Has anybody seen Chris Rock’s $#!+? He seems to have lost it.
Well, he sure did show those crazy teabaggers.
Speaking of Jason Mattera and Chris Rock, I’m reminded of something the NYT’s Kate Zernike wrote. (Which has to be the first time that’s ever happened in human history.) Back in Feb. ’10, she covered Mattera’s appearance at CPAC:
In a panel appealing to conservatives under 30, Jason Mattera, author of a forthcoming book called “Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation,” likened the gathering to “our Woodstock.”
“Except that unlike the last gathering, our women are beautiful, we speak in complete sentences and our notion of freedom doesn’t consist of snorting cocaine,” he said, “which is certainly one thing that separates us from Barack Obama.”
After the laughing died down, he added, “Actually, on the cocaine front, I do believe many people in America viewed Barack as they do drugs: it was a substance to experiment with.”
Dramatic pause for more laughter, and then, “But like most narcotics, the hangover afterward has them thinking, What the hell did I just do?”
Mr. Mattera, also a television correspondent for the Web site HotAir, said that Mr. Obama had created the “right opportunity to capture what is perceived as the left’s stronghold on the youth vote.”
Even Obama Girl, he exclaimed, “said her crush has faded!”
He then mocked what he described, with a Chris Rock voice, as “diversity,” including, he said, college classes on “cyber feminism” and “what it means to be a feminist new black man.”
Just one problem: Mattera wasn’t doing a “Chris Rock voice.” He’s from Brooklyn too. That’s how he talks. But nobody ever got called on the carpet at the New York Times for race-baiting by falsely accusing people who disagree with them of race-baiting.
I used to think the left’s constant playing of the race card was dishonest, that they know better, but I’m starting to realize that they can’t help it. If a white person disagrees with a black person, many liberals simply cannot conceive of any other explanation but racism.
Well done, Derrick Bell.

P.S. Mattera’s reaction:
“I was stunned,” said Mr. Mattera in an exclusive interview with Big Hollywood. “Tea Party members get called the worst things imaginable and still remain peaceful. But ask a big Hollywood celebrity to explain himself and the guy goes ballistic, wrestles the camera away from my camerawoman, chucks it 50 feet, and then challenges me to a fight. It’s unreal. And it perfectly illustrates why I decided to investigate and write Hollywood Hypocrites.”
Camerawoman? Oh, that’s right, because of the left’s respect for women.
Mattera says Rock then shouted, “You want to throw down? Let’s throw down right now!” Er… from behind his bodyguards.
P.P.S. Ed Morrissey: “The definition of insanity might not be doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result, but in attacking people when they ask you about your definition of insanity.”
