Better than yours

Elvis Mitchell pisses me off. No one should be able to conduct an interview as well as he did on The Treatment this week with Kinsey director Bill Condon. I'm now all a-fire to see the movie, especially after reading this morning that groups with words like "family" and "concerned" in their names are protesting it--because, apparently, Kinsey invented pedophilia.

I stole part of that last line from Tom Shales' equally masterful spatchcocking of FCC chairman Michael Powell in yesterday's Post. Key sentence:


Powell belongs at the bottom of the barrel with the lowliest of the bunch. He is an agenda masquerading as a man, the proverbial pompous ass and, worse, a genuine threat to freedom of speech.
And I can't think of 30 words to say about a Robyn Hitchcock record I like.

*very* rarely are Sensitive Right-Wingers this amusing. and i appreciate the fact that Evangelicals are in firm control of the machinery of the Republican Party. although it's likely that a Giuliani(?) or a McCain would beat the pants suit off Mz. Clinton, it ain't gonna happen on account they'd never allow a contest between two "dangerous liberals." look for Bill Frist - or someone like him - getting a bang.shanga.lang put on him (actually a surprising number of Conservative White Male Voters will secretly support Hillary / and they'll never admit it inna million years. call it the "Bad Mommy" principle [see also The Simulacra by pkDick]).
