NRO's The Corner 2: Ghost Protocol

douthat's original essay on is a slick and perfectly repellent example of mentor porn between the "boat boy" and skinny-dipping the aura of (barely) repressed homosexuality hangs rather heavily in the air

“He didn’t know quite as much about sailing as I’d like,” Buckley confided to us a moment later, as his first mate scrambled to fix a rope near the bow. “But he does as he’s told well enough, and he has other duties....

i kinda wonder if WFB was the 'prominent conservative thinker' named by greil marcus in this anecdote: http://nickminichino.tumblr.com/post/23298676039/gm-for-the-paperback-edition-of-double-trouble-i

a golden moment:

There was an hour or so that we spent sprawled on the lawn near the ocean, while bees droned in the gardens nearby, and then we ate lunch on the wraparound porch, with a portly priest whom Buckley called Padre, while Pat smoked beneath a vast black sun hat and talked about seeing The Producers, and about dinner with the Kissingers and the Limbaughs at Le Cirque.

'the kissingers and the limbaughs' sounds like the best tv movie ever.

henry kissinger + rush limbaugh odd couple style sitcom

the severely flawed couple

"It's schnaztelpfeffer, Rush."

"NOW IT'S COMMUNIST GARBAGE."

Exeunt.

Jonah is mad..

Every now and then I watch the actual broadcast-news shows, just to see what they’re up to.

How does he fit it into his busy schedule of doing nothing?

he also drives his daughter to school!

I believe this is the car in which he drives her to school, and also the laptop on which he watched broadcast news. MULTI-TASKING! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_845ywsAF1Oc/R14KltELALI/AAAAAAAAAF0/hG8T6VV0uy4/s320/jonah_goldberg_in_car.jpg

This, by the way, is a complaint about using "Berlin Wall" as a metaphor from a guy who wrote, unironically, "the white male is the Jew of liberal fascism."

cant even deal with this

What do women want? The conventional biological wisdom is that men select mates for fertility, while women select for status — thus the commonness of younger women’s pairing with well-established older men but the rarity of the converse. The Demi Moore–Ashton Kutcher model is an exception — the only 40-year-old woman Jack Nicholson has ever seen naked is Kathy Bates in that horrific hot-tub scene. Age is cruel to women, and subordination is cruel to men. Ellen Kullman is a very pretty woman, but at 56 years of age she probably would not turn a lot of heads in a college bar, and the fact that she is the chairman and CEO of Dupont isn’t going to change that.

It’s a good thing Mitt Romney doesn’t hang out in college bars.

When they go to church at their summer-vacation home, the Romney clan makes up a third of the congregation. He is basically a tribal chieftain.

Professor Obama? Two daughters. May as well give the guy a cardigan. And fallopian tubes.

From an evolutionary point of view, Mitt Romney should get 100 percent of the female vote. All of it. He should get Michelle Obama’s vote. You can insert your own Mormon polygamy joke here, but the ladies do tend to flock to successful executives and entrepreneurs. Saleh al-Rajhi, billionaire banker, left behind 61 children when he cashed out last year. We don’t do harems here, of course, but Romney is exactly the kind of guy who in another time and place would have the option of maintaining one. He’s a boss.

oh god I got to the second paragraph and basically went "nooooooooooooooooo"

wtf

This is one of the worst things I've ever read on NRO, and I'm including everything written by the Derb.

this is just horrible horrible shit

btw the commenters are treating it as satire

Kevin Williamson is the tool who wrote the article in May arguing that for the last hundred years the GOP has done more for blacks than the Dems and was given a good frisking by Jonathan Bernstein.

After reading this tone-deaf piece, I can only speculate about the car Mr. Williamson drives -- particularly, the length of its hood.

Like I know the point he's trying to make is, Obama hasn't had enough kids to be a tribal chief, but WTF WTF WTF? Why didn't he just say two kids? Does the writer know YOU CANT CHOOSE THE SEX OF YOUR BABY

We should be back shortly. Thank you for your patience.

writing a thinkpiece on the results of all pre-suffrage elections using some loose psychology on homoerotic desire

lol this asshole

it's interesting to read NR for which writers have given themselves the beat of popularizing for acceptable conservatism certain kinds of way-out right-wing ideas. for wmson it appears to be all the evo-psych/PUA/scentific misogyny stuff.

odd in a way that he hasn't gone full-on derb in terms of white nationalism, since the two go together, but gone to its bizarro-world opposite.

wow @ cover story

pretty sure KDW is black, which might explain why he hasnt gone full derb

He can just focus all of his hatred on women that way.

nope

From an evolutionary point of view, shouldn't Mitt Romney have died at least ten years ago?

He is the theater critic for The New Criterion

theater critic for the new criterion and aspiring magician by the look of things, kevin d. williamson

In 2010, Romney and his wife were flying back from the Vancouver winter Olympics when a guy flipped out on the plane and took a swing at him. Romney had reminded the guy to return his seat to the full upright and locked position before take-off — that’s our Mitt, no?

oh shit is this the LMFAO dude????

Roger Kimball on Gore Vidal

photos or it didn't happen

groan!

hey did they flip back off of disqus comments?

I've read the fallopian tube sentence six times and still understand what he's trying to say.

ha still DON'T understand

the president is a pussy

because he doesn't want enough pussy.

PS I have always generally liked Romney, now I will follow him to the gates of hell!

I am all good with that.

put it in all caps: R-MONEY. Jay-Z can keep his puny little lowercase letters and the Maybach: R-MONEY doesn’t own a flashy car with rims, R-MONEY does billion-dollar deals with Keystone Automotive and Delphi. You want to make it rain? R-MONEY is going to make it storm, like biblical. Rappers boast about their fat stacks: R-MONEY’s fat stacks live in a beachfront house of their own in the Hamptons, and the bricks in that house are made from tightly bound hundred-dollar bills.

things start to get a little zany with this paragraph. Kevin D. Williamson was obviously sipping the Cristal (like a rapper!) while putting together this piece
