Neo-Continetti (again)

[Ian David]

It's possible that no one is wishing their youth away more than Matthew Continetti, the associate editor of the Weekly Standard. Under the current Army standards he will be eligible to serve until the year 2024. As we showed last week, when a gentleman phoned C-SPAN to call him a "coward", Mr. Continetti doesn't seem anxious to join The War he vehemently 'supports'. Then, just when his budding chickenhawk feathers were beginning to sprout once again, Hardball's Chris Matthews plucked them off.



Chris Matthews "If you were vulnerable to the draft right now you would have a much less frisky attitude about this war than you might have now."

Don't worry, Mr. Continetti, I assure you that time moves quickly. You'll be 42 years of age and no longer eligible to serve before you know it. But, hey, if Our Country does once again employ The Draft there's always deferments or Canada. I'm sure many of those in the current administration can send you information on how to avoid service if this be the case.

Hat tip to Heather.

1. How old is he?

He looks awfully young to be the associate editor of a major magazine.

I can acknowledge that some conservatives have a sharp intellect, but I have not been impressed by him.

2. His primary qualification is smug, unadulterated, and unearned arrogance

I agree that every time he opens his mouth he sounds like a know-nothing motherfucker, but the way he says it - with an air of craptastic self-assurance - is of utmost importance, for it is supremely attractive to Daddy-loving conservative audiences, who only really want to be told what to do by people who think they're shit.
