Go get your coffee, first. I want you to savor this.
From Tom Gilroy at the HuffPo, who is outraged by the Swiftboating of the blogresses hired by Edwards’ staff and who blames Rove, Rove, ROVE! and Donohue, Donohue, DONOHUE! for what’s happened, forgetting the possible role of a certain Democratic campaign staffer in helping to bring the issue to the MSM. It also turns out that the New Testament is principally about charity (which is what Edwards is about), and that Catholics are not a monolith: there are good ones (liberals) and bad ones (conservatives). Who knew?
“My father’s mansion has many rooms.” I suppose there is some similarity there.
h/t B Moe Pablo (thanks a lot, B Moe)
UPDATE: it’s a week old, but it’s so radioactively dumb that shelf-life is not an issue
Ah, blow me.
The stupid in that column is so dense that it actually blocks light. You should take a look at some of his other work for Huffpo, like his calls for impeachment which are, as you would guess, founded on solid legal principle.
This man should not be allowed to leave his house without a helmet on.
I was kind of confused by that, but since Pablo and I are really the same person it all makes sense now.
Well, as much sense as it’s ever gonna make, anyway.
The word sense should be banned from any comments about that leaking lava lamp of a post.
BTW: Are you guys the same or the result of a Sybil like split personality thing? Does that mean you are also serial killers?
just askin’… Oh, alphie’s my sockpuppet..
BWAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
(note to self, switch to decaf…)
You oughta see my father’s house…
He lost me at “Boy…”
Has anyone ever seen B Moe and Pablo in the same place?
Or… more importantly, has anyone ever seen them apart?
Turing word: “They’re the same man31 I’m telling you!”
Hey, there’s a little bit of B Moe in each and every one of us. Everybody’s got a little B Moe in ‘em, everybody, that is, except the evil opposite of B Moe, the anti-B Moe.
Glenn Greenwald has no B Moe in him.
B Moe is in Jane Hamsher, but he’s trying to get out….
Does HuffPo pay their writers?
Hey, there’s a little bit of B Moe in each and every one of us.
Aw, Mongo not like that. Mongo straight.
She pays them in bulk rate quaalludes.
That last comment would have actually been funny if I hadn’t forgotten to change my commenting name. Dammit.
I actually liked Mojo Nixon. Yeah, you’re a Gen-Xer like me.
“Sailing B Moe, Commodore B Moe….”
I’d love to see a political opinion poll on the war broken down by generation. We’d see that all the peacenik, antiamerican shit is coming from the same baby-boomer peacenik antiamerican shits.
B Moe’s tears cure cancer, but he’s never cried….
Get that guy a vagina!
Serious question:
Is swiftboating now supposed to mean slandering someone by telling the truth about what they actually said/did?
Or is it still au courant for “slander?”
If any lies were told, I missed them.
MarkD:
Swiftboating has nothing to do with the truth and everything to do with questioning a candidate’s story/motives/credibility on politcal and personal issues.
It continues to amaze me that all we were doing was asking how the candidate felt about the writings of one of the crafters of his message. We used her own words. They shoot the messenger. Cary did the same thing to the Swiftboat guys. It’s all smoke and mirrors and indicates a lack of serious interest in a real debate.
Much like non-binding resolutions…
He’s bloody good, this Gilroy. We have a sort of composite, all-purpose Stalinist apologist in England called Dave Spart, who has an occasional column in the satirical magazine Private Eye. But he makes more and better use of the words “basically” and “er”.
Stick a few “er, basically, er’s” into Gilroy’s stuff and just watch it come to life.
ugh, i’m only half way through my first cuppa, I couldn’t make it past the second paragraph.
and Pablo, I loved the Mojo Nixon bit.
When I look out into your eyes out there,
When I look out into your faces,
You know what I see?
I see a little bit of B Moe
In each and every one of you out there.
You think they’re talking to Allah? No, they’re talking to B Moe!
Tedious reading at best….at worst complete BS.
MEMO to the left;
Freedom of speach means you can legally say anything you want. However it does not guarantee freedom from consequenses.
Remember Makaka-gate?
Man, I feel honored, I saw Mojo and Skid way back in the day and they blew the roof off the Uptown Lounge in good old Athens GA.
The joke by the way, for any newbies out there, is that Retardo once accused me and Pablo of being the same person, as if that would somehow negate the fact we were beating him like a borrowed mule all around his own website.
Thank you. I was wondering what the Marcotte was going down here.
Hmmmm.
It’s a happy thing for me then that I’m an Animist.
Otherwise it might be possible that I’d give a rat’s ass what twits at HuffPoo thought.
Frankly modern Christianity is far too overloaded with utter nonsense. What I prefer in many ways to the New Testament is the Old Testament. You know. The portions where it’s okay to grab some idiots by their ankles and bash their brains out on a brick wall.
None of that turning the cheek nonsense for me. I prefer something more along the lines of “look at me funny and I’ll turn you into pate”.
