Nice...
I've always enjoyed Jonah Goldberg's ability to turn a phrase. He's the proto-blogger, the John Belushi of the Animal House that is blogdom. A recent line:
Just for the record, I've found British lefties to be just as capable as American lefties of performing pirouettes of hysterical jackassery.
A minor rhetorical masterpiece. First there's the aliteration of "performing pirouettes" nicely balanced by the similar syllabic weight of "hysterical jackassery". But what makes the whole sentence is the ending crescendo of "jackassery", a word my wife and I shared a fine, if unrefined, laugh over.
