Dunces
The confederacy of dunces that comprise the right wing blogosphere is simulatenously a source of great joy and great pain to me. Great joy because they offer an unending supply of unintentional hilarity (often highlighted by Sadly, No!), but great pain because it's alarming to know that people actually think that way. The worst part, though, is that the pain is mine to bear, and only rarely can I share the joy, because few of my friends read many right wing blogs.
Enter this hilarious piece from Roy Edroso at the Village Voice. The Official Village Voice Election-Season Guide to the Right-Wing Blogosphere is both side-splittingly funny and eirily spot on. The cutting distillation of the personas of these clowns into a short rubric has to be read to be believded. So go read it. Acquaint yourself with the stooges that will spend the next seven months convincing each other that Obama is a manchurian jihadist just waiting to fly air force one into the pentagon, or something.
Then all of us can share the joy of laughing at the bloggers on the short bus.
