I love how Gleen’s responses are just variations of the Chewbacca defense.
Not to sound too much like Bill Simmons, but somebody needs to create the animated “Gleen Greenwald(s)” show. You would draw the characters and choreograph the animation, but use actual Gleen quotes as the dialog.
85% chance of wetting your pants watching that show.
90% chance of wetting your pants if you animate Jeff as the villian twarting Gleen’s pursuit of “ the truth.”
100% chance if you add Andrew Sullivan into the mix.
100% chance of vomiting if any episode shows Andrew and Gleen cuddling on Valentines Day.
Since Glenn’s columns are now classified as Opinion by Salon, is that the best place for him to to marshall a defense of his column? What does he plan on saying?
“As many observers have noted have noted, the column appearing under my name in this space yesterday has been righteously and thoroughly demolished by conservative bloggers. The hypocritical and dishonest tripe appearing in that column was not written by me. I have no idea how it got there. Person or persons unknown must have gotten access to my computer. I hereby disavow any knowledge or responsibility for its content or for the four updates to the original post. I would never write something that stupid in my unending quest to take down the illegal and immoral constitution shredding, personal liberty-stripping reich Bushhitler has brought to this country (or at least I wouldn’t publish it).”
I’m sort of tired of listening to people beating up Greenwald. The fact that he’s that kind of clueless was established back in the sock puppet days wasn’t it?
What really confuses me is that anyone can generate any sort of surprise at the far left’s venom toward anything right of…Ted Kennedy.
I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it until it changes: I’m a born and bred Chicago Democrat who can’t find anyone remaining in the Donk party that I can take seriously and it’s depressing as hell.

I hope you weren’t too depressed to vote at least once yesterday.
Don’t be depressed, Timmer… You’re at Protein Wisdom. It’s a happy place.
Home (for instance) of Jeff’s immortal “The Prude’s Haiku,” and the inimitible sequel, “The Lapsed Prude’s Haiku.” Both make me start giggling in public at random times, and they’re, what, a year old?
Ever since the Taiwan earthquake damaged the undersea cables, something is messed up and I can’t reach Patterico, Darleen, and something else. Maybe Classical Values? I’ve tried it through different ISPs and servers.
Oh I don’t LIVE in Chicago anymore, I was just born and raised there. It’s been 23 years since I lived there. I visit my Mom back there and just cringe at the taxes on everything.
Man. Patterico spanks Greenwald(s) so hard that even my cabana boy felt it.
Man, Greenwald is incapable of thinking his rants through. He ought to hold off on pushing the “publish” button on his posts for 24 hours or so.
He ought to hold off on pushing the “publish†button on his posts <s>for 24 hours or so</s> for all eternity.
Fixed it!
The BECAUSE OF THE HYPOCRISY post makes me smile.
Have no fear, Gleen will find a way to spin himself out of this one as well. Are we sure he’s not Adam West?
Ooh! Ow!
That’s just cringemaking.

I think I can speak for PW regulars in extending a hearty “welcome back” to the “BECAUSE OF THE HYPOCRISY!” post.
Man, what’s next? Talking back to 80s music? YOU’RE OUT OF CONTROL MAN!!!

— that one, I like
words that just sound funny. I think I’ll do one of those tonight just for shits and giggles.

Somehow I doubt we’ll be seeing that.
There was a post above this one. I saw it there. I even commented.
Where did it go?
Was my referencing Billy Madison too much for the thread to handle? I promise not to do it again if it brings the thread back.
Enjoyed it!!!!!
PIE anyone?
Um, I think I broke the comments for the linked article at Patterico’s.
I didn’t mean to…
However, between Pat and El Jeffe slicing, dicing, marinating and sauteeing Gleen it’s been a veritable cornucopia of irony dunking.
And, no, I’ve no intention of explaining that…
Good Day, Sir! (hee)

I didn’t know it had left, but I’m glad to know it’s back.

Dangnabbit!
Ever since the Taiwan earthquake damaged the undersea cables, something is messed up and I can’t reach Patterico, Darleen, and something else. Maybe Classical Values? I’ve tried it through different ISPs and servers.
Is there anyone else having this problem?
You Rethugs are just jealous because Glenn Greenwald is a New York Times bestselling author whose blog posts have been quoted on the Senate floor.
GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!

I don’t know how Blackfive does it.
I agree wholeheartedly with Sean Mellensberg.
And I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Mellers.
I have the same problem, & my stuff goes through the Taiwan cables too.
Which shows you how long we are going to have global communications if the balloon (not alfi’s balloon, THE balloon) ever does go up.
Hmm….
Ah, that thread has one of my better one-liners, I think.
