Poor sad little Rich. Today he echoes the conservative lament that the GOP just “doesn’t have our A Team on the field.” “A” apparently stands for Anonymous, because he has trouble even imagining who that might be.

Times change, the approach skews a bit, but at its vestigial-heart National Review remains the go-to source for the same ol’ racist claptrap.

You just knew after the historic events in New York on Friday night that there would be some truly deliciously unhinged wingnuttery coming from William F. Buckley’s old place. After all, under Buckley, the National Review was objectively pro-Jim Crow in the ’50s and ’60s.

Those sensitive, shrinking violets on the right took a day off from their racist dog whistles and comparing Barack Obama to murderous tyrants to whine about their hurt fee-fees.

Rich “Starbursts” Lowry haz a big sad over the GOP’s shitty 2012 candidates.

Truly, a mini-masterpiece of wingnuttery.

In case you missed it, the New York Times reported on some newly released recordings of Richard Nixon doing an excellent impression of Archie Bunker.

Over at Salon, Alex Pareene has compiled a compelling and entertaining list of the top 30 media hacks of our time, and he has been doling them out on a daily basis with the top ten due to drop on Wednesday (maybe now while you are reading this! Exciting!) Who will be the next deserving hack?

Something I find consistently baffling about neocon pundits is their unfailing support of policies that have objectively failed. Here’s former Bush speechwriter Jay Nordlinger, explaining why Israel was better off with W. in the White House.

The man who was the Bush administration’s viceroy in Iraq, the guy who was handpicked to wield complete dictatorial control over one of the largest Muslim countries in the world after the United States bombed, invaded and conquered it, the man who then promptly made a shit-the-bed mess of things — turns out to be a Tom Buchnanesque asshole who frets publicly about the Great Brown Hordes irrevocably staining the lily-white tapestry of Europe.
