Look, Matty, Have You Ever Heard of Vietnam?


Now that [Health Care is] done, Barack Obama will go down in history as one of America’s finest presidents. It’s always possible of course that, like LBJ, he’ll get involved in some unrelated fiasco that mars his reputation.

-Yglesias giving some tongue action
I am going to enjoy this. Jesus Christ, Yggie must keep his brain in some kind of Schrödinger's Box to be this goddamn unselfaware.

Heh.

It's like members of the Randian club in high school, only with less overt sociopathy.

They impose their hologram of what-should-be on the world, and then spend the rest of their days arguing that the actual data confirms the thesis it negates.

Do the Iraqis have universal healthcare? There's still a lot of work to be done, America's Finest President!

Matty better come up for air soon or else he's gonna choke.

having witnessed his leadership on healthcare, i bet teachers are heartened that K-12 education may be next in his sights.

Even I don't understand the dead cat, the math is how it really works.

Yglesias is turning into Jonah Goldberg. Sad to see as under it all he's a bright kid, but power at several removes is turning his brain to mulch.

As per usual, if you think MattY is bad, then check out Chait's literary falacio.

"Fellatio", you mean. "Falacio" is some Italian recipe from a Foodie Friday.

Actually for my dollar Balloon Juice is the worst. The dude who runs it was a full on Rethug who saw the error of his ways, swapped out pwog positions for Bushitler ones and is otherwise functionally exactly the same. Like a sub-Mongoloid Andrew Sullivan, that guy.

Yeah, just like in 2003, John Cole is still raging against the leftist hippies for not appreciating just how awesome the President is. Plus ca change, brotherfuckers.

What Yglesias means, I think, is "some unrelated fiasco [about which people actually give a shit]."

Enron said...

"One of America’s finest presidents." What the fuck is he talking about?

Mr.Fundamental said...

so. . .Yglaysius got what he wanted. and this is it.

how boring.

did anyone do anything fun over the weekend?

Is this Matt's homework? Nah, fuck that. Did he even fucking do any homework? My Jeebus, these little Pwoggies need to go do a fucking rain dance and work off that post-coital tension.

Pretty much. Though that 'sub-Mongoloid Andrew Sullivan' comparison is unfair to somebody -- it's just hard to figure out whether it's Cole, darling Andy, or sub-mongoloids..

Yep, can't wait for NCLB Part II.

I had exactly the same thought when I read that (and left a comment to commemorate the event).

"One of America’s finest presidents."

is it possible to be damned with fainter praise?

The Chinaman is not the issue here.

BJ is bad, but at least Cole openly admits that he's not super smart and is prone to blind following. Yglesias et al think they're the next fucking *insert whichever famous philosopher you guys like* here.

I don't get it. These guys spent a year bitching about no public option, the complaining about abortion blah balh and now they're all licking anus cause a bill they mostly didn't like much got passed, almost.... ?????

Oh, right, people are retarded. I get it now.
