Kerfuffle is back! Some dolt named Zachary Roth claimed that Bobby Jindal had lied about his involvement in efforts to aid people in the wake of Katrina. Marshall jumped in to prop up his boy when folks started coming back with evidence, Olbermann spouted their nonsense, and the results are hilarious.
I guess the best place to start is with Treacher, but see also Moe Lane and the other RedStaters, here, here, here and here. Curt at Flopping Aces has something to say, followed up by Politics and Critical Thinking.

Another lefty link (h/t JHoward). Considering that people were eating corpses to survive, this is unconscionable.
But then again, I’m the sort of horrible person who figures I’ll start listening to Muslims howling about Palestine when they start howling about the actual genocide in Darfur.

There are a lot of idiots out there Carin, and they take each other very seriously.

He should have been out there in a row boat rescuing people during the storm like the Great People’s Hero Sean Penn.

And, I can’t read through all the comments, but apparently no one is even questioning the story. What is it Allah always writes? Too good to verify?

Since failure is the new success, Olbermann is a fucking titan. “As California goes (economically), so goes the nation.” Bull-fucking-shit! Let California fail. Let them become North Mexico. Then that dirty, ragged-old-cunt-bag-that’s-even-too-dirty-and-ragged-to-hold-even-nasty-old-dried-up-cunts Nancy Pelosi will no longer have a job and she can go back to hooking by the bay.

Jethro Jindal lied? Shocked! I’m fabulously shocked I tell ya. And he’s a brown noser! Ha!
At least he’s smarter than the redumb’s Joe the Dumber and Sister Palin, who I question is as smart as the average doe. Ha!
You want jokes? I got your jokes!

seems that Jindal was off on the timeline and that this TPM “reporter” thought he had something approximating a scoop. He was wrong but the nutroots could care less. In days of yore, this would cause a reporter to be canned or reassigned; this will help this dope.

“Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age. Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving Hummers in terms of global warming pollution.” Making toilet paper has a significant impact because of chemicals used in pulp manufacture and cutting down forests.
…
More than 98% of the toilet roll sold in America comes from virgin forests, said Hershkowitz.
Fucking morons don’t know the difference between virgin wood or virgin forests, or that pulp wood is farmed now? We are all well and truly fucked, no people this fucking stupid can survive.

Yes. That toilet paper comes from trees that are cropped about as intesively as the soybeans used to produce that hippie’s tofu.
I wonder if Hershkowitz thinks that this is a “virgin forest”.
Want to give a hippie nightmares? Show him this.

thor,
What is it with the Jindal is dumb thing? Are you trying to pin that on him pre-emptively, like y’all did with the Boooooosh! is an idiot meme..?
Just because people don’t speak as floridly and eloquently as the one! doesn’t mean their an idiot. Concomitanty, the one! isn’t the brilliant super-genius that you and many others would like to proclaim him…
Eloquence and intelligence are neither consistent nor mutually exclsuive…
Besides, if he was soooooooo bright, then why won’t he release his college grades or his thesis?
Perhaps it’s the same as Gore and Kerry; they just didn’t measure up to Booooooosh!s grades at Yale…
Which flies in the face of the ChimpHitler BusHalliburton! propaganda…
Remember that the next time O! goes into his Wizard-of-Uhhhhs routine…

Indecent Walthor Mitty just reinforces the knee-jerk Leftcult meme that all non-leftists are “dumb”, even as Jindal’s educational background far exceeds The One’s … and without being an affirmative action pick.
Anyone who has actually seen Jindal being interviewed knows the over-coached speech was a fluke. Side by side readings of TEXTs of both speeches shows Jindal’s was far and away the better speech.

Only conservative ones, Colonel,
I mentioned in another thread that the appelation of Rhodes scholar only seems to take on real signifigance when hefted by a left-wing-hero; such as former President Clinton…

Except port-side Rhodies. Those are really smart.
You know who else is really stupid? All those investors who keep selling into The One’s brilliant economic idea. Only thor is smart about that one.

That doesn’t impress me at all. What’s important is that he’s a big cheerleader for socialism. That shows how smart he is, because we all know how well socialism works.

Dan is right. I used “yore” in a liberal (but not progressive) fashion and should be held to account.
none of which means that this kid Zachary Roth shouldnt be a customer service rep. somewhere.
