Escherblogging
Apr 16, 2007 Blogophilia
Mickey Kaus is terrible with permalinking so I am just pickup this entire segment of Kausfiles from last Friday and reprinting it here based on some moral or legal right thing. It is just such a geshmakeh example of inside-baseball, personal, navel-gazing, self-referential, inside-out, yummy catty witchy blogging, featuring one of my favorite targets, the Unhinged One himself:
Howie Carr condemned Imus? If memory serves, Howie Carr’s radio show was the most offensive radio program I’d ever heard when I listened to it during the 2000 New Hampshire primary–more offensive, in terms of ethnic insensitivity and general sneering inhumanity than anything I’ve seen
attributed to Imus’s broadcast.
**–In 2004, I appear to have blogged that when I tuned in again that year, “Carr’s show wasn’t vile anymore.” I defer to my 2004 self on that issue. Still. …
Update–Sullivan Unhinging Watch: I thought the above post was pretty clear about Carr’s show: Vile in 2000! Not vile in 2004. Andrew Sullivan seems to believe this is a contradiction, and proceeds to condescendingly defend me while soliciting similar forgiveness because he’s a “human being” and “blogging in real time” and therefore guilty of some “minor inconsistencies.” (Like ‘Yes, war!’ and ‘Sorry, mistake!‘) No thanks. … P.S.: Sullivan declares the asterisked graf above was “subsequently added.” I forget, but think the whole thing was posted at the same time. … P.P.S.: What happened to “Faggot-Guy“? I thought I was Faggot-Guy. You just can’t rely on some people.
Oh, Mickey, on you I can rely! At least when it comes to Andrew Sullivan.
