After 20 years they're still yammering about Limbaugh.

It's an amazing thing, really.

"south park conservatives" is an excellent book....i am reading it now.

To him, the popularity of the stingingly anti-P.C. cartoon series ''South Park'' signals the advent of a new generation of Americans who refuse to accept public censure for their scornful attitudes toward gay men and lesbians, Native Americans, environmentalism and abortion rights.

In other words, when they tell people to shut up, we thumb our noses at them which makes them furious.  And how did "Native Americans" get thrown into the mix?  I'm an Indian (see, I don't subscribe to the N/A moniker that they've imposed on us) and I'm known around these parts as the most anti-PC guy there is.

Anderson quotes an interview that Howard Kurtz, the Washington Post's media critic, conducted with Lawrence O'Donnell, a political analyst and screenwriter for ''The West Wing,'' in which O'Donnell said, ''You'll never, ever get the Republican TV show.'' Anderson and O'Donnell imply that this has something to do with politics, but isn't it more likely a question of ratings? Would anybody, even a conservative fan of ''South Park'' -- especially a conservative fan of ''South Park'' -- want to watch a sitcom about churchgoing parents with two children who lead an uneventful life and make regular donations to the Fraternal Order of Police?

I guess that's why The Brady Bunch, Star Trek, et.al. are dismal failures.

I couldn't stand to watch "The South Park" show for more than 5 minutes because, yes, I am a humorless prude but I could recognize what the show was doing. This is all enormously cheering. Political Correctness must die (and take Hate Crimes, Affirmative Action, and the ACLU into the grave with it).

[MNnice]

What a condescending creep.

O'Donnell said, ''You'll never, ever get the Republican TV show.''   Would anybody, even a conservative fan of ''South Park'' -- especially a conservative fan of ''South Park'' -- want to watch a sitcom about churchgoing parents with two children who lead an uneventful life and make regular donations to the Fraternal Order of Police?  (Sniff)

Obviously, Anderson knows his audience: this book isn't intended for readers of The Times and The Economist and watchers of CNN.  (double Sniff)

Translation:  "Oh, we are soooo much more sophisticated than these conservative boobs.  Here, let me show you how quaint their thinking is.  Aren't you glad you're not one of those people?"

the advent of a new generation of Americans who refuse to accept public censure for their scornful attitudes toward gay men and lesbians, Native Americans, environmentalism and abortion rights...blah blah blah

That was one incoherent mess. My only comment is that Liesl Schillinger should not write book reviews while drunk.

What is with the term "college dropout"? Bill Gates is a "college dropout" as it Steve Jobs, F Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Ted Turner, Michael Dell, Larry Ellison, Barry Goldwater along with thousands of others including Nina Totenberg.

These are not folks like the sophomoric jester Jim Carrey who couldn't even complete high school which as a society we've generally considered MINIMUM education. There are multitudes of reasons folks do not finish a college or university education. Cost is certainly a factor for many, lack of a challenge, disinterest, family obligations and many other factors may be in play. A degree is not a mark of integrity or intelligence like (perhaps) it once signified.

I'm tired of "college dropout" being used as a slur when you have Ivy League educated MORONS like John Kerry destroying America and university-educated sycophant "journalists" like Katie Couric lapping up socialist bile and acting as shills and transcription services for their leftist brethren.

I know, I know... this is a NYTimes hit piece so I should just ignore it.

Boy, this Liesl Shillinger's really got some sand in his vagina!

pssst... For those of you who don't know, that was a South Park reference...
