I’ve never been a fan of Kirsten Powers, unlike some on the right who think being pretty, fairly articulate and blond are indications of moderation in a Democrat. I liked her less after reading the second life hit piece attacking John Edwards, which occurred scant hours before Edwards Second Life HQ was defaced by “Republican” virtual thugs. But just when I thought I couldn’t like her less, she hires on a co-blogger who writes such thought provoking and entertaining articles as In Praise of the Nanny State and Don’t Impeach Bush. Impeach Cheney! which are as vicious and juvenile as the Edwards hit piece, but nowhere near as interesting.

The new blogger responsible for such comedic genius is Peter Feld who is also known by the clever title Ambitious Heckler. Aside from a PhD in something or the other he has once edited an indy (white) Hip-Hop magazine called Mugshot. Mugshot? Hmmmm.

Why would a Hip-Hop magazine be called Mugshot? Oh, I get it, it’s because Black folk get arrested a lot. Ha Ha Ha. Peter and Kirsten aren’t racists at all.

Well, Peter puts a nice picture in his post, you know, to illustrate his point. So while he’s literally praising nanny statism, yes praising the concept of a nanny state, he puts a little pic up of Mary Poppins, who I guess was, like Feld, some sort of fascist. He’s also nice enough provide links to all the other places where he wrote similar pieces praising the ability of community college educated bureaucrat to better raise children then the children’s own parents. After all you can never get enough Peter Feld.

The upside; maybe a few more pieces by Feld articulating the “moderate” Democratic view will sober up all the lovesick Conservatives out there gazing longingly at Powers with puppy dog eyes and giving her nonsense a pass because she’s a “good” Democrat.

Or maybe she’ll fire Peter Feld. Either way, I’d be happy.
