Atrios: Gossip time --- George Will

[AnnInLa]

I didn't know this, and find it mildly amusing: Atrios quotes Alterman:

Rumors of a relationship between the self-declared 'thoroughly married' George Will and Lally Weymouth, globetrotting reporter, daughter of Post owner Katherine Graham,and former main squeeze of Left executioner Alexander Cockburn, were initially dismissed by Washington wags as too good to be true. When the rumors panned out and Will left his wife and children to buy a $990,000 house a few blocks away from his family in Chevy Chase only to see, according to the Washingtonian, his office furniture left on his front lawn with a note reading "Take it somewhere else, Buster," the cocktail party circuit exploded. Will and Weymouth both denied that the relationship had been romantic and threatened to sue the Washingtonian. The magazine offered to write a correction if it would be allowed to investigate the matter and interview Will's friends. The matter was dropped there....

Since breaking off with Weymouth, Will apparently found love again with former Reagan White House communications worker Mari Maseng, thirteen years his junior. The couple was married in Will's home on October 12, 1991.

3. Um it appears to be pretty old news. Will is a pinhead regardless of his personal life.

Check out George, in his latest column, establishing equivalence between Paul Krugman and Ann Coulter. The column is about the "fashion" of anger and indignation in modern political discourse, without making any mention of angry RightWing talk radio and other media creating this culture, or the very valid reasons for indignation at the current administration.

Yes, that's right, you read right. Paul Krugman. And Ann Coulter.

There are the tantrums -- sometimes both theatrical and perfunctory -- of talking heads on television or commentators writing in vitriol (Paul Krugman's incessant contempt, Ann Coulter's equally constant loathing).

4. Hey George...

two can play that game...

How about equating a certain effete, frustrated pseudo Cub fan, bow-tied conservative schmuck writer for Newsweek and Conservative apologist on ABC with George Stephanopoulos with...(drum roll): former bow-tied, loudmouth undereducated and underinformed loutish threatening-video-store-clerks-tough-guy conservative apologist Tucker Carlson?

...or Andrew Sullivan, since he likes self-promoters with a wing down (George has a retarded son, whose condition he used to trot out a lot when it served him well in the old days).
