Watertiger!

I told them downstairs that we’re up here. Now to read the post!

Tigerwater!

Wait, that’s not right.

Watertiger - claws unsheathed. ouch, nice (and well deserved) ripping of the grey lady

One positive comment? What is wrong with that person?

We understand, the excitement and all… .

Safire was greeted with jeers and got off to a rocky start, calling Watergate “a tempest in a Teapot Dome” before eventually acknowledging that he had been “grandly, gloriously, egregiously wrong.”

But Kristol is wrong ALL the time. I have proof somewhere, here, in my desk. Wait…. Here it is. Yes. ALL the time.

It was his mom.

Heh. I wet ‘em.

The ideal candidate must possess the following qualifications:

Own their own PNAC baseball cap.

LOL!

Mothers are like that!

He went on to a distinguished, 32-year career at The Times and, agree or disagree with him, he was a compelling presence on the Op-Ed page. - Safire. Yes, a legend in his own mind. What dopes, but they’re there and I’m here, 5 steps below Atrios.

“Own smelling salts and fainting couch a plus!”

and Tums. Don’t forget the Tums.

Kristol was an also ran for the Squad Squad
He is not up to this

Hoyt’s taking his cues from Li’l Debbie these days.

At least Safire had the capacity for shame. Kristol, on the other hand, is genetically incapable of such a feat.

This is the perfect job for TeddySanFran!

Quick, Teddy, get that application in right away. You were born for this job.

“Must know A-list caterers from B-list caterers, and which political figures don’t. Trust fund income highly desirable (but not required).

Sorry Teddy, thought it was for real till I read the job qualifications…

Great snark, WT.

Tigerwater!

That’s what is left after the tiger gets out of the pool.

Nice touch including the Chicago Manual of Style for verisimilitude.

My favorite part of William The Bloody’s column is the Errata section:

In last week’s column, I mistakenly attributed a quotation from Michael Medved to Michelle Malkin. I regret the error.

Collect ‘em all, kids!

OT (Carried over from a previous thread, the topic is “Kos Hearts Willard?”

Re:

I know kos loathes Kucinich but tossing Mitt a bone over supporting a fighting progressive really says a lot to me about kos.

I share your wariness about Moulitsos. He’s a damn clever guy, but sometimes I get the feeling that he let’s his intellectual brilliance and obvious delight in gamesmanship to mask a really deficiency in actual political purpose. What’s his agenda? I’ve never gotten anything other than “our side winning”. And that ought to be the shabby anti-intellectual shibboleth we hang on the small-minded shills of the other side, i.e. the GOP.

I do not know if I agree with that statement. Firedoglake is not below anyone I would say. After all, even Hannity of Fox Noise has gone after FDL.

Ombudsperson for WaPo.

The quintessential clutcher of pearls.

I’m all about the truthiness, baybay!

Ooooh, look who’s coming by the WaPo0nline for a chatz tomorrow! Dean Broderella himself, at Noon eastern. Questions accepted anytime.

I’ve auditioned and coached a lot of young ladies in singing “Tomorrow,” and worked with a lot of editors and a couple of ombudsmen, but never combined the three activities in the past. Ah, NYC, eh?

Six-syllable words are kinda big for late nite, Swopa….

Hah! he can’t even get that right! Thus extending his blemish free record of being wrong all of the time… ;-)

It rolls trippingly off the tongue.

Like “antidisestablishmentarianism.” Or however it’s spelled.

or califlagilisticexposeallibobba.

did someone get a new thesaurus for christmas?

Or BarackObamaesque.

I think the owner of the NYT’s doesn’t live in the reality world - “Sulzberger told me he was surprised by the vehemence of the reaction.”

Bloody Billie helped to get nearly 4,000 Americans dead. Why doesn’t it surprise him that we don’t Billie Boy in the NYT’s? Twits… .

Have never thought Pinch was the brightest light on the porch.

There’s a reason why he got the nickname “Pinch”.

Not big enough to fill “Punch’s” shoes.

So, Teddy, how about this question for the Dean:

You are 78. Is there any chance you plan on retiring so that someone younger and more connected to reality can take your place?

dayam, i figured it was due to a jack benny kinda feelings he had about his wallet

Yep…that’s the way it’s been told to me! I’ll never get over the infamous moose story at the annual Times staff meeting.

Here is something for Christy’s neck of the wood, West Virginia
Motion Ties W. Virginia Justice to Coal Executive

A justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court and a powerful coal-company executive met in Monte Carlo in the summer of 2006, sharing several meals even as the executive’s companies were appealing a $50 million jury verdict against them to the court.

The photos are included in a motion asking the judge to step aside in the appeal of a $50 million award against Massey.
A little more than a year later, the justice, Elliott E. Maynard, voted with the majority in a 3-to-2 decision in favor of the coal companies.

Justice Maynard, who is now West Virginia’s chief justice, and Don L. Blankenship, the chief executive of Massey Energy, were “vacationing together,” according to a motion seeking Justice Maynard’s disqualification, which was filed on Monday.

George Bush - We must confront the Filipino Monkey

Perhaps he sees himself as a king-maker or power broker, a man of suasion and clout. Beginning to look that way to me.

OT-
John Leasch, the best man for the job in Hastert’s old district, has dropped by to say hey to the pups in the Chomsky thread!

I don’t think anyone who covered the 1972 presidential campaign should be covering the 2008 presidential campaign.

Now, if Hunter S. Thompson were alive, however…

You clearly do not know Kos AT ALL.

okay, mein feuerpups.

i must go make myself unconscious.

you all behave!

sleep well, watertiger

Uhh, no. The delegates in the Michigan primary for the Democrats do not count. Nada. Zero. Bupkus.

So it’s the perfect time to have a little mischief and vote for the Mittster. To keep the Rethugs at each others throat.

And voting for Kucinich? Please.

I don’t believe she said anything about sleeping.

shhhh i was using my company manners

That’s applying a bit too much english, Ray.
Kos, Master of the Universe, is not all that important that you need to assume he has ulterior motives.

I know enough to suspect his motivations. And I don’t want to get into a flame war with you, so I’ll leave it at that. Thanks for understanding. :)

No. You clearly know nothing about Kos. As surely as if you had stated that George Bush is anti-war and an intellectual. You are that wrong.

Ah so. What’s yer problem with Kucinch? Please.

Craaaaaap, I just missed Watertiger.
Happy Unconsciousness Tiger!

Rob and Ray:
We generally discourage folks from coming here to bitch about other sites.

Huh? What ulterior motives? I said exactly the opposite. “What’s his agenda? I’ve never gotten anything other than ‘our side winning’.”

I never claimed he had ulterior motives. Please, you speak for yourself and respect my right to do the same. Thanks.

hey busted

Well, I clearly know nothing about RobZuber and am rapidly learning to hope to know even less. Good Bye.

Rob correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t HRC have a ‘lock’ on ALL those delegates?

Hey now. I’ve had my fill of Bloody Bill Kristol and the NYT’s has made a Jerry Springer/Howard Stern/Limbaugh rubber-knecking a at a crash scene hire for sure with this insipid tool.

The Times is also signing their own death warrant by putting a Rupert Murdoch mole without an ounce of conscience on their payroll.

They deserve every ounce of ratfucking that Kristol will deliver……but I aint ever purchasing one of their rags again.

P.S. Al Jazeera says the Gulf States are moving towards Iran in spite of the US.

Nice work Boosh.

Also, before congress approves the 20 billion dollar weapons purchase by the corrupt and decadant House of Saud, someone ought to remind them that Iran is still using some of the weaponry that we loaded the Shah up on back when Iran was our buddy.

That is too funny!!

quiffy night for some.

now there you go, being all logical again.

Hi Suze.

Speaking of other sites,(Ahem)

Someone else has lost their mind and invited me to post at theirs once in a while.
I just got the invite a minute ago and am mulling it over.
Trying to count just how many words I do know that don’t start with “F”.

No kidding.

They keep coming after us, and FDL ain’t on the dime.

Why?

How Cheneyesque.

Did they go duck hunting after?

Hey, Suz, newtonuser, Teddy. Have you guys followed what is happening with election central in San Diego County? The new Registrar of Voters is a former employee of Diebold, and is suing Debra Bowen over the paper and pen ballots.

Now if only I had Kristol’s brilliant flare for writing I could on the Times op-ed page.

-G

I’m having coffee!
That was how my older son and I would start out on our walks, singing Tomorrow and then Day-O. Now I can’t think of one without the other.

no forking way. first i’ve heard of it (reading link now)

Safire was greeted with jeers and got off to a rocky start… before eventually acknowledging that he had been “grandly, gloriously, egregiously wrong.”

and that little “Mohammed Atta in Prague thing?” what ever happened on that?

Congratulations, Busted! Which site?

Evening larue. New to me. thanks for bringing it over.

What is Registrar of Voters person saying?
“Naauhh. They can’t be hacked. My big daddy told me so. Laaalaaalaaalaaa,”

Ms ET and I finally mastered Blackboard today! We both teach colleger, and have to use it in our courses this semester. Not quite like blogging, but some of the control panel’s icons are the generic stuff I’m used to from fdl and my own blogs.

preznit - how about “whatever happened to the Mohammed Atta on Jack Abramoff’s cruise ship” thingie, FWIW?

Three Irish admirals:
- Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
- Fallon, Commander CENTCOM (including Iraq)
- McConnell, Director National Intelligence.
For some time I’ve suspected a quiet mutiny somewhere within the military and intelligence services, including Robert Gates, who is career CIA and not Secretary of defense. But the Irish Admirals each have their story that will have the Rovians sticking pins in voodoo dolls.

Mullen has called for the closure of Guantanimo, basically calling it a national disgrace.

McConnell has openly declared that “waterboarding would be torture if it were done to me.” He went on to say: “If it ever is determined to be torture, there will be a huge penalty to be paid for anyone engaging in it.” Hint, hint; wink, wink; nod, nod. Don’t say anything to my boss.

Fallon doesn’t beat around the bush (so to speak):

“Inter-Press Service suggests animosity between the two might be one reason for Fallon’s absence:

Fallon told Petraeus [in March] that he considered him to be “an ass-kissing little chickensh*t” and added, “I hate people like that”, the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior.

I think that these guys may be one of the reasons that the NIE got released and that we have not yet attacked Iran.

So has anyone bought the new book, Pantloads of the Elders of Goldberg yet?

-G

Sorry… My soiled diaper days are over.

Olbermann did quite a number on him tonight. I didn’t follow the details, but apparently Jonah was unaware that of who started the Fascists and why, which is pretty bad, given that he has recently released a book on Fascism.

pantload is such an easy target - it seems almost unfair to be pointing out all his fallacies.

howdy late night crowd!

Talk to Action has more on that HR 888.

fish in barrel.

OT. Breaking:

John Edwards’ daughter unharmed in car accident
from HoustonChronicle.com — Politics
A car driven by the daughter of Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards was hit by another auto, but she wasn’t injured. The other driver, Carol Small of Durham, was cited by police for driving while impaired. The accident occurred while Cate Edwards was driving in downtown Chapel Hill on Friday afternoon, according to a police report.

dayam. and lucky she was unhurt. ohmystars.

evening selise!

Watertiger should put that help wanted ad on Monster.

but what to do with all the responses?

oh, wait. it watertiger we’re talking about. something excellently twisted would be found.

… hey newt, how goes it?

You should read some of the takedowns on his book. It is stunning dishonest and poorly researched…But it is funny that the right wing clan that loves to ridicule academia and intellectuals all want to be part of academia and want to be considered intellectualss.

They are all growing the Trotsky goatees now too.

So, the mainstream press, including HuffPo, is attempting to bury Edwards. That’s really outrageous and IMHO Jane ought to protest.

I agree.

Who is this Edwards?

jfc do i hate primary season. has everyone gone more insane than usual.

wigwam, you otoh are exactly right.

and i’m not even that big a fan of edwards.

Here’s the actual suit via Bradblog.

Basically, it charges that Bowen was wrong to sue Diebold for faulty equipment.

Selise, I was about to say pretty much the same thing. And then go do a cryptoquote or something.

I had heard the buzz about a Clinton/Obama ticket when I visited a friend of my brother from DC who traveled in political, military and diplomatic circles.

Edwards supporters are likely going to have to settle for an AG post for. I’ll take that in a heartbeat.

Hi wigwam,

Re:

the mainstream press, including HuffPo,

I’m curious how you define mainstream. Until I read this, I’d assumed that Huffington Post was considered part of the alternative media. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

But barring an Edwards resurgence, I frankly don’t see how we win the next election without both Clinton and Obama on the ticket in some order. If the antagonism we see online is any evidence, coming together again as a party without it is going to be awfully difficult.

Keep supporting John Edwards. Don’t give up on him. Give him some Green Love now, and give him some time. No matter what happens keep supporting John. That’s the best chance that a Progressive American has.

this has been a drive-by. keep the faith, y’all!
