In the spirit of Washington's Birthday (whose idea was it to degrade this holiday to "President's Day" anyway?), we've decided to add the Pandagon blog to our thin but growing "Enemies List." We named it in honor of a similar one created by the late, lamented Trickster, who still doesn't get enough credit for seeing what the accession of George McGovernment would mean for the once-honorable Democrat Party, now being run by increasingly un-closeted Marxists.
Pandagon, for you non blog fanatics, is headed up by Amanda Marcotte, whose 15 minutes of fame occurred when she was appointed as one of the bloggers meant to buttress wealthy ambulance-chaser and working stiff John Edwards' nascient campaign for Prez in 2008. Amanda and her minions proceeded to use this bully pulpit to smear and slander the Catholic Church and Catholics in general. Unrepentant, she continues to spew vulgarities, slander, and condescension in the direction of a much-hated yet ill-defined "patriarchy."**
Edwards, with a true executive decisiveness harkening back to those thrilling days of yesteryear— when when heroic George McGovern supported his running mate Tom Eagleton 1000% before dumping him from the ticket—supported Amanda's freedom to blog by, well, at least 100%. And then dumped her shortly thereafter via the usual "self-resignation" route so popular in DC to cover up a political firing. Say, what is it about these Democrats anyway? Always being "for" something or someone before they're "against" it or them? Evidence, perhaps, of a party that has no principles at all, save a naked lust for power?
Anyhow, given Amanda's fondness for foul language, gratuitous insults, vile invective, and nonstop, unfounded slandering—most, if not all learned from the Marx-Gramsci tactical playbook—we've decided to honor her and her pals by placing her on our Enemies List. Clearly, she'll be in good company with other hatemeisters of the left on our list, particularly the Daily Kos. Welcome, Amanda!
**(The existence of the "patriarchy," BTW, has always been a mystery to Wonker. Many years ago and in a galaxy far, far away called "America in the 1970s," Wonk was blackballed by dozens of colleges when he sought tenure-track positions held open for doctrinaire gender feminists and other leftist species by means of hiring quotas. And who, of course, were not "privileged" like the unemployed Wonker. Some "patriarchy.")
