Two zombie posts in on day! Can ice cream be far behind?

Honestly, I say this with much appreciation for your efforts, but you guys act like the biggest pussies on those Bloggingheads when you face off with your "lefty friends." That last one with Suderman and Potts was disasterously painful to watch.

The only one of you who should be squaring off with the liberals is Nick. And shouldn't you guys be "panelists" on the libertarian Bill Maher's show? Are you on waiting lists for Rachel and Keith's shows? Any invites for the Intelligence Squared debates (if you can call them that now that they're on Bloomberg)?

Some are good and some are bad...If you come away with they always suck then you are either cherry picking or missed the good ones.

Anyway i think this is the first Moynihan one i have seen posted and i am looking forwad to after work and seeing how he does.

Please, do tell. Which one with a lefty, the ones I cited, were worth a crap? The one with Ezra's hottie girlfriend? The one with Welch and the Michelle Goldberg? The last one Suderman did was horrible.

I didn't say they were all bad at all. Some of the ones with conservatives have been pretty good. I just think they let the lefties get away with that talking point bullshit. After watching Gillespie do some ball busting on Stossel and Number 9's show, I'd like to see him do one with a lefty. One with Ed Schultz would be entertaining.

Admittedly, this is weak, but check out the videos with Megan McCardle, a Reason-ite via marriage, who usually delivers. The chick just won't back down and drives the commenters nuts, which is always a good sign.

But yeah, the Reason men are getting kind of soft...

Communism/Socialism/Fascism/Progressivism/Nazism ain't the same thing (hence the different names), but they ain't exactly polar opposites to each other.

Kissing cousins, maybe?

Kissing cousins? Arrest them if they're the same sex! It's fair and equal, right Steve?

[Steve]

Only if there's tongue...;)

Genetically identical quintuplets raised by the same parents.

Why does your libertarian "hero" got against little, ole me?

[Ken Shultz]

I say we all pitch in and buy Adam Serwer a decent headset.

It'll be at least another ten years before that's retro.
