Over the weekend, Dave Weigel resigned as WaPo's house chronicler of conservatives after revelations of his antipathy toward the people he was covering. Tonight brings us the spectacle of Ross Douthat, an ostensibly conservative columnist at the New York Times. Appearing on MSNBC's Ed Schultz show, Douthat proffered precisely zero criticism of anyone or anything liberal. But he did manage to mock Mike Huckabee as "passive-aggressive." For good measure, Douthat suggested that "right-wing" people who question Barack Obama's place of birth are too dense to realize that Hawaii is a state of the union.
The Nation's Chris Hayes subbed for Schultz tonight, and he didn't have to strain to elicit criticism of conservatives from Douthat. After playing a clip of Huckabee stating the apparent fact that he polls better than other Republicans against Obama, Douhat opined.

I just love that every time one of these lefties say something like this another person relaizes they are crazy and becomes a conservative!
....groan....
Levin is going to love this.
A very interesting turn of events: at first, the Dems would not allow even one syllable to be uttered about this subject; now they seem to bring it up themselves all the time, as in "bring it on."
They are putting out a huge show of confidence on the subject.
It sounds like this Douthat (as opposed to Dontdouthat) character is a real moron. He’s probably related to that crazy Milwaukee council woman who thinks Arizona is somewhere up around Utah, Michigan or Idaho.
Like Teddy used to do with Chappaquiddick stories. (Yes, he really did!)
I don’t believe that Obama was born in this country; I know that Hawaii is a state; I’m as right-wing as right-wing can be — and I’m twice as intelligent as that fish-faced enemy of the people!
It's almost the reverse of a bell ringing whenever an angel gets his wings in It's a Wonderful Life. :=)
Left wingers in Milwaukee don’t know Arizona adjoins Mexico.
Asshat is worse than the other queer at the Times who pretends to be a conservative.
The president’s mistake on the count of states is not surprising in that there 57 members in the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC). This is a number that would stick with a muslim just as 50 states sticks with a USA citizen.
Flush it!
.
Was Kenya a state too (one of the 57 maybe) because O's father was Kenyan. Ergo./..O was NOT natural born!
Unfortunately it is true that they are a US state. I wish it were not true. One of the most corrupt liberal cess pools on the face of the earth. And they brought us this president by being corrupt enough to pretend on the Birth Certificate issue, and hide the truth.
I think we can all agree that any dinosaur media outlet with a so called conservative is lying. These people are obvious lefty plants. When ever the rubber hits the road, they always fall on the wrong side of the issues. They can’t help bringing there lefty sympathies that are inherent in them in.
WTF?
This doesn't even make sense. Regardless, this jackass is no conservative, so he can go F himself...
Left wingers in Milwaukee would answer 3-to-1 “no” to the question “Does the combustion of hydrogen in oxygen result in water?”.
Douthat is a fairly new writer who coined the term ‘crunchy cons’ (meaning environmentalist - trendy conservatives) a couple of years ago. He is definitely in the Brooks, Parker, Noonan, Frum school of Obama friendly ‘conservatives’.
What an idiot.
