what patrick quinn thinks of most of his employer’s customers (a personal apology to jon niccum)
Mr. Niccum is officially displaced as the Journal-World’s insufferable wiener-in-residence, and his category is hereby permanently retired. Furthermore, I apologize to Mr. Niccum for having ever made fun of him (on a forum nobody reads).
Quinn displays his opinion of most of his employer’s customers, in the comments to his hysterical (read: “usual”) article on that thing I said I wouldn’t talk about anymore:
This incident, trivial though it is, has demonstrated again the complete supremacy of the executive branch. Its agents are free to do anything they like to whomever they like w/out fear of legal consequences.
That poor imbecile Scalia was gargling on earlier today about how he’s an “originalist,” which used to infuriate me but now just seems funny. These evil men have established a functional despotism right before our eyes, and pathetic dunces like Scalia think they’re “originalists.” What Mr. Scalia is is one wrong word away from being kicked to the curb as the irrelevancy he and his pathetic colleagues are; in the unlikely event the craven little toad fails to do exactly what he’s told, he’ll be “retired,” and his vacuous fellow “Justices” w/ him.
And all the while the army of drooling slack-jawed sofa soldiers we refer to as “the American electorate” sits mesmerized by American Idol.
You just can’t buy bile like that anymore. Hell, even Kos doesn’t do it any more. Hopefully, the drool stains will come out of Quinn’s black turtleneck.

For what it’s worth, the Lawrence.com blogs are all written by volunteers — so Quinno isn’t getting paid for his crankiness.
Perhaps that’s hair-splitting.

I’d imagine.
