Yeah, a work-blocked video placeholder rectangle is pretty horrific.
Crashman
Does he think he’s cool, dressing all in black like that? Talk about trying too hard.
Cap'n Billy
Well, the slightly untucked shirt and too-tight jeans make for nice accessories on Mr. Kaus …. I heard he raises goats. Has anyone else heard that?
slippy
I stopped playback when the FIRST sentence was “and I can live on $80,000.”
The minute elites start talking about how they can “live on” twice the median American income, I feel my mouth filling up with warm spit.
Punchy
Damn that’s BAAAAHHHd. It’s like he’s talking to the sheeple. He’s goat’ing me into breaking my computer.

@Xecky Gilchrist: Thank the FSM for your workplace’s blocking. I had to look at a picture of Mickey Kaus talking to some dude from Reason magazine. I made sure not to click the play button to avoid further brain damage.

Do not get out of the boat!
Just from the frame grab, I see they could use some help with the lighting.

Well, I started the video with no sound ’cause I’m at work and who wants to hear The Goat F#ckerer anyhow. Anyway, first thing I notice is that it’s 41 minutes long. WTF? There’d have to be a lot of car crashes in this video to make it worth my time, but I’m not gonna bet that there are.

@slippy:
That’s where I stopped. I would kill to make 80 grand a year. And with that kind of scratch, he could afford better fitting pants.
MattF
No no no. Wont. WONT.

@Hunter Gathers:
Eighty grand buys a lotta goats.

I tried. I couldn’t last more than 10 seconds.
Does Amnesty International know about this video?
Perry Como
Dear god. That’s like a year’s worth of douchebaggery compressed into 10 minutes.
sukabi
2 minutes in… that’s enough.
the interviewer wasn’t taking him seriously… first question, response, reply…. paraphrase “you’ll be replaced by illegal mexican bloggers?” and there was another shot involving illegal immigrants within that 2 minute mark… but I’m not going to listen to the whole thing to see if the interviewer makes a comment about anything regarding goats.

@Perry Como:
You’re a generous man, Perry.

forget asymmetric warfare, we’re now up to cultural terrorism! How they gonna reconcile this with their cries of Free Marketz!

When Kaus talks it sounds like he has Gillespie’s balls in his mouth.

Who knew that a video of two men fapping could be safe for work?

Not getting out of the boat. Just no way never not.

Hey! Are they in the Bush Liberry?

Kaus, as compared to Christopher Hitchens.
Hitchens is eloquent, Kaus is inarticulate.
Hitchens is erudite, Kaus is just rude.
Hitchens is a douchebag, Kaus is a dushbag.
Obligatory Roger Clemens reference.

I heard exactly the opposite.

that fucktard mickey kaus is invoking paul wellstone’s imagery for his campaign. my antipathy toward this idiot is visceral and real.

I made it to 1:45. That’s all I could stomach.
Fuck you Cole. It’s lunchtime, goddamnit!

I like the new tags – lots of potential to use as bait, and get the foaming at the mouth Usual Suspects to show up like a puppetmaster. Plain ol’ delicious snark is good too.
middlewest
Oh my god. That worthless piece of shit ripped off Paul Wellstone’s ads!
I want to stuff him in a relief well.
IndieTarheel
Ha! I hovered over the link and saw Kaus’ name. Nice try!

@MBSS: Hah, beaten to the hate-punch.

A goat’s pupils are rectangular.
Their average life span is eight to 12 years.
Worldwide, meat and milk from goats are consumed more than the meat and milk from cows.
Goats can eat up to 8 pounds of green foliage a day.

I lasted about 12.
I need a Scotch and water.

@middlewest:
but i like how you think.

Thirty seconds is all it takes to determine that those are two people you would never ever want to hang out with.
In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if the term “douchebag” was created just for them.

Helen Thomas forced to retire and booted from polite society.
President of Iran, anti-Semites and John Cole hardest hit.

correction:
mickey douche was raised by goats.

Could only make it to 5:00 – there’s 40 minutes of this crap?!? BTW, these guys sound nearly identical – it’s like a super-unpleasant (literaly) babbling brooke.
IndieTarheel
@slag:
I object, on the grounds that douchebags (in their original context) contain a vital commodity and as such perform a useful service.

Although I suppose it could be argued that being a living example of wasted protoplasm is useful too. Just sayin’.

bloggers talking: is there anything more unnecessary ?
besides Phil, above, obviously.

@SiubhanDuinne: Hilarious! And kinda cringeworthy at the same time.

I heard he’s working on human-goat hybrids. He apparently hasn’t succeeded yet, but according to radio Jerewan, the attempts are continuing.

@SRW1:
My understanding is it’s the other way ’round — goats raise him.

What 5 minutes left me with was a wonder that he put a (D) after his name. WTF isn’t he running as a Teabagger?
Edit: Now my brain hurts.
JMC_in_the_ATL
Jesus, Gillespie, if you’re going to insist on dressing like a hipster douchebag half your age, at least learn how to match your blacks.
Giles Goat Boy
Mickey Kaus fucked me in the ass. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
And then he went fucked every other goat in the farmyard — even after telling me that I was the only goat for him. Lying bastard!
Fwiffo
Damn, 42 minutes. I thought the waterboarding thing was hyperbole… I mean, both would lead to life-long emotional scarring, but waterboarding would be over much more quickly. And there would be less chance of permanent physical injury and/or death with the waterboard too.
Brachiator
@Chuck Butcher:
Obviously he is running as a Douchebagger.
There’s a profile of Kaus in today’s LA Times.
He notes that he is running for the Senate in California not because he expects to win, but because he wants to start an argument and hopes to “move the ‘silent majority of moderate Californians.'”
Seriously.
It’s a weird, mercy fuck kind of profile by Robin Abcarian (“hey, you used to be a journalist, and I’m a journalist until they turn the lights out here, so I’ll throw you a freebie”) in which Kaus comes across as a pathetic little weasel groveling for attention.
A few … highlights:
Ruckus
I will not click. I will not click. I will not click.
I like easy voting. Not voting for this clown is one of the easiest. Ever.

What’s the point of him running again?
