Chicken Farmer Rod Dreher Appears on Good Morning America
I caught only the very tail end of DMN editorial columnist and chicken farmer Rod Dreher’s appearance on Good Morning America to analyze last night’s debate (thanks for the heads-up, Sarah). I’ll turn comments on for those of you who wish to analyze Dreher’s analysis.

Two questions: When did Rod suddenly have more hair than Tim? And does everyone now understand why I hate watching Cowboys games on Tim’s TV? I mean, look at the swirls.
Despite at least 20 polls I’ve just checked, Rod thinks Palin won it.
Does Rod have a PR agency?
Bethany, you, of all people, should understand that polls done by the media have traditionally been more liberal in their results than reality. Of course Biden won the debate according to every Democratic media source, and Obama is going to sweep the election 100% to McCain’s 0%. It’s okay to read information online, you just have to do so with some level of thoughtful incredulousness. That goes for all the conservatives that quote the Drudge Report and FoxNews all the time, as well.
Rod said he liked Palin after the convention, then didn’t like her, and now he may like her again – gosh darnit golly gee. He’s going to vote for McCain-Palin or not vote at all.
I just said I checked 20 – both liberal and conservative – and that despite those results, Rod felt Palin won. If anything, I stated the obvious. You can quit acting like I peed your rug.
A few of those polls:

That rug realy tied the room together.
True definition of Pencil Neck
Now that the rug’s ruined, can we get one of those Rod Dreher computer voices for the Roomba? What could be cooler than a mechanical turtle imitating William F. Buckley, Jr. as it heads for your legs?
I do have to wonder though – if polls skew liberal all the time, how do you explain Palin’s across-the-board surge in them when she was announced as the VP candidate?
Or do they just skew “more liberal than reality” when conservative candidates are not at the top of them?
Poor little rug.
“like I peed your rug.”
Grammar and usage dear, grammar and usage.
How does that head stop from simply falling off? I wish That’s Incredible was still on tv (but not Tim’s — take some of those savings from the gasoline budget and upgrade!).
I used peed as a verb, which is acceptable. I suppose I could’ve said, “Quit acting as if I peed your rug.”

@ Bethany and randye: I think randye is saying he’d prefer “peed on your rug.” If so, I disagree. You crap your pants. You wet your bed. So “pee” should be transitive in this case.
I wonder what Rod Dreher would say about this. (That handsomely hirsute sonofabitch.)
Anyone notice that the ABC GMA Panel comprised of two hard Right Wingers and one moderate Democrat – Damn liberal media.
What’s with Rod’s fashion sense? It looks like Gap circa 1995.
Rod would say this, Tim:
Last night, while keeping my family indoors at night for safety — I live in east Dallas, after all — I spotted a poor man slumped on the sidewalk. I was going to call 911, but my Crunchy Cons got the better of me. “Go out and multiply in small lots” I said to myself.
Thus, verily, I opened the front door slowly and tiptoed outside, lest I waken the kids guarding the chickens in the back bedroom. With angst and trepidation, I approached the poor man, who was now slumped in the pansies along the front flower bed. It was not until I was very close that it finally dawned on me what the real problem was. I had forgotten to run the sprinkler system after 6:00pm that evening.
So, I peed the pansies instead.
I love you, Billusa99. For the next five minutes anyway.
This was my first time seeing Rod Dreher on TV. I looked beyond his beard, his erratic rhetoric, his fashionable glasses (see Vanity Fair page 316) and looked into his eyes and I can honestly say I felt a connection.
Per Grummpy et al, check Rod’s blog because in the course of two weeks, he went from making Sarah Palin sock dolls to hurling more than a little bulimic verbiage.
Rod’s fashion sense has always been best described as proudly somehwere between rumpled professor and homeless. His wife and chickens approve.
My mother knitted that rug from the leg hairs of Monarch butterflies she captured with a net made from her own hair as they migrated across Texas. I’m going to miss it.
forget it, randye, you’re out of your element
the usage is not the issue here, i’m talking about drawing a line in the sand…across this line YOU DO NOT…and, uh, dude, right-wing chicken-little wingnut isn’t the preferred nomenclature, it’s Crunchy Con, please
Thanks jrp…
Why did Tom Yorke and Ray Stevens have a baby and named it Rod Dreher?
Also, I would like to take this chance to mention how much I love the right-wingers embrace of spectacles (glasses). It’s like they all decided people would take them much more seriously if they put on glasses. Glasses are what smart people wear and stuff. And the frames can be hip and unisex, as shown above.
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
eight-year-olds, Dude
Nihilists!
Amanda, we’re all still waiting for the punchline. Why did they?
