Why do so many wingnuts write so very fucking badly?
Collected at Red State:
Time is long overdue that Pelosi, Murtha, Levin, and their fellow travelers were called out on the consequences of their actions. They are acting against the best interests of the US and her allies in the region and they are acting in concordance with the wishes of our enemies. You are left with only two choices for their actions, they are either knaves or poltroons.
"Knaves or poltroons"...?
What the fuck is wrong with you? Who the fuck is in charge over there? Do you even know what the fuck either of those words means? Have you been helped?
Not everyone on the Right writes like this, though God knows enough of them do. But it's interesting that nobody on the Left does, in the blogosphere anyway. (That Cockburn person is sometimes tempted.) You get this image of Regency fops struggling mightily over the chamberpot, wigs askew: "Mmmmmph... POLTROONS! ... Aaaaaaahhhhh...." (Plop.)
The scientific question, of course, is where this overwhelming pressure to write so very preciously comes from, and what can be done about it. Personally, I blame our failed public education system. Aspiring Red State writers clearly need to be beaten far more severely by stern, implacable Victorian matrons. Which won't help their prose very much, but might at least keep it off the streets and in the realms of porn, where it can do no harm and might at least teach them something useful about Discipline.
