Perhaps it was because you had people there defending it whereas you have very few people who show up to defend the left on your blog. I don't honestly know. It struck me as more dogmatic than I'm accustomed to reading from you and it stuck with me. Jeff, I, personally, thought you went way overboard on the priggishness criticisms.

The only things I can think of are my disapproval of certain public displays of priggishness (those who made a big deal out of Laura Bush making a horse-milking joke, or Sensenbrenner's desire to see "indecency," as he, presumably, defines it, punished with criminal prosecutions rather than fines) -- but those are speech issues, and I go after the left on those types of things all the time.

Re: Schiavo, I argued that that having Randall Terry as your front man during the Schiavo affair could, in the end (and with the help of the mainstream press), embolden Democrats to filibuster Bush’s judicial nominees as “too extremist,” using poll numbers of the public’s dislike of federal involvment in Schiavo to bolster their decision.
