Gleen(s) today make jackasses of themselves even more than usual, picking a fight with an AP puff piece on Mike Mukasey. He begins by asserting that Mukasey is one of the most divisively controversial figures in American politics today, which is something that Gleen(s) would like to see to, but which brings hermeticism to the brink of absurdity by any reasonably objective measurement. He then goes on to state that the media wrap slather such diabolical fellows in smarmy human interest sauce and sell it to American’s eager to gobble down poisonous emotionalism.
So far, so good. A puff (or pouf or poof) piece is generally wretched, though it performs the horrid task of humanizing a politician. Just think of how inconvenient and frustrating it must be for Hillary to take time off from the campaign trail to calculate and file her taxes, for example. But being Gleen(s), they try to take the idle truism further and suggest that the MSM are in the business of canonizing right-wing politicians specifically, or, perhaps that it is bad specifically to canonize right-wing politicians, as opposed, say, to Obama or Russ Feingold. This, apparently is part of the subject matter of his book which someone who writes spy novels thinks is excellent. And we know that Gleen(s) wouldn’t be reporting this if it weren’t objectively so.
To paraphrase Gleen(s):
This darkly ludicrous [Greenwald post] isn’t worth noting because it’s unusual. It’s worth noting precisely because it isn’t.
He begins by arguing that Mukasey is one of the most divisively controversial figures in American politics today
I thought it was Ashcroft, then Gonzalez that were “the divisively controversial figures in American politics today”
Wait, I thought Bush was the “Most divisively controversial figure in American Politics today”.
Or is it anyone with an -R behind their name?
I think you nailed it with the latter, Techie. Certainly as far as our Puffy (Poufy, Poofty) Sockpuppet is concerned.
I don’t want to be rude or disrespectful, and I unequivocally don’t want to start an argument, but Dan Collins is always trying to worm his way into everything. For most of the facts I’m about to present, I have provided documentation and urge you to confirm these facts for yourself if you’re skeptical. I must emphasize that his statements such as “Dan’s crapulous Praetorian Guard is a respected civil-rights organization” indicate that we’re not all looking at the same set of facts. Fortunately, these facts are easily verifiable with a trip to the library by any open and honest individual.
Lewd, officious slumlords are more susceptible to Dan’s brainwashing tactics than are any other group. Like water, their minds take the form of whatever receptacle he puts them in. They then lose all recollection that what really gets my goat is knowing that the idea that people want nerdy schnorrers to bring widespread death and degradation to millions of human beings across the face of the Earth is a fundamental misunderstanding of the human condition, and everyone with half a brain understands that. If Dan’s slurs get any more untoward, I expect they’ll grow legs and attack me in my sleep. Well, Dan, we’re all getting a little tired of you and your kind messing up the world and then refusing to accept responsibility for what you’ve done. We’re fed up. And the day is coming when you’ll be held accountable for your yellow-bellied, semi-intelligible modes of thought. The first lies that he told us were relatively benign. Still, they have been progressing. And they will continue to progress until there is no more truth; Dan’s lies will grow until they blot out the sun. Help me lead us all toward a better, brighter future. Join your hands with mine in this, the greatest cause of our time.
I wonder if Rev. Spike is a Luciferian.
It’s gleenish, but can’t be gleen(s). “We’re fed up,” is far to short and direct a sentence to have come from that source.
Sort of like The Ghost in the Darkness?
Hey, this guy’s good. Nishi’s replacement?
Oh, to have one of those Jay Leno segments where people are asked to identify him.
BTW, I think teh Gleen would have a hard time with his thesis empirically.
Thanks, Karl!
I agree, that was a redundant post.
He already had an excellent one yesterday about how pathetic our media is and false priorities they keep shoving into weak minded brains
The only thing I was remotely curious about Sock’s newest was the updates – looked at memorandum and saw:
 (updated below)
Heh.
Hey, Rev. What exactly is the greatest cause of oue time? Because, after reading your comment, my IQ dropped 145 points, and I think I missed your point, unless your point is that Dan is evil, in which case, we agree ;-)
Oh! Did you see that white devil Collins trying to inject that poor defenseless cocksucker with AIDS! Hey!
Or was that the other way around? That fucking poof is a cracker too, and a probably a Jew.
c’mon, guys, this rev. character is a not so skillful spoof, don’t you see?
I’m not going to sit here and brainlessly point out Dan Collins’s flaws — we all know he has them — but I am going to say a little about how sane and bright minds turn into quivering wrecks upon contact with the madness that lies in Dan’s bloody-minded wisecracks. But first, I’m going to jump ahead a bit and talk in general terms about how my prime directive is to present another paradigm in opposition to Dan’s vapid long-term goals. Then, I’ll back up and fill in some of the details. Okay, so to start with the general stuff, there are some morally questionable bloodsuckers who are depraved. There are also some who are pestiferous. Which category does Dan fall into? If the question overwhelms you, I suggest you check “both”. Because Dan Collins is so caught up in trying to usher in the rule of the Antichrist and the apocalyptic end times, I’d like to conclude this letter by quoting to him the last line of R. M. Rilke’s poem, “Archaic Torso of Apollo”: “You must change your life.”
Gee. That’s about the nicest thing anyone’s ever written about me.
Dan – You’ve got new fan/stalker!
Mr. Peabody and I go way back.
Okay, that’s not true. Unless he’s, like, Barney Gumble or Steve Plunk or some such.
But this guy, he’s a machine.
Gleen(s) can send his minions after Collins, but we all know Gleen(s) will get it in the end. Over and over. In the end. From a big, devisively controversial schlong. He wouldn’t have it any other way.
Dan – you evil viper! you have finally made it! I am as proud as to be your brother!
Anyway, that shit is BlogSPAM. Total crappolisciousness.
[Insert_First_Name] is an ass-hat! The end being ushered in by Mr./Mrs./Ms. [Insert_Last_Name] is but a harbinger of the End of Days! Repent, [Insert_First_Name] and all ye who read [Insert_Blog_Initials]!

Witheld?
It now translates as “nishifeetslvspwn.”
Adjust accordingly.
And for gosh sakes, put your pants back on.
Go over to bloggingheads.tv and watch Anna Marie Cox slsp Gleen(s) silly, rhetorically. It’s awesome to watch. And kind of scary too. Wrestling Gleen(s) is like wrestling a greased pig: You can’t ever get a hold on it, it leaves you filthy, the pig gets a kick out of it, and you leave frustrated.
He is the most divisive? Then whatever happened to Chimpy and Darth Cheney?
Call the Secret Service!!!!!!one111!!!!!

Adjust your range cards accordingly. And remember to use the 20mm armor-piercing rounds. These ones are coated in stupidium which is almost as dense as DU.
This is most unfair.
That’s how it translates, hap. I’m not making this stuff up.
Hmmm. Much to ponder. Hey. Has anyone seen thor?
Being the subject of a ridiculous formulaic Greenwald hit piece should be viewed as much as a badge of honor for a conservative as being named Worst Person In The World by Olbermann. You know the facts are going to be completely mangled, but you might be happy that people noticed you.
Gleen, are you a poof?

Wow, an IQ if negative 80, JD? You might qualify for the AG’s job, if you were a sufficiently huge political hack.
Oh, hold on, it’s you. You should totally put your application in today, because Mukasey might be leaving soon. That ring ding habit is bad for one’s health.
IJS – You might try funny. Or even amusing.
