It was already awkward that the guy was talking about Rove's weight at all, but Wolf Blitzer's comment really did make the situation really deliciously awkward. I'm sure the cameramen were desperately trying to avoid eye contact with each other.
Atrios is a great writer, and a better writer now than when he started blogging. He doesn't get enough credit for his writing. Reading him really is a treat.
He's a quite admirable person, an example to bloggers everywhere.
No negative judgement of honkies' looks, as such, is assumed or implied by my comment on Atrios' appearance. Many honkies are very attractive, for example Cate Blanchett.
I think you mean "torch carrying".

And to think I used to pay the equivalent of $60 a month to have access to shit like that!
Yeah, I also used to get 43 home and garden channels, 21 property shoes, top-class soccer matches and Fox News, but I really don't miss my dish.
I do sort of miss The Factor, though, but with popcorn rather than falafel, because, you know, ...

Maybe Rove really has lost weight (nervousness about impending indictments can do that).

In his private moments, Wolf Blitzer dreams of nuzzling Karl's tummy with his beard.

He's also reasonably good looking.

Though very honkyish. The facts are the facts.
