“Laaaadies”

On Wednesday, National Review Senior Editor Jay Nordlinger and others who went into histrionics over the notion of a few celebrities saying nice things about public service and the President.

Well, we cannot have that. The nerve!

Greenwald gives chapter and verse over the hypocrisy of this notion. To his credit Nordlinger sort of backed down in light of the evidence. However, this statement of Nordlinger, as Glenn noted, really stood out:

Greenwald spends some time on two figures in particular: Angela Williamson and Monica Goodling, appointees at the Justice Department. I regret to say that I had never heard of either of them, or their doings. It’s not that my memory is “either very short or very selective.” It could be that I’m not always a very attentive reader of the newspapers.

Um, yeah. Rush Limbaugh only.

And did you learn your lesson? Why, of course not.

Another pet theme, or pet peeve, of mine has to do with “safe zones” — my recent term for zones free of partisan politics. (These might include concerts, church, city tours . . .). A reader wrote me to say that he was sick of the intrusion of politics into the sports pages — hear, hear. Been singing this song forever. Those politics always — always — come from the left.

I guess Jay picked the wrong day not to listen to Rush Limbaugh:

CBS golf analyst David Feherty: "[I]f you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it … there’s a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death."

Yeah, always — always — come from the left alright.

Jay Nordlinger, just uninformed enough about politics to be a senior editor at a conservative political magazine.
