Conservatism's Joke On Us
A moment of clarity. John Pomfret, the editor of the Washington Post's Outlook section, explains that the piece by Independent Women's Forum blogger Charlotte Allen on the stupidity of the female gender was actually "tongue-in-cheek." And now, suddenly everything makes sense. Conservatism, it turns out, is a tongue-in-cheek movement. The Wall Street Journal Editorial page, Liberal Fascism, Rush Limbaugh, The Project for a New American Century, and even the Bush administration itself have just been yanking our chain all along. LOL!

But of course. The resemblance between George W. Bush and Alfred E. Newman is hardly just a coincidence.

Yep, I read that article - then I had a sarsparilla and watched Grandpa hitch the horses up to the buggy.

This will shock you. KLoDown at NROs Corner writes "Charlotte Allen eviscerates women. I love it".
And her tongue was nowhere near her cheeks (the ones on her face, anyway.)

Last I heard, jokes are only funny if no one gets hurt.
