If you’re like me, and I know I am, when you hear the term “Journo-List Scandal,” you yawn like someone’s just got tequila in your Nyquil, or Nyquil in your tequila. But this intensely tedious kerfuffle has nevertheless given Our Right Wing Friends yet another excuse for squawking and preening and fondling themselves about how Exquisitely Horribly they are Oppressed. Which separates this particular episode from, well, nothing whatsoever. Specimens such as, say, Dennis Prager (Dennis the Pissant, ha ha ho) watch the sun go down and contemplate 4,000-word monologues about how Al Gore is Stalinistically plotting to cover the Earth in Satanic Darkness. It’s their gig, you know, for which they get pretty well paid, also.

Perhaps the most telling of the recent revelations of the liberal/left Journolist, a list consisting of about 400 major liberal/left journalists, is the depth of their hatred of conservatives….

Every one of us on the right has seen this hatred. I am not referring to leftist bloggers or to anonymous extreme comments by angry leftists on conservative blogs — such things exist on the right as well — but to mainstream elite liberal journalists. There is simply nothing analogous among elite conservative journalists.

I don’t believe it! This is absurd!

There are “elite conservative journalists”…?

Perhaps this notional class of creature includes Ann Coulter, who is given lots and lots of real estate over at Townhall, where I discovered Prager’s yammering? Or Townhall regular Jonah Goldberg, of Liberal Fascism: I Flick My Boogers at FDR repute? Or Townhall favorite Rush Limbaugh, Prager’s current presumptive candidate for unfairly-maligned Conservative Hero? (Enjoy that clip!) Or, well, our buddy Dennis Prager, shown here making a spectacle of himself, discussed here offering completely nutty marital advice, and in this very column, where Prager says that the Left is a gang of sissies for opposing stupid foreign wars?

Pretending they’re oppressed is about all they have. But I don’t hate them! I wanna give them all a great big kiss, with tongues.
