[natnam] clarification of disgust: reality-based communities

So as you know I have been spending way too much time floating around in the bloggy ether of the left, which is the source of my [natnam] entries. I just wanted to clarify, for no particular reason except that I haven't seen it mentioned in the bloggy etherleft (on which this article is making some serious rounds), that in my opinion the really unstomachable part of that excerpt I posted from Suskind's NY Times piece about the faith-based presidency (the faith referred to being the president's faith in himself, of course) is the fact that anyone, in any situation, having been told by someone, ''Look, I want your vote. I'm not going to debate it with you," would actually then go on to give the person their vote.

I have an exhibition of human body parts to go see right now (honestly!) so I am going to restrain myself from going on a long bout of outrage that I would probably just erase afterwards anyway, but I will let you know if I see someone finally start selling the t-shirts that the bloggy ether of the left has been joking about, the ones with the slogan, "proud member of the reality-based community."
