Andrew Sully and Moore Disorder (Larisa Alexandrovna, "HuffPuff")

Andrew Sully and Moore Disorder

I know Andrew Sullivan just simply cannot help his obsession with Michelle Malkin. After all, there are few inflatable puppets who can manage to be horizontal and sit on their master’s lap at the same time. Malkin, by the way, is the inflated puppet in this scenario, although Andy can fill in when Malkin is unavailable

Now it seems that little Andy has developed a Moore disorder not unlike the one that Bill O’Reilly has, and very similar also to the one unleashed by the right wing as a cure to logic and reason.

The symptoms of a Moore disorder are quite visible and can be used to easily identify shills (Coulter) and hookers (Gannon): ascribe a negative meaning to words that in and of themselves have no negative connotation, (Liberal); use distorted meanings of words that can have both a negative and positive connotation or simply misrepresent them completely (Communism), create an adjective of derision from the name of a person who holds an opposing view, and use it as an insult (Howard Dean); and lie over and over until the lie becomes believable no matter how far fetched or improbable (WMD, Freedom is on the March, etc.)

Are they all sharing Bush’s brain, or are they all sipping from the same trough? Consider that not a single one of the Luntz-o-matic verbiage generators has yet to adequately apply their Moore/Dean insult in any logical or factual way.

Andy Hearts Larisa

Case in point, Andy’s latest ode to bullshit includes an honorable mention to me.


MOORE AWARD RUNNER UP 2005: "So while children are drowning and others are floating around, dead in the water, the wannabe Yale cowboy struts around the set of his faux town hall meetings, has a bit of cake with John McCain, and takes in some fresh air in Colorado.
Congress? Anyone?

Dick? Where is Dick? Anyone?

Condi? Rummy? Any other Iran-Contra Folks?

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

Hello?

So where does that leave us, the citizens of this raped, pillaged, terrorized, demoralized, freedom loving nation?

Floating face down, eyes affixed on a once great New Orleans!" - Larisa Alexandrovna, on HuffPuff.

3. Nicely done.
I never cease to be awed at the sight of a rightwinger with frothy spit on his lips as he blurts, "You're unhinged!"
