In a post titled “Someone’s Gettin’ Huffy,” paid Donk shitflinger Oliver Willis puts down his mayonnaise spoon long enough to point a greasy finger at Glenn Reynolds:
Check out the indignation in this [Reynold’s] post after Jeff Jarvis (rightly) called him out for amplifying right-wing trash like Scaife’s Pittsburgh paper.
As one of Jeff’s commenters says of Reynolds: “He’s nothing but a whore for Bush who continues to lie about being a whore for Bush.”
This sentiment brought to you by Oliver Willis: paid Media Matters employee and Kerry shill—and the best friend irony’s ever had.
Christ. If Oliver were a soup, he’d be Cream of Can Anybody Really Be This Freaking Stupid?
Could be worse….
Admittedly, it’s cute that Duncan continues to sign-off his Eschaton posts with ‘atrios’.
Maybe Oliver could up his street cred if he got himself a cool nick. Any suggestions?
What fun! Lets think of names of sandwiches, cakes, and pies Oliver would be too!

Can’t think…. theallright.com……can’t think……. theallright.com….can’t think….. theallright.com….bumper sticker…… can’t think…… pretty lady……. can’t think……… flag……… theallright.com……… can’t think……..
Two points:
1. Jeff Jarvis’s only point was that The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review isn’t really major media; he does, in the process, mention that Scaife owns the paper and calls the paper’s coverage “right-wing crackpot attention”. In the very next paragraph, however, he says “I’m simply saying that a story in Scaife’s paper doesn’t qualify to me as major media attention, that’s all.”
2. It doesn’t really matter who prints or says something. What matters is whether that something is true. I consider Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and John Kerry to be serial liars, but I’d believe one of them if he told me that the sun was going to rise in the east tomorrow. Probably.
Just a suggestion – when tracking back to O’Dub, consider placing the zinger line at the top of the post, so that it shows up on his site, too. I saw your trackback there, and was truly disappointed not to have found his site giving him the old Campbell’s Slam.
Jarvis’ overall discourse with the Professor was not at all incendiary, but Olly dressed it up with the tertiary reference to a commenter’s post. I wonder if Glenn regrets giving the shitflinger that first big link?
Maybe OW should call himself “Putrios.”
Jeff, no kryptonite reference?
Oliver Willis (AKA Elephantitus Erkle) is just Michael Moore with a tan.
Oliver Willis: Like a baseball bat to a dead horse.
I’d believe that John Kerry personally swam to Hanoi and freed all our POW’s with a Marine KBar in his teeth before I’d believe that Atrios had a PhD in Economics.
Funny how Reynolds is labeled “indignant” by Free Will(y)s, when Reynolds, at his most, barely reaches the level of mildly peeved. Hell, when Yglasias said “Fuck you” just because Reynolds had the gall to point out that something Matt didn’t seem to make sense, Glenn, firebrand that he is, essentially shrugged, noted that Matt’s still made no sense, and suggested that he spend more time explaining himself rather than flinging verbal feces.
Not to mention, Russell, how often Glenn would give these guys links and traffic over the last couple of years just to get crapped on by way of thanks.
Is “Fatrios” already taken?
The Instapundit:…….(after about eight Guniess and a few Jagers)
Here’s what they say about the Instapundit….
Bah!! He’s a right wing shrill for supporting the war in Iraq!!
Bah!! He’s a left wing shrill for supporting a womans right to keep the fucking government away from her body!!
So……..he’s a liberal?
Democrat?
Republican?
Anti-terrorist?
Commie?
Capitalist?…..well, who isn’t?
Libertarian?
…..jeebus Jeff, how come you get to have all of the Hunter Thompson type fun while I have to be the responsible one?
Dammit….like Roman Newsprint to Eclectic Font it is….
now shaddup and pass me that Bushmill’s bottle…….
Scott, is Theallright.com your site? If so, how did you get a picture of my butt???
When Willis is quoting Robert McClelland, who’s maybe second on the tedious-troll list under JadeGold/Guy Cabot, as someone who exemplifies the tone of any comments section (even Willis’ or Atrios’
, well, the mind boggles.
Yes, McClelland, the author of other sage observations as:
and
and let’s not forget the immortal
Yes, you can have the entire collection of hits in one comments section for…well, for free. Because who’d pay for the steaming piles, anyway?
Oh, and Mr. McClelland is Canadian. He’s spent at least a year whining about Bush, and he’s Canadian. The guy seriously needs a life. Maybe we should take up a collection and buy him one.
Yes. I’m so stupid you read my site and link to it practically every goddamn day with the same tired shtick.
Only fair. I mean, you stay stupid practically every goddamn day, right?
Here:
Chocolate chip cookies.
Fudge.
Bacon cheeseburgers.
Don’t say I never gave you anything, Oliver.
Oh wow, Slartibartfast, thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t read Jarvis’ comment section, so I didn’t realize Willis had sunk to quoting Robert ‘“F**k the Jews” isn’t antisemitic!’ McClelland.
But then, I hadn’t realized that there was still a blog out there he hadn’t been banned from.
That’s too goddamn funny.
Yes. I’m so stupid you read my site and link to it practically every goddamn day with the same tired shtick.
Now we know: Skin, when stretched beyond a certain point, becomes thin.
hmmm, thinking of a word to describe this post, what is it???? maybe FASCIST? or RACIST?
You digital KKK will be shut down, by any means necessary.
Hmmm, thinking of a word to describe that comment: maybe misguided, or ignorant, or just-plain-too-stupid-for-words. Jeff’s post never mentioned race, and you know it. You’re a worse shit-flinger than Oliver. And secondly, look up the word fascist before you use it again. Maybe next time you’ll come close to applying it to the right situation.
I THINK that soul sister meant to be ironic – if not, please return your post to its original, upright position and resume flaming…
I for one don’t find the shtick tired at all. Honestly it has the staying power of Ted Kennedy’s head or Michael Moore’s love for bacon fat. Of course these things have far less potency when the subjects aren’t making fools of themselves on a regular basis.
Kathleen- The world would be a much sadder place if the fence around your pool was a foot higher…
p.s. Emoticons- AAaaarrrrghghhhh!!!!
p.p.s. Hey Jeff, ever think about getting a snazzy favicon for the site???? I love favicons….
Vegetable.
He’s got to be Vegetable.
Scott, HaHa, I actually glanced out at my pool on that one! *blonde moment*
This thread seriously needed to go to a happy place for a least a second.
I hope soul sister was being sarcastic, Jeff may be a potty mouth high energy party too much fat hater, but thats about it.
Hee hee, made ya look, Kathleen…
Criticism of Oliver is Facist or Racist? Such wonderful lovers of dissent, these folks. Just warms my heart.
NOT.
When Oliver admits that he’s the whore for Kerry that he is on a daily basis, then he MIGHT be able to complain about Glenn without pegging the laugh meter.
ironic??? what is ironic is how racist and fascist you repugs are. you make fun of oliver and say he eats fried chicken and then you boast about having a kkk hood and we are not supposed to be offended? why you hate so much? why you spread fear??? you are digital brownshirt nazis and we will soon regulate you and your hate. fuck you and yoru wimpy draft doding liar of a “president!”
Fried chicken, mayonnaise, Democratic Senator’s Kleagle hood…what’s the difference, right?
Soul Sister must be a parody. Or else Oliver’s found an equal in the stupidity department, and I just don’t think that’s possible.
Did I miss a food group? Cuz I see we covered every one but I don’t see Fried chicken anywhere.
Soul Sister, seriously, this is all about making fun of the DEMOCRATS, the thing with Byrd illustrates how the dems call everyone in the Republican party racists, but never their own former KKK member. Get it?
This is also about making fun of a democratic mouthpiece that doesn’t let facts get in his way. This has NOTHING to do with skin color.
But then we aren’t suppose to get offended by being called Nazis. Who is really hating here?
I really hope Soul Sister is a parody. But if she’s not, we have a new source of unintentional comedy gold.
(Which is, by the way, the best kind of comedy gold.)
Jeff Goldstein is a sick man who isn’t worthy of cleaning out the toilets in a dog house, let alone as a blogger. It is almost treasonous for him to flat out say that I am a pot calling the kettle fat and drunk on squeeze butter.
Such a disgusting slur transcends party. It’s filth. It’s slime. It’s a slur.
People like you, you hate this country. You hate what we stand for, and you’ll do anything possible to get around the American people. You’re the worst sort of slanderer, because you’re a coward. You sit in your house, in your secure and undisclosed location, sending our soldiers off to die, enriching the pockets of your buckraking pals at Halliburton who fleece us, making up crazy theories to justify your misdeeds, and now you allege that the current leadership of the Democratic party is one with terror? You have no shame, no soul, no humanity.
May you rot. May your hollow husk of a being shrivel up and be discarded in the dustbin of history, along with all of humanity’s mistakes and missteps. You’ve got no right. No God damn right.
Mom…? Is that you?
Olivia,
You got toilets in your doghouse? That must be some really good shit.
Wait – was that a sarcastic parody? I can’t tell, I’ve been reading too many lefty blogs and that’s how they actually write.
Oh man, my sides hurt Olivia.
Hey, you told Willis to get a catchy nickname, didn’t you?
Well why make fun of him for using it?
You go, Soul Sister.
Olivia, I agree with you. Jeff is indeed a sick man if he’s got friends tied in with Halliburton and he’s not sharing his ill-gotten gains with the rest of us.
Damn him.
And to impugn someone as patriotically predisposed as Ollie with an obvious slur like “Squeeze butter”? Oh, I just don’t know if I can continue to live in a world that tolerates this sort of behavior!
But I guess I’d be willing to forgive him for a little of that Halliburton money. No, really. Just a few grand and I’ll forget this ever happened.
This just goes to show that, if you put a monkey in front of a computer, sooner or later you’ll end up with one Oliver Willis and two Oliver Willis supporters.
so you think black people are monkeys? nuff said, you are a racist and fascist too. i agree with olivia above. you have no right.
Oh, you labotimized bore, it’s a play on “If you put a thousand monkeys in front of a thousand typewriters, sooner or later you’ll get Hamlet.”
You’re the racist– who immediately sees any reference to monkeys as some kind of comment about race.
Ahh darn it. I see now that Olivia was just posting a parody of something on Ollie’s blog about Dick Cheney. Got taken in by the wording.
But Jeff, I still need some of that Halliburton money. Ok?
You owe me because you pointed me to Ollie’s place and I looked long enough to find the reference. Thus I’m mentally anguished. (Obviously) And as any person who spent time in Ollie’s world would know, I’m entitled to a cash settlement if I’m in any way inconvenienced. So I’ll be looking for my Halliburton check any day now.
Jeff, it looks like we’re both wrong.
Someone wrote me that he’s really “Minestrokin’ to Pictures Of Supermodels” soup.
I hate admitting I’m wrong.
Jeff, I can see where this is going, you getting your friends to demand a share of what we’re paying you. It won’t woprk. Your budget is already raising eyebrows with the accountants, and if they ever read this blog and find out what you spend it on there’ll be hell to pay.
Extra money to hand out to your friends just won’t make it to board approval. Sorry.
You guys are brutal.
Just out of curiousity, does anybody follow Glenn’s nanotechnology posts?
As far as odd hobbyist diversions go, it’s up there with Ham Radio and Garden Railroading in terms of benign geekiness.
How about just a new slogan for Oliver. Considering he’s attracted a groupie in “soul sister” I suggest “Like a HUMONGUS freaking electro-magnet for stupid.”
AS a monkey, your quotes about 1000 monkeys is just monk-ist. You think monkeys are dum? I work for Halyburton and will not stand for Bush being called Chimpee…I KNOW Chimpee and that Bush is no monkey!!!
get off monkey’s back!
Who are you kidding with your outlandish claims about not being racist, Jeff? Did Karen Hughes pass you those talking points?
In truth, we all know that the RNC pays you to talk smack, make fun of crippled transgendered minority school children, and eat barbecued minority babies for breakfast, downing them with a tall glass of Glenn Reynolds’ patended “Puppy Blend” mixed with rotgut in a big milkshake. That’s right – ground puppies in *milk* – which we all know is a completely and exclusionarily white beverage, except in its racially traitorous “Chocolate Milk” form.
Your hateful Repukelikan spite will be ended when Kerry takes office, and banishes the Rush-Rove Reich Robots, taking back what is rightfully ours, the Oval Office. Like a wise man once said, “get away from that pile of my clothes on the lawn with that blowtorch, bee-atch, I’ll pay the damn child support.” Ooops, what I meant to say, is that he said “either you are liberal, or a racist.”
And I don’t see any liberals around here…
You forgot that Jeff has illegal immigrants serve him those barbecued minority babies for breakfast. He makes them work for their 25 cents a day (that’s before their expenses at the company store are deducted).
I gave up on those Puppy Blend milkshakes when I found out I was lactose intolerant (there I go again…discriminating against lactose). It was like Alien–something trying to get out of my stomach…
Olives: I thought the official wise man quote was, “God damn bitch set me up”, though I could be mistaken.
Bumper: Nope, nobody but Reynolds cares about nanotechnology or the minor spat he had a few months back with the moron who was cheerleading that industry. But if this new hobby keeps him from tagging railroad cars with his gang affiliation like before, then I’m all for it.
Just out of curiousity, does anybody follow Glenn’s nanotechnology posts?
Yes, I do, as a matter of fact.
From the beginning—I’ve even managed to make a few bucks in the market having gotten in on the ground floor in quite a few nano companies. So, I guess if geeky to you, is making money—then I, too, am geeky.
Although, perhaps you’d like to know what I think of someone with nothing between their ears—such as yourself?
What is it with your ad hominum attacks anyway? Jealousy? Envy?
Very, very small minded of you—kind of like nanotech.
I still like my tagline for Fat Bastard’s Mini Me.
“Oliver Willis. Like Velcro to Stupid”
See? In our wonderful country, black people have just as much right to have humorless, thin-skinned sorts among their number as <a href= “http://www.johnkerry.com/index.html“>white people</a> do. Ain’t America great?
What? No html tags?

WHAT!!??
Jeff, is this true? Are you really only paying your illegal immigrant houseboys 25 cents a day?
I’m looking at your expense vouchers and you’re claiming to pay them $25 a day! You’re raking off $24.75 a day per houseboy, and I’m not getting one red cent of that in kickbacks!
You and me gonna have a little talk.
Oh, man, I hurt myself laughing.
Think John Edwards will help me sue Jeff?
According to the Constitution, those houseboys are perfectly legal. And they get counted as 3/5ths of a person towards representation in Congress.
Jeff, you’re paid for this?
I’ve doing this for free on all these comment boards. I’m calling VRWC, Inc. right now and demanding my check.
Dammit. Now see what you’ve done?
Funniest. Damn. Thread. Ever. This should win some sort of award. It has to. And would somebody please direct soul sister to dictionary.com so she can see what the word ‘fascist’ *actually* means? The unintentional comedy factor is just off the fargin charts. Funniest. Ever.
I really like “Putrios”.
