Joe Klein sez, "As a Liberal..."

"...let me assure you that, yes, Liberals do want to gay up your children, molest your dog and use your baby's blood to cool our ho-mo-sexual lattes so that we can dunk our biscotti without burning our pink, Liberal fingers."

Via Tristram Shandy I see that TIME's in-house faux liberal is at it again, this time giving Hugh Hewitt a private lap dance instead of dancing around the pole for everyone to see:

HH: I just have never seen them on PBS. But nevertheless, Joe, what I want to talk about is reverse Turnip Days, moments where candidates were not candid, and I think it hurt them. I want to start with an episode I find odd not finding it here in Politics Lost, which is the Florida recount, and the disastrous attempt by Gore and Lieberman to throw out the ballots of the military. Was that not the sort of authentic moment where we saw the soul of the modern Democratic Party on display?


JK: I think that the Florida recount in general...well, first of all, you're right about that. I mean, too often, the default position, especially in the left wing of the Democratic Party, is to not respect the military sufficiently, and to assume that anytime the United States would use force overseas, we would be wrong
.

And people wonder why liberals are popularly perceived as being cowards.

Here we have alleged liberal Joe Klein being confronted by alleged human Hugh Hewitt with a comment that the Democratic Party's [black]"soul" was on display when it argued that illegal ballots cast after election day shouldn't be counted (for good reason, as it turned out.) Does Joe Klein argue that the the Republicans staged fake uprisings and attempted to get the Cuban community to rise up (among many other things) thus showing that using the Florida debacle as an illustration of the "soul" of a party wasn't really a smart thing to do? No. Does he point out that the Republican party has a funny way of showing its "soul" when it supports torture? No. Does he laugh in Hugh Hewitt's supercilious face? Of course not.

He agrees with Hewitt. Indeed, this line is his foremost Scotty McClellanesque robotic talking point lately, called into use no matter what the question about the Democrats, whether it's about "soul" or nuclear war. Is there anyone in DC who can deprogram this guy?

You just get a little bite; now go over to Digby's casa and read the whole of it.

Except you, Mr. Klein. You sit your moneymaker down for a little free advice.

In case you never noticed, whores really do not age well.

I know you believe if you just keep knobbing Wingnut lap bishops long enough, and randomly rabbit punching anything that moves that's Left of Roy Cohn, you hope to slip into a nice, dotty, éminence grise semi-retirement.

Or maybe you think, if you last long enough, the wheel may turn and your fate may differ. After all, even Nixon got a decent funeral and a eulogy by Clinton, and like Noah Cross says in "Chinatown", "...I'm respectable. I'm old. Politicians, public buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough."

In your case, never gonna happen.

See you have scary, chitenous, carney-folk hands. And frankly Joe, nobody wants those knobby little spiders crab-walking over their birthday suits looking for erogenous zones.

So that's out.

And your lies have smacked all of the torque out of your mouth. It's old and loose and slobby. No shearing force there. All the elasticity of an O-ring in a meat locker...covered in heavy pineapple syrup. Again, not what the paying customer wants when he can have his pick of frisky youngsters in Brit Hume's stables.

So unless you're planning on letting your GOP playmates skull-fuck you, you really only have one orifice left to peddle.

And lets just say it's not situated anyplace that can be easily leaned in through Hugh Hewitt's driver's side window for a little 2:00 A.M. pick-me-up...
