1 Fist!

2 As much as I enjoy watching Randy Andy get his ass chewed out, I find myself disturbed that someone like Krauthammer mucks up his typewriter writing about the Demented One.

3 This Andy guy seems like an idiot.

4 There was an apology.  Safe link to NRO.

5 Check out the WaPo comment board for the article.  You have to go to the zoo to see that many monkeys throwing their feces around.

6 Well, even the good Dr. K. deserves to vent his spleen once in a while. Even if the target is such a creature as Sullivan. Sullivan is the letters equivalent of the town weakling: everyone can kick his ass, so it's no great mark of honor if one of the strongest guys in town does it.

7 Many of the commenters on Krauthammer's column over at the WaPo are offended by K's "smarmy" attacks on Sullivan.  Seems like at least some morons still love ol' "Milky Loads" with his "Power Glutes".   Didn't know that Andy had got around that much.

8 Watching the Hammer drop where it's richly deserved is a beautiful thing to behold. The eloquence, the wit, twisting of the knife without the victim even knowing it was inserted...

9 The meds are no longer working for Sullivan!  Soon, the dogs will have to learn to type for him, which may improve the columns immensely.  Until then, let's just enjoy his shenanigans and relish Krauthammer's take-down with the joy of the Season.

10 2 and 3 said it for me.

11 Dr. Krauthammer: Monty, did you see that beat-down I just gave Sullivan? Man, that felt good!
Monty: Well...yeah. It was pretty sweet. But, dude. It's not like he's a challenge, you know? My grandmother could kick his ass. My overweight Aunt Penny could kick his ass, and she has to use a Rascal to get around the local Wal Mart.
Dr. K.: Well, sure, but...he insulted me!
Monty: That's what Sullivan does. Like it's a can-opener's job to open cans. He's one short step away from standing in Times Square, wearing a sandwich board and shouting "Woe!" to the passers-by.
Dr. K.: I get what you're saying.
Monty: Save your ammo for the bigger game, Dr. K. This little pismire isn't worth the stink off your shit.

12 Wait, Sulli wrote about something other Sarah Palin's naughty bits? 

13

The meds are no longer working for Sullivan! 

AIDS dementia is probably not a pretty thing.

14 The comments there [K's column] are a continuing source of amusement. Apparently Sullivan's words, no matter how ridiculously fatuous and wrong in fact, only contain what "everyone knows to be true" - That K is obstructionist and hates Obama because he is askeered of him . ...So everything Sully wrote is true and by the way he's corrected so it's like it never happened and K is a bad person, also a jew.

15

Er, Andi, don't F k with a Jesuit priest. 

Sully, even one in a wheel chair can kick your ass.

16 Slagging Sulli is like making love to your cousin.  Sure it may be fun, but in your heart you know it's wrong.

17

Can someone, anyone, please tell me why we should even care what friggin Andy says.

1. Some assholes in the media still make him out to be a conservative.

2. The Atlantic publishes his crap and Drudge links to him. They should both be ashamed for enabling him. I have and continue to advocate for high levels of snark directed at them.

18 Fist!

Now that's funny.

19

Sulli, you're a douchebag fraud.

20 When Sully said he wanted to get reamed in the ass, I'm not sure this is what he had in mind.

Can you see me, suckers?

Better than a ghillie suit in urban combat situations, methinks.  Sniper, spy, guy who didn't do his homework and doesn't want to be called-upon, what have you. 

22

The comments on K's column are hilarious.  He lit a bunch of chimps on fire that work in a factory filling bags with excrement.

 

Pretty messy.  He hit his mark.

23 Although I like the take down of Sullivan I am no fan of the Krautman. He is the quintisential neocon. Hawkish on war and liberal on nearly everything else.

He openly brags about his support for increasing taxes on gasoline in this article.

24 Sullivan's entire ad hominem conclusion -- that my views are animated by nothing but the basest, most corrupt partisan motives -- turned out to be a complete invention based on his inability to read dates. It's not just dates Andrew doesn't read, it's content too: Andrew Sullivan trashes the Washington Post for omitting something from its KSM story... ... that the Washington Post included in the story. How could he make such a mistake? He relied on an Althouse blog commenter! LOL. http://tinyurl.com/nx37jn

25 Um.  Mr. Malor?  Aren't you forgetting something?

26 Ah, haha.  I don't see how it could get "better" after that first part.
Awesome.
Also, Rush, in speaking of Michael Moore, just said "his dumbass movie."
It's a good day.

27 Gabe, (and Chuckie too), the Ewok's not gonna like this.

28 I think, perhaps, I detected a bit of anti-semitism in the comments on CK's post.  Maybe, can't be sure.

29 Charles is awesome, and the fact that this Sullivan guy is a wimpy criminal with no character doesn't make Krauthammer's rebuttal to his ridiculous article unfair or any less spectacular.

30 Yet only Sully could get a pole planted in his ass and come out of the situation with a smile on his face.

31

Although I like the take down of Sullivan I am no fan of the Krautman. He is the quintisential neocon. Hawkish on war and liberal on nearly everything else.

Krautman may not have wised up enough, but I think we are *all* neocons in one way or another. We all start out infantile and naive and stupid (i.e., leftist), then we wise up.

32 Sullivan needs a psychiatrist. Krauthammer fits the bill.

33 Here's a comment from a Sullivan Supporter:

Chuckles, we all know that your views are animated by Likud. You should be grateful that Andrew Sullivan considers you to be an independent human instead of the Likud puppet you actually re.

34 29 I think, perhaps, I detected a bit of anti-semitism in the comments on CK's post.  Maybe, can't be sure.

Posted by: huerfano at December 01, 2009 12:20 PM (vtuZz)

Yeah.  Tolerant.  Accepting.  I liked the one about "not a real human being, but a Likud puppet."  Though the "Schecky Schlomo Krauhammer" comment was also interesting.

They also seem a bit upset about perceived partisan cheering for failure.  Just completely immune to irony.

35 And Another:

Charles Krauthammer's birth name is Shecky Schlomo Krauheimer. Shecky is at the top of the list at the American Enterprise Institute. It is a Neo-Con organization that promotes War against Iran at all costs. It would help Israel expand and that is what Shecky, Bill Kristol, Podhoretz, Kagan, Bernie and Jonah Goldberg Frum and all of the miserable War-Mongers at the Weekly Standard, and Heritage Foundation promote.

36 It's a trap. Andy wants the reaming. IYKWIM

37 When you're getting kicked up and down the street by a guy in a wheelchair, it's time to retire.

38 Andy hasn't been pounded this hard since Ultra-BDSM Leather Bear Biker Night at the Fistorama Bathhouse

"We are going to have both." 

Obama' innovation, don't you know.

40 I really enjoy all the anti-Semitic comments in the WaPo site.  Says a lot about their readership..

41 Talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight... and in an odd way, it's cool to see a guy in a wheelchair utterly destroy somebody with muscle glutes.... just sayin'

42 Wonder if Lord Johnson considers WaPo.com a "hate site"?

43 If no one ever mentioned Andi or LGF again on this blog...
I don't see a downside.

44 Let us never speak of him again.

45 Agreed. No more mention.

Some farts should be allowed to dissipate without comment. Just open a window and let them blow away.

46 There was an apology. Safe link to NRO.
Posted by: HeatherRadish at December 01, 2009 11:53 AM (NtiET)

Milky Loads can't even apologize without lying. Evidently, he both misread the date AND didn't check the date of Krauthammer's column.

And it's a most embarrassing one. I completely misread the date on one of Charles Krauthammer's columns on climate change and he rightly excoriates me for the error. I'm not sure how it happened, but I assumed, I think, that a piece sent to me in response to the climategate issue was current and didn't check the date.

47

Don't understand why Andrew Sullivan is so bent out of shape with Krathammer. Sullivan hates Sarah Palin because she bagged Todd.

Somehow I think Todd enjoys "going rogue" with Sarah far more than he ever would with Sullivan.

48
In Andrews Sullivan's defense he read the date while bent over a kitchen table getting slammed by his boyfriend.

That is sooo unprecedented.

50 Does anyone still have any doubts that these people are commies?

FU52.

51 I don't always read political bitch slaps, but when I do I read The Hammer. 

52 I don't know why anyone considers Walter Mondale's former speech writer  Charles Krauthammer a conservative.   He supports abortion on demand, gay marriage and blames the holocaust on Christianity.  Hard to believe. 

53 Do not fuck with Krauthammer.

54 Why not?  

55 Why not?

Haven't you been reading the thread?

56 He relied on (a) .....blog commenter! LOL.

Sorta like Rush Limbaugh.

57 44 - If no one ever mentioned Andi or LGF again on this blog...I don't see a downside.

Ditto on that Charlie Gibson dead horse.

58

The comments at the Wapo are hilarious.  Apparently Krauthammer is not just a Jew, he's a mean Jew.

On the gas tax thing, it's really easy to conflate higher gas taxes and higher gas taxes that are offset by lower taxes elsewhere, a zero sum gas tax.  The former is statist, usually proposed by Dems, and usually tagged by Dems as Republican ideas.  The latter is an attempt to apply externality costs, polution, to the source of the externality, gasoline.  The execution is everything here but the intent seems solid to me:  overall tax revenues stay the same but we tax less things with positive externalities (buying that software via a download vs a CD in the mail) and tax more those with negative externalities, like cigarettes (the argument here is generally all about externalities:  smokers get lung cancer and stick the state with their medical bills so higher taxes are needed to offset these costs......never mind that smokers die earlier and don't collect social security).

Same thing on Medicare cuts.  Republicans propose Medicare and/or Medicaid cuts to make these programs sustainable in the long term.  Democrats propose these same cuts to pay for new entitlements.  And then Dems say Medicare cuts are Republican ideas.  Cause they're evil and you'd have to be evil to WANT to cut Medicare.  It's amazing the Kindergarden level thinking that passes for argument coming from the Dems.

59

Seriously, this could be a medical issue. I think this guy should be pitied and kind of just ignored for his own good.

60 Since when has Sullivan be interested in facts?

61

53 - Good points. Krathammer is a neocon, not a conservative. There's a major difference.

54 - "Do not fuck with Krauthammer." Krathammer's statement about Sarah Palin leaving the room on the healthcare debate was one of the dumbest of the year. As the immortal Joe Biden would say, "With three words - Death Panels - Palin had a greater effect on the healthcare debate than dozens of columns written by Krathammer."

The fact that "Going Rogue" just when platinum has to be driving Krathammer and the other Beltway Elites crazy.

62

@24 - Thank you Vic. His treatment of Sarah also left something to be desired.

@32 - Krautman may not have wised up enough, but I think we are *all* neocons in one way or another. We all start out infantile and naive and stupid (i.e., leftist), then we wise up.

There's an old saying; If you're not a liberal at 20, you got no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 40, you got no brains.

63 The lefty playbook needs to be updated.  Loved this comment, seems like some moonbat found a thesaurus and was able to translate "Fake but accurate" into a blog comment.

"Nevertheless, Mr. Krauthammer, Mr. Sullivan is correct in that you're only interested in blind obstructionism, as blind as your hatred for Mr. Obama."

Nevertheless you showed facts that Andrew was wrong about you being a blind obstructionist, but you still are, because well Andrew said so.  Liberal education at its finest.

64

Even if Andy had not completely screwed up the basic facts here, what breathless conclusion does he arrive at?

the conservative intelligentsia is much more invested in obstructing and thereby neutering Obama and the Democrats than in solving any actual problems in front of us.

Get outta here! That sounds like the standard job description of the party out of power. I didn't see much problem solving by the Dems while the Pubbies were in power. (And I haven't seen much problem solving from the Dems since the Dems have been in power, for that matter.)

65

Although I like the take down of Sullivan I am no fan of the Krautman. He is the quintisential neocon. Hawkish on war and liberal on nearly everything else.

Yes, its a bit bemusing that NRO repeats his every word on TV for our edification, as if he's the new WF Buckley.

66 He couldn't check the date; he was too distracted looking for the real vagina.

67 Ouch!  That reaming actually hurt.

68 Krauthammer can be a badass when he wants to. With a name like "Krauthammer", are you really surprised?

69 I have to disagree with Monty on this one.  In today's economy, your name is the brand.  In five more years, the WaPo might be nothing more than an online hangout, with no print edition.  Meanwhile the columnists, pundits, ur-bloggers, etc, will all be known by name.

In a sense, it's like a copyright or patent: you have to defend it, at least some of the time, to keep it.  In this case, you need to defend your name, at least some of the time, for your sponsors and customers to take you seriously. It would be nice if it were not the case, but wishful thinking doesn't pay the bills.

The thin-skinned appear to be losers, and one always should avoid providing advertising for an opponent.  However, even Rush (who is one of the best at managing his brand) decides to mention Olbermann once in a while.  It's a marketing necessity.

70 Sullivan issues a correction and apology? Didn't see that one coming.

71 This is the first time I've seen a wheelchair bound parapalegic rhetorically ass-rape a milky-loads encrusted dickbag.  Who knew?

72 While I'm at it, I think the "Krauthammer is a liberal" claim is bizarre.  Sure, he's got a serious problem because of his Palin-bashing.  So do many in-the-trenches (and otherwise admired) conservatives.  I strongly disagree with them, and in the case of the Powerline guys, I've even quit wasting my time with their work.

But the fastest way to irrelevance is the freerepublic route.  That sort of "issue purity" crap gave us John McCain on a silver platter. It's also why those of us who are not uppercase-C "Conservatives" occasionally feel like we are caucusing with self-defeating losers.  Occasionally.

Oddly enough, it's also why I think Palin is the one candidate the purity goons and the mainstream, non-leftist population can both be happy with.  She's confidently non-leftist, and also happens to embody the Conservative ideals of most purists without being obnoxious about it.

As for the beltway elites, who cares about them? Not enough of them to matter, for one, and those same types were behind Bush Senior when Reagan was championing what Bush called "voodoo economics." Of course, they all sing a different tune now.

When it comes to their anti-Palin, elitist bullshit, screw them, and if Krauthammer is with them, then screw him, too.  But he isn't "Liberal," and he's worth listening to, even when he is wrong.  Just like Rudy, Romney, and even Sir Pawlenty The Bland.

73 Just like Rudy, Romney, and even Sir Pawlenty The Bland.

Yes they are like K-man, they are all liberal RINOs.

BTW, you left out Hucktard the pardoning fool.

74 "Yes they are like K-man, they are all liberal RINOs.

BTW, you left out Hucktard the pardoning fool."

I left out Huck because he isn't worth listening to.

As for RINO, you have to be a Republican to be a RINO.  I'm an independent, and not a Conservative. I caucus with Conservatives because the left needs to be defeated.

The folks I mentioned, like me, are not Liberals.  That much is obvious to any non-leftist.  Huck is an anomaly.  He isn't a Liberal, but he's not much of a Conservative, either.

As far as I can tell, the Republican party is not in it to win it, so I wouldn't bother joining or contributing to the RNC anyway.  I do send money to individual Republicans that deserve it.  Sometimes a Libertarian, if he's not too "Ron Paul"-ish.

75 Too bad Krauthammer likes the idea of raising taxes on a critical national commodity like gasoline so much though.

76 Krauthammer is atypically billiant in so many ways, but a couple of recent comments he's made about climatology not being "junk science" have left me shivering in a closet and sucking my thumb.

77 "I was wrong in inferring any shift of Krauthammer's position under Obama; and I apologize to Krauthammer and my readers for both the mistake and the unfair inference."   Power glutes/The Atlantic has readers? I think I just soiled myself with laughter. If either had readers, they are probably coming in search of entertainment because of the embarrassing spectacle that Andrew has become.   Watching Andrew flail about trying to grasp at unattainable relevance is entertaining; but sad, if not bordering on pathetic. It kind of reminds me of Keef Oberwoman trying to match wits with anything sharper than, say ... a rock.   Clearly, The Atlantic has zero journalistic integrity or they would never allow a lunatic like Andrew a forum.   Perhaps Andrew should stay in Keef's league and never try to out wit anything/anybody with an IQ higher than a common vegetable. Watching him get sliced and diced with an intellect he will never attain himself was enough to make me a fan of Charles. Then again, I've always enjoyed reading Charles's articles.
