How to pwn a moonbat misogynist

JammieWearingFool shows how it's done:

When last heard from, Andrew Sullivan was trying to finagle out his marijuana bust on Cape Cod. That provided enough amusement. Now the deranged former "conservative" with the very unhealthy obsession over Sarah Palin is shocked -- shocked! -- Mrs. Palin managed to churn out a 400-page book in a scant four months. I think his problem is it will be a huge bestseller, far outpacing anything he could ever dream of.

Let me guess. Is Sullivan planning a book compilation chronicling the past year's bizarre, incoherent ramblings about Trig Palin?

[...]

Whatever the case, these upcoming 400 page probably give new meaning to Sullivan's pathetic existence. Look at all the fresh material there will be for him to obsess over.

Maybe when he's done with that he can check up on who the ghostwriter for Barack Obama's books [was].

Sativa Sully is one of those nasty atheists who is not content to simply not believe in God, live and let live.  No, he's a pot-smoking amateur gynecologist who is driven to trash those who do. Since Sullivan is so fond of using the term "Christianist," it shouldn't bother him to be called a homosexualist, then, should it?

Say It Ain't So, Mo: A Woman Obsessed

Not much Sarah Palin news this Friday, as the former governor and her family enjoy a well-deserved vacation. Let's kill some time with a Maureen Dowd Pwnapalooza... 

Randy McRoberts noticed a recent Mean Maureen trend:

"Half of her last eight columns are about Palin."

If this keeps up, Dowd may have to have a face-off with Kathleen Parker for the "Obsessively Palin-Deranged" crown.

Regarding Dowd's recent anti-Palin diatribe in a guest shot with PMSNBC's Willie Geist, BrianinMO observed;

"Maureen Dowd is the classic Eastern Liberal, who has no idea what average Americans are like, or how they think. She spends her life belittling and making fun of the very values and people that have built, protected, and preserved this nation."

Politik Ditto was a bit harsher with the criticism of the NY Times columnist:

"The venomous, foul-mouth, childless, husbandless, plagiarist that is Maureen Dowd just can't let go of her hatred towards a conservative, successful woman with a family who represents everything she's personally against"

Christine Flowers, in a Philadelphia Daily News op-ed, remarked on Mo's viciousness, as Dowd is increasingly compelled to attack now former Gov. Palin:

"When Maureen Dowd starts typing these days (her own thoughts, we hope), you can almost hear the creaking of her arthritic joints. This chick is so jealous of Palin's youth and star power that her columns - once enjoyable in a a poisonous sort of way - have become tiresome, the journalistic equivalent of Tina Fey's one-note shtick."

Posting at The Houston Conservative, Will Malven comments:

"It never ceases to amaze me what passes for intellectual commentary from those on the Left. Maureen Dowd is the definitive harridan of hatred. Hers is the voice of a shrill harpy whose talent, like her "beauty," is long since spent...if it ever existed; pathetic, pitiable and sad to say, laughable."

But Allan Willingham wins the Alliteration Award hands down with this:

"Another tumultuous tirade by the Serpent Queen and her poison pen for the frenzied fanatical masses. Maureen Dowd once again admits angst and acrimony as she arches back to the ink wretched stain she becomes when against her chosen Nemesis, Sarah Palin."

Yeah, a mud wrestling death match between Mo Dowd and Katie Parker might be fun to watch, but only after one beer too many. And if only both of them lose.

The pwning of Peggy Noonan

We doubt that Peggy Noonan saw it coming. Her Wall Street Journal column published July 11 was just another of her many attacks on Gov. Sarah Palin. She's been cranking out the Sarah smears since John McCain named Palin as his running mate, passing over Mitt Romney, Noonan's favorite for the VP nomination. Noonan has been taking her grief and anger out on Gov. Palin for more than ten months now. But her latest venomous anti-Sarah rant provoked a number of bloggers to send the Vichy Republican a message.

GOP Nation fired back:

"It’s about time that those that claim to be Republicans stop throwing water into their own boats and concentrate on defeating the Democrats. Until then, we will remain in the wilderness."

At American Thinker, George Joyce wrote:

"Instead of recognizing that Palin might have been motivated to help save her beloved country from Obama's socialist revolution, Noonan drifts off into pop sociology."

In Hot Air's Green Room, Doctor Zero eviscerated poor Peggy:

"Hey, Peg, that 'admission of bankruptcy' you’re quivering about? That’s coming because your boy Obama crashed the economy, looted the treasury of the future to serve the ultimate pork dinner to his faithful allies, and appointed fools and frauds to supervise his programs. He’s trying to pass a ludicrous energy plan that will cost each American family thousands of dollars, and guarantee a recession for decades to come. If America doesn’t rally to stop him in 2010, he’ll bury what’s left of the moribund economy under the bloodless husk of a nationalized health-care industry. If McCain had won in 2008, then immediately resigned for health reasons and left Palin in the White House, would she have cost us less than a trillion dollars? If so, she’d be a bargain compared to the nightmare Peggy Noonan helped to unleash."

At Axis of Right, Sal, a Noonan fan until the onetime Reagan-Bush speechwriter went around the bend, offers the columnist some advice:

"This nasty column is unbecoming of Ms. Noonan, and cements in my mind that she is an elitist snob... Noonan is forgetting that Conservatism and democracy envisions that normal people run our government, not an elitist, governing class. To quote the late, great, William F. Buckley, Jr. (hardly a lightweight in the intellectual sphere), 'I would rather be governed by the first 2000 people in the Boston phone book than the entire faculty of Harvard.' Peggy would do well to learn this lesson, and realize that she is insulting the vast majority of hard-working Americans who see Palin as someone who can return the American form of government to 'government of the people, by the people, and for the people.'"

The Vichy Republican elites must be scared out of their minds right now. All the Peggy Noonans and Colin Powells who argued for a more moderate GOP presidential candidate got it in John McCain, yet they deserted their party anyway to support and vote for Barack Obama, who seems to be intent on breaking Jimmy Carter's misery index record before the first year of his administration is over. They screwed up big time, and they know it deep down inside. Of course, they will never admit that they were wrong. They'll just keep on taking it out on Sarah Palin. And the more they do that, the more the grassroots will circle around the woman that the elites hate so much.

Update: Stuart Schwartz joins in the pwning of poor Peggy.

O'Malley sort of gets it; Carlson doesn't

Gov. Sarah Palin accepted Creepy David Letterman's apology and moved on, but the story hasn't gone away. That's because people on both sides of the debate won't let it die. Unlike the governor, they're not quite ready to move on.

On one side there were the protesters who showed for the "Fire David Letterman" rally Monday in New York. Their numbers were not impressive - estimates have ranged anywhere from 50 to 100 people - so they didn't make up much of a "crowd." Some of the protesters had some valid points to make. Even Letterman's second apology came with excuses. He didn't know that he was demeaning the wrong daughter. His joke was "misunderstood." Yadda yadda. But Letterman and his ilk aren't going to be transformed overnight into responsible adult males who respect women and don't make them the target of their crude jokes. They simply won't be doing so on alphabet network television anytime soon. On cable outlets like HBO, human detritus such as Bill Maher will continue to do it. But Maher and his ilk are marginal. When they make news, many more people read about it than actually watch them on television. Sarah Palin understands this. That's why she accepted the apology for her daughter and young girls everywhere and returned to getting her message out on energy, fiscal responsibility, national security and other issues. She chooses her battles carefully, and she knows when to declare victory and move on. The protesters' time would have perhaps been better spent canvassing for donations to Gov. Palin;s legal defense fund.

With her victory over Creepy Dave , the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee has made fools of many of her serial detractors. A prime example is columnist Margaret Carlson, who doesn't care one whit about young girls being sexualized by misogynists on television or any other women's issues. If she did, she would have shown more self-respect than to pursue a man whose heart had clearly been won by another woman. Carlson has been one of Gov. Palin's harshest critics, and just a few short days ago, she declared on her Daily Beast blog, "Palin Can't Outsmart Letterman." Oh, but she did, Margaret. But don't fret about it, Ms Know-It-All. We will file that away with "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers," from IBM's fomer president in 1943 and "Aeroplanes are poorly suited for any combat role other than observation" by most of the nation's military brass early in the last century. Just like Letterman is a sexist and will always be, Carlson is a Palin-hater and will always be. But this week in history, both have discovered that Sarah Barracuda has sharp teeth, and she isn't afraid to use them.

One good thing to come out of the Letterman imbroglio is that at least some of Gov. Palin's critics have managed to muster up a degree of intellectual honesty. I'm speaking of the National Organization for Women, who finally stood up for some women other than just the liberal ones after years of showing outrage only when women on the left were unfairly attacked. As Julia O'Malley, columnist for the Anchorage Daily News, grudgingly admitted:

"Sure, some of us don’t like Palin’s politics, but we should pay attention to what else is going on. I laughed a little when I watched Letterman’s jokes. It wasn’t because they were funny. It was because they were mean. And somehow watching someone be mean to America’s Hottest Governor felt good. And, that wasn’t feminist at all."

"The fact is, even with the pumps and the winking, she didn’t deserve it. Maybe Palin is an opportunist, maybe she’s a drama queen, maybe she’s using a feminist argument to make political hay, but in this case her underlying point is right on. Letterman was gross and out of line, no matter which daughter he was talking about. Making Letterman apologize was a win for her and for women everywhere."

Well, it may be more like wading across the creek than crossing the Rubicon, but download that in your Microsoft Word and process it, Margaret Carlson. Ah, she's probably an Apple person, but I digress...

One last Letterman item, before we file the subject away for future reference. It comes courtesy of commenter TommyReport here. You don't need to call on Captain Obvious to see the implications there.
