Remember All Those Nice Things I Said About Dave Weigel?

Posted on | July 12, 2010 | 45 Comments

Yeah, I’m looking like a total chump, now that he’s guestblogging for Andrew Sullivan.

No word on what Weigel will have to add to the usual Sarah Palin obstetric conspiracy theories and Israel-bashing at Sully’s.

What next for Weigel? Guest-hosting the Alex Jones show?

UPDATE: Note Ace’s reaction, including the not-gonna-link-Sully-no-matter-what standard. Very few sites qualify for that extreme ostracism by Ace. Meanwhile, Weigel explains his Sully past. NTTAWWT.

    In fairness Sullivan like yourself was one of the few people who defended him.

    Will you still feel this way when I link to you from there?

    I don’t think Alex would have him as he’s a tool for corporate media. He might qualify for a 2am spot at Air America.

    Yeah, I know, but . . . the Trig-Truther-in-Chief? Maybe Dave doesn’t “get” how much that stuff reeks.

    With the Olympia Dukakis character in “Moonstruck” in mind, What Dave doesn’t get is a lot.

    Guess who else is posting at the Dish. Ace has the screen cap so you don’t have to send Sully clickies.

    Are we going to see Charles Johnson there for a trifecta of totally useless pseudo-conservatives?

    You tried to be nice. It’s one of the great things about being Southern, and, I might add, Minnesotan, et al.Really, now, wouldn’t you rather be you, and do the nice thing, even if you seem a little foolish later?

    Don’t worry about it so much. It would be a complete chump moment if Dave began guest blogging at LGF.

    Actually, Wiegel seems to have written some pretty good stuff since he was turfed.

    So your defense probably was not in vain.

    (Still needed to be turfed.)

    This is how we learn.

    Just because a guy realizes he is vastly overpaid, and even if it embarrasses him enough to pick up a bar or restaurant tab now and then, it doesn’t make him a good guy or a good reporter.

    I also have David Frum guest hosting too. That should tell you something.

    Now excuse me, time for cocktails and…other enjoyments to be had when one is on holiday! Cheerio!

    Yeah, once you skitter over to guest-post at Andrew Sullivan’s (three people = one person named Andi Sullypants) blog, it’s pretty much over.

    On the bright side, Weigel and Powerglutes can have amazing conversations about female reproductive anatomy, a subject neither one is much of an expert on.
