Celery/Bop...
[Read the article: Why do conservatives really find the Obama campaign "scary"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Heh. DCLaw1.
The first day in jail Glenn is assigned as a cell mate George W. Bush?
Glenn walks in to meet his cellmate... GWB... wants to get acquainted.
GWB ask Glenn to spot him as he lifts dumbbells in a daily regiment.
Glenn exits jail with big mammoth mussels and a new Texan friend.
-- GoodCelery!

Your post is, as Johnny Carson would put it, "WILD, WILD stuff".

The expected, indeed seemingly inevitable, capitulation
[Read the article: Exclusive capitulation report: House Democratic leadership circulates FISA bill]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Glenn:
Thanks for staying on top of this. I appreciate your work, because it's demoralizing just to read about these events; I can't imagine how it is to be journalist/blogging, in depth, almost every day on your subject matter.

Jonah's book
[Read the article: The religion of balance and centrism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I haven't read any of J. Goldberg's books, nor do I plan to. Nor Limbaugh's, Coulter's or Billo's. I've only seen excerpts of "Liberal Fascism" on blogs like Glenn's.
I didn't suspect that ANY self respecting book critic had given Jonah a half decent review; this is like seeing a positive review for a Yoko Ono album. I can't believe anyone whose opinion is worth listening to would give chickenhawk Jonah the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for that review earlier in the comments.
Even literary critics are increasingly part of the non-reality based community.

Interesting letters on this
[Read the article: Who cares if Eliot Spitzer hires prostitutes?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"...There's an old saying about lead, follow or get out of the way.. I'll choose none of the above.. If I think the leaders and followers are headed in the wrong direction I have no problem at all putting my ass right in their way.
I'm stubborn, opinionated, self righteous, arrogant and a jerk. And those are my good qualities."

Gotta like that.
Glenn, thanks for the post. It's certainly got a few moralistic folks' knickers in a twist.
Spitzer still has to deal with his family, first and foremost. And his Harvard trained attorney wife can (and probably should) chew him up and spit him out. And this sting does smell, worse than Siegelman's ordeal and trial did. Please, let someone go after the ones who ordered the electronic and/or financial surveillance of the governor. This setup reeks of Rove.

Reports of their demise may have been (kinda sorta) exaggerated
[Read the article: Signs of life from House Democratic leaders]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I can picture Bernie Sanders, Barney Frank, Kucinich and both Kennedys high fiving this week as they tell each other, "It's about damn time!"
One can hope the unsubstantiated sightings of democratic backbone continue as Barack and Hillary keep getting high turnout in the primaries. I don't want Gillespie, Rove or Canary and his gals to have a snowball's chance this fall of cheating their way to another Ohio (2004) or Florida (2000).

G. Greenwald is on fire
[Read the article: Misadventures in logical reasoning -- and lessons learned from the Spitzer scandal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Great post.
And I care a great deal what Tina likes.

Cindy McCain is rich. John not so much.
[Read the article: Misadventures in logical reasoning -- and lessons learned from the Spitzer scandal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]McCain was boiking his current wife before he left his former one - I wonder how he paid...err...I mean...what he gave her.
-- bignose
It's her money. That's probably why he originally proposed; at that point, he was almost broke, according to teh tubez.

Roaming of teh stupid
[Read the article: Misadventures in logical reasoning -- and lessons learned from the Spitzer scandal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"...If people must be protected from their own stupidity then what's to stop us from protecting them from their own lack of patriotism or inability to hold a job.
It certainly wouldn't do to let stupid people roam freely would it?"

Why did I just picture Hagee's congregation, filing into that stadium sized sanctuary.
Great debate. Even I (who obviously have absolutely no sense of compassion, unlike some commenters) can appreciate this back and forth.
Wait. Inability to hold a job... Sounds like a certain president.

This thread
[Read the article: Misadventures in logical reasoning -- and lessons learned from the Spitzer scandal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here](peeks over the keyboard cautiously)
Is the hurricane over?
Has HRH flown the Enola Gay (or a more recent bomber) over the evil interventionists and conservatives on Glenn's blog?
Has Tropical Storm Tina desisted from days of shrill vitriol?
Have bucky and LWM signed up with UFC for a per per view bout?
Has Bush ordered the USAF to bomb the bejeezus out of every salvia plant in the hemisphere yet?
Like bop/celery might say, I'se just funnin'.

Well!
[Read the article: Misadventures in logical reasoning -- and lessons learned from the Spitzer scandal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think I've just been insulted.
I can't be sure, though. I consider myself a fairly intelligent guy, but I can't make heads or tails of that, Mr. Celery.
You could just simply say, "You're not funny, dude."
It sounded good when I typed it!
