Is the blogger who calls himself "Patterico" actually a teenage girl?

I'm really starting to wonder, because it was just so ridiculously easy to get under his/her skin:

Yeah, Blue Texan ain’t too bright. He does follow in Greenwald’s footsteps, though. It’s a three-step plan:

1) Try to make the issue about whether the other guy has sufficiently denounced something.

2) Get that argument shoved right down your throat.

3) Lie and say the *other guy* started the game of demanding denunciations of hate speech.

Blue Texan has added a new dimension to the game:

4) Knowingly host a comment that wishes for the death of a political opponent.

From anybody but a fringe lefty, this sort of behavior would be considered prima facie evidence of mental illness.

I know it sucks for you Putzerico, but the only answer to my question, "I’m sure you were equally outraged at Ann Coulter and Pat Robertson suggesting the same thing, right?" is: no.

No lies. No trying to do anything. A simple yes or no question. Everyone can read. And it was a big no. Thus exposing your outrage as the phony variety.

On top of that, having it pointed out that Wonkette isn't a "prominent lefty blog" and that two-line post wasn't "hate speech" must've stung as well.

But seriously -- you're embarrassing yourself now. Go pig out on Oreos or get a manicure or go read the new Stephen Hayes book on Cheney in a hot bathtub -- whatever you need to get over this. It's really time to move on.
