1. I have every confidence...

That Josh will chew Bareback Andy up and spit him out, with malice aforethought and sneering contempt.

Of course, all couched in the refined prose we have come to expect out of Josh. ;-)

Bareback Andy is so...then. Josh is still on his way up.

On Edit: He did, and he did it in about three paragraphs. Right at the top of the page. Does Josh sleep?

Sullivanus Laughibalis. I’d heard that Andrew Sullivan was preparing a “counterblast” to my recent writings on the ‘imminent threat’ ridiculousness. Well, now it’s up. And you can see it here: "Marshall Comes Up Empty".

Most revealing nugget: Sullivan found the direct quotations chosen by TPM readers so weak, skewerable, and unconvincing that he fails to quote, mention or even make reference to any of them.

Imagine that.

(Also note the funny-business with the Rumsfeld quote.)

3. Josh knows how to slap down Queen Andy

Andy always fires blanks, but Josh returns fire with several well placed nukes.
