I’m having a hard time believing that this exists. But I don’t want to repeat myself.

What the fuck does “upconvert” mean? Is that a typo or another dreadful neologism?
Josh Marshall runs down his friends in the Alcoa sombrero crowd. He’s apparently happy to believe anything.
It has been reported that Randy just walked out of an interview with the Guardian. Randy is not a politician…or just clueless how to run for president of America.
It may be calculated to show he’s equal opportunity re: dissing media after his previous patronizing mansplaining to female interviewers
Not a politician. The young Dr. is following the old Dr. into the family grift business, I’m convinced.
Well, you hit the nail on the head the other day with the buffoon observation, although prob’ly a few of us around here have been using that term for Rand some time, ha-ha. While Rand’s face should be placed within the online definitions of the term, there (obviously) are many, many elected GOoPers across the nation who are located right on the border of the term, such as Scott Walker, who seems at least a quasi-buffoon. But I digress.
What’s interesting to me about The Buffoon is that he clearly has an early media strategy of trying to “discipline” the interviewers to give an easy time of it to him or risk a walkout and/or an in-your-face interview, which most of our esteemed journos (and their bosses) don’t much like. So if The Buffoon is given ANY difficulty at all, he has made it quite clear he’ll be combative and difficult. This was buddy McCain’s strategy and The Buffoon has adopted it.
The braindead Repub base has no problem with this media approach, of course, indeed it will be seen as “strength” and “standin’ up to the lib’rul media!” To the extent there’s a difference between the rancid bottom of the Repub base and conserva-tarians, they see the lib’rul media similarly.
It does seem that The Buffoon is personally quite thin-skinned as well, so this strategy also plays to what he personally wants to do to interviewers anyway. The question is how long he will be able to keep up the delusion that he is a serious candidate meriting an interview, haha.
Hard to believe how brain-dead the Village has gotten.
Yeah. Paul is Paul, but Ambinder’s stupidity-cynicism combo is really shocking.
it’s very confusing to them how lame-duck Obama is shifting everything around under their feet.
A Kindergarten sandbox. A child, posturing before adults for the edification of other Kindergarten children.
