"Good evening. My name is Terry Moran, and I lovemy brother, Rick, something fierce. I am very proud ofhim, even though he's not nearly as famous as I am. Inno way do I endorse anything he writes, even when he praisesme with words, like, 'Well done, brother. And thanks'. But I will never disavow him, even if he joins the

Ku Klux Klan. I will always defend him as an honorableman, even if he is arrested someday for being a serial killer. And I really don't care what anyone says about it. He ismy brother, and blood is even thicker than my hair."

In a fit of post-scalpum depression, Rick Moran

writes (re: the Amanda Marcotte affair): "Certainly our

motives lacked nobility. I will be the last to argue that

anything more than 'scalp hunting' animated this effort.

.... Is this all we are? Is this what we have become?"

Are there any answers to these rhetorical questions?

A guy named Rick is the proprietor of Rightwing Nuthouse.

What a Moran!
