Well, at least he admitted it’s about opposing contraception
What’s interesting in this otherwise stunningly dishonest op-ed column by Ross Douthat about sex ed is that he casually admits that abstinence-only education is about attacking contraception, a practice that 98% of American women have engaged in at some point in their lives. And by virtue of this, that means…
Sorry, wingnuts, but you have to choose
Like Dave says, this Ross Douthat column should be immediately recognizable by liberal bloggers as concern trolling. And when you get concern trolled, you know whatever you’re doing is threatening, and is probably effective, and you should keep doing it. I’m not going to weigh in on the “did or…
On To The Next One (Feat. Swizz Luntz)
Ross Douthat interviews Frank Luntz to get to the bottom of healthcare reform’s unpopularity, only four months after he warned that Republicans were going up against the tremendous popularity of healthcare reform, because he’s Frank Luntz and he’s just like that. he long shadow of that 1994 drubbing helps explain…
Cranky old people didn’t come up with this on their own
Please, my liberal friends. I understand that you want to be generous people who assume that our opposition is capable of arguing in good faith, and Ross Douthat makes himself an appealing person to reach out to, because he will occasionally say not-crazy things. And you’ll be tempted to reprint…
That’s Funny
Ross Douthat finally got around to the column we all knew was coming – the embrace of Judd Apatow as the new film Jesus of conservatism. I always find the lionization of Apatow as conservative standard-bearer puzzling. What Apatow did with The 40-Year-Old Virgin (and has hammered into the ground…
Gadzooks!
Ross Douthat is trying to muscle in on Bill Kristol territory, turning Sarah Palin into a Lesson For Us All: Our president represents the meritocratic ideal — that anyone, from any background, can grow up to attend Columbia and Harvard Law School and become a great American success story. But…
Douthat sez: “Condoms cause adultery!” (Or not, depending on who you voted for)
We learn two interesting things about Ross Douthat’s appointment to be a columnist for the NY Times from his column today: that the desire to be coherent will never be an obstacle for Douthat when he’s trotting out his prejudice disguised at arguments, and that the reason that the editorial…
Screw around, ladies! Makes you more moral than a douchey Times columnist
Jesse touched on Ross Douthat’s latest excretion yesterday (summary: yes, killing doctors rape victims dying women blah blah, but did you know YOUNG WOMEN ARE FUCKING AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT?), and it was so exhausting to read Douthat’s lies and innuendo that I was really happy that other bloggers…
Oh god, make it stop, why can’t it just stop?
In an awesome show of tastelessness, Ross Douthat has decided to use today’s column to continue his single-minded vendetta against the women of America, and our enablers who wrongly believe that women should own ourselves. The right tends to blame the left for the Supreme Court’s expanded ambit, and not…
Fact is, people have no idea what’s even going on
Back from Europe, broke and tired, but super glad to be home. Anything important happen while I was gone? Just kidding! While I didn’t have time to write, I was able to follow some of the stuff going on back home, and was disappointed to find that there was a…
