Jesus Christ, never show me anything like that again. I'm going to have to use Brillo on my eyes.

I can't believe this guy has a column in the Atlantic, a magazine that used to mean something. He might be funny, but he still gets it wrong and doesn't care that he gets it wrong, like all of his neanderthal ilk. Kerry was (and is) a decent public servant, and all of the character assassination of rightwing scumbags may tarnish his image but it doesn't actually change the truth.
For those who forget, O'Rourke is the nitwit who told us Lech Walesa no longer mattered in Poland just before he was elected president there. His record may be funny to read, but he still stands for the reactionary, the powerful and the hatefully religious.

Beck is disappointingly trying to have it both ways. He wants to appear as if he's playing devil's advocate, when clearly he's just another demon. Why not own it? Does he think he's going to suddenly appear rational? I guess the question is, who's worse - some rabid freak like Coulter or Limbaugh who never turns it off, or someone who says the same hateful shit they do but wants to act like they're asking rhetorical questions when they're called on it by an adult?
