Influential Conservative Matt Labash Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha (Riehl Defends Palin)
Riehl World View ^ | March 14, 2011 | Dan Riehl

Honestly, in almost eight years out here, if there's a name I see here and about rather infrequently because it's associated with someone whose efforts never seem to be broadly acknowledged, or widely linked with any regularity, it's Matt Labash. He must make good coffee as I see he's been with the Weakly Standard for a while.

The name floats by on Twitter occasionally, if anything, causing me to wonder, who the hell is that guy, when it does. Frankly, I've never bothered to find out ... before now. So his beyond sophomoric to pitifully stupid and inaccurate shot at Sarah Palin is priceless, if insignificant. I wonder if Kristol will give him an extra fifteen minutes for lunch for a week, given that he provided the headline for Palin-obsessed Jonathan Martin's latest hit piece on her.

The money quotes:

"Palin doesn't rush in to localities. She doesn't take up individuals as causes, file lawsuits, or promote herself outrageously like Sharpton. There simply is no comparison at all. It was purely a mechanism for Labash to flatter himself and try to impress ... friends, not say anything at all relevant to Sarah Palin."

"When you boil it all down, Labash and company talk to the inside the Beltway set and a relatively small number of individuals who give certain campaigns money."

Matt LaBash is a liberal loon. He is the Dave Wiegel of the Weekly Standard, a leftwing plant.

He will soon show up on Politico and be listed as a long-time writer for the WS, as cover to bash conservatives, the Tea Party and Palin. Bank on it.

Matt Labash's ,ahem, "column" for the Daily Caller is one of the most sophomoric, unfunny, attempts at "observation" humor ever attempted. It is on par with what you would find in a student newspaper at a third rate university.

At the risk of engaging in class-based rhetoric, "Skippy" Labash should see if someone at Daddy's club can get him a gig better suited to his strictly pedestrian talent.
