I am told that Duncan's Daycare for Dotty Duffers, aka "the braintrust," is snarking on my description of Neil Gorsuch as a pretty face the Federalist fascists chose to put on their sheer evil.
Well, I'm not going to go to a lot of trouble to answer it, but I'm not the first person who noticed that For example there is this from Ari Berman in The Nation on March 21:
Neil Gorsuch Is Not Another Scalia. He’s the Next John Roberts.
Gorsuch puts a handsome face on an ugly ideology.
Duncan's day care isn't so big on doing any reading, not even looking at the headlines of a word search online, they'd rather trash talk without any thought behind it. I have huge problems with The Nation magazine and its direction under the trustafarian leadership of Katrina Vanden Huevel, just as I've come to look back and see it was hardly a great source of non-ideological truth under Victor Navasky (another reputation that fades under a wider reading and consideration of his writing) but they make a few points, now and again. I don't play the game of cooties that is the mainstay of Eschatonian discourse. It's not only post literate, it's post truthiness.

ReplyDeleteSo, as I already knew, you don't know the difference between saying that obviously has a literal meaning and something that is merely a figure of speech. I.e., just an expression.
ReplyDeleteYou're an incoherent writer because you're an incoherent thinker.
Mind explaining just what "figure of speech," "I.e, (sic) just an expression," you're referring to?
DeleteBerman: "Gorsuch puts a handsome face on an ugly ideology."
ReplyDeleteWhich is not the same as your stupid description of Neil Gorsuch as "a pretty face the Federalist fascists chose to put on their sheer evil." No one in their right mind would ever describe Gorscuch as a pretty face. He's not a sex symbol, despite what you seem to think.
Of course, no one would ever describe you as being in your right mind.
Yeah, I figured you'd come up with something that stupid. Which is why I posted that comment - fixed my moderation that led to your earlier emesis being posted. What I said means exactly the same thing that Ari Berman said. What's the problem, Simps, you don't know that the Federalist fascists also chose Roberts and that when he was nominated people talked about his looks as making him easier to get confirmed? Or maybe you don't understand the legal and ideological issues that led Berman to note that he and Roberts are equivalent? Only I think Gorsuch is far stupider than Roberts and far less apt to reign in that trait he shares in such abundance with you, clueless conceit.
DeleteYou are an idiot. That's not a figure of speech or just an expression, it's an objective fact.
Do me a favor, run you claim past Skepsy, I can't wait to hear his take on why those two statements aren't exact equivalents. No, not equivalents, exactly synonymic.
DeleteWho the fuck cares whether the Federalists thought Gorsuch was good looking? Nobody in their right minds could possibly take the claim that his looks would make people overlook his politics seriously. Except obviously you.
ReplyDeleteYou're an incoherent writer because you're an incoherent thinker.
It's that simple, and that sad. You don't understand how the English language works and you're a complete crackpot.
You are so stupid that you don't understand that that doesn't a. disprove what I claimed, or b. do a thing to change the fact that Ari Berman and I said exactly the same thing.
DeleteWhat's SIMPle is that the idiots at Eschaton agree with you without even knowing what it is that was actually said.
I do have to hand it to Duncan, I learned a lot from his blog but it wasn't what he wanted people to learn from it and it isn't complementary to him or those who stayed there as the adults fled. It's so funny that you're going on about Bob Corker's tweet when exactly the same thing could be said about Duncan's, as I've pointed out about it for years, now.
Gorsuch is "pretty face" because, despite his reprehensible legal opinions and doctrines (illuminated best by Sen. Franken in the hearing on Gorsuch), he's still allowed into polite company without the derision still showered on Justice Thomas (does anyone take him seriously?).
ReplyDeleteIt's a metaphor. Only a cave of trolls would take it as a point to cavil on.
"A cave of trolls" is a perfect venereal noun for inbred blog communities and organizing trolling efforts.
DeleteOnce again, two words.
ReplyDeleteDAN QUAYLE.
That whole "he looks like Robert Redford" thing did so well for the Republicans.
Again, idiot, you believe you've pulled your fat out of the fire when you didn't. The Supreme Court isn't an elected office, it's a life appointment, Gorsuch doesn't have to run for anything. It's an entirely different thing. And as stupid as Gorsuch is, he's not as stupid or callow as Dan Quayle.
DeleteI'm guessing you didn't do very well in geometry, it requires logical thought.
You just proved again that you're a delusional crackpot with the political savvy of a garden slug. The fact that you believe you're qualified to lecture anybody on logical thought is the cream of the jest.
ReplyDeleteIf that's your idea of a lecture, I can't imagine what your college courses were like.
DeleteI'm quite competent to note that you are the personification of illogic. Not the only one, one of far too many.
I'll rely on the people who read my blog who are not also a living example of Baron Munchausen syndrome. If that didn't already have a name yours could be accurately given to it.
