"Why Do Liberals Hate Ann Althouse?"

The conservative GayPatriot asks:

The thing I don?t get about this hatred of Althouse is that she is kind of like the South Park of blogging. She?s witty, directing her snark at pretty much anything she finds amusing. Is is that leftists in the blogosphere today are so humorless so self-righteous that they can?t abide the least bit of mockery, criticism or a combination of both?

Or, maybe it?s since they don?t have George W. Bush to kick around any more, they?ve decided to start going after prominent blogresses?

Perhaps it?s something else. Maybe Klein has a case of ADS (Althouse Derangement Syndrome), a syndrome afflicting partisans who can?t understand how a blogress can gain a following without subscribing to any ideology.

What they don't get is that I am a pure blogger, really a blogger, showing you what blogging is. I don't think they really are bloggers. I don't think they really are journalists either. I'm called deranged or whatever when I'm riffing in a bloggerly style that they obviously don't understand or appreciate. They are journalists posing as bloggers, mucking up their journalism and simultaneously writing dull blogs.
