I was watching the Chris Matthews show this morning and Andrew Sullivan was on (pissing and moaning about the new Pope). Is he British or is he one of those people who has adopted a faux british accent in a quest to sound intelligent?

He's British Tink. Also, as to the parody-- Spot on except George Weigel is a social conservative and a big defender of traditional Catholicism. He writes for NR all the time. So that part of the parody doesn't work.

Thanks Bob. I never really paid much attention to Sullivan, but Ace has been a little, eh- how shall we say...preoccupied with him of late.

It almost rises to the level of obession. But please don't tell Ace I said that.

Ace just goes where the material is. He's not obsessed with HWINTBN, he's just a web whore.
Excuse me. An excellent web whore.

What does HWINTBN stand for? I keep seeing it but I didn't see the original reference.

Oh, okay. He Who Is Not To Be Named.

I thought people were spoofing me, like with "He Who Is Frequently To Be Named" or something.

"He who is not to be named"

Bob: "Spot on except George Weigel is a social conservative and a big defender of traditional Catholicism."

Quite right. I wasn't really trying to parody the guests, as I even changed the msgrs. name. Probably should have done the same in the case above. It was more about the kind of guest Matthews would like to have. : )

Wait a minute, didn't Bill from INDC swear that Dan was not funny? This was funny.

Bill has let me down again. Hopefully he will magically show up to flame me for speaking his name in vain, and restore my confidence in his brittle fucktardiness.

hahaha
