The other night Keith Olbermann called out the National Journal’s resident douchebag Stuart Taylor for, well, being a douchebag, and today Stuart responds in that "I hear some nobody was talking shit about me and I couldn’t care less….. but, since I brought it up, here is my response to that thing that doesn’t deserve a response because I’m totally above it all" tone of voice that we normally associate with Jonah Goldberg when the universe laughs at him.
Of the nitpicks:
Olbermann claimed that Sotomayor’s 1974 letter was "milquetoast and accurate" in complaining "about the lack of opportunities for Hispanics at her school."
False again. "Milquetoast?" Sotomayor’s language — which Olbermann carefully avoided quoting — made Princeton sound a bit like a genocidal dictatorship. She accused the school of "institutional discrimination," of "total absence of regard, concern and respect for an entire people and their culture," and of "an attempt — a successful attempt so far — to relegate an important cultural sector of the population to oblivion."
So, for those keeping score at home, Sotomayor called the administration at Princeton a bunch of fucking Nazis and, therefore, her failure to understand Godwin’s Law (see GODWIN v. USENET [07-1601] ) means she’s an intemperate bitch whose seat on the Supreme Court should be filled by a nice white Catholic boy who knows how to keep his fucking mouth shut.
Q.E.D. Case closed. In your face. Suck it.

Hey Stuart, I say harsher things about racism at my university and my country all the time and I am a lily white hillbilly (grossly over educated branch) professor. Does that meant that I am a racist who hates white people (I actually had students say that on student evaluations a couple of times).
This pompous idiot isn’t worth the electrons either Olberman or TBogg has spent on him. Yawn.
How dare she say that about an institution that, in 1974, had been admitting women students for FIVE WHOLE YEARS?! That means they weren’t being taken for granted!
How could they possibly have been any more welcoming? What did she want, for the school not to have a group called Concerned Alumni of Princeton actively working to resegregate the university? What an uppity bitch! WE WHITE PEOPLE started the racism; give us the dignity of deciding when it’s over!
You know, Stu, when arguing that someone misrepresented the argument you should, in your quotes, you know, use quotes that prove your point and not reinforce the obvious point the other guy made.
“Institutional discrimination” = Genocidal dictatorship? Um. No. “Institutional discrimination” = Princeton in the 1970s. Jesus fucking christ. People could probably make the same argument today.
total absence of regard, concern and respect for an entire people and their culture,? Probably, seeing how Princeton didn’t admit women until 4 years prior, nevermind women of dusky hues. Again, point Olbermann.
an attempt — a successful attempt so far — to relegate an important cultural sector of the population to oblivion.? OK, this one rises above “milquetoast” but only to “slightly burnt milquetoast”. It’s boiler plate rhetoric for 19-year olds, but it’s even fairly gutsy for 19 year olds, especially if they are a distinct minority within a minority at one of the Oldest Old Boy schools in the US. AND EVEN THEN, it sounds a LOT more like “about the lack of opportunities for Hispanics at her school” than it does “Genocidal dictatorships”.
What a absolute loser. A fucking intellectual midget. And, of course, one of the “leading” legal journalists in the country. That’s how doomed we are.
“I hear some nobody was talking shit about me and I couldn’t care less….. but, since I brought it up, here is my response to that thing that doesn’t deserve a response because I’m totally above it all” tone of voice that we normally associate with Jonah Goldberg when the universe laughs at him.”
This is of course why Jonah is so much more entertaining than most of them. After all, that’s what Liberal Fascism is all about and nothing more.
Stuart Taylor’s commentary on Sotomayor has been uninformed and generally worthless. He should stick to subjects he knows something about.
Oh…..I see….
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about when
Ahmadenajadthe President of Iran was talking atYalesome American Ivy League and he said Iran doesn’t have homosexuals. (I’m not in the mood to check my spelling or facts–y’all know what I’m talking about.) I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the look on his face when the entire auditorium erupted in laughter. At him.It is reminding me a lot of Republicans lately.
They can go back to Mormonstan and Plantationstan and feel good about themselves, but when they crawl out into the light, they spout this shit which is so nakedly absurd it deserves little more than laughter. Not even dismissive laughter. Laugh-at-the-assclown laughter.
HEY!
FENWAY”S STILL A PUPPY! LANGUAGE, PLIZ!
Stuart Taylor would be lucky to get a job shoveling shit if he weren’t white.
She wrote this as a college student. WTF?
Well, Obama saying he wanted to be President when he was six when later he claimed he never really thought about it until after 2004 or so showed to the right that he also was also lying about being a secret muslim and not being born in Kenya and a socialist and the antichrist and a big poopiehead.
So, you know, 19 is actually pretty good in comparison.
Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou.
Sheesh the motherfucking nerve of … of these women, these dark-skinned usurpers, ragheads and assorted drug dealers DO NOT, and never will be equals in this society because, well, just because motherfuckers, that’s why!
It’s hard out here for a white man, hard I tell ya!
I can almost see Stu, sitting in his cubicle…trying to focus his wayward eyes on that Molly Sims calendar his editor got him for his birthday…thinking of the time, a scant decade ago, when going on MSNBC was a regular perk of his career.
He’d go on and shoot the shit with Tweety about what a terrible scumbag Clinton was and how he was so embarrassed to tell his kids what a blowjob was…I can almost hear him humming the theme to ”The Way We Were”
Milquetoast language=genocidal dictatorship? I am confused. P.S. Your closing? Genius. Q.E.IndEed!
Stuart Taylor is not a mere douchebag. He’s certainly not an average, everyday, run-of-the-mill douchebag. No, Stuart Taylor is a huge, gigantic, colossal, unbelievably gargantuan supersize douchebag. If Jupiter needed a douchebag, Stuart Taylor would be several sizes too big.
As another member of the over-educated branch of lily-white hillbillies, I am so loving this little drama. All these high-born over-privileged never-hit-a-Goddamn-lick-at-a-snake white boys pissing all over themselves because of a slight danger of Gravy Train derailment.
One of the (many) ironies of this Stuart Taylor dust-up is that Taylor’s job is a sinecure – I mean what the hell else are you going to call a magazine that loses money and has no believable chance of reversing that condition? He’s a God damn paid propagandist for whitey status-quo and he has the lack of self-awareness to pick on Judge Sotomayor? How the hell does somebody that worthless FIND their place of employment each day, much yet get paid?
Oh, right, Taylor is an ass-kissing white guy. They always look out for their own.
Onions!!
Rutabagas!
you kids get off my lawn!
