Ready for more Hot Air? Try the Green Room!
posted at 12:36 pm on April 13, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
We’re pleased to announce the launch of our newest feature at Hot Air, the Green Room! We’ve created space for some of our most respected commenters to blog themselves right here at Hot Air and lead their own discussions. For this launch, we’ve begun with the following members of the Hot Air community:
- Andy Levy
- Tanya
- Jim Treacher
- Slublog
- Karl
- CK McLeod
- Kid from Brooklyn
- Patrick Ishmael
- Madison Conservative
- SDillard
- Keemo
- Coldwarrior
We’ll gradually broaden this as time goes on, and the Green Room builds a following. Allahpundit and I will crosspost some of the most popular topics on occasion, too. You may have already noticed the feature link at the top of the page — be sure to check this out, as our Green Room bloggers have already begun. Add the RSS link to your feedreaders, too, to stay current with the fast-moving conversations!
Update (AP): Commenters below are already suggesting new people to add. Feel free to weigh in if there’s someone here or elsewhere in the blogosphere whom you’d like to hear more from.

I hear “Musk gets me so wet.”
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:10 PM
Yeah you might as well nominate yourself too Upstater. All these names mentioned have made solid contributions.
Daemonocracy on April 13, 2009 at 8:10 PM
I do enjoy your posts. Wish you’d post more…
I think (just like our current precedent should have) that I need a little bit more experience… I’m new here… But I do like the STING.
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:10 PM
Hmmm, you want to become a professional blogger some day and your inspiration is two semi-professional imbeciles??? That does not compute… Please re-input data… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:10 PM
You are so sweet. I can’t imagine being asked. I am the kind of poster that I would imagine makes Allahpundit roll his eyes. I am just thrilled to be in company of so many smart folks.
Cindy Munford on April 13, 2009 at 8:11 PM
Definitely a ladies man. 100% a
horsesladies man.wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:11 PM
Geeze…. Your aunt must have one hella big purse…. :0
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:12 PM
I know this will get me in trouble with some, but if Paul blogs in the green room, I’d read.
I know this sounds lame (like, I like you and you like me), but I think you’d be good too. I haven’t seen a lot of your posts till this last weekend, but you had some good ones.
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:12 PM
What a kind sentiment. May I return it by saying you are 100% a man’s man.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:13 PM
Sweet.
Achilles on April 13, 2009 at 8:13 PM
Ugh. I hear musk, and I think of muskrats. Wow, random thought, I wonder if muskrats like cheese?
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 8:13 PM
There is HOPE for the beta-female blogger!
terryannonline on April 13, 2009 at 8:13 PM
I’d move back in a heart beat. My family is there and I own a house there. It’s home to me.
Cindy Munford on April 13, 2009 at 8:14 PM
ROTFLMAO…. Some of us make him open three bottles of Newcastles at one and power pound them… ;)
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:14 PM
I hear “The only man for me is a real animal, who will devour me like his last meal!”
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:16 PM
Cough cough… there is no such thing as a beta-female… cough cough… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:16 PM
Don’t make me break out the vintage Kinison. You have much to lose.
Beware,
Wisconsoii,WisonKAan,Wiksonoon, goober.wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:17 PM
I concur. I have documentation from my old divorce attorney.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:18 PM
I feel ya there. I would never move back there (job market), but I miss Delaware fiercely. It’ll always be my home.
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 8:18 PM
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:19 PM
I also vote HawkDriver! (assuming I have a vote!)
mycowardice on April 13, 2009 at 8:19 PM
What’s your poison? Live From Hell? Louder Than Hell? Leader of the Banned? Bring. It. On.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Helen Thomas.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Phhtt. 1 $900.00 iPhone?
I gave them as Christmas gifts to my whole family.
soundingboard on April 13, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Of the original list, half of them I never (or have barely) heard of (and I’ve been reading and posting since day one), and only two for whom I have a great deal of respect and a couple of others that I have a moderate amount of respect.
This is not ‘sour grapes’ on my part, since it has been six months since my last serious post, and you don’t need any more nasty snarkers like I have become….
But really, who decides this kind of stuff?
Oh well, Hot Air might as well join the rest of the world and go for quantity over quality. I hope Michelle is at least making money out of the deal.
LegendHasIt on April 13, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Cough… ;P
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:21 PM
She’d go in the troll haven…
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:22 PM
You slay me.
Speaking of rats, I’ve got to get my kids ready for bed. They’re starting to dangle off the furnature. Wish I had a tranqualizer gun (I keed, I keed… maybe).
Anna on April 13, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Anyone heard of S.E. Cupp (Redeye?)
Maybe we could get her on…
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Frankenstein’s Monster
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Er have you Mean Girls? The whole movie is about alpha females fighting for their territory.
terryannonline on April 13, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Ron Paul>Helen Thomas
Nelsen on April 13, 2009 at 8:23 PM
I thought I had long ago left that song in a blazing pyre of rubbish, tires and zombie corpses, to burn in agony forever.
Thanks a lot!
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:24 PM
Legend, where the heck is that Tax Party? Couldn’t find the park on my map. Coming from Alamo.
HornetSting on April 13, 2009 at 8:24 PM
She’s like an epsilon…
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Absolutely! I am thrilled with the line-up already, but as long as suggestions are being taken, I would be thrilled (even more!) if these commenters were added:
Amerpundit
Baldilocks
ColtFan
DoctorZero
Esthier
Fivefeetoffury
INC
JammieWearingFool
Lorien1973
Manly Rash
MB4
Progressoverpeace
William Amos
Gosh, there are so many! Upinak’s list is comprehensive. The only names I would then like to add would be fivefeetoffury, INC, MB4 and progressoverpeace.
And maybe lorien1973 can help to organize the Green Room?!
Threshing Flora on April 13, 2009 at 8:25 PM
/shakes head… strange images of Allapundit shooting me over and over again with a tranqualizer gun float through my head… ;0
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:25 PM
RON PAUL!!!!!!
Nelsen on April 13, 2009 at 8:09 PM
MATT DAMON!!!!!!
TexasJew on April 13, 2009 at 8:26 PM
You might want to have that cough checked out. Wrong diagnosis.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:27 PM
Ahhhhh, but did you buy them the day before they dropped 800 bucks in price… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:27 PM
Hey, Ron Paul is a doctor.
Nelsen on April 13, 2009 at 8:27 PM
He does diagnosises and stuff like that.
Nelsen on April 13, 2009 at 8:28 PM
I was wondering where he was going with that, as well.
I thought “Homosexual necrophiliacs? Leper whores? What could it be?”
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:28 PM
Helen Thomas could make a zombie chew it’s own arm off… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:29 PM
Yes, but would you trust your life to him????
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:30 PM
Ooh, one more: Spirit of 1776
Threshing Flora on April 13, 2009 at 8:30 PM
If that were true, she’d be without appendages…
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:30 PM
and
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:31 PM
AP and ED, PLEASE give Poptech his own blog here at HA.
I mean, whatever it takes to keep him otherwise occupied and the HELL AWAY FROM NEWSBUSTERS!
-Dave
Dave R. on April 13, 2009 at 8:32 PM
You know where Center Street is… (second stoplight heading west in the tourist trap part of town on Suddreth Drive)? It is a block uphill from there.
Lemme see if this works:
Google Map
LegendHasIt on April 13, 2009 at 8:32 PM
Just to get away from her… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:32 PM
Actually, I think she looks a little toady…
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:33 PM
I say put Poptech and Jenfidel in their own little room… See who comes out the winner after several days.
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:34 PM
The “make inflammatory posts there” one, or the “eats sheep and hobbits” one?
18-1 on April 13, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Version 2.0! New and improved!
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:36 PM
Some things just take a bit of sophistication. Nuance.
Learn, the boy will.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:37 PM
Now, that’s what I was afraid to type…
Upstater85 on April 13, 2009 at 8:38 PM
I will not…. And you cant make me…. ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:38 PM
Oh, yes.
Just a little.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:39 PM
How about RobCon?
RobCon on April 13, 2009 at 8:39 PM
Feel the force.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:41 PM
I concur on Hawkdriver. He’d be excellent.
sulla on April 13, 2009 at 8:43 PM
ROTFLMAO…. feel the force… that’s more like a forcible feel-up… :0
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:43 PM
Oh, dear, now I’ve got nothing to say. :)
OldEnglish on April 13, 2009 at 8:44 PM
Oh, MC, you always screw it up.
THIS is nuance.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:46 PM
Na, that’s more like voluntary rape… ;0
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:48 PM
Vis-a-vis the Green Room, I’m just about to go to a dual-monitor setup, and it looks like I’ve found its first use.
My neck is going to get such a workout.
OldEnglish on April 13, 2009 at 8:48 PM
YouNoob.
MadisonConservative on April 13, 2009 at 8:51 PM
And your beer bill is about to approach Obama’s stimulus cost… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:51 PM
Obviously being busy this weekend has me totally out of the loop. I feel like I’m sitting at the wrong lunch table in High School…. why are people being named? And is this desirable? Or is this the list you give to the FBI so they can be “investigated” before condemned?
petunia on April 13, 2009 at 8:54 PM
You calling me a noob,
Wikloonian,Wicsoomiam,Wisoncsssi, beeyotch?wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:55 PM
Hence the aversion to being named.
Seen any good Kinison clips lately?
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 8:56 PM
If you post as a conservative on HotAir you have already been condemned by the FBI, no need for any stinking investigation…
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 8:56 PM
Suggestions for posters to add? HMMMMMMMM How about, me!
Gatordoug on April 13, 2009 at 8:56 PM
Glenfiddich – pure. If your going to go … :)
OldEnglish on April 13, 2009 at 8:57 PM
doriangrey, I have noticed that you have used ROTFLMAO…. several times. I must warn you that I believe that has been trademarked but another poster. Just a warning. /sarc
Cindy Munford on April 13, 2009 at 8:57 PM
You need to read, cool and funny.
Cindy Munford on April 13, 2009 at 8:58 PM
Trust me, Poptech, you are a T R O L L.
-Dave
Dave R. on April 13, 2009 at 8:58 PM
Hmmm, must try that… I had a very attractive young lady suggest it to me a couple of weeks ago… ;)
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 9:00 PM
I want to make a request. Could someone repost or summerize the type of commentator article? I wanted to read it but only had a few minutes to myself the whole Wed-Tues. week-end. I think I missed something culturally significant. At least in this culture… I need to type myself. And you.
petunia on April 13, 2009 at 9:01 PM
Nope… I am a Licensed Publisher and I copyrighted it years ago… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 9:02 PM
Are you saying that this whole 9 pages is must read? Sigh… page 1…
petunia on April 13, 2009 at 9:03 PM
Awesome.
Congratulations to the new stars!
Saltysam on April 13, 2009 at 9:03 PM
Heh. I should have written down a list first. Now that I’m thinking about I still left off a couple of really good posters who somehow haven’t been mentioned yet. But I said that I mentioned everybody in my last post, so I’m not going to bring up The Race Card, Ronsfi, and Religious_Zealot.
RightOFLeft on April 13, 2009 at 9:03 PM
This is starting to sound like a “Most Valuable Commenter” thing which could take on the characteristics of a high school clique. Not good.
ddrintn on April 13, 2009 at 9:04 PM
So, does this mean you were the sole high school goth kid????
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 9:07 PM
Thank you, legend. I’ll be there. 4-7, right?
HornetSting on April 13, 2009 at 9:07 PM
No.
ddrintn on April 13, 2009 at 9:08 PM

Cindy Munford on April 13, 2009 at 9:09 PM
I am NOT admitting that all those slashed tires at my 20th reunion were my fault. I was merely in-state.
Let’s make that clear.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Plus, they were imports.
America first.
Or whatever.
Where do I report to the camps?
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Don’t worry comrade… In Socialist Amerika the camps report
toonto you….doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Much to my relief. I thought effort would be required.
I am such a bad, bad man.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Oh…. Well in that case you will be condemned to a cabinet position in the Obama administration.
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 9:18 PM
That’s harsh, dude.
wccawa on April 13, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Thank you. I’m often a skimmer it seems… like now. I still don’t quite get the blogger thing and am afraid that it means that everyone will be so busy with their own blogs they won’t comment on Ed and Allahs. And Hot Air already eats up so much time! It just eats it. (That is a compliment.)
petunia on April 13, 2009 at 9:26 PM
The punishment has to fit the crime man… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Just wait until it starts burping up the tennis shoes… ;p
doriangrey on April 13, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Racist.
