Did they stop delivering newspapers to your house?

I don't get it. What is your obsession with Palin, and O'Reilly for that matter?

The Cult said...

I think all of us who post anonymously (and maybe some who don't) should all start posting as "The Cult".

The Cult=No Practical Application in Reality.

Okay, so...

Tort Reform - No Practical Application in Reality.

Expanding consumer choice (and provider competition) in the insurance market - No Practical Application in Reality.

Expecting people to honor contracts - No Practical Application in Reality.

Obeying the law - No Practical Application in Reality.

Enforcing the law - No Practical Application in Reality.

Expecting words or phrases (like "justice", "ethical", "illegal" or "economic growth") to mean what the dictionary claims they mean - No Practical Application in Reality. (Actually I can see the validity of this one.)

The Teabaggers said...

Actually I doubt he has a grip on the idea that conservatives are individuals at all. Maybe if we claim to be "conservatives he knows" he'll actually here us.

White Racists said...

I think he's secretly gay.

The Cult said...

What have we been thinking of?

Ladies and gentlemen (and bitches and assholes) on the right, we have been remiss. No wonder it's not getting anywhere, we haven't been properly following the script.

juris, you're out of line. Last, you too, Kevin, you too. Anonymous, you too. What do you mean which one, all of you damn it. You aren't permissible members of the cast of The Cult. You're individuals, which makes you invisible. It won't make any sense to him unless we stay within the boundaries of the psychodrama. So, permissible characters are:

The Cult

Teabagger

Middle Aged White Male

Obviously A Fucking Racist

Sarah Palin Fantasy Pervert

Flat Earther

Civil War Reenactor

Shitkicker

Hillbilly

Christian Fundamentalist


Who have I missed?

Once we have all of them, any additions will have to be decided by consensus once the science is settled.

Oh, and remember: You're not an individual, be a faction.

juris imprudent said...

You have just about pegged it - well enough that I am almost tempted to play along. But I'm really not that interested in conforming with M's internal dialogues.

You did miss one: Neo-Nazi Aryan turd burglar. [I cheated a little, I posted this comment after M's latest on border insecurity.]

Sarah Palin Fantasy Perverts said...

Well my major blunder was failing to make them all plural. This after I specifically pointed out that you can't be an individual, you have to be a faction. Duh.

Do you think in addition to the Neo-Nazis I should include "Foot Rustlers" or "Tonsil Bandits"?

Nah, probably not. Those are from Obama's internal psychodrama, not Mark's.

When Dave ("Who?") Weigel wanted to bash conservatives about Palin, he asked why we were freaking out over Joe McGinnis invading her privacy, because "any journalist" would jump at that chance.

See, that's the problem Dave: No they wouldn't. How do I know this? Because they haven't. Bill Clinton's a big, important figure to write biographies about; how come no one's renting the apartment across the street from his wink-wink "executive offices" in Harlem and peeking at him to see who visits him?

So why, Dave, if this is something "all journalists" would jump to do, do they not... actually... do... it?

It's because you're wrong. Not "all journalists" would do this about their subjects. Not because they don't want to sell more books. But because the peer disapproval from their like-minded liberal colleagues discourages them from spying on Hillary Clinton.

And they do it to Palin because none of them care if Palin's privacy is invaded; in fact, they applaud it. Because she is "The Other." She is inhuman -- and you can treat her worse than an animal.

Yet she invites people to invade her privacy. That's what happens when you become a media personality. The up side is that you make a lot of money. The downside is that the paparazzi are after you all the time.

Don't think for a moment that she doesn't love all the attention. She may whine about the media but without it she can't be all popular and stuff.
