Okay, who kicked the ant hill?
Gore Boosting McCain (Stoller)
Obama Clueless (Krugman)
Clinton Duplicitous (Fremon)
ABC Overlooking Big Story: Their Debate Coverage (Tyndall)
Bonus absurdity! Greenwald: Beltway Pundits Disingenuously Claim to Speak for Joe American, Drudge (i.e., The Anti-Greenwald) Is Emperor of American Media
Gobsmackingly typical: Greenwald cites a Philadelphia Daily News poll from their website, in which 85% thought the debate was bad or horrible due to the questions, and notes that while he’s unaware of the methodology, still it contradicts Brooks’ assertions regarding “character”.
To get an idea of the tenor of this publication, consider its endorsement of Obama from yesterday, 4-17-08, which Greenwald somehow manages not to mention.
Sample:
THE CHOICE in Tuesday’s Democratic presidential primary is not only the one between a white woman and a black man. It’s a choice between the past and the future.
More specifically, the nation must decide how to face the future racing toward us in the form of slumping home sales, unstable financial markets and increased joblessness – and staring at us from the Green Zone in Iraq and the beds at veterans hospitals.
Quintessentially Greenwaldian is the logic that deplores the “random” attacks on Baracky, while maintaining:
It’s a bit difficult to maintain that Americans find the tiny personality assaults from Brooks and his friends to be relevant when, as those assaults are directed more and more at Obama, he rises more and more in the polls. There are, of course, other possible explanations, but this data along with that cited above offers yet more evidence to negate the self-justifying claim from journalists that they cover insipid, Drudge-like trash because that’s what Regular Americans care about.
So, Populist Greenwald holds that such media assaults were effective in driving Edwards, Gore, Kerry and Dukakis down, but are ineffective now because people are sick of it because of how specious the media is and it’s backfiring and making Baracky more popular–so they’d better shut up!
What a pompous and transparently imbecilic dick.

Awesome bonus: “Beltway Pundits Disingenuously Claim to Speak for Joe American, Drudge (i.e., The Anti-Greenwald) Is Emperor of American Media.”
So true – I love it!
Goodness, what a brouhaha! We could surely hash all this out in a civilized way over a nice cuppa.
Leave Baracky alone!! [sniff]
Baracky doesn’t wear all that well is the problem. His charisma it turns out is a lot always hitting the same note, kind of like those actors that always play “guy with headache/guy whose headache is gone” or “lady who loves how her dishwashing soap smells” in the commercials. We get it. There’s a big concern I think that he’s just gonna turn out to be a black, metrosexual hopey changey Dell Dude by November. It’s a lot cause he’s so shallow I think. Clinton is forcing him to keep revisiting his limited repertoire of engagey hopey inspirationyness and it’s getting stale. You saw how even Andrew is pretty much over the magic part and is way more going with the Hillary is a skanky bitch angle now. That’s not a good sign for Baracky.
Sorry. I think skanky inhuman bitch is a more accurate characterization of Andy’s take. He’s sophisticated like that. It’s a British thing. Or a gay thing. Or maybe a gay British thing.
happyfeet:
I dunno if that is true, Elton loves the woman.
I’ll bet that Elton did not sing “The Bitch is Back” at the Hillary fund raiser.
Eleanor Clift I thought really got it right and was the first I remember that put it out there when she said this week that Baracky is a ginormous threat to Bill’s legacy. Her angle was more that he would be a lot more potent a president but I think also she recognized that a rejection of Hillary is a rejection of Bill too. That’s a deeply satisfying thing I think for a lot of people. I think it’s neat. But the more drama prone Billary people are getting a lot frantic I think. Elton is kind of in the more drama prone category.
What a pompous and transparently imbecilic dick.
That’s really funny. maybe I’m just in a mood, but that really just hit the funny bone.
“What a pompous and transparently imbecilic dick.”
And no doubt Mona will visit for the POSITIVELY LAST!!1ONE!!1BINARY! of a million last times to decry the average level of discourse here. BTW Dan, if Gleens is a transparent dick, then what does that make Mona?
What the hell, let’s make it three in a row:
That’s a really good insult. I’m gonna have to swipe that sometime.
Transparently imbecilic dick filcher!
Yeah, and the Pacific Ocean is kind of in the more wet and salty category.

What a pompous and transparently imbecilic dick.
Bravo !
I am not going to call Mona names, because I scared her off last time. After reading her lies, non-answers, distrotions, and evasions, I could not resist the opportunity to ask her how she was able to edit that drivel with the gleeeens hairy nutsack setting on the bridge of her nose.
I spent an entire hour at HuffPo laughing my ass off.
thor is a felcher ?
JD – I think thor uses wolverines rather than gerbils.
thor’s no felcher. He’s a world-class fucker, thor is. And I mean that in the most complimentary way.
Nothing like a good, old-fashioned bruhaha. Ha ha.
I’ll have something on the HuffPo piece tomorrow. Just stating it in advance, so people don’t think I missed this post.
It’s nice to know that Greenwald has still not purchased any mirrors for his house. The Ann Coulter of the right acknowledges her critics and jokes about them while demolishing their arguments. The Ann Coulter of the left whines and complains about them and humorlessly attacks arguments his critics did not make.
Ah, the old “filch me farts, you fetching felcher” line!
Well, scrub your pilch, fanny packing footle!
Sorry for the redux!
I saw this in an article about Clinton today…
So I googled that school and on their home page I learned this…
Presidential Candidate John McCain Opens Esperanza Academy School of the Arts
which linked to a local Fox News article here…
So I thought that was kinda odd so I poked around the school’s site some more.
What I found was this…
It seems like a pretty amazing school really.
I am TOTALLY offended!
How could anyone DARE to question Obama’s cynical portrayal of himself? How dare anyone question the beliefs of Obama? He is the Messiah, coming to save America from itself! His mission is to turn our government over to Syria and Iran. Fuckin’ whiteys!
OOOF! Charisma does NOT equate to intelligence. So far, all I have seen is a flaming Marxist who thinks his shit doesn’t stink. The debate was enough to open the eyes ofr anyone with an IQ of over 90.
Hope? Change? What a riot. Just code words for “fuck the constitution”. Barack knows better than the founding fathers, and if you don’t believe me, just ask his wife. She expounds on his beliefs all the time. If she wasn’t his surrogate, she would be locked up in an institution.
I am still reeling from this idiot’s statement that he would raise taxes, not for inccreased revenue, but because “it would be fair”.
HUH?
Hmmmmm…Let’s see what happens when we take the spark plugs out of the engine.
And I am really impressed with his whining that no one can question him because he is a smart black guy, and no matter why I may not like him, if I don’t agree with him, I am a RACIST!.
Nope. Obama is the racist, and, as always, I am a humble Jerkist. Jerks just kinda naturally piss me off.
But this egomaniacal black yuppie asshole is making me re-think my stand on racism.
This little boy is almost enough to make me feel like a racist. He plays the race card whenever he is questioned about anything…
Well, Mr. Obama. Your whole campaign is based on black racism, and you think that there are enough guilty whites to put you over the top.
Well, bub, I hope you are in for a drubbimg that will destroy you.
And good riddance. Obama, my friend, you have no understanding of what has made this country great. Get out of here. Our Constitution says noyhing about Marxism being the dominant force in our lives. But, hey! I’m not black, so I couldn’t possibly understand why your friends are all over-the-top radicals.
Just a coincidence, right?
I don’t care what color yhour skin is, an asshole is an asshole. Would I understand more if I were black?
Probably. But I still wouldn’t be stupid enough to vote for a clueless little boy like you. Obama – you are too stupid to be my president – regardless of what color your skin is.
And by every criteria I know, Obama is a lying piece of whatever that stuff was that I used to shovel out of the manure pit.
I can’t wait for him to be nominated! The general election will be a snot covered Marxist lamb being led to the slaughter…
Obama skies like Dr. J. He floats, like yo, like there’ no g, G.

Ok. Got to the post rally late and was really getting Pissed. Scrolled down to the Lost Dog and felt better. Couldn’t have said it better! I guess I’ll just go to my room, call myself a RACIST!, and flog myself…Or have another drink. Whichever comes first.
– Its flat=assed amazing just how many comments a single unwashed South American sock can spawn.
Its the banjo. Has to be because of the banjo. No other plausible explanation.
RON PAUL!
Big Bang – It’s the scotch.
SHHHHHHHH! You want them to hear you?
I don’t care what color yhour skin is, an asshole is an asshole.
Not so fast there Dog. Some discoloration of the anus could be a sign of other more serious health problems. Please follow the link to Nastygirl’s comment for the straight poop. Hope this helps!

I’ve got to say that PW is one of the lights of my life. I can’t think of anything else that could make me laugh within ten minutes of waking up.
“Poopnurse”? I think I am going to have to legally change my name. Thank God my coffee was still brewing when I read that one, or I would need ANOTHER new keyboard.

BBH –
That reminds of the musician joke:
What do you throw a drowning banjo player?
His banjo.
Baracky is my ultimate banjo player – really cool at first, but kinda emotionally trying after about fifteen minutes.
Oh.
And what does a banjo player in a three piece suit say?
“Yes, your honor”.
Thank you PW and all the loonies that post here. Bill Maher WISHES he was half as funny as this.
And BTW, I just dumped HBO from my “Silver” line up. It isn’t so much what Maher says, it’s THAT FUCKING SMIRK!!!!
The Lost Poop – How does a poop get lost, and what exactly does a poopnurse do?
Poop gets lost when it’s transparent, just like imbecilic dicks.
Let’s be straight here (sorry, Andy), transparent isn’t invisible. Transparent is like Wonder Woman’s jet. So, though, Gleen(s) are hard to spot, you can just discern the tiny mushroom-shaped outline of his imbecility.
Wonder Woman’s jet always confuzzled me.
What’s the point in having a transparent jet if people evil-doers could still see YOU sitting at the controls?
Even dumb-ass villains should be able to put two and two together.
What’s the point in having a transparent jet if people evil-doers could still see YOU sitting at the controls?
If the jet wasn’t transparent, you couldn’t see her tits when she was flying it. Duh!
Um…Speaking for my dick..because…you know…he doesn’t orate…
I…I mean he…resents the comparison to Greenwald…and wishes you’d make a retraction and insertion and a retraction….
Where was I…er…I mean he? Oh yeah, pick on another body part.
David, as long as your dick isn’t transparent, I don’t think anyone will confuse it with him.
…although, that would require people to see it, and, well, we’re not that good fr5iends…
– How the hell could she ever remember where she parked, Thats the wonder.
She’s Wonder Woman, she always remembers where she parks, and doesn’t have to ask for directions either.
Parallel parking, on the other hand…
