Jonah Goldberg -- This fat twerp has a always bugged me, but his entry at National Review this morning is particularly galling. Staring down the barrel of a Bush defeat, the GOP shill is telling his readers not to worry about Bush's terrible policies, the thousands he's killed, the millions he's displaced, the trillions of dollars he's squandered, the havoc he's caused...nope, we need to vote for Bush because it will stop Michael Moore and Al Franken from gloating on teevee. Jesus, these people are the shallowest, most empty-headed assholes I've ever seen.
Party before country, our children be damned!---
FOR THE NOSE-HOLDERS by Jonah Goldberg
I have a lot of friends who are holding their noses when they vote for Bush. I have sympathy for their views, I really do. Much of what Bush has done -- and hasn't -- bugs me too. But I ask you folks to look at it from a slightly different perspective. If thinking in terms of who the better candidate is doesn't work for you, think of it in terms of which candidate's victory will cause the most happiness among the worst people. If Kerry wins some truly horrible people will be happy. Some perfectly fine and decent folks will be happy too, of course. But if Bush wins, Michael Moore won't be on the Today Show the next day cheering and hugging his friends. Katie Couric will wear black. Alec Baldwin won't give interviews. P Diddy will go away. Susan Sarandon will mope. Al Franken still won't be funny, but it will be easier to laugh at him. Jon Stewart will go back to comedy. Terry McAuliffe will go down in history as the most disastrous DNC Chair in modern history.
But if Bush loses, all of these people will be gloating and skipping with joy.
Vote your fears people.
