Isn't that cute?

Fox News will show old interviews while Sarah Palin plays at being a real grown-up journalist.

Thanx to Pandagon.

Number Two

David "Babbling" Brooks has the Best Deal Evar. Not only does the Times pay him to say stupid things, but it's in his contract that they have to have an even stupider columnist to distract attention from him. It used to be Bill Kristol, and now it's Ross Douthat. It's a hard-fought stupidity contest. Brooks says that a woman who's out winning Oscars instead of taking care of Hubby deserves public humiliation, so Douthat replies that when a sexually repressive organization disqualifies people who have open, adult love lives and a lot of the ones who are left are child abusers, it can only be the liberals' fault.

Both thanx to Pandagon.

"Matzohgate"

Maybe my favorite G.K. Chesterton quote is "Once a man decides that any stick is good enough to beat his opponent with, he often picks up a boomerang."

Carly Fiorina is running for the Senate on the promise of doing for California what she did for Hewlett-Packard, which should be enough in itself to encourage support for any opponent who does not induce vomiting. Now she's being picked on for talking about "breaking bread" on Passover. Ha, ha, dummy, Jews eat matzoh!

Except that every seder I've been to refers to the matzoh as "unleavened bread," and of course it's easier to break than most kinds. It's kind of like you've got a guy who helped cover up hundreds of child rapes and you get on his case for not dodging the draft 65 years ago.
