Not brief enough.

The mind boggles. Mine, at least.

Kevin Drum, who I generally like, has decided to run a contest to determine the all-time most wingnuttiest blog post. With superhuman discernment he has managed to narrow the field to fourteen. All neo-cons and all quite… uh, wingnutty.
The posts themselves are, for the most part, unremarkable and what you would expect from their respective authors. More interesting is the way the various ‘nominees’ are reacting, or, not reacting.
Kim DuToit, who is actually coherent, blusters:
Actually, Drum’s post just highlights what a pathetic bunch of losers our modern-day liberals really are, that they would create a silly poll like this one. It is, as they say, to laugh.
Reaction on his blog is negligible but maybe he can gather a few more links for his Pussification masterpiece. Everyone has to be known for something.
Den Beste, an old school geek loon, has made no response at all. He has bravely decided to drop his post down the memory hole.
Someone with his geek cred should have learned that the web has a long memory and there is a copy of his bizarre essay readily available. Then again, Den Beste’s stardates are really cute and his grasp of history and foreign policy is unmatched by any of the other anime fans in his D&D group.
Ann Althouse couldn’t care less. The new meds must be kicking in and she is busy taking pretty pictures and rehashing some squabble with John (or Juan, I can never tell them apart) Cole.
John Hinderaker makes no mention of Drum’s ‘contest’ on Power Line, but if I had to pick a winner, it’s all John. It doesn’t get much crazier than:
It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.
Malkin, Reynolds, Derbyshire, and Hewitt are also, so far, silent.
My eyes have started to bleed and I can’t look at any more of these sites — maybe someone can study why right-wing sites are almost universally ugly — but I don’t think Drum is getting the reaction he wanted.
Hang in there, Kevin. Some right-wing weblog will copy this and cherry pick examples of left-wing lunacy for us to laugh at and generate the traffic and ham-fisted commenting that you, for some unfathomable reason, seem to want.
