...about those among Obama's camp followers, up to and including Andrew Sullivan, who were pushing "baby-gate," is that they really seemed to believe that it would reflect badly on Sarah Palin if the rumors that Trig was really her grandson were true!
As so often, Steve Sailer got this exactly right.
Bottom line: even if the rumor-mongers had been right, they would have ended up looking like a bunch of jerks. And if they'd been wrong, they would have ended up looking like an even bigger bunch of jerks. Therefore (assuming the law of the excluded middle) they could only have ended up looking like a bunch of jerks.

Oh, and on a personal note - Andrew Sullivan is now giving Justin Raimondo a run for his money in the (highly competitive) "most egregious jack-ass I have ever met" competition.

I'm betting on Sullivan.

It wouldn't be the first time Sullivan found himself deep in sh** :-)

Thanks for that lovely image, Dr. Beckwith.

You should have seen the one I DIDN'T post. Here's a hint: it mentions bears. :-) And we ain't talkin' the polar sort either.

Standards, standards. I'm with Steve and Jeff Culbreath.

I honestly don't get it. You'll need to give me another hint as I haven't looked at pornography in 20 years.

Perhaps it wasn't the right kind of pornography? C'mon, Dr. Beckwith, help a brother out! Another hint!

Well, I get it, and you don't want to know. And it has nothing to do with Dr. Beckwith's supposed field of expertise.
