That Audition for Tucker Carlson is Going Well

Commenter wsn recently made a prediction:

Looking to the future, I’m eagerly awaiting Althouse’s explanation for why the recall elections in Wisconsin are anti-democratic.

Well, that didn’t take long!

Portray them as anti-democratic sore losers who won’t accept the results of a legitimate fair election.

Although our commenter was too charitable to Althouse, in the sense that he or she expected an explanation for the proposition that using the procedures established by the Wisconsin constitution to petition for another election is “anti-democratic.” The hackish bare assertion was rather more plausible. And does the post dismiss the unpopularity of the Walker’s lickspittles in the senate by invoking conveniently undocumented Media Bias? Oh, yes.

Meanwhile, in the midst of (correctly) noting that Walker’s union-busting legislation is substantively appalling but procedurally legitimate, Chait asks: “[c]onservatives are forgetting every single procedural complaint they made about rushed-through reforms that lack popular support — has a single right-winger who made a fuss over health care carried his objection through to Wisconsin?” Does Althouse embody this perfectly, right down to having freaked out about congressional Dems using procedural maneuvers similar to the ones Walker used to get his legislation through? I think you know the answer.  At this point, I think Althouse has just subcontracted the writing of her blog to Erick Erickson and Jim Hoft and told them to dumb it down a shade.
