I know, I know. I make too big a deal about Greenwald(s), and I like these kerfuffles, and they’re all “inside baseball.” Still, my hypocrisy doesn’t, I think, bar me from pointing out the strange paucity of linking sites to this important story, compared to this, per Memeorandum.

Clearly, I am a masochist.
Personal, Web-based log. Web-log. blog.
I guess you’re right Dan, the personal part of blog is gone. We’re all obligated to become part of the mass consciousness. No longer whither your interests go so you write.
And oddly enough, he was identified in the news story as a “Republican lawmaker.” Go figure.
Memeorandum, Dan.
I am kind of unhappy that it’s a more serious offense, socially, to be an unattractive, overweight, middle-aged male cross-dresser than it is to appear in public wearing an upside-down-and-backward visor (from your second link).
I mean, at least the cross-dresser isn’t exposing the rest of us to any untoward visuals. Bad fashion choices should carry much lighter penalties if they’re covert.
I think you limited the scope of that too much.
(Bitter? I’m soaking in it!)
Jeebus, Dan!
It’s 8:00 AM, and I have to gag over this stuff?
God bless America!
Oh, yeah.
Happy F’ing Hallowen!
…and after having seen all of the news video, it does look like the guy likes him a little man-sex from time to time.
Which doesn’t make it not blackmail, of course. Still, what is it about Congress that’s a magnet for guys that like scoring some strange-squared on the side? Or am I just wierder than I’d thought, not having ever gone that way?
Slart – As more and more of the remaining sane and capable individuals in America find their way in the private sector, only the terminally broken will be left to hold office.
It’s going to get worse. Much worse.
Rob: FYP
I don’t think the link variage should be surprising. The second story is more directly related to politics, which is what Memeorandum tracks. Plus, there is the whole “OOOOOh, a ghey Republican” thing I’m guessing is what attracts Lefty blogs.
Because of the HYPOCRISY!!! By which I mean the hypocrisy of Lefties about the whole ghey angle, not that they acknowledge it.
Hypocrisy? You mean how teh ghey become a perjorative when it refers to anyone not in the Leftist tribe?
Malaysia is retarded. Robert Samuelson has a piece today about how some countries are just willfully fucking retarded and there’s not a whole hell of a lot we can do about it.
For a total slap down of Greenwald by Col Boylan check this out from Grim’s Hall – priceless- http://grimbeorn.blogspot.com/: Third post down (at this time) by Cassandra. Sorry, cant get a link to paste.
