What the right-wing blogs are saying

Just so you know you're not missing anything by skipping the 'fair and balanced' scribblings from the administration's boosters, I'll share this gem from Powerline, where the author of this particular nugget is a guy named 'Hinderaker,' who adopted the nom du blog 'Hindrocket.' Fits rather nicely with my theory of the right-wing's penchant for homoeroticism. Before reading the following, you might want to put something soft and cushiony on your desk-- because your jaw will drop that far:
