To recap: Ace is on top of his game, although it’s not like anyone—a Senator or major newspaper, for example—listens to him.
Your post title is wrong; it should be “Portrait of
Dorian GreyGlenn Greenwald.”I wonder what Mr. Sullivan thinks of all this. Not that we’ll find out anytime soon…
Wasn’t Mona enough of a slavish following for Greenwald? All this makes me glad that actus caused me to eat my IL ARDC card…lawyers, sheesh.
In Bu$h’s AmeriKKKa, one is forced—FORCED—to dissemble. Because of the NSA.
I find it all gob-smackingly vile.
See, JeffS, if I could do html in my title fields, I would have gone with something like that. But I’m constrained by the software.
Besides, “The Portrait of Dorian Gay” is the obvious title. But I wouldn’t go there.
No, seriously. I wouldn’t.
I blame Patterico for mocking his cross-posts. That freaking Patterico FORCED him into dissembling. Besides, what people do to sockpuppets in their private lives is THEIR BUSINESS. It’s not as though any of this douchebag’s stuff is being read into the Congressional Record.
Come on people, this is easily explained.
He stated it before he didn’t.
You people want to be careful. GiGi reads Neocon minds.
I call schadenfreud on this one!
Pablo–
My post (as vermontaigne, my blogger identity):
Yes, Glenn, but what do Ellenburg and Ellison have to say on these points?
Have any of the Lefty blogs addressed or even mentioned this Greenwald matter?
Wow. Gone already!
I think I’m enjoying Ace’s attacks on the oh-so-level-headed gang at Wizbang more that anything. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy reading Paul, Kevin, JT etc. everyday, but their defense of GiGi is…..odd. They state categorically that GiGi is a lying scumbag (or something like that), yet the ONLY evidence they can base their conclusion on is GiGi’s word, which, by admission, isn’t much. Yet they are hanging to that thread of belief.
I can’t figure out what their thinking is.
Terry: apparently Andy Sully has.
Tom–
Is that Paul only, or the whole gang?
Oh, and I would have a lot more respect for the gang at Wizbang if they hadn’t shut down the comments to the GiGi/Ace thread. That looks really bad.
Yes, Tom, it does.
I sure wish I could find out who put me on the Townhouse mailing list.
It seems mostly Paul with a smattering of Kevin thrown in.
More obnoxious than his sock-puppetry is GG’s Friday post about the war.
Dan,
…which is not there??? Did you see it posted?
Hooray! Tallu-tallay! Caught, by Baal!
Can we ignore him now? Oh, wait…
I already was. Never mind.
I guess now would be a bad time to point out that commenter Shawn is Buckhead.
..
Pablo–
Yeah, I saw it publish. Elsewhere it’s said he’s notorious for nuking comments and backtracks that he doesn’t like.
TW: fiscal, fisking Greenwald is Ace’s fiscal responsibility
I BLAME MICROSOFT!!!!!!!
Actually, it’s The Picture of Dorian Gay.
Man, I’ve gotta stop smoking weed.
Not to be a knob, or anything (or, not that I can help it), but it should be “The Picture of Dorian Grey.” You’re conflating it with “Portrait of the Constitutional Law Expert as a Young Douchebag.”
Crap. And you beat me to it, as well.
How many times does this road kill have to be run over to be a greasy spot on the highway to reality, or a rotting meal in the belly of buzzards?

For me, it’s drinking more coffee before I blog in the morning.

Do I hear The Sphincter of Randi O’Gary?

Why of course you would move to Brazil and trash your country (because your civil rights are in danger)! I just wish the rest of the moonbats would get the message.

Enough.
Re: Wizbang
I am compromised as to exactly what I can say, but it’s almost all Paul.
Kevin has said some goofy stuff, but it’s Paul who’s gotten his ego personally invested in the claim that it’s Greenwald’s Magic Boyfriend writing these posts.
noah, it’s so sad that you don’t understand loving someone sooooo much that you would go anywhere for them. and in return they would brave the wilds of wingnuttia to sing your praises.
Yeah, we’d better hush up. Don’t want to end up on <a href=”http://sfbay.craigslist.org/” target=”_blank”> Craig’s List.
I predict a Commissar post regarding Wizbang Paul some time in the near future. Because I’m magical. I’m just not your boyfriend.
You derive pleasure from the suffering of psychologists?
You know, with the “But” stricken out (no offense to Mr Sullivan), we have a five syllable post, or the beginning of a Famous Jeff Goldstein Haiku. Can we get it finished?
My entry is:
Sure, this seems damning:
Greenwald is Rick Ellensburg.
Who gives a rat’s ass?
GMG,
Well, actuallly . . . yeah, most of us do.
I think it’s hilarious that there is no (real) defense of the entire episode. Those on GG’s “side” are just coming full-force with the ugly. Not that there is any possible defense. After trying the 1)”You’re ugly” and 2) “You’re just jealous”, I think they should move on to “I know you are, but what am I?”
Re the Wizbanger defenders, this poorly translated quote from the French philosopher appears to fit: “How dangerous the feeble-minded are in their frightening passion for aligning themselves behind imbeciles!”
Heh. Indeed.
— Bernard Sumner, 1989
Portrait of Lambchop as a Young Blogger, or The Bloggers From Brazil. Because of the clones.
I haven’t been hunting, but the only post on it I’ve bumped into is at Obsidian Wings, and the conclusions reached there are:
1) You Bush cultists don’t buy the cabana-boy story because no one has ever loved you.
2) Jeff is insane.
I may have been blinded by these utterly unexpected, smarter-than-you insights and missed something else, though.
Oh, Glenn! You look the picture of Doris Day!
Greenwald’s toast.
Man, if only Greenwald would threaten to slap somebody with his cock or touch their sister in all her secret places lots, then he’d totally be toast on the extremely Christianlicous, moralitudinous Right blogosphere.
No, thanks—it landed butter-side down and the five-second rule expired three weeks ago.
I might be willing to have some of his bacon, though. It’s not likely to be saved.
I have yet to see evidence he has the weapon required for this maneuver.
TW: obvious
Yes, it was. But I said it anyway.
Yeah xx because there is a great similarity between funny threats of cockslapping and, you know, lying. Good show man.
And don’t worry, if you wait another 5 years you’ll be able to add that third x you crave so much.
Given that GiGi’s sockpuppetry has only recently been exposed, and may be far more extensive, he surely *might* have threatened a cock-slapping, and sister-fondling/molestation.
Though I understand the latter is quite unlikely
I believe every blog on the Left must thoroughly denounce GiGi’s mendacity, or they will expose themselves as hypocritical, poopy-headed meanies. Surely “xx” will echo this call.
Cordially…
funny threats of cockslapping
Oh, now I get it. It was all just a hilarious misunderstanding! That scamp Jeff! What a funster!
I believe every blog on the Left must thoroughly denounce GiGi’s mendacity, or they will expose themselves as hypocritical, poopy-headed meanies. Surely “xx†will echo this call.
Sure, dude, to the extent I exercise influence over the “Left blogs”…just as soon as you guys renounce Coulter, Malkin, Misha, and, yes, Jeff “Giant Tool” Goldstein hisself.
Well, c’mon, xx! Don’t hold back on the details—just how giant is Jeff’s tool? You admit to seeing It, so talk!
Me, I think he stands on a chair to do his cockslapping. Then again, I’m a cynic. Confirmation would be appreciated.
A member of Townhouse, eh?
mojo—is that portrait rated “G”, or is the ‘dillo in a compromising position?
xx (what that: twice the has-been?)
Perhaps I misjudged you to be a Greenwaldian, well, “cultist,” if not yet another sock-puppet. For you convincingly demonstrate unawareness of the Great Man’s standard. Which is, roughly, all must denounce what the Great Man deplores. So my pixels were wasted. Oh, well.
But cheer up, mate: the sock-puppet swarm issuing from Casa Greenwald was summoned for the express purpose of making sure everyone knew how famous and prominent GiGi is. Mission Accomplished: now we can’t stop talking about (and pointing and laughing at) him.
So what’s the real beef?
Cordially…
That and a flesh-colored fire hose.
Yea, I’m down wid dat.
just how giant is Jeff’s tool? You admit to seeing It, so talk!
Sadly, I have never seen the Great Man’s tool—my description was based solely on his posts on this, what’s it called, weblog. You might want to talk to Pablo and B Moe.
A compassionate-Conservative warning to trolls: be very careful, as you’re currently witnessing the latest manifestation of that old adage “Those Bloggers Whom The Gods Would Destroy, They First Make Jeff Goldstein Mad At Them.”
Cordially…

vin diesel, jr.?
or
just a little porn?
Denounce Misha?
Dude, I’m the Imperial Minister for Useless Information.
tw: hundred. Hundreds are called, but few are cockslapped.
Nope.
Kissy-kissy.
NO FREAKIN’ HUGS
Some day, sparky.
And then you can at last exclaim:
“I have seen the tool, and he is me!”
I’m TOTALY denounce Misha, bwt.
Aslo, Riddle me this, dingers:
What is so wrong with sock puppets in the frist place. It’s
(a) Recycling
(b) Freedom of Speach (in the Constituition—look it up)
(c) Shows creativity of spirit, a “sort of” roll playing— whicjh is can be very eductation/theraputic for values
Just sayin’
Dan Collins:
If you are up to taking a request, please, please,
Pretty Please,
write something to the tune of Copacabana.
It’s such a merry little song.
TW:plant
potted plants tell no lies
I’m think Witheld makes a very good points. I guess its touche, this time, huh, dingers?
I did. They pointed out that someone who is partial to pornography (why else sign off as “xx”?) would be in a better position to answer the question.
Alas, that’s not the case. Therefore, I conclude that you sign as “xx” because 2 x’s are needed to clearly identify your abysmal degree of ignorance, instead of the usual single x.
What… no… b-b-b-b-but… sock puppets are… bad!
How… no, my world is caving in around me!
nnggh…. AUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!
Sorry, I couldn’t find anything about “Freedom of Speach” in the Constitution.
Are you sure that’s it?
Indeed.
Sock-puppetry is rhetorical fraud.
Give actus some credit, he’s willing to prove that ‘one man who is right makes a majority’ … eventually. He hasn’t been right so far, but – goddammit – actus is out there trying all by his lonesome. And for that alone I salute him.
The problem with SockPuppetry is that one person goes out and tries to create the illusion that other people are in support of that person’s position.
.
Can I just save time and denounce Greenwald?
Or do I need to denounce EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ON THE INTERNETS?
And, let’s be perfectly clear about this, there is nothing creative about the name “ellison”, “Ellensburg”, or any others.
Now, if GiGi had come up with “Richard Hurts” or “Heywood Jablome”, that would have been creative.
Good stuff, that.
Now that Withheld is here, the evening can get started.
[Ezra: Don’t even try to sock Witheld. He’s sui generis.]
Looks like this “Rick Ellensburg” has been in trouble with the law before
When you do, it will come as a great surprise to you, because you certainly won’t hear it before it strikes.
It’s supersonic.
Thsts the porblem wkith dhingersssss, all trhey gut is ad hooockkk arguments/bulshit (excuze me)
Oh, now I get it. It was all just a hilarious misunderstanding! That scamp Jeff! What a funster! </blockquote>
Yes, you must take the threat of cockslapping to be a serious one. In addition, you must leave off the other part of my statement.
You are a credit to those who argue on the internets everywhere! If you try hard, one day soon you may be Dowd.
And it goes like this…

Hmm, illiterate and needed a co-signer? The mind reels at the possibilities…
Um.. You need to try looking in the Constituition. Heloo? The Constituition of America? Ever heard it?
By the way, sorry if I’m don’t make myslef clear in this comment post. I’m a alittle low on sleep because of (a new baby, boy, he’s was born healthily 7’11’’ on Monday). so… Shhh.,. Sleeping now. I’m not even tell you what his name because of you know why. Accordingly, he’s in conginto. Forgive me. (Okay I’m TOTALY fishing for for congraduations, I’m admit.)
Whopps! Sorry a typo on my name in that post which is Ezra Heldwith (not Witheld, whose no relation).
(I do think he’s often scores some very good points on you dingers, but that’s just the me talking.)
Many blessings on you & yours, Ezra
Thankyou, Pug.
BWT, its because of I dont want John Ashcroft pawing over his libary checkouts, is why.
Congrats Ezra. May we be strong enough now to ensure he grows up to live in a world of peace.
As already stated Witheld/Heldwit (a little more originality next time, ‘K?)
it gives the appearance that your opinion is shared by others and if posted where you usually don’t go, it might add to the weight of your argument more than if you had done them under your usual moniker.
Until discovered, at which time it is wondered why you had to troll in disguise. Then it is seen as an overblown ego in action, ie. I don’t have supporters here so I’ll invent some. Patterico had both Greenwald himself AND puppets posting. Why did he have to invent the puppets, if not for the appearance of having more support there than he really had?
Um, David “Block” (if relly your name, I doubt it), I notice you don’t even try to TOUCH Witheld’s very coherent argument of recycling (just harp, harp, harp on puppets, or whatever). Instead of get obsessed on the littel minutia of whose name is on the post, why not address the substenance of the argument?
Oh, that’s right, you have no argemnet, dinger. I’m keep forgetting that.
Aslo, I bet your against recycling, to boot. Aslo (OGM!) puppets! Puppets!?!?!? Who doesn’t like a puppets? Leave it to dingers to be AGAINST puppets.
Sorry. It really is my name. Dingbat.
Yea, I heard of it.
And I can confidently say there is NO “Freedom of Speach”.
There IS, however, a “Freedom of Speech”.
Although I’m not quite sure how that matters here.
I might respect you more if you quit throwing “dinger” around. But since that’s not likely, I think that ignoring you is the best action, at this point.
Bye.
I’d respect him more if he knew what the “Free Speech” portion of the First Amendment actually meant.
Heck, I’d be happy if he just knew how to spell it correctly.
Oh, and Ezra, fix your e-mail.
I’m sure uh, “Witheld” wouldn’t like to get your e-mail.
Oh, that’s just great, “Block.” Ignore what your don’t understand. Plug your fingers deep in those waxey dinger ears and “La lal lal lal la!” That’s just another way your curving my freedom of speach, frankly. What happened to America!?!?!? This is not my America.
Um, TomB, you may want to check your facts before you post, mkay?
The Constituition still guaranties are freedom of speach where I come from. Or does it? Let’s ask Shawn Penn. That’s the sad of it.
Uh, David, Tom….
No, I can’t bring myself to do it.
Witheld is the master of blogosity.
Guarantee it where? What, exactly, does the SPEECH portion of the First Amendment say?
I still don’t see what you have against puppets. You know Kermit Frog was a puppet too. Is that make him “unpatriotic” or something?
This is a little OT, but can i Just say I love the expression: “mkay”?
I just love it, is all.
Wow, Witheld doesn’t know what the First Amendment to the Constitution says.
How embarassing.
