As Throbert would say, "Oh Mary..."

So Sockpuppet calls Glenn a bundle of sticks, therefor by Prof Reynolds linking to it *he's* the homophobe?

How bad do Addled Andrews logical inconsistancy have to be before the Atlantic cuts him loose?

[cue parody cartoon from the other day]

LOL! I don't think that will ever fail to get a laugh out of me!

Thanks Frank

But I have rarely received as unhinged a homophobic rant as the one Glenn Reynolds just linked to, directed against Glenn Greenwald.

Okay, first let me concede the point that the Ace of Spades piece was technically "homophobic" insofar as shifting gears from "U R a wimp" to "U R a gay" was totally gratuitous -- I mean, he could've just elaborated on the wimp theme without dragging Greenwald's supposed sexuality into it.

But I don't know why Sullivan describes this as "unhinged" homophobia, implying that it's quite over the top and among the worst examples he's seen. I guess he's reacting to this:

Not that I'm saying homosexuality is incompatible with masculinity, of course. Consenting biweekly to having one's duodenum battered with the manic hydraulic fury of a tricked-out V-12 jackhammer manned by an epileptic Con-Ed worker with an ancestral oath of vengeance against asphalt would, I think, tend to butch one up, at least as regards one's pain threshold.

Since Sullivan himself is a self-described "power bottom" -- which by definition means that you like to be on the receiving end of rough, deep, jackhammer-like buttfucking -- I can't see that he has much grounds to complain about stereotyping here.

Some of the comments on Matthew Yglesias' site (linked by Sully) are a hoot -- in a laughing at them way, I mean. Several posters are quite pleased with themselves to have caught AoS in an "error" about the location of the duodenum!

Duodenum? Ouch, that would have to be a really long one. :)

Frank, as I commented a little while ago on the Yglesias blog -- where everyone was falling over themselves doing the "Anal Sex Is Perfectly Valid But Don't You Dare Suggest That All Gays Enjoy It" two-step:

I notice that Ace of Spade's description of a vigorous cock-pounding was totally ambiguous as to whether the route of entry was via mouth or anus. (If you imagine a vertical line connecting the two orifices, the duodenum sits very roughly at the midpoint; on the other hand, if you consider the actual route that food takes through the entire twisting length of the digestive system, then the duodenum is actually much closer to the mouth than to the anus.)

In any case, the fact that AoS mentions the duodenum must surely prove that he's (a) prodigiously hung, and (b) straight as an arrow -- looking down, he observes that his own dick is long enough to reach the duodenum from other end, and having never seen another man's boner, he naively assumes that his is typical. QED.

There has to be a way to hack into Androol's site and permanently enable trackbacks.

ev? joem? Let's make this job #1, mmm?

Even ahead of the pull-down nick list?

Thank you, Magic Fairy! You're the greatest. :)

I'll post the screenshot when I get home.

Oh really?

I guess he doesn't like being called "Dr. Savage-Husky". :P

You know, the Yglesias thread seemed like the perfect excuse to post another link to Planet Unicorn (Heyyyy!)

Tracked Back!!! :P

Frank -- I didn't notice it before, but Sullivan opens with "I've gotten used to having my gayness used against me..."

Er... is that gayness as in "lame-itude," or as in "homosexuality"?
