James Wolcott on Kristof

Wow, I am doing a lot of Kristof bashing lately… I guess I am particularly upset because he really should know better… I can write off old loons like Safire, but I expect more from Kristof.

Anyway, here is James Wolcott on the Kristof column which sparked my outrage… he attacks a different component of the column, but with better venom. He has obviously attained an enlightened state of DHP.

The best passage of Kristof-mocking:

Therefore I am proposing that the official Democratic slogan for 2008 be "Shoot a Fag for Jesus."

It's a simple, catchy slogan that will look good on a bumperstickers, yet carry a multilateral strike: pro-guns, anti-gay, and unashamedly Christian. Since abortion is so problematic for Democrats, "Shoot a Babykiller for Jesus" might do the trick in some of the battleground states as a supplemental bumpersticker.

This is the second time today that I have linked to Wolcott after having never read him before… I am definitely going to have to give him an extended look.
