So what are you teaching him, anyway? Is it sinking in?

Got here late, and went to look at the Douthat article. You fail to mention there's a little bit at the top that says "I phoned this in early and I'm damned if I'm going to change anything just because yesterday's speech made this all irrelevant". Also, even the medievalism is lazy. Where is Duns Scotus? Where is Eriugena? Must try harder. "There does not seem to be a similarly high-larious name for dudes that date the lady athletes because we do not know why." May I suggest HATs? (Husbands and toyboys.)

She has already written one ("Going Rogue"), but it ends with the 2008 election. So that's Volume I.

"Am I The Idiot?" will be Volume II.

Followed by the started, but never finished, Volumes III ("Do I Even Need To Ask?") and IV ("Don't Answer That").

Mainly because they can't come up with a catchy/cutsie acronym for "usually stuffs a tube sock down his pants".

I liked the Cathy Lanier piece. Not catty or Dowd-like at all. I have no comment on her appearance or personal life, however.
