... Rather, they use makeup to appeal to a male’s biological wiring. Having said that, I consider Eugene Robinson to have gone off his freeping rocker. Robinson writes in reference to Tiger Woods’ s choice of mistresses, from the Washington Pos t: But the world is full of beautiful women of all colors, shapes and sizes — some with short hair or almond eyes, some with broad noses,...

... there? The line is that we don't want them to establish another safe haven there. Commentator Eugene Robinson (above) captures the flaw in an argument that seems to assume that al Qaeda has no other place to go: ...even if the surge works, why wouldn't al-Qaeda -- or some like-minded group -- simply set up shop in Somalia? Or in Yemen, another failing state? Or in some other wretched...

I am studiously ignoring a certain golfer. However: can we all agree that when a WaPo columnist yearns for women to come out from under the yoke of oppression that is a libidinous sports hero's lack of lust for them, he should retire? If only playas lusted for every body type equally? That's what we want for the sistas? Sigh . It's only women.

As if a Muslim president wasn't bad enough, now we have a Cablinasian golfer trying steal the white man's women. It's outrageous. The only solution is outrageously stupid pundit statements. Today:...

Eugene Robinson doesn't seem too worried about Tiger Woods' affairs. His main concern is that Woods goes for the "Barbie" type , meaning that his mistresses are uniformly blond, thin, and busty. Is Robinson put off by Woods's failure to be attracted to something a bit unusual (say, his failure to find himself a Lewinsky)? Does he not understand why a man would bother...

Washington - President Obama should have declared victory in Afghanistan and begun a withdrawal. His escalation of the war may achieve its goals, but at too great a cost -- and without making our nation meaningfully safer from the threat of terrorist attacks. I hope I'm wrong. But my fundamental question about Obama's approach was illustrated Thursday by events far from the war zone: In Mogadishu,...

Washington - Climate-change skeptics are barking up the wrong smokestack. The shell game being played isn't with the science, it's with the solutions -- specifically, the carbon emissions targets that enlightened world leaders are pledging to meet. That's where the numbers don't add up. read more

Leave it to lefty tool Eugene Robinson to write the dumbest column to date about the Tiger Woods scandal. For leftists, one issue is central to all others no matter the situation or circumstance. That issue is of course “diversity”. Everything and I mean everything begins and ends with diversity on the far left. Robinson [...]

I’d been thinking about this topic once the ho count went above five, but I intended to do it in jest. Eugene Robinson is serious: No offense to anyone who actually looks like Barbie, but it really is striking how...

They look so much like Barbies, “Mattel could sue for trademark infringement,” writes Eugene Robinson, who finds Tiger's taste in women the saddest of the sad facts of his serial philandering. It points to the deep insecurity of a man who "appears to have bought into an 'official' standard of...

Eugene Robinson complains that Tiger Woods didn't choose his mistresses by quota: "If adultery is really about the power and satisfaction of conquest, Woods's self-esteem was apparently only boosted by bedding the kind of woman he thought other men lusted after -- the 'Playmate of the Month' type that Hugh Hefner turned into the American gold standard."

Jonah, Ramesh: While we're arguing for the introduction of mistress quotas and affirmative action for non-Caucasian cocktail waitresses, possibly under a federal regulatory authority (the EPA, depending on what that many mistresses does for your carbon footprint), surely Frank Rich isn't going to leave the field to Eugene Robinson: I mean, doesn't this industrial-scale conveyor belt of...

Ramesh Ponnuru linked to Eugene Robinson's column today, which begins in this deadly manner: Leave Tiger alone. Enough with the puns -- we get that he's really just a "cheetah" in disguise. Enough with the Barbie-of-the-Day revelations -- we get that he's attracted to a certain type. Enough with the whole thing -- we have far more important things to worry about. Yeah, right....

... is not a good thing, folks; at least, not in this case. If you just can't get enough Tiger, Eugene Robinson spins a column out of the scandal, saying throughout the column that he isn't going to judge, we shouldn't waste time talking about it, and then spends his whole column talking about it, passing judgment in the end. Memeorandum is all abuzz about the potential expansion of Medicare...
