Kinsley very handsomely eviscerates the MSNBC-hack authors of <i>Double Down.</i>
<blockquote>There is actually no vomit in the scene the authors describe as &ldquo;vomitous.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s just their way of writing vividly. They&rsquo;re not snobs. They actually have a weakness for colorful vernacular, with a special fondness for a particular bodily function. And it&rsquo;s not the usual one. The many references to excrement &mdash; people serving it to one another on a bun, people burying one another in it and so on &mdash; are . . . are . . . help me, I need a word here. Well, they&rsquo;re vomitous. This may be the first political book ever with more excrement than sex. </blockquote>
Worse yet: they have to read them aloud to her, with punctuation: &quot;Comma fault!&quot; she calls out. &quot;Run-on sentence!&quot; &quot;Split infinitive!&quot;
It is nice to see someone who has actually read &quot;Double Down&quot; criticizing it, instead of the usual &quot;I hear it&#039;s crap&quot; or &quot;I didn&#039;t like the first book, so fuck these guys&quot; stuff that&#039;s been thrown around for the last few weeks.
re: Betsy I do believe the beltway punditry has reached the critical mass of navel gazing, creating an infinite regression. If you stare deeply into it long enough you can see all the way back to the big bang, which is actually God&#039;s outie
Gene Weingarten is hilariously deadly: &ldquo;I would have said that in my opinion, Fishbowl DC was a parody of a scurrilous, irresponsible, lazy, slipshod gratuitously nasty gossip magazine&mdash;even though they themselves don&#039;t know they are a parody.&quot;
Call me old fashioned, but I can find considerable redeeming value in pieces such as &quot;...four posts about the size of an unknown Washington Post video host&rsquo;s breasts&quot; and &quot;...an &#039;investigation&#039; of why &#039;Females on Campaign Trail Go For Sexpot Look&#039;...&rdquo;
Betsy Rothstein, however, is just a pathetic sorry-ass bitch.
On the bright side, it&#039;s also nice to see that few people are reading the damned thing.
Well, yeah...

I will buy Gene a beer, if I ever meet him.
