Is there any more useless piece of trash in our national media than Jennifer Rubin? It just occured to me that I may dislike her even more than I dislike David Brooks (which I did not think was possible), for pretty much the opposite reason: while Brooks tries to coat all his inhumane political prescriptions in smooth, chin-stroking centrist twisted logic, Rubin seems to strive to be as nasty, divisive, and offensive as possible, not to mention stupid. And she gets paid to do it by one of the nation’s two papers of record.

As most folks probably remember, WaPo hired her for the position formerly held by Dave Weigel, whom they were happy/relieved to let go. That right there tells me everything I need to know about WaPo runs its editorial pages. The only thing I don’t get is, why Rubin rather than some other wingnut? Was Dana Loesch unavailable?

It will remain an enduring mystery to me how someone as bone-stupid as Rubin lands a gig at WaPo (or at any publication higher up the food chain than the local Pennysaver).

She has certain abilities that make her more hire-able than most of her compatriots? I’m thinking that maybe her head can spin around 360 degrees, and she can projectile vomit pea soup or caustic venom. Great fun at parties!
Anyway, I love the photo – Zero made the all-time greatest Mephistopheles, in my opinion, to Gene’s hapless Faust. Young Fronkensteen was hands down Brooks’ greatest, but this comes in a close second, and only because he hadn’t yet hit his stride.

If this is considered a “conservative” play is there a problem with the left’s relationship to the truth?

My six-year-old nephew’s conversations with his stuffed animals have fewer non sequiturs than Rubin’s interview.

The very air we breathe laments that it must also sustain Jennifer Rubin.

As for the play- is it really a ‘conservative play’ that ‘tells the truth’? If so, it would be an aberration.

Let’s cut Jennifer Rubin a little slack. She’s just trying to fill the gaping void in her life that’s a result of no longer having Willard Romney’s testicular sack in her mouth 24 hours a day.

(Tasted like Old Spice, in case you’re wondering.)

I yearn for the soon to arrive day when WaPo puts up their pay wall. No access will be sweet, sweet relief from my own failed attempts to keep myself from clicking the links to Rubin.

Pay walls may not work as a business model, but they are doing wonders for my sadomasochism.

Maybe Sheldon Adelson and the Creepy Walton Heirs can throw a bunch of money into the production. They need another sinkhole for all that money now that Willard has flopped.

Oh, ewwww… Just EWWWWW. Don’t ever, ever, EVER do that again. [stomps off to find the brain bleach]

It’s actually worth clicking on that linky to her tantrum. The comments are priceless. Here’s one sample from jadegold2000:

JRube: I’ve written a play in my mind, I haven’t had time to put it down on paper. It’s all about how the Right concealed the fact Ronald Reagan was mentally incompetent during most of his tenure in office.

It has poignancy, sadness, and comedy.

Why hasn’t the Rightwing media reviewed the play in my mind? Is it bias?

I’m also thinking about a play about George W. Bush’s efforts to dodge the draft. Please contact your friends in the Rightwing media.

Lovely. Lots more tasty mangoes where that one came from. It’s worth getting out of the boat for this one.

I know one thing: if the play never gets produced, it will be because of leftist bias and not because it stinks.

CEO of the conservative PJ Media made a play but can’t decide if it’s conservative?

If they really wanted to be sure to get the play covered, they could have done worse than “Penthouse Bolsheviks”:

[cutain opens on a man sitting at a typewriter]

[voiceover as he types]: I am a reporter at a major metropolitan daily but I never thought something like this would ever happen to me….

You’d think “uncast” and “unproduced” would give her a clue.

Nope.

Heh, makes one wonder if it even has lines, scenes, acts.
