Good Snark!

Jonah Goldberg, writing in National Review, has some good snark (N.B. “good snark” meets two criteria: it’s witty sarcasm that hits marks you want hit [eg]) directed toward LLMB whines about the election that continue to this day and probably will continue for four more year! four more years! to come. An example:

Take the two leading liberal columnists at the New York Times, Maureen Dowd and Paul Krugman. As we all know, one’s a whining self-parody of a hysterical liberal who lets feminine emotion and fear defeat reason and fact in almost every column. The other used to date Michael Douglas.

But beyond the really good snark are some thought-provoking observations about other whiners in the LLMB such as,

What Maher, Raines, and Smiley fail to grasp is that all morality is based upon transcendence — or it is merely based on utilitarianism of one kind or another, and therefore it is not morality so much as, at best, an enlightened expediency or will-to-power. It is no more rational to vote based on a desire to do “good” than it is to vote based on a desire to do God’s will. Indeed, for millions of people this is a distinction without a difference — as it was for so many of the abolitionists progressives and civil-rights leaders today’s liberals love to invoke but never actually learn about.

Just go read it all.
