o - this is Eric’s *** before going to jail.
O - this is Eric’s *** after a night in jail.

I can think of two ways to make that better:

. - this is Eric’s *** before going to jail.
O - this is Eric’s *** after a night in jail.

-- OR --

O - this is Eric’s *** before going to jail.
O - this is Eric’s *** after a night in jail.

This guy is a throwback to the hard-core commies of the thirties. He is dour, arrogant and nver in doubt about the wisdom of his thoughts.

Is there any chance that he could get the death penalty for this crime? It is, after all, the Live Free or Die state.

Eric Alterman Is the Aging-Lefty Lindsay Lohan
Lloyd Grove

Is Eric Alterman spinning out of control? After his arrest last night at the Democratic presidential debate in New Hampshire, where the cops cuffed him in a gymnasium “spin room” at Manchester’s St. Anselm College and hauled him down to the police station for allegedly trespassing at a private party, maybe Alterman’s friends and family should be concerned that he’s becoming the aging-pundit answer to Lindsay Lohan. The lefty commentator has a taste for mayhem, if only, until now, of the verbal variety. Over the past two decades, worried Alterman watchers have felt growing alarm as his pugnacity and all-around contrariness have escalated to potentially aneurysm-inducing levels. Indeed, when this reporter once shared a subway ride with him from the Upper West Side, he announced: “I am so fucking angry about the war in Iraq, I think I’m going to explode.” This reporter’s reply: “That’s fine, Eric, but if you’re going to explode, do you mind waiting till I get off the train?”

people got on Miller’s case for it, but I thought it was just about the level of respect Alterman deserved.

Cammie,

You may have not seen it when Alterman was on CSPAN with Ramesh Ponnoru and he chopped and diced him politically like it was a Ginsu knife commercial....

It was brutal and beautiful at the same time. 10 times worse than what Brit Hume does to Juan Williams.

Tim Russert and Chris Matthews looked at him like he was insane.

Nice to know you can 'git' a Ph.D. in United States History without learning how the Electoral College functions...

Toilet paper is worth more than some of the hi skool diplomas and kollidge decrees that are out there. :-)
