“Sometimes it’s hard to believe that these people are the end result of the fastest sperm in the load.”

Oh Yeah, I’m using that one the first chance I get.

How many more “low-level” staffers is the NYT going to have to fire as a result of this new hire? Of course, compared to “Bloody Bill,” I’m sure Ross is a bargain.

Now if I was a real “rising star” journalist, hitching a ride on a sinking ship is probably the last thing I’d be doing.

What an unbelievably arrogant, unethical, fat faced, hairy, ugly fucking fuck. Maybe he can pen his own piece about activist gay freak judges in Iowa and ill advised legislative over reaction in Vermont without disclosing that his father was the biggest gay baiter in NYT history. A family of POS stains. Yech. Jackasses.

At age 29, Douthat will be the Times youngest full-time op-ed writer, but Rosenthal said that age wasn’t a consideration in hiring. However, Rosenthal said, you do “take the full package of a writer into account” when making such a decision.

Nowwwww I understand. Fastest sperm in the load indeed.

There’s no need to lower the conversation to attacks on one’s personal appearance.

When the target is an unbeleivably arrogant, unethical, moronic douchebag fountain of endless fucking stupidity, there’s no need at all.

I know it is a near impossible task to find a competent conservative writer these days, but maybe instead of being arbitrary and reaching into the cesspool to bob for this turd, you could have waited until one was born.
Hire good writers, worry less about representing the fringe.

It obviously was a very slow load.

URA Urologist?

Oooh, thin-skinned, dishonest and inept? Ladies grab him now before he becomes a Republican candidate for Congress!

I find the premise of the article Rosenthal is being dismissive of to be interesting.

The curious premise of the piece seemed to be that Madoff’s “victims” (the quote marks are Merkin’s) aren’t really blameless, since “no one was holding a gun to anyone’s head, saying sign up with Mr. Madoff or else.”

My Republican father had disdain for Madoff’s victims too. He claimed that Madoff offered 20% rates of return, and if you were so stupid that you didn’t know that was bogus, then someone else was bound to fleece you anyway. But I’ve never seen anything to back up his claim that Madoff offered a 20% return. Has anybody else?

Merkin’s (teehee, she’s named “merkin”)analogy doesn’t hold up at all for me. To me it’s more as though Joe the Not-Plumber showed up at your door to do a plumbing job with credentials proving that he was a master plumber, then he destroys your bathroom, and oops, it turns out he’s not licensed or trained. He just goes around pretending to fix things to get the money.

Anthropologist, actually.

Legacy’s just another word for “not possible to lose”.

“unafraid to take on orthodoxy and question it”

Double-Yew Tee Eff?

I thought Douche-That or -Hat was nothing but orthodoxy & traditional Catholic dogma. Is he going up against the Pope all of a sudden? Can’t wait to see that.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that these people are the end result of the fastest sperm in the load.

TBogg: The fast sperm were swimming in circles. The wingnut “elite” (–as in “Our Kind don’t ‘drink’; we have cocktails”–) are actually the spawn of the sperm with the highest tolerance for alcohol.

Madoff didn’t offer outlandishly high returns, just consistent returns. So your father was factually wrong.

In the load of the blind, the one-eyed sperm is king.

“It obviously was a very slow load.” Badda bing!
