Moonbats at Sea
2006-06-14
Katherine Jean Lopez at National Review posts this gem from her inbox:
Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

We know that cruises aren't for everyone but Nation publisher emeritus Victor Navasky and The Nation want to invite you on The Nation's ninth annual seminar cruise. Setting sail from Fort Lauderdale on December 16, the Holland America's MS Zuiderdam will cruise through the Caribbean on a seven-day tour, returning to Florida on December 23.
Yes, seven days of sun, seasickness, seething, and solidarity with the working class on a cruise ship that's priced out of reach of the proletariat!
The dates have been selected to allow families and educators to make the trip. You'll be joining a distinguished group of speakers who will participate in a series of lectures, seminars, conversations and binge drinking cocktail parties over the course of the voyage. Confirmed speakers include Joe Wilson,
(top secret CIA agent--shhhhh! don't tell anyone he's aboard!)
Scott Ritter,
(youth counselor)
Steve Earle,
(washed-up drug-addled folk singer)
Jane Smiley,
(whodat? Did she invent the Wal-Mart smiley face icon or something?)
Jonathan Kozol,
(rich guy who writes about poor people)
Molly Ivins,
(former pro wrestler)
the Rev. Lennox Yearwood,
(whoever the hell he is, he has the coolest name of the bunch)
and Jim Hightower
(alleged radio personality)
as well as Nation writers David Corn and Katha Pollitt and RadioNation host Laura Flanders. They'll join Navasky and Nation editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel in what has always been both an enlightening exchange of ideas and a no-hassle, nonstop Bush-hating frenzy relaxing vacation.

Best Regards,
Peter Rothberg,
The Nation
Imagine: a whole boatload of moonbats. Any chance we can get them to do an audience-participation reenactment of The Poseidon Adventure -- or at least Gilligan's Island?
