defense. The more he is misunderstood the funnier it all
gets; especially for Harry.

So many KOS and other political folk ought to loosen up
there tight as*es. It’s more than a little sweet that so
many of the proles wish to believe that they are
humanities bridge to a better future for one and all. It
would be so wonderful to think so. Especially since it
flies in the face of 5000 f*cking years of history.

Shite…I’m wandering now…must be the chronic.
Oh well….as I was saying, some folks in the
political blogger world are wound way too tight.
Call it the “fog of war”, battle fatigue, whatever!
All this fighting and carrying on with a bunch of
ignorant assholes has an accompanying price. Call it
what you will.

The Harry’s of the world should remind us to
f*cking chill and smell the roses more than just
once in a while. Why? Because one day when we are
all on our deathbeds and everything is still the same
(only the names have changed) we’ll be wishing we
were having a good shag instead of politically
engaging a bunch of sh*t-for-brain c*cksuck*rs.

You said:

“Jesus! Wolcott overshot icky urbanity and landed on smarmy-and-subversive [I can’t remember ever using the term sexist.]???”

Hahaha! There it is. Feel free to use the term sexist in the contest of Wolcott. He is a text-book example of “the sexist.” The night he posted that, on that same page were other posts in which he upbraided two other women for other offenses and managed to reference sex in both cases, which made three including the one linked to here.

He upbraided men too, on the same page (upbraiding is James’s strong suit) and managed to keep the subject of sex completely out of those discussions.

Wolcott almost cannot discuss any woman without resorting to sexist stereotypical nonsense.

I used to think he was so very clever when I only read him once a month or so in Vanity Fair. A daily dose of him is way too much.

In the English style he riffs like Colbert, although he is even better at making you think he really is a twit cum curmudgeon.

Very, very nice. If you like monks, they’ve got those; and if you are into giant bronze statues of Buddha, they’ve got those too. They seem to have thought of everything. Hats off to all concerned.”</p> By now it should be obvious to all that Harry is a comedic master.

Laugh out loud funny. Every word. Well, every other word. How about one in five then? Well, whatever.
