'Media Matters' Mutters About K-Lo Tweet: Is This Any Job For a Grownup?

One of the great things about Media Matters for America, the George Soros-funded leftist “watchdog” site, is that it appears to be made up of a series of interchangeable humorless drudges and scolds. I suppose that if your job was to spend all day monitoring Fox News and the Rush Limbaugh Show you’d be a humorless drudge and scold, too. But for crying out loud, is there not one of its many undistinguished “senior fellows” (senior to what?) who can take a mild joke without seeing it as an occasion for a “gotcha” moment?

Here’s a Tweet from National Review Online editor Kathryn Lopez on Obama’s nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court today:

Naturally, this set off an MMFA drone named Jamison Foser:

On the surface, Lopez seems to be criticizing SCOTUS nominations that take potential nominees’ gender into consideration — but, in reality, she is endorsing exactly that. Lopez’s post implies support for a quota system in which (at least) every other SCOTUS nominee must be a man.

I can find no record of Lopez wondering whether women are allowed to be nominated to the high court in the wake of consecutive men ascending to the high court as a result of nominations by President Bush. She did, however, write in 2005 that President Bush should “just go for the best. Quotas be damned” in making Supreme Court nominations.

You can’t make this stuff up. No wonder Greg Gutfeld parodies this pathetic collection of non-entities thusly:
