Just looking in hopes he is dead. BTW. The name is Ross Douchehat.

Thanks for the warning.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

From Stone Mountain of Georgia, to Lookout Mountain of Tennessee, and from every hill and molehill of Mississippi... you can hear the people cry, "Give us more Douthat!"

"From the Golden Gate to the rocky coast of Maine..."

hopefully they pair him up with Shrek

😂

It's very funny that Bari Weiss, of all people, doesn't understand that "working at the NYT and having access to their audience" is not the same as "has an audience."

From one benighted, whorish, for profit, bothsidist, whataboutist, pro-russian, corporate, propaganda outlet, to another one. This is the very definition of a lateral move.

That “man” is repugnant!

Another reason not to watch.

Can’t wait for the new epic fantasy segments!

Folks, you’re gonna wanna read the screenshot of Douthat’s writing in this thread. I encourage you not to do that. I liked the world better when I had not experienced reading that excerpt.

The man has a face made for carrier pigeon.

Who wouldn’t want to gaze at this in close up

Hilariously bad idea. So very weiss.

I imagine that he'll get the Andy Rooney time on the show. Maybe devoted to answering viewer mail? "Well, let's see what's in my Douth-bag this week..."

His tv presence and personality have been called riveting and engaging by critics like his mother.

60 min may exceed the necessary--even with commercials

The cowbell of political news

He has a face for radio as the saying goes

They’ll get 10s of viewers, how exciting!

Who?

Q: how do we increase our viewership, particularly among the coveted 18-35 demo? A:

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Peak male performance!

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Douthat is interesting in that he is 46 but looks like he is somehow 12 and 63 at the same time

Ответ для John Adler

That's how he writes—and has for decades

Ответ для John Adler

That's what the demon rum will do to you.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

"Today's audiences think 60 Minutes is out of touch. I know just the man to show them we understand their concerns"

Ответ для Jamison Foser

I never noticed this before but Ross Douthat looks like the "after" photo in a PSA about the dangers of online gambling

Ответ для Jamison Foser

this is an actual paragraph -- I swear I am not making this up -- from Ross Douthat's 2005 book "Privilege." After Douthat published this, the New York Times hired him. www.wonkette.com/p/misogynist...

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Thanks, I was hoping I might puke today

Ответ для Jamison Foser

That poor woman

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Jamison I liked my life better before I read that screenshot

Ответ для Jamison Foser

i too never needed to know this existed

Ответ для Caryn Rose

how is this excerpt not grounds for banishment to an underground cave

Ответ для Caryn Rose

I must emphasize that writing like this helped Douthat get hired as the youngest full time columnist at the New York Times prior to his 30th birthday

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Said this about one of Douthat's colleagues, but it's true for him too:

Greg Greene (he/him/his)

What’s ironic is that Bret Stephens, whatever he tells himself, earned little of the success he has. Bret is a poster child for how the most pervasive brand of affirmative action in U.S. discourse is quota hiring for middle-wit conservatives.

Ответ для Greg Greene (he/him/his)

not to mention, of course, ross's new boss

Ответ для Jamison Foser

even if i could figure out the kind of shtick that would get me a plum national gig i wouldn't be able to keep it up this long.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

I had no idea the bar was this low.

Ответ для Caryn Rose

We Olds had to experience it real time, it's only fair that we inflict it on the Youngs

Ответ для Jamison Foser

We are same year at college and I read the book in the store juuuuust out of curiosity….and realized we definitely ran in different circles

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Boy did she dodge a potential ‘I think I am actually a lesbian’ experience.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

so he's a self-loathing Ivy League incel?

Ответ для Jamison Foser

With whom will the New York Times replace Ross Douthat? 1) Chris Rufo 2) Richard Hanania 3) Matt Yglesias 4) Richard Hanania bsky.app/profile/oliv...

Yes

A duck trained to peck at a soundboard loaded with stock phrases clipped from Douthat's past interviews

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Feel like Rufo would appear in NYT less if he was writing for them. Might also have to take a paycut.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Elizabeth Bruenig

This is the favorite imo

Ответ для Compassion Reigns Supreme

Uh why would they bring her back

Ответ для SM

Funny I always think of her what five years at wapo was she actually staff at nyt?? Wild

Ответ для Troy

Then the Atlantic replaces her w Hanania

Ответ для Troy

Somehow I feel the NYT would not replace a marquee male with a female, no matter how fascist.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Why would he need replacing, dude works like 5 hours a week

Ответ для Jamison Foser
Ответ для Jamison Foser

Rufo seems to fit with the cast of characters on the WaPo obit page, but that said, Rufo is the man. Lord help us all.

Ben Domenech probably has lots of, um, pre-written takes in the can.

Does Ross have a sister?

They could just publish a picture of a turd instead and be done with it. A different turd every time, mind you, the New York Times has standards. 🧐

But truly, is there a greater conservative achievement than gazing upon Buckley's shriveled up balls?

Ответ для Jamison Foser

literally lol'd

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Explains the Times. Their opinion editors are morons.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

The skinny dipping was Buckley’s m.o. with young men

Ответ для Jamison Foser

@jamisonfoser.bsky.social Pretty hot for such a conservative Catholic writer. (He was on Fr. Jim Martin’s podcast and was an erudite, very chatty guest — which doesn’t fit (for me) with his constipated essays hearkening back to 1950’s religion).

Ответ для Jamison Foser

many people are saying it will be T-Chat and it's true he definitely has a better shot than Yglesias, who I included primarily as ragebait

Ответ для Jamison Foser

No chance at all that they’d pick someone remotely good huh?

Ответ для Winnie Frolik

no!

Ответ для Jamison Foser

I mean I wouldn’t even insist on a liberal pundit. Would settle for a decent science journalist or someone with a record for proper city journalism but I don’t think we’re gonna get either

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Feels like Rufo already is their editorial director

I didn't need another reason to never watch CBS. Thanks anyway, I guess.

Thomas Chatterton Williams. If only because I can’t think of anyone worse right now.

The bump in salary must be significant.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

A pious 11 year old altar boy with a room temperature IQ and zero sense of hour the world works.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Yglesias is too liberal for the roster slot. They’ll hire him to replace kristof or someone like that. Hanania is probably ideal from the nyt management point of view.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Every word of this is sickening

Is Nick Fuentes literate?

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Omg no No I never wanted to read that. Reading that was not anything I wanted to do 😭

Ответ для Jamison Foser

how many problems could we have avoided if straight men in the late 1990s were told that if you're not attracted to a woman, that doesn't mean there's something wrong with her or you. sometimes the chemistry's off and you don't have to make a whole thing about it

Ответ для Jamison Foser

my god that's terrible 'writing'

Ответ для Jean Paul Satire™

That's not writing. That's typing.

Anything sexual, I think, but there's no antecedent, so in addition to making me want to vomit, the paragraph also makes me want to get out my red pen.

Instead of swirlies, kids at my grade school were garbage canned (tossed into a garbage can with arms/legs sticking out, a la upside-down turtle). I don't know why I'm thinking about that right now

Wow what a, um, stud? Nice guy? Weirdo? I think weirdo.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Why on earth did I read that?? 😖

Ответ для Jamison Foser

How vividly I remember that. To this day I refer to Douthat as Chunky Reese Witherspoon.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

exciting to see a new generation exposed to this horror

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Glad I’m not the only person who immediately thought of this today

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Douthat: "Now..if Milton Friedman had been rockin' my world, I would have been as hard as stale nougat..."

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Kill the mood? Celice underwear will do that. 🙄 Egads! Content warning ya'll!

At the very least, credit Wonkette and leave a few bad puns there.

Eek. And people wanted to read his wet dream? Yuck.

"The Decadent Society" sounds really cool until you realise the stress is on the third word not the second. This isn't some absinthe saturated sybarite's club where slim volumes of French poetry are read and obscure weights of hashish are consumed. It's just a middle aged man moaning.

I doubt that will do it

Until today, I had no idea what he looked like. I thought he sounded like an asshat, shoulda known he looked like one too.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

How old is this picture? He looks much more palatable than he is…

Ответ для Jamison Foser

I thought he was at least 60.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

Bari's really got her finger on the pulse.

Ответ для Jamison Foser

@jamisonfoser.bsky.social oh good grief

🤮

compelling screen presence

I hope he does more debates! bsky.app/profile/park...

Parker Molloy

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it. What? x.com/sethharpesq/...

Bari has rightly determined that Ross is just too pretty to be wasted in a text-only column with a tiny author photo. CBS news viewers are tired of trustworthy experienced journalists, they are demanding more chubby balding chauvinist manchildren, and by god Bari is going to make sure they get them.

Omgosh, I saw something about this earlier and thought the person was making a joke.

We crave it like we crave explosive diarrhea

Now we’ll be able hate his doughy face while simultaneously hating his claggy verbalizations.
