The Corner is mocking a group of liberal bloggers and journalists writing on a list (allegedly) about how smart they are because I think my head just fucking exploded sorry I got some in your coffee.

So a bunch of gaudily enameled cast iron cookware from France is looking at a kettle and laughing because the kettle wants all to know what beautiful enamel it has, all the while extoling the virtues of belonging to the LeCruset country club.
Right.
Yeah, those liberal bloggers all talk to each other, and then they write about the same thing! It’s a conspiracy!
Not only that, but I read baseball blogs, and they’re all talking about spring training! Another conspiracy!

OMFG they are talking in code! They are <strike>communists</strike> islamofacist terrorists!
I imagine the conversation between Kaus and the leaker went something like this:
Kaus: Can you send me everything from the secret journalism cabal?
Leaker: it’s just the same shit they write about in public.
Kaus: Pleeeeease please please!
Leaker: whatever.
Kaus: OMG DO NOT GO THERE ABOUT MARTY!!!!
Leaker: have you actually ever read a blog?
Kaus: I’m totally like Sy Hersh to this liberal-bloggers-shit-talking-Marty-Peretz My Lai. I’m so awesome!
What an entitled piece of crap. Wingnut Welfare recipient believes he’s earned his position.
Doughy Pantload, your book sucks. Plain and simple. There’s no amount of unbunching or ironing of panties that will change that fact.
AND IF YOUR READIN THIS JOHN DERBYSHIRE I"M NOT A BIG FAN OF YOU NEITHER
We will angrily post about how you are posting about our postings!
Post Modernism, eat your heart out.
Post-post-hoc. Post-post-haste.
Read Jonah’s first paragraph. Then read the second paragraph. Then read the first paragraph again.
Jonah Goldberg actually wrote that paragraph, and then immediately after that, accused someone of being unable to think or talk straight.
I mean just, wow. Do they give out awards for that sort of thing?
Yeah, but those awards have a prerequisite of removing oneself from the gene pool.
Thank you for pointing out how silly it is to mock wingnuts, Norb. For shame, Jesse! You could have wrote something useful like Super-Norbiz, and used a Simpsons quote to illustrate a news story. Instead you wrote about what amuses you! Shame shame shame shame shame…
I thought about sending this to Jonah, but it’s best said here: To think and to write straight about Jonah Goldberg is to say, “Jonah Goldberg has no talent as a writer or a thinker. Time spent thinking about his writing is wasted.”
Life is too short to give Jonah Goldberg the attention he deserves, which is no fucking attention whatsoever.
“Bonus: Matt Yglesias still has his panties in a bunch about me to the point where he still can’t think, or talk, straight about me or my book. Just too funny.”
...but Jonah, what exactly is there to say about you that can in any reasonable way be considered “straight”?
Yglesias sees you like many of us do: A creature of the Wingnut Welfare system whose every thought, every purpose, and every action is aimed at keeping your lips firmly attached to the Wingnut Welfare teat. Don’t get mad at us if we see your ridiculous writing and “thought” for what they really are.
The only thing funny about it is your utter lack of self awareness…which, come to think of it, is really more pathetic than funny…
