Why We Love Rob Long

In the November 15 issue of National Review, Rob reflects upon the Juan Williams debacle. I've been reading this sentence over and over for comic relief all weekend:
From the smug, deluded bunker of NPR, Fox News is a big, greasy, angry, hate-filled state fair, where right-wing nuttery is passed along like deep-fried Twinkies to an obese and ignorant public.
This is so exactly true of NPR and its ardent fans.

Mainly we just love him for his ability to raise a single eyebrow. It's a difficult talent to cultivate. You do actually have to raise two, but as long as one is higher than the other, it passes muster.

So, I think I missed it. Where do I go for the twinkies again?

Re: Why We Love Rob Long
When my 58 Saab wouldn't start one morning and I was late for yoga, fortunately it was a Saturday (btw-kundalini on Sunday night) I called in to the Car Guys. Well those guys must have gone to MIT or something because they immediately identified the problem as a deepfried twinkie that had been jammed into the exhaust by some teabagger. I made the mistake of going to the Safeway on Friday because the Whole Foods parking lot was full. I know that the teabaggers did it because I could see my Kerry Edwards bumpersticker was frayed a little too much. Sabotaged by those cretins !
You think Fox would have helped me ? I bet you have to give them your NRA membership number just to get through the switchboard on their show. Well, I am not going to recite bible verses in order to get to yoga class. Not when I can always call up the OATS bus to come and take me. If we could get a light rail service here, but I guess there aren't enough people and too many bridle paths.

Yes, I should have said that this is simply one of many reasons why we love Mr. Long.
Re: Why We Love Rob Long
Full disclosure: you can't see it in the photograph, but the eyebrow is stapled in place.
Ursula, you're too kind!

Rob, as always, is a repository of modesty. There are no staples. But, as revealed in the pages of the Weekly World News, Rob is actually half Vulcan and his office placed on the Paramount lot so that he could mingle among the Trekkers anonymously.
