The Brett Farve of Blogging

Brett Farve is the most overrated quarterback of our generation...probably ever. If he isn't already, he certainly will be the career interception leader.

Mickey Kaus is the Brett Farve of blogging. The guy's blog is tremendously hard to read. Mickey benefits from being in LA, like Farve benefits from being a Packer...Green Bay being a romantic small city owned franchise...and LA being close to Hollywood and people just generally more interested in LA in general and Green Bay for football.

He writes - if you scoll through and can figure it out - that United 93 was an anti-US films only after he watched Bourne 3 and realized that deep down Greengrass was anti-US. Huhn? Talk about an ad hominem. United 93 was hardly an anti-US film. It was a brilliant story about civilian bravery. How Bourne 3 makes United 93 something it wasn't prior is one of the more absurd things I've ever heard written about a film...

It's like saying The Godfather is anti-US because Coppola made Apocalypse Now. One doesn't have to do with another...it's like saying Rumsfeld was pro-Iraq before being anti-Iraq, as if one can simply a person into being pro-US or anti-US or pro-Iraq or anti-Iraq. It just doesn't make any sense.
