McCain never said he COULDN'T use email, he said he saw no need to.
The North fucking Vietnamese had nothing to do with that.
He did say he couldn't use a computer. He can use a blackberry and fly a Corsair, though.

If Goldberg were scripted into a superhero/villain movie, I think his character would be known as The Justifier. I'm surprised that he was able to find the time and energy needed to 'research' this bit of McCain's history, though - assuming, of course, that he didn't ask one of his online readers to send him this information. He's a national treasure.

I think Will is just going through the motions. "As my column clearly shows, I've again written a bland stew of vagueries which is both not-edgy and written in English. Let my gentle words lull you into your soft, velvety Tomorrow, America."

Are you sure you didn't do any condensing of Will's column? You mean he really did cram all of those contradictions into back-to-back sentences?

As always, on this blog the word "twat" is used with the precisely the same inflection and connotation the term carries in the film "Shaun of the Dead." American English is colorful and inventive, but lacks a precise synonym of abuse in this regard, regrettably.

"Schmuck".

I count Yiddish as English. I live in New York.

Actually, that Will paragraph is one of the better ones I've read from him. He's not bad at putting a sentence together...noun, verb, Will...but to complete a thought seems beyond him without a detour thru Tanzania.

Or more precisely, getting thoroughly lost and ending up in Tanzania, instead of at his original point.

Jonah Goldberg, unwilling to let go of a stupid idea

Well of course he is. Those are the only kind he ever has and even they are rare events. He feels a need to savor them as long as possible, before sliding back into his normal Cheetos induced coma.

I think twat describes Will better than schmuck. Goldberg is a schmuck.

Not to be contrarian but up here in A_____ we use these braces to shore up the walls of condensation . It is like a hedge against the breezy more elite sorts who populate our burgeoning entertainment industry .
That and the forced hot air heating .

Goldberg is a schmuck.

Said in Salma Hayek's voice from Dogma, of course.

My sympathy for having to explain the Clinton impeachment to the 9-yer-old. I was lucky: the kids were the right age during the events that one could just leave them to pick it up in gutter. Probably presented it in more comprehensible & immediate terms than I could have.

And now I wonder: Does that old "pick it up in the gutter" phrase for the alternative to proper sex education still mean anything to anybody?
