton? What the fuck?"

Rightly so.

Tecumseh said...

So you think "distance her" is correct grammar? Hmmm...

And, how come you like Rushbo all of a sudden? I thought you thought he's a big fat idiot? Definitions are infinitely malleable in Rotter Logick?

Tecumseh said...

Law of unintended consequences: When has disapproval from establishment Republicans stopped her in the past? And especially from conservative intellectuals? If the goal here is to intimidate Palin into staying on the sidelines, it seems to me the likelier effect is that it will goad her into entering the race. Oh, my.

OK, OK, Labash is an idiot. He shoulda kept his big mouth shut.
