The Douthat version is a comedy? Who'd've thought it possible? And I just said the other day (forget where, of course) that conservatives are incapable of anything involving wit. Of course, maybe this is just the exception to the rule.
Gotta say; this post was epic. (Should be the freebie of the week.)

"-Sleepy Biden’s crackhead son” Oh shit is this ever funny !
I read Douthat's tweet the other day. I could only conclude he masterbates to cartoons. Not that good wholesome anime stuff with tentacles and such the like either- Disney stuff. That's weird. Really weird.
What is a “miasmic” villain? Is this some odd reference to coronavirus? I guess I’ll have to rewatch “The Mask” to see if it presages an invisible pandemic. “The Mist”? “Nacht und Nebel”?
Props for the "Crusader armor with giant codpieces" touch: the white supremacists are obsessed with the Templars and the Crusades. My GM-sense would add that they say: "Deus Vult" as well.
So.

"conservatives are incapable of anything involving wit" could rightly be writ as "conservatives are culpable for anything involving twits"
You’re killing it, Roy. “Is this a bulldagger I see before me?” LOL
Always amazing to see all the many and varied ways Douthat et. al. attempt to intellectualize the premise MOAR WHITE BABBIES
(And Fleance gets renamed Flounce)
"Pale Douthat's offerings..."
The last line is a direct quote, it has to be.
Also, I suddenly really want to see Douthat's Hamlet, because it would likely be very revealing.
Or his Romeo and Juliet with the happy ending -- they marry and have 10 kids.
or "happy ending"
with 3 there's egg roll
So, who'd Rod,er, Russ cast for Lady Mac? Sharon Stone? Streep??
Left uncast. No room for strong female characters in Rod/Russ world.
I suspect "henpecked" is a word they think frequently, though.
I think Rod with a long-haired wig. She would look like Nigel from the Young Ones
RuPaul.
Mamie Van Doren?
Isn't she dead? Not that they couldn't bring her back in the film form
Reese Witherspoon auditioned, but he told her she wouldn't be scary enough unless she put on some weight.
Rosanne Barr?
Glamis needs a domestic goddess.
Probably Gina Carano.

Yikes. Glad I am immune to the modern world...
I love this: "Carano was quickly fired from The Mandalorian and the Star Wars universe more generally..."
Jeez, how do you get fired from a whole goddamn universe? That's how you know she REALLY fucked up.
I know, right? She must be praying that string theory holds up...
Hell no, Douthat's casting her as the kid Malcolm, the hero of legitimate monarchy.
A Potato Head with a pipe and a purse
Mrs Potatohead—Scottish dominatrix outfit sold separately
Whatever goes on in the rectory
By law cannot be incorrectory
The papists get papery
The japists get japery
But they shrug it all off genuflectory
And they clean it all up in post-production...
Nice!
Damn. Worth the price of admission for that first paragraph alone.
Is this a hypodermic which I see before me,
The needle toward my arm? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, Fauci, sensible
To feeling as to sight?
Inflationary bubble
Toil and trouble
The English Lit majors are absolutely crushing it today – well done!
I think Fauci and his warnings would fall into the “dagger of the mind, a false creation” category for this crew.
Oh, you just wait til us Engineering grads get a chance to... never mind.
Spot on. Remember the olden days when conservatives thought postmodernism was going to destroy everything? They sure love it now!
When they realized they could destroy everything with post-modernism, they decided that it was to love

Do Lear next featuring the Trump family
"I could only conclude he masterbates to cartoons" One would suppose!
It would be irresponsible not to speculate!
Rule 34, verse 12
Spoiler: Eric is Cordelia
"We two alone will sing like birds i’ the cage”
Sounds like Ivanka to me!
You're an exile reunited with your father, and he's DJT? And you're Eric? You're sick man, sick!
You can make people have quite incredible bodies in comics. Look at Jessica Rabbit, eta: or Ben Garrison's Trump

A villain surrounded by a funky smell
I am Miasmo! Smell my miasmism, and obey!
The movie Forbidden Planet has the best miasmic villain EVER.
The Stench (1991)
Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead and the unborn person-fetuses
Are but as pictures
Since Lucas has sold the franchise to Disney, I hope we can look forward to “Star Wars Macbeth: Something Wookie This Way Comes.”
WOOKIE MACBETH: Rrrfwawhrr rrfrwahrr rrfwawhrr
Rhoowr whrooooar hrrrrowrrr rrrrrhhaaahrrr!
Yarrrghhh ruuuhhh hooowrarhh
Rahrahhnnnfrawr rerrharrrr ruhrerrrehhh.
HAN: I don't *care* if it's a tale told by an idiot, Wookie Macbeth,
Just punch the hyperdrive or there won't BE a tomorrow!
This is the best shit right here yo

Google “henry viii armor codpiece”
Sonja Henie's tutu!
Well, Deus vult as well as the next guy...
nice
Another banger, Roy.
Like I keep saying, we may be in a handbasket headed for hell but at least you'll keep the laffs coming. Good one today!
Oh, and great comments too!
