Columnists aren't the nicest-looking people anyway, but it's truly disturbing to see a four-inch-high head of Ken Klukowsi early in the day, baring its fangs.Įven more disturbing is the waxen image of Cal Thomas that the Examiner runs he seems to have been subsisting for some years on babies' blood and the wax of devotional candles his pallor and drooping jowls suggest this diet is insufficient, and mostly serves to sustain the vitality of his lush, black Reagan haircut. I think they might be a little loonier, though my assessment may be negatively affected by the unusually large headshots that run with the columns. The opinion pages are up there with the Post's, too. (Today's 'Yeas and Nays,' the Examiner's social/local page, is topped by a quote by Rush Limbaugh.) Their tendentious headlines I'd already noticed, but having fed a long while on the New York Post, I'm pretty well used to a news side heavily infiltrated by opinion. That it is I'd come across their stuff before in web searches, but it is something to get the physical paper and see so much mendacity neatly parceled up, like crisp new butcher paper tightly encasing a cluster of turds. A few readers have encouraged me, now that I am the DC area, to pick up the Washington Examiner at the Metro in the mornings, promising a daily bounty of wingnuttery.

I supposed that's just my Christian upbringing, which I understand is now referred to as socialism.įinally, the punchline: He had a lot of Democratic friends - remember how little acrimony he showed with Lieberman in the 2000 debate.Now, really, how can you top that?įRESH BLOOD. I'm generally more impressed by how someone relates to poor folks. he retains a natural comfort with the middle classes that comes from his own upbringing in Wyoming.Though its association here with the monstrous Cheney adds some piquancy, the general notion that someone should be applauded for 'comfort with the middle classes' is depressingly common. though National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair has since said “high value” information came out of it - and by now we have forgotten the sense of impending attack and mayhem that followed after 9/11.It was the 00's, man - everyone was doing anti-terror, and experimenting with torture.įrom Hanson's list of Cheney's admirable qualities, this is my favorite. First, relating to Cheney's advocacy of waterboarding: I opposed those techniques, but we still do not have the complete record of the information that came from KSM et al. I have not read that book, and thus have no opinion of it, but I can still enjoy the wonderful bits in Hanson's defense.
