’)The supposedly nonpartisan and nonconservative Glenn Reynolds has made an endorsement for Republican majority leader in the House, which we all know is the sort of thing nonpartisan folks do all the time.

Democrats Pass Health Care Reform, To Be Signed By Obama
I suspect (although he has not replied to my question) that James Wolcott
removed Wonkette from his blogroll because she had Instapusillanimous
guest blog the other day. His appearance there was unremarkable, as most
of his posts are, because he lacks the passion of his convictions.
He links or refers to a quote then says little, ostensibly because he
wants to remain above the fray. But make no mistake, he is no moderate.
He is right of center
Really, what do you have against Glenn? If you read his stuff, you will see that he is in no way whatsover the lock-step republican you and your commentors make him out to be. Powerline or Hannity he ain’t, and thats just the plain truth. And do you really see anything wrong with a blogger expressing his opinion regarding this type of issue? He’s gathered with a group of bloggers who are attempting to throw a little bit of weight around in the “race” to be majority leader, and he’s backing the guy he believes in most. BFD.
nawoods;
The best I can say of him is he is a pragmatist, but he really pretends to
center more so than his suggestive comments and innuendo would
suggest. His ‘plausible deniability’ as to republican talking points are
masked by issues that are ancillary to key republican issues. They are
right from the playbook.
I’ve got no problem with partisans, I myself am a proud partisan. I have a problem with people who present themselves as objective when they’ve got an agenda and the media reports on those people without noting their agenda.
I like that two sentences puts me “into a lather”. The guy is the most visible blogger, quoted regularly, he also happens to be a disingenous, dishonest, partisan. When he stops representing himself as an angel, I’ll stop telling the truth about him.
No Jay, but people who aren t partisans usually aren t making party endorsements, are they?
Who the hell cares? All Glenn said was, ” Shadegg is the only one who seems like a plausible agent for reform” and that puts you into a lather.
Jeebus man. You people have a frigging boner for Reynolds that’s the size of a redwood. Get over it already.
No Jay, but people who aren’t partisans usually aren’t making party endorsements, are they? I was endorsing Harold Ford for Dem leader in the House because I’m… wait for it…. a partisan Democrat.
Cleo,
Perhaps Walcott was pissed that Anne Marie decided to pass her keyboard over to a stringer.

So a person makes an endorsement for majority leader in the party that represents that majority in the House.
What, was he supposed to endorse a candidate in the minority party to be majority leader?
Cripes.
When has Glenn ever said he was not a partisan? EVERYONE is a partisan. It’s that Insta isn’t a Republican that has your panties in a bunch.
Instaindependent in name only.
The guy is the most visible blogger, quoted regularly, he also happens to be a disingenous, dishonest, partisan.
Oh please. Anybody who doesn’t worship at the altar of Howard Dean is all of the above to you.
