I just listened to the radio broadcast – shocking stuff. I dont read Derbyshire – just hear about him every so often. Listening to him is very sickening and I dont intend to do it again. Nor will I read him. Amato did a stand up job and he was right to say what he did…though I would have said the man is sick in the head and spirit, not just a coward. He must be so deeply damaged to attack dead kids like that – his contempt toward those kids – and yeah you old fart – they were KIDS! – was chilling. If I were one of his peers or friends, I would tell him to get help, lay off the sauce if there is any involved – and go the eff away.

Crooks and Liars site is not exactly the most liberal or democratic site on the web. The ’siteowner’ edits you by blocking your comment and then tells you to go elsewhere, if you don’t agree with his brand of ‘freedom’. Then, you are banned from commenting! Is this the same John Amato?

the most contemptable aspect of Derbyshire’s presentation is how he uses debate “logic” to “validate” himself, how he feigns innocence when confronted with the implications of what he says. it’s quite ridiculous, on the face of it, a syntactical, facetious bit of word play that bears no resemblance to either the events as they happened or the subtext of what he wrote about it. the underlying viciousness of what he is implying, it’s snide and petty tone is a veneer to hide his vacuousness. he’s a pitiful caricature of a poseur.

I think Derbyshire could prove his mettle by arranging with a police department to don all the protective gear they can heap on him, give a policeman a weapon loaded with rubber bullets- he could know he was in no danger - and he should run toward that police officer who is firing his weapon (again, loaded with rubber bullets) without trying to do him harm.

And he should v-log it.

Or he could just shut up. But I would pay money to watch him grow feathers and piss himself.

only slightly OT…Anyone else want someone to do a “Fantasy Island” cartoon, with little Herve (Gonzo) standing next to Ricardo Montalbon (Bush,) looking to the sky and saying “de Plame, de Plame!!!”?

Gonzo didn’t make the final cut at audition…Too much of a ’subservient lickspittle’ type to correctly capture the essence of Tattoo.

So…We pitched it to Dickie’s people, and he came through like a trooper - He owns the ‘moral midget’ franchise.
