Watching that constitutes self-abuse, and not in the good way.

What, no Halperin to represent the pseudo-left nepotist’s viewpoint? I refuse to watch then. Did anyone use a telepromter? Because my teevee keeps telling me that is the most important thing in my life right now.

Tbogg, next time save yourself eighty-nine minutes and just pour bleach in your eyes.

I didn’t know CSPAN did mindporn… watching these guys must’ve been the equivalent of an intellectual snuff movie: “Ooh, spot the braincell… splat!”

Better you than me, Tbogg. I’d rather beat myself in the face with a blunt axe than read/listen to/watch any of those assclowns.

You will never erase the pain of those 90 minutes from your memory. You are a braver man than I. I only have to deal with reading and grading the work of intellectually impaired stoner freshman, which is pure pleasure by comparison.

Thank you Tbogg, thank you for rotting your soul so we dont have too. There will be a little something extra from the Dark Lord Soros in your next paycheck.

It’s a veritable black hole of suck.

How can anyone who tries to make the case for nepotism mention George W. Bush on the cover? …Wow, it’s been several days since I even gave W. a thought.

I hope you went through decontamination when it was over.

Did anyone show up with a poster of Jonah scoring in the top 100 for unsexiest?

And Adam Bellow, midwife of the Pantload’s book, would understand nepotism all too well, no?

This graf comes from a not unfriendly review:

Nepotism in many ways is like its furtive sibling, onanism: a practice that people are irresistibly compelled to indulge in, and one that gives them great satisfaction, but one in which no one can take public pride. Neither one is wrong, exactly—but that doesn’t make them right. And either one, practiced in excess, is said to produce a certain narcissistic enervation.

I watched them for a quite a while. To me, it was somewhat like not being able to look away from a car wreck.

Glenn Greenwald on Twitter? I assumed a 15-word level of concision would be impossible for him…

My doctor, who is wise beyond his years, forbids me from watching Doughy. So I take my Pantload dose vicariously via TBogg. A little spike in my BP is worth it for a good chuckle.

About the only good thing on CSPAN is “Book notes”.

“The work ethic is not a traditional value. It is a Johnny-come-lately idea. In ancient times, work was considered a disgrace inflicted on those who had failed to amass a nest egg through imperial conquest, profitable marriage, or in forms of organized looting”

I think we all would be interested in a Tbogg live blogging of an event like this.

For the longest ninety minutes of your life outside of a colonoscopy

Inside a colonoscopy it’s too dark to read. And no one can hear you scream.

Also, Popin Fresh? I didn’t know the pontiff had a rap career.

I’ll be thinking of this post during my colonoscopy next week; perhaps the higher use of this video will be during all that unpleasantness before the procedure. I’m thinking that everyone in attendance was just getting ready to see the ol’ back end doc the next day.

I totally admire you for witnessing that horror show. I tried to watch it, I really did. But my eyes kept rolling back in my head. Too much Kristol and Goldberg in one sitting seems to trigger that response in me.

Goldberg slumping back in his chair and rubbing his eyes half the time really showed his level of interest in being there. He looked constipated. And Kristol sounded crabby, too. Maybe the Conservatives are all feeling a little cranky.

Hey, if you ask nicely, maybe tbogg will liveblog your colonocopy, too. He’s clearly got the intestinal fortitude for that kind of thing…

Doctor [with a concerned look on his face]: “Well, Mr. String, we removed this from your colon. At first, we thought it was a malignant tumor, but on closer inspection it turns out to be… Jonah Goldberg. I thought we’d agreed to improve your diet the last time you were here… Can you shed some light on this?”

oh. my. god. you did not listen to those stupid fuckers… holy crap, what is wrong with you t.?

Sounds like they need a vacation. An eight year vacation. Or perhaps a “Permanent Vacation.”

String, the colonoscopy is really not so bad, should be over before you know it. It can’t compare to the agony that TBogg went through watching those clowns. Mrs. TBogg will need to keep an eye out for signs of PTSD.

At least they remember Bush. The rest of the conservative establishment, as well as the entire Republican party, seems to have forgotten him.

…conservative establishment…seems to have forgotten him…

How convenient.

Can we vote them off the island now?

You guys totally fucking owe me.

no, we don’t. that coverage is denies under the liberal mental health insurance plan, as self abuse.

However if it was work related, it might be covered under workman’s compensation. Please fill in the form a this link, in triplicate, and have it signed by three living popes.

ack!

THANK YOU, thank you for watching so that i don’t have to – i know the feeling.

kinda like all the hours i watched “fakenews” during the campaign & then reported the lies to the ppl on my email list, so they didn’t have to watch it.

they owe me big time.

“Jonah Goldberg (son of Lucianne and Popin’ Fresh”

roflmao

am told these ‘wilderness’ thingies last about 40 years

yo Aaron! put that golden calf over there, next to that pile of rended xxl dockers

Hey T,

You probably haven’t noticed your repeated, gratuitous, dissing of old people. You have expressed disdain of us old people in a good deal of your writing and, if you will pardon the expression..it’s getting old. Check the record.

Today you wrote in part:

“an audience whose average age appears to be in their late sixties so Conservatism seems to heading for The Age of Apple Sauce and Lawn-You-Damn-Kids-Getting-Off-Of.”

I’m not a TBogg regular, but I get the impression that he’s an equal opportunity disser of all kinds of people. But maybe not.

“Leave old people alone!!!!!!”

I hope you flushed the toilet after you were done, it would be rude to leave those turds just floating for the next guy to run into.

I’m really old and I like it. Old people are funny – think Estelle Getty. It’s not always easy being old – joints, etc., but I find that I laugh more than I ever have, sleep better than I have in years, I pretty much eat whatever I want (don’t want to think on my deathbed that I wish I had had that other piece of chocolate cake) and I love my life. What’s not to like – I’m still here.

This settles the question raised by Rodney King, methinks.

I was replying to #29. I’m not so young myself. *g*

Oh, and pass the chocolate cake, please.

Someone has chocolate cake & is not sharing it?

C&L posted some of Goldberg, and your summary is spot on.

Boy, this really was the nepotism brigade…

Sorry, I ate it all but I have some on the way from Boston Coffeecake. Yum. Promise to share next time.

Promises, promises.

I, hopefully, got my oven fixed on the third try today. I might have to make some chocolate cake for myself. So there.

“Jonah Goldberg (son illegitimate love-child of Lucianne and Poppin’ Fresh”

limp biscuit? Jonah lacks gravy-tas.

Estelle Getty isn’t old.

She’s dead.

Equal opportunity dissing is good for those who deserve it by their words and deeds, but not for who they are. Useful distinction I think, took a long time to learn in reference to color and gender, still haven’t got normal respect for teenagers and the aged.

BTW I forgot to say thanks to TBogg for your good works aside from the ageism taint.

I think it’s good to tell young people they needn’t be scared of getting old. I think their fears are behind some of the disrespect.

Recall Sen Byrd’s impassioned and eloquent attempt to disuade the senate from agreeing to bush’s war.

FWIW, if you have to revisit your snark and double-check that you haven’t offended any particular minority/special interest group, your schtick is toast. There’s just no way tbogg’s grade A high quality blow would give the same high if it had to be cut down to accommodate all the sensitive souls out there aching to feel insulted. And think about it: a surprising number of neo-cons are fat, stupid, ugly *and* old — they’d have so many more reasons to feel offended.

String, the colonoscopy is really not so bad, should be over before you know it.

I’m rather counting on that actually. That and the heavy dose of narcotics, which as we all know, makes all things tolerable. Except Jonah GoldLoad; nothing works in that case.

From the Wingnut Squirrels Finding Nuts Then Immediately Losing Them Department:

“Conservative blogger Erick Erickson of RedState.com tells the Huffington Post he’s open to Webb’s bill.

“‘I think it is worth considering, particularly in the light of drug laws. It seems at some point people will realize, assuming we maintain illegality for drugs, that treatment is a far better alternative to incarceration,’ says Erickson.

“He adds, however, ‘that reforming the criminal justice system is mostly irrelevant. First you’ve got to stabilize families, which will then lead to fixing the education system, which will then allow you to actually fix the criminal justice system.’”

‘Cause in the end, it’s all about families.

So close to sane for such a short time…

Halperin didn’t show because it would have required him to admit he is the spawn of an inbred alchoholic Satan. He stinks of mendacity and fetal alchohol syndrome.

Personally, I love old people, every chance I can get. If you don’t believe me, ask your–nope, not going there.
