I can't breathe after "Chubbsy McLipidsac." I only have enough lung capacity left...FOR A HAIKU...

Michelle's beady eyes
Stir Chubbsy McLipidsac.
If he's brown she's down.

Has Willis ever made any TV appearances? Surely any animated discussion of his caught on videotape would offer numerous frames to be extracted out of context and scorn applied. See how he likes it.

Problem is, Malkin, old married with children sort though she may be, is a fox even when caught in a goofy expression but Willis the ugly going 24/7/365.

I think OTubb's most fetching feature is his huge, buddah-like head.

which brings to mind a line from one of my favorite movies:

"I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Aye, now that was offsides, now wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow."

Hmmm...don't you think all this O-Dub thwacking is getting gratuitously mean?

I mean, it's fucking funny as hell - Chubbsy McLipidsac will live in infamy, oh yes - but still, it seems a bit around the bend. Sure he's a tired hack who coincidentally happens to be grotesquely, revoltingly overweight, but it seems to be in bad taste to constantly harp on it.

Perhaps the Ace has a link to previous posts which explain why he's conceived such contempt for Willis? (I'm open to being convinced!)

Ahh, but lets see how many people are talking about Michelle Malkin versus Ollie (I also added in cowbells)

Notice that more people talk about cowbells than they do Oliver. That's gotta hurt.

1) Willis is a facile hypocrite. I've previously linked how he became so pro Bush and a hawk immediately post 911 (including saying we needed to take out Saddam). Yet, for example, today he says "the candidate of the Democratic party is John Kerry, and he’s seen this president preside over the largest terrorist attack ever in the history of this nation, responding by a half-assed attack in Afghanistan...."

Afghanistan? Willis backed Afghanistan to the hilt.

2) Look at what Willis is currently advertising on his side bar: "Checkpoint, a novel by Nicholson Baker."

Do you know what this book is about? Whether assassinating President Bush is justified.

Yet hypocrite Willis talks about how he "believes in the heroic ideal," whereas Republicans must be stopped because they're a "perversion of democracy" and "they’re destroying the soul of America."

I think "Magnetite to Stupid" deserves at the least a few fat jokes.

Taking still frames from a video to make people look weird is an old trick. I suggest people set their vcrs, tivos, whatever, to record their favorite lefty bloggers and do the same to them and post them. I would love to see stills from a video of atrios.

Could this be the secret motivation behind Professor Reynolds' oft repeated claim that Oliver Willis is "perfect for TV?"

Oh, that would be sweet.

I do believe, however, that Instapundit's seeming endorsement on that front IS a cloaked insult. (Notice how sparing he is with truly harsh words for bloggers? He went off - relatively speaking - on Joshua Micah Ezekiel Haggai Amos Nahum Zechariah Marshall once and I was taken aback since it was so out of character.)

Well, I echo everything Nick said.

My main beefs with Willis are these:

1) Willis got linked by Instapundit a lot in the beginning.

Honesty compels me to admit this. So chalk some of this up to envy. (I don't really need to envy him anymore as regards traffic, but then, he is getting those Soros-bucks.)

But part of the problem I have with Willis is that he is overhyped and overread for the pitifully poor writer and thinker he is. If he were only getting a couple of hundred visits per day, I wouldn't pick on him, because he wouldn't be getting traffic disproportionate to his talent, and because I wouldn't probably even have heard of him.

Josh Marshall has an undeserved reputation for being a "reasonable liberal." Oliver Willis has an undeserved reputation. Period. No one should have ever heard of him, and I'm physically angry that I am confronted on a daily basis with the evidence of his insignificant existence.

2) Building on point 1: He's not funny. He has never written a single funny line. And yet he's one of those guys who thinks he's funny.

I find this personally offensive. A man should know his limitations.

3) Also building on point 1: He has nothing interesting to say. Has Willis ever written a post that took on an issue in a novel or interesting way? No, he has not, and I've checked.

All he does is link Josh Marshall or whatnot or whoever. This is especially repulsive, because he, in his not-funny way, "invented" the phrase "Right Wing Wurlitzer" to (poorly and unhumorously) describe right wing bloggers who do little but link/parrot the opinions of others.

One would think that someone making such a charge would be required, at least once per month, to come up with his own new take on things-- something original, something interesting. Not only doesn't he do this (it's beyond his capacity), but he furthermore doesn't even make an effort.

I've never even seen him attempt to write an "Important Post" and then fail.

4) He cries racism over fat-jokes. "Fat" is not a race, first of all. And then this Double-D Darling calls people like Limbaugh fat.

5) He cries foul over "attacks on his looks." But then he attacks others on their looks-- even if they're smokin' hot, like Michelle Malkin.

6) He's a kneejerk Kool-Aid leftist.

I could go on and on, but it would get repetitive. I can only repeat: Unfunny, untalented, unoriginal, uninteresting, unperceptive, wildly hypocritical, often dishonest, but sadly not unread.

Well, in that case...pass the filet-o-fish.

He cries foul over "attacks on his looks." But then he attacks others on their looks. . .

Have a video of him??

I have fabulous eyelashes.

I love Britt. He can convey so much with a look and a tone of voice.

"...didn't grow up to be Nick Rhodes..."
I'm freakin' crying and my wife's looking in the office wondering what the hell I'm doing that is so damn funny.
