Merrick: “I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!”
Me: “Well, now let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, John. Tell me, you ever do any gay porn?”
Merrick: ” — I AM A HUMAN BEING!”
Me: “So I take it that’s a ‘no,’ then…?”

It’s a good thing my keyboard’s built to have coffee spilled into it. Cause I just spewed a mouthful (of coffee, you pervs!) all over it.
I thought he was “the Elephant Man” because…oh, I see. Nevermind then.
Maj. John,
Michael Jackson made the same error.
Just wait ’til that chest-burster pops out.
TW: presented impetus
Give the guy a break; apparitions all suffer from repetitive stress. You know, repeating the critical moments of their life again and again. So, he’s been doing that for five or six weeks, and an opportunity came up, does that make him less of a human being?
TW: Tara babblers – oh, wrong kind of porn, I see.
Once an Elephant Man, always an Elephant Man–at least, on the Left.
That’s not his chest.
Check out TNR…they’ve published an update before they get the hell outta Dodge.
It’s funny
TNR has issued another statement…an embarrassingly lame statement.
I would have thought that gay porn, so long as women, children, and minorities were properly represented, would fit in quite nicely with the tolerance crowd.
I get it, without the elephant, it was not inclusive enough.
TNR’s statement essentially says that we did not do much fact checking prior to publication, we started doing it after people questioned the story, and are now having difficulty, since the military is now investigating. Their corroboration only gets you to possible for a couple of the stories, and fails to confirm them. But oh well, now is as good of a time as any for a vacation.
Now that Merrick, he could have filled out a pair of Levis.
…and after we told them it had been rigorously fact checked.
Pablo – That is what really gets me about all of this. If this story had been “rigorously fact-checked” prior to publication, there is not a chance in hell that it would take them now almost 2 weeks to show their work, and support that which they published. Had they rigorously fact-checked this story, they would not be re-reporting the story, whatever the hell that means. Had they actually rigourously fact-checked it, the day after the complaints started rolling in, they should have been able to show everyone exactly what they had done to check it. They did not, and given the beating that they have been taking, and will continue to take, it is reasonable to suggest that they simply do not have that kind of evidence. When you couple that with today’s statement, that their investigation confirms the article, but they continue to investigate, and make Beauchamp sound like some martyr because he no longer has access to a computer and cell phone, it seems readily apparent that they will be content to confirm some non-importatnt minor details, ignoring the actual substance of the complaints, and use the confirmation of some minor details as proof of the veracity of the story. Fuckers.
JD: You’re correct. If the article has been true, it would have been unassailable and THR wouldn’t have had to resort to sophistry.
