I’m starting to detect a theme to today’s posts. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it feels really theme-y. Yup, there’s gotta be some sorta theme to these posts.
Give me a hint: are you calling Martha Stewart fat?
Okay, my spam word was “mysokindar”. That isn’t a word. This is like the 4th time this has happened. Knock it off.
Well, it appears that someone does worse with the ladies than me. I will not eat the gun as long as Willis breathes. And my spammer word was ‘brought’, how cool is that?
“Sorry, Chubby, I’m disease-free and have both brains and taste. In other words, I’m a Republican, and you have NO chance. Now, here’s a fiver for the drink. Go console yourself with Fritos and a Moolatte’.”
quid pro quo: This is that famous liberal nuance, right? [from your site]
The Winger Irregulars are decentralized like al-Qaeda cells and they can be “activated” instantly and running at full force within a matter of hours. A full deployment of the Irregulars costs absolutely nothing. Since their attack is distributed, there is no accountability.
Ah, not so “straight.” It sounds like you’re excited with that idea. Interesting “insult,” for a guy with yellow diva sunglasses. Maybe that explains your fixation on Oliver Willis’s looks?
Actually, no, I’m not excited at all by the fact that you seem very interested in the configuration of my facial hair. In fact, I find it creepy. And you creepy. And Oliver heavyset. And a bit daft.
And those are shooting glasses. But they are kinda bad ass.
It’s creepy if I insult you in response to name-calling Oliver Willis, but it’s not creepy to spend eight posts calling him fat? Ah, hypocrisy. Keep up the good work shilling for a hypocritical political ideology.
It’s creepy if I insult you in response to name-calling Oliver Willis, but it’s not creepy to spend eight posts calling him fat? Ah, hypocrisy. Keep up the good work shilling for a hypocritical political ideology.
I see you share Oliver’s gift for reading comprehension.
No, it’s not creepy if you insult me in response to name-calling Oliver Willis. It’s creepy that you seem very interested in the configuration of my facial hair (as I’d hoped to make clear above w/ these lines: “I’m not excited at all by the fact that you seem very interested in the configuration of my facial hair. In fact, I find it creepy).
Incidentally, do you even understand the meaning of the word “hypocrisy”? Or is that just one of your important-sounding throwaway words? Because your usage is quite unclear.
Which, I suppose, is to be expected from a guy who frequents Oliver’s den of grammatical attrocities.
“Which, I suppose, is to be expected from a guy who frequents Oliver’s den of grammatical attrocities.”
If you knew how to spell “atrocities,” then maybe I’d accept your insults on my grammar.
Also, you consider it “creepy” that I comment on your looks and yet you comment on Oliver Willis’s looks EIGHT TIMES in one day. If that isn’t “creepy” by your standards, then that’s a great example of hypocrisy.
CraigC: No, a typo doesn’t invalidate the argument. My point about his hypocrisy does, though.
I’m surprised you don’t agree! Oh, wait, right-wing hacks don’t respond to logic. They just shill for their masters. Shill away, CraigC! Make Karl Rove proud!
Well, I’m not big on the spellchecker, Straight Talker, because frankly, that’s what editors are for; and this being an online forum and not an academic journal, I can be a little more lax with the dictionary consulting before “publishing.”
But back to my point: I consider it creepy that you fixate on *for the third time) the configuration of my facial hair.You may find it creepy that I fixate on Oliver’s enormity, but I’m not fixating on the configuration of his facial hair. So, you see, there’s no hypocrisy. Now, had you fixated on my enormity, and had I replied that I found that creepy, then there’d be hypocrisy.
And I’m not sure political affiliation has anything to do with this.
Dave —
Well, there are more pictures in the comments here. Knock yourself out.
Oh, no. I’ve been skewered by the inexorable logic of a Knight of the League of Assholes. Because, it can’t possibly be that you’re actually a fucking Klingon. Yes, you’re right. I AM A RIGHT-WING HACK, AND JEFF GOLDSTEIN IS MY MASTER! JEFF, WHAT SHOULD I DO HERE?
Jeff: So, you’re saying there’s a difference between commenting on facial hair and commenting on body weight? It’s “creepy” to insult facial hair, but it’s not “creepy” to insult a person’s weight eight times in one day?
They both involve looks. They both involve lifestyles. I just think that you’re a bully, and your ego took a hit with my comment on your goofy facial hair styling. You’re not as thick-skinned as you thought, I guess. Maybe you should think twice before throwing out insults next time.
It’s been good talking with you folks. Keep on shillin’!
Actually, your accusation of “creepiness” is based on the fact that you think it’s creepy for another person to obsess over your personal features, right? I don’t think the creepiness is relegated to facial hair, unless you have some deep seated hair-guilt-fetish or something.
Now, that same thing could be said of a person fixated on Oliver’s weight. So they are analogous. You are a hypocrite for criticizing someone else’s impulses because they are the same as your own. The end result of the impulse matters not.
But that level of nuance is something you don’t find in your steady diet of talking points, so I forgive you if this goes way over your head.
Um, well, in one instance, there is something specific I find creepy (your obsession with my facial hair configuration), and in the other instance, there is something you find creepy (what you believe to be my obsession with Oliver’s Yoohoo-leaking man titties)—so it’s hardly hypocritical for me not to be creeped out by something you find creepy, but that I don’t.
As to my ego taking a hit… Again, I followed up your comment by posting a pic that supported your claim (that I looked like Wooly Willy—and gee, what a zinger!). Why? Because I found it amusing, not because I was wounded by it.
I mean, Christ, do you think that you—an anonymous poster on an internet comment thread—are going to cause me any existential distress? Talk about ego!
And I’m hardly a “bully.” Oliver spent the last week plus calling a lot of people I know and respect all sort of names. So I gave him a little taste of his own medicine. He can handle it. And if not, maybe he’s the one you should try peddling your life lessons to.
Where is your picture posted, by the way? Couldn’t find it on your site.
And as to my ability to understand nuance, again, I’m quite comfortable with my education (such as it is). In fact, just as I’m not shy about giving you links to pictures of me, I’m not shy to giving you a link to some of my course notes. But please, no need to point out typos and the like. These are just notes.
Now I’m gonna go watch “X-Files” and drink a Guinness and dream of becoming a Renaissance man….
Don’t give up, Straight Talker! You almost have him trapped in the powerful grasp of your shaking fingers! RAGE ON!
Come on, Liberal Avenger, only one post from you? WHAT THE FUCK? LET’S SEE SOME MORE AVENGING PLS.
Dave, more talk of man sex, please. Forget Jeff Gannon, all of you getting played by Goldstein could go to the top! THIS COULD BE THE THING THAT BRINGS DOWN CHIMPLER. FIGHT HARDER!!!!
Um, well, in one instance, there is something specific I find creepy (your obsession with my facial hair configuration), and in the other instance, there is something you find creepy (what you believe to be my obsession with Oliver’s Yoohoo-leaking man titties)â€â€so it’s hardly hypocritical for me not to be creeped out by something you find creepy, but that I don’t.
Jeff: Well, I never said that I found your obsession with Oliver’s looks creepy. Therefore, you’re just making stuff up to suit your argument. That’s pretty much the right-wing modus operandi, isn’t it?
Now, since you dub two jokes written by me about your facial hair an “obsession,” I would consider your DOZEN jokes about Oliver’s weight much more than an obsession. Perhaps it’s love?
I’m not on some crusade against the “evil right wing.” You’re exaggerating in order to avoid the point I was making.
It’s all about hypocrisy, folks. If Jeff spends the entire day making jokes about Oliver’s weight, and he can’t take some jokes about his questionable facial hair style without calling me “creepy,” then I’d say there’s a double standard there, unless he considers himself “creepy.”
How did I get dragged into this argument? Who knows? I admit that I’m a little creeped out with myself right now.
“Keep up the good work shilling for a hypocritical political ideology.”
“Oh, wait, right-wing hacks don’t respond to logic. They just shill for their masters. Shill away, CraigC! Make Karl Rove proud!”
“It’s been good talking with you folks. Keep on shillin’!”

Lovin’ it! Such a wordsmith, such a, dare I say it, STRAIGHT TALKER! And so modest, to boot, that he can’t even take the credit for how he turns Oliver Willis fat jokes into a scathing critique of the right. Way to go, ST!
You all have been PWNED by the BEST OF THE LEFT TODAY.
Straight Talker: but it’s not creepy to spend eight posts calling him fat? Ah, hypocrisy.
and yet you comment on Oliver Willis’s looks EIGHT TIMES in one day.
but it’s not “creepy†to insult a person’s weight eight times in one day?
I would consider your DOZEN jokes about Oliver’s weight much more than an obsession.
Jeez, man, get your facts straight! This is the FIFTH post insulting O-Chubb’s appearance, which only happened a total of seven times if you count both of the updates.
1. Desert menu
2. “Chubby Pitbull”
3. Diet cola (with Devil Gogs update)
4. Sno-cones (with soft pretzel update)
5. “Fatboy Crossing”
This is out of ten anti-O-Chubb posts overall.
The rest of the time, Jeff focused on Oliver’s stupidity, his inability to follow a logical argument, his propensity to make spurious charges of racism, and attributed to him a questionable taste in cars.
But, I did notice that Willis himself referred to Jeff’s site as having “eight” posts on him (which was true at the time he wrote his post, but not at the time you wrote your comments), so clearly, there are only two explanations:
You all have been PWNED by the BEST OF THE LEFT TODAY.
As if Jeff et al. ever had a chance…after all, who could withstand the awesome brainpower of a poster that uses “wackyguy15” as his email name? Pwned, indeed.
I think that the left has made as good a showing as they can manage here. Jolly Good Show, and all that.
And Jeff has proven that he is still willing to engage those whose brains are disengaged. Delightful. And it shows more fortitude than I am willing to produce.
Oh, am I being condescending to the stupid? Brilliant!
Jeebus, the stupid are hopefully self-evident. Anyone who thinks O-dub “like iron pyrite to stupid” , for example, is a good spokesman for intelligent thought, is obviously deficient in mental faculties.
I regret that I fell asleep before people started having fun on this thread last night. Is it too late to suggest that the name “Straight” Talker smacks of denial?
I notice he seems to have woken up this AM from his Twinkie-induced coma and removed many of the critical comments that were on his “Hickory Farms cheese blog”.
The problem with calling him out is that visits by us probably feeds his ego by raising his hit counts.
i have to admit, that Willis, and DailyKos have surprised me.
i am a Bush supporter, but my entire family, most of my friends, and classmates are dems. true, lifelong Dems. But they would NEVER say the things that the leftists bloggers seem to believe is what people really think. They are so out of touch with reality, it amazes me.
This is why I keep friends that are not political junkies. It alows me to keep perspective on the big picture. That most people do not live and breathe politics. Most people will never know who Gannon or even eason jordan is.
Most people are too busy living, even those who are Dems. Where are the rational ones. Do they have to lose in 2006 and 2008 before waking up?
Uh, no, your attack on my intellectual abilities didn’t hurt me at all. The course notes are on theories of language and interpretation and are already linked in a post listed under greatest hits (“Pomo-a-Go-Go”), so it was really no trouble re-linking them. Thought the irony of their being about theories of meaning and interpretation might occur to you. But I suppose that’s too much to ask.
All this talk of configuring facial hair makes me miss my own late beard. I looked like a less ugly Abraham Lincoln, or a Jewish Mr. Spock (though I’m not Jewish).
But, my wife voted that I should get rid of it, and I didn’t get a vote.
(Finally! A groovy spam password! Ch-ch-ch-changes!)
Wonderful. Although shaming a retarded member of an ignorant political stripe feels a bit like plucking feathers off an already wounded tufted tit-mouse.
I’m probably going to be too literal for you people, but I find that OW’s name-calling was parodied by Jeff and then taken literally by the OW supporters here. Once OW descends into name-calling, the only response (besides ignoring him) is parody. For example, one can’t argue with someone who simply calls one an “idiot” or whatever. I find it “creepy” that these people can’t take a joke. I find it “creepy” that these people think that “hypocricy” is the greatest of sins, as if it wasn’t almost universal in the West. If you want to find someone who is absolutely true to their values, then convert to Islam and enlist in al Qaeda–bin Laden is no hypocrite!
That was lame. As a CITIZEN COMMENTER, I DEMAND…UM…I DEMAND A RETURN TO SOMETHING NOT QUITE SO CHILDISH BUT STILL SOMEWHAT TASTELESS. PORN PERHAPS? OR MAYBE SOME MORE MARTHA?
People, people, come now. The negativity of this thread is depressing. I feel blackness closing in on our souls. Soon we may be lost to dark, churning hatred forever. We need to step back and remember our spiritual inspiration. We need to think of his example in these times.
We need to ask ourselves: WWJGD?
What would Jeff Gannon do?
As we mourn the loss of our brother, our conservative colossus, our icon, we must honor his teachings of love and forgiveness. Let us pity Willis, not insult him.
If Willis is like kryptonite to stupid, then he must wear a lead apron when he sits there in front of his computer (each of his sausage-shaped index fingers lovingly pecking out another stream of ungrammatical, illogical drivel).
I like how he’s claiming that he’s “won” because he’s being attacked. If that’s the case, he’s certainly conceded victory to you, Bill, Malkin, and Instapundit. If there’s a logic in there, it certainly escapes me.
I like how he’s claiming that he’s “won†because he’s being attacked.
Yep, just like the way Bush & Co. claimed shortly after the end of the Iraq war that the increase in insurgent attacks proved that we had them on the ropes. I’m glad you finally see the flawed logic. It proves there’s still hope for you people.
This making fun of fat people is hilarious. Can we do El Rushbo next?
“Yep, just like the way Bush & Co. claimed shortly after the end of the Iraq war that the increase in insurgent attacks proved that we had them on the ropes.”
Actually, the fact that it was “after the end of the Iraq war” would cause logical people to make such a claim. You pretty much missed that, eh?
“This making fun of fat people is hilarious. Can we do El Rushbo next?”
No, it’s only funny when the person is fat AND stupid. Like Willis.
i posted a rational post on Oliver Willis blog, and he deleted it, and my account. that tells me a lot about the “open minded” leftist.
I simply told him that Glen Reynolds had never once called him a name, and that callingothers curse words, was childish.
Some people seem to miss, that Willis is being serious. He really believes he is engaging in intellectual debate. Here, jeff is being silly to prove a point. There is a huge difference.
How pathetic of Oliver.
The Fat lazy fart.
I can say that, i have lost over 50 lbs. If he got off his butt, and stooped attacking the right. he might lose some weight. i notice his diet, didnt work. Silly, fat porker.
I don’t really have anything to add at this point. I just need to post so that I can rejoice in my anti-spam word for this comment, which is “only”. Pretty cool to have an anti-spam program that is a fan of Jerry Only and The Misfits.
“Let met get this straight. You’re an aggrieved minority blogger and you wear a Redskins shirt?”
I’m starting to detect a theme to today’s posts. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it feels really theme-y. Yup, there’s gotta be some sorta theme to these posts.
Give me a hint: are you calling Martha Stewart fat?
Okay, my spam word was “mysokindar”. That isn’t a word. This is like the 4th time this has happened. Knock it off.
Well, it appears that someone does worse with the ladies than me. I will not eat the gun as long as Willis breathes. And my spammer word was ‘brought’, how cool is that?

There, I said it.

No, it’s called humor at someone else’s deserving expense.

Number one response to a Jeff Goldstein pickup line:
1. “Sorry, I don’t date guys with facial hair styled from Wooly Willy.”
Yeah, but it’s easier to shave that than it is 70 lbs. Although I will admit that at one time we shared a striking resemblance, Wooly Willy and I…
2. “No, thank you, I do not care to be the thirty-ninth in a series of real-time empirical observations. Whatever that means.”
“Deviate.”
This site is like the Family Guy© of the Internet. No other site provides more laugh-out-loud moments.
And yet you don’t shave it. Either you think the ladies like the David Koresh look or you got your face stuck to a muffler.
How do you know I don’t shave it? Peeking in my windows are you?
I think maybe you aren’t such a “straight” talker after all.
Does that mean it’ll get cancelled for shitty ratings?
(Anti-spammer-lama-ding-dong: “good”)
Ah, not so “straight.” It sounds like you’re excited with that idea. Interesting “insult,” for a guy with yellow diva sunglasses. Maybe that explains your fixation on Oliver Willis’s looks?
Hey, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Actually, no, I’m not excited at all by the fact that you seem very interested in the configuration of my facial hair. In fact, I find it creepy. And you creepy. And Oliver heavyset. And a bit daft.
And those are shooting glasses. But they are kinda bad ass.
“Let met get this straight. You’re an aggrieved minority blogger and you wear a Redskins shirt?”
Oh, dear G*d. Please, Lord Almighty, strike Oliver down and turn him into a Cowboys fan. In Jesus’ name we pray.
It’s creepy if I insult you in response to name-calling Oliver Willis, but it’s not creepy to spend eight posts calling him fat? Ah, hypocrisy. Keep up the good work shilling for a hypocritical political ideology.
Shut up, you dumb fuck.

You’re an ass.
Why am I bothering? Go ahead, Jeff.
And by the way, I find your facial hair quite hunky.
Did Mancrush have to post another pic? God. What an ugly mofo.
Although I’m not quite sure what you mean when you talk about its “configuration.”
“Which, I suppose, is to be expected from a guy who frequents Oliver’s den of grammatical attrocities.”
If you knew how to spell “atrocities,” then maybe I’d accept your insults on my grammar.

Do you need an internet instruction guide, Dave? You don’t have to click on the links. Look away! Spare yourself the horror.
What’s with all the gay innuendo ‘round here? We trying to lure Sully back from Europe?
That’s right, a typo invalidates the argument.
Jesus Christ, you’re a moron.
Call it a morbid curiosity. I emphasize “morbid.”
Hey, Jeff, WWMD?
“That’s right, a typo invalidates the argument.”
CraigC: No, a typo doesn’t invalidate the argument. My point about his hypocrisy does, though.
I’m surprised you don’t agree! Oh, wait, right-wing hacks don’t respond to logic. They just shill for their masters. Shill away, CraigC! Make Karl Rove proud!
Well, I’m not big on the spellchecker, Straight Talker, because frankly, that’s what editors are for; and this being an online forum and not an academic journal, I can be a little more lax with the dictionary consulting before “publishing.”

You may find it creepy that I fixate on Oliver’s enormity, but I’m not fixating on the configuration of his facial hair. So, you see, there’s no hypocrisy. Now, had you fixated on my enormity, and had I replied that I found that creepy, then there’d be hypocrisy.
And I’m not sure political affiliation has anything to do with this.
Dave —
Well, there are more pictures in the comments here. Knock yourself out.
Oh, no. I’ve been skewered by the inexorable logic of a Knight of the League of Assholes. Because, it can’t possibly be that you’re actually a fucking Klingon. Yes, you’re right. I AM A RIGHT-WING HACK, AND JEFF GOLDSTEIN IS MY MASTER! JEFF, WHAT SHOULD I DO HERE?
This is fun.
Jeff: So, you’re saying there’s a difference between commenting on facial hair and commenting on body weight? It’s “creepy” to insult facial hair, but it’s not “creepy” to insult a person’s weight eight times in one day?

With every deft keystroke I can feel the pResident quake with fear! YES!!! Fight like the safety of the world DEPENDED ON IT, Talker!
… BECAUSE IT DOES!
Straight Talker, I’m going to step in and say this because things have been fun, but this is getting sad.
Jeff probably isn’t actually debating you. I doubt he really cares. I’d bet my Wooly Willy (the toy, not that!) that he’s just jerking your chain.
In short, you look kinda silly debating the proprietor of a humor blog about fat obsession vs. facial hair obsession.
And by the way, O-Dub sweats Crisco.
BUT STRAIGHT TALKER IS FIGHTING THE EVIL RIGHT WING! DON’T STOP HIM NOW! HE IS TAKING IT TO THE MAN!

I think that the left has made as good a showing as they can manage here. Jolly Good Show, and all that.
And Jeff has proven that he is still willing to engage those whose brains are disengaged. Delightful. And it shows more fortitude than I am willing to produce.
Oh, am I being condescending to the stupid? Brilliant!
Jeebus, the stupid are hopefully self-evident. Anyone who thinks O-dub “like iron pyrite to stupid” , for example, is a good spokesman for intelligent thought, is obviously deficient in mental faculties.
I gotta get an editor for my drunken commenting.
Keyword “wall”, as in the wall I’ve hit tonight.
I regret that I fell asleep before people started having fun on this thread last night. Is it too late to suggest that the name “Straight” Talker smacks of denial?
yeah!
it is about time somebody called Willis out.
His blog has no substance, and he just rants.
I am amazed that people actually read it.
I notice he seems to have woken up this AM from his Twinkie-induced coma and removed many of the critical comments that were on his “Hickory Farms cheese blog”.
The problem with calling him out is that visits by us probably feeds his ego by raising his hit counts.
Lord knows he doesn’t need fed.

Where have you been?
Jeff,
Rove called. Effective 2/14/2005, Willis can now be called “gianormous”.
VWRC
p.s. “Yoohoo-leaking man titties” had Karl giggling like a school girl.
blood in the water. ya’ll er hungry.
now, can we just let ohdub drown in the shallow end of the pool? let the marketplace of ideas weed him out.
i have to admit, that Willis, and DailyKos have surprised me.
i am a Bush supporter, but my entire family, most of my friends, and classmates are dems. true, lifelong Dems. But they would NEVER say the things that the leftists bloggers seem to believe is what people really think. They are so out of touch with reality, it amazes me.
This is why I keep friends that are not political junkies. It alows me to keep perspective on the big picture. That most people do not live and breathe politics. Most people will never know who Gannon or even eason jordan is.
Most people are too busy living, even those who are Dems. Where are the rational ones. Do they have to lose in 2006 and 2008 before waking up?
Maybe you covered it in previous post, Jeff, but it appears you left out the pick-up line:
“Uh, you gonna eat those fries? Because…”
How about: “My name is Oliver. I’m unemployed and live with my parents.”
Man-crush–
Uh, no, your attack on my intellectual abilities didn’t hurt me at all. The course notes are on theories of language and interpretation and are already linked in a post listed under greatest hits (“Pomo-a-Go-Go”), so it was really no trouble re-linking them. Thought the irony of their being about theories of meaning and interpretation might occur to you. But I suppose that’s too much to ask.
All this talk of configuring facial hair makes me miss my own late beard. I looked like a less ugly Abraham Lincoln, or a Jewish Mr. Spock (though I’m not Jewish).
But, my wife voted that I should get rid of it, and I didn’t get a vote.
(Finally! A groovy spam password! Ch-ch-ch-changes!)
Who would’ve thought that Bush’s dog was a Willis fan? I didn’t know his name was David, tho…
Later,

Sexist!
Good Lord… DovBear & ‘Jack’ on Friday; now Straight Talker on Monday..
Why do these people come unarmed to a knife fight and then refuse to roll over and die once they’ve been gutted like a fish?
Of course… it’s because theyre liberals.. no sense of when to gracefully say goodnight..
GIRL : Hi, I’m feeling naughty tonight.
WILLIS : Jeff Gannon
GIRL : Huh? I said I’m feeling n-a-u-g-h-t-y. Prrr..
WILLIS : Jeff Gannon
GIRL : Shutup! Listen loser, I lost a bet. It’s either you or the homeless leper outside. Let’s get this over with.
WILLIS : Jeff Gannon
GIRL : Will you stop with the “Jeff Gannon” shit already. You’re such a homo!
WILLIS : Yes, exactly! He’s a homo. Can you believe it? A homo in the Whitehouse press corp. Un-freaking-believable.
GIRL : Who’s a homo?
WILLIS : Jeff Gannon
GIRL : Oh forget it. I’m humping the leper.
Wonderful. Although shaming a retarded member of an ignorant political stripe feels a bit like plucking feathers off an already wounded tufted tit-mouse.
Lord have mercy. This is so damn funny I can’t stand it.
And to top it all off? My anti-spam word is “heavy”.
I’m probably going to be too literal for you people, but I find that OW’s name-calling was parodied by Jeff and then taken literally by the OW supporters here. Once OW descends into name-calling, the only response (besides ignoring him) is parody. For example, one can’t argue with someone who simply calls one an “idiot” or whatever. I find it “creepy” that these people can’t take a joke. I find it “creepy” that these people think that “hypocricy” is the greatest of sins, as if it wasn’t almost universal in the West. If you want to find someone who is absolutely true to their values, then convert to Islam and enlist in al Qaeda–bin Laden is no hypocrite!
That was lame. As a CITIZEN COMMENTER, I DEMAND…UM…I DEMAND A RETURN TO SOMETHING NOT QUITE SO CHILDISH BUT STILL SOMEWHAT TASTELESS. PORN PERHAPS? OR MAYBE SOME MORE MARTHA?
yeah!
it is about time somebody called Willis out.
His blog has no substance, and he just rants.

Right now, the far left is characterized by nothing if not impotent rage.
Well, that and obesity.
Is lame the same as feeble? Just asking.
People, people, come now. The negativity of this thread is depressing. I feel blackness closing in on our souls. Soon we may be lost to dark, churning hatred forever. We need to step back and remember our spiritual inspiration. We need to think of his example in these times.
We need to ask ourselves: WWJGD?
What would Jeff Gannon do?
As we mourn the loss of our brother, our conservative colossus, our icon, we must honor his teachings of love and forgiveness. Let us pity Willis, not insult him.
It’s what Gannon would have wanted.
I posted this haiku on Ace’s website the other day, but it really speaks to the point JeffB is making:
What would Gannon do?
He would speak truth to power.
Go and do likewise.
I’m sorry there’s no Martha post to respond to cause my spambuster word is came…
See, you’re only allowed to obsess over Glenn Reynolds, Jeff Jarvis, or anybody else who’s been on TV more than Wesley Willis. I mean Oliver Willis.
Jim, How come you post so little these days?
I think it’s time for Puce to wade in on the Gannon affair.
Been busy earning money to live on. Speaking of Gannon!
Damn Goldstein, was the bacon a little too loud Sunday morning?
PS: today’s word to type for submission: “feed.” Apropos of everything.
If Willis is like kryptonite to stupid, then he must wear a lead apron when he sits there in front of his computer (each of his sausage-shaped index fingers lovingly pecking out another stream of ungrammatical, illogical drivel).
I like how he’s claiming that he’s “won” because he’s being attacked. If that’s the case, he’s certainly conceded victory to you, Bill, Malkin, and Instapundit. If there’s a logic in there, it certainly escapes me.
Tony, escapes you? Believe me, Baghdad Blob never captured it.
I like how he’s claiming that he’s “won†because he’s being attacked.
Yep, just like the way Bush & Co. claimed shortly after the end of the Iraq war that the increase in insurgent attacks proved that we had them on the ropes. I’m glad you finally see the flawed logic. It proves there’s still hope for you people.
This making fun of fat people is hilarious. Can we do El Rushbo next?
“Yep, just like the way Bush & Co. claimed shortly after the end of the Iraq war that the increase in insurgent attacks proved that we had them on the ropes.”
Actually, the fact that it was “after the end of the Iraq war” would cause logical people to make such a claim. You pretty much missed that, eh?
“This making fun of fat people is hilarious. Can we do El Rushbo next?”
No, it’s only funny when the person is fat AND stupid. Like Willis.
Later,
bbeck
They just shill for their masters. Shill away, CraigC! Make Karl Rove proud!
Someone defending Baghdad Blob by calling other people “shills” just about fries my irony meter.
Jeff, would you please send me weekly updates on the status of your facial hair? Or would that be, um . . . creepy?
Well, never mind, then.
And, by the way: Oliver is really fat. Had anyone noticed?
(Turing word: types.)
amazing.
i posted a rational post on Oliver Willis blog, and he deleted it, and my account. that tells me a lot about the “open minded” leftist.
I simply told him that Glen Reynolds had never once called him a name, and that callingothers curse words, was childish.
Some people seem to miss, that Willis is being serious. He really believes he is engaging in intellectual debate. Here, jeff is being silly to prove a point. There is a huge difference.
How pathetic of Oliver.
The Fat lazy fart.
I can say that, i have lost over 50 lbs. If he got off his butt, and stooped attacking the right. he might lose some weight. i notice his diet, didnt work. Silly, fat porker.
I don’t really have anything to add at this point. I just need to post so that I can rejoice in my anti-spam word for this comment, which is “only”. Pretty cool to have an anti-spam program that is a fan of Jerry Only and The Misfits.
