...when I read this:

"In every war, there's conflict between hawks and doves. O'Donnell and Hasselbeck's fight harkens back to a Vietnam-era exchange between liberal Gore Vidal and conservative William Buckley."

Did someone at ABC News really write that with a straight face?

[Update a few minutes later]

You know, I can't figure out which comparison is more ludicrous--Rosie and Gore Vidal (well, at least they're both gay), or William Buckley and Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Somehow, when I think Elizabeth Hasselbeck, the word "sesquipedalian" is not the first one that comes to mind. Actually, over the last couple days, I would probably associate her with fatwas.

The gay-faced writer will later respond with the dove line.

Thanks for increasing my vocabulary! ^_^

The dict.org dictionaries give contrary definitions: in 1913 it meant short (only one and a half foot) and in 2003 it means overly long.

Rosie asked to end her contract with "The View" early. S-s-s-s-s-ee ya! Fire doesn't melt steel and debate doesn't erode ignorance. And all that jazz.
