The Spectacle Blog

Back along, Tabin noted Commentary may have been setting the bar a bit low regarding its hope for its very fine Contentions blog. I was reminded of this as I giggled through the following exchange in the comments section of a Jennifer Rubin post:

franglo Says:

  1. Hey Jennifer, do you ever get tired of your role as a two-bit shill for the GOP? Why don't you just donate $20 to the McCain campaign and try to find a productive way to spend your time?

  2. Laura Says:

    Dude. If you don't like the stuff here, go find your free ice cream elsewhere, or better yet, make some yourself. No need to be a dick.

I offer this as if I'm not part of the low-brow problem: Maybe Gelernter had a point?
