Dear Lambert Strether 2.0

Ugh.  Reading (and scrolling and clicking) is fundamental. The title of that post was a pull-quote from Jesus’ General’s satirical video.

The strether, it burns.

p.s. I eagerly await your critical analysis of some of Nice Deb’s commentary that I linked to in the same post (once again ... scroll and click). Your pal Riverdaughter/Goldberry was enthusiastically recommending (or as myiq1/2u likes to call it, “freeping”) her for the Weblog Awards in our category. Quell surprise!

Either he completely and utterly failed to comprehend that post, or he has freakish genitalia and should see a doctor as soon as possible.

You do the math.

Bravo.

I’m not trying to start yet another blog war here, but can someone explain Correntewire to me?

I mean, is their server plan based on the number of words posted or something? It seems to be taking crypticness to the extreme.

Still, I suggest you take The Effluence’s mercenary view of the whole thing - that post might bump Rumproast’s site visits by 2 or even 3.

You do the math.

Here’s my math:  a circle-jerk doing dick jokes.  Quelle surprise!

Perhaps that was French.

Lambert & His Merry Dingbats remind me of a recurring sketch in Little Britain:  a man who dresses outlandishly who claims to be the “only gay in the village.”  Yet, when other gay men flirt with him, it’s clear that he isn’t gay at all.  He just likes dressing up like that.

Replace “gay” with “liberal” and you have an apt description of CorrenteWire.

Still, I suggest you take The Effluence’s mercenary view of the whole thing - that post might bump Rumproast’s site visits by 2 or even 3.

I guarantee we’re getting a lot more traffic from them than they’re getting from us. Which, I think, means our dicks are smaller. Or something like that.

Regarding trying to figure out Correntewire, I think you’re going to have to consult the PB 2.0 manual. I believe Caro is updating it with more “Obot” references, so you may want to wait until she’s done.

I’m here to learn, Kev!

LOL @ “Quell surprise!” Somebody should tell strether that knowing a few French phrases is admirable; using them all the fucking time is ridiculous.

I believe Caro is updating it with more “Obot” references, so you may want to wait until she’s done.

I see what you mean.

I think I just gave their hamster team hernias by doing a site search for “obot”. It’s still churning away.

This is all fascinating stuff, but we really need to get focused on blocking ratification of the ERA.

As long as women are outlawed, only outlaws will have women. And if that ever changes, there will never be another decent C&W;or gangsta-rap anthem written, ever.

Good music is too rare and precious to cast aside on an ideological whim. We need to nip this in the bud.

I hate to do this, but satire is dead:

myiq2xu, you are a true feminist, who happens to be a man! Thank you!

LOL @ “Quell surprise!”

Mithras, I’m glad somebody got that. Yep, his overuse of it is maddening.

Hey, how come none of you Obots have talked about your big swinging dicks yet? I was gone for an hour and a half and nothing? You guys are slipping.

myiq2xu, you are a true feminist, who happens to be a man! Thank you!

I guess we can start marketing those “myiq2xu is what a feminist looks like” t-shirts now. We’re talking 18 million potential buyers.

Guys you really shouldn’t be starting blog wars with CorrenteWire.  Those gyus practically fucking INVENTED the Progressive Blogosphere 2.0, which is TWICE as many as 1.0, which is where you and the BOIZ are.  Sure, the 1.0 progressive blogosphere has all the intelligent commentary, but it’s also only half as many as PB 2.0.

So you’ll feel pretty stupid four years from now, after CorrenteWire and the mighty PB 2.0 has passed universal healthcare despite that meanie Republican Barack Obama!


Their plan:

Stage 1) Find common cause with PUMAs and Republicans, make unfounded and ignorant accusations against liberals and Democrats, and act generally dickish towards anybody smart enough to tell you’re full of shit.

Stage 2)

Stage 3) Universal Healthcare!

It’s a brilliant plan, and it eliminates all the cumbersome logistics of collecting underwear!

Awesome plan!  Why didn’t we think of that? 

Could it be because all our blood rushes from our brain to our big swinging woman-lynching dicks?

Now this is what I call a - slightly premature - Weblog Awards concession speech (be sure to check out the link to the Melanie Phillips article he gives).

Quell surprise

Why would you want to quell your surprise?

I tend to want to emphasize my surprise, but then again I am not a student of the Second Coming of Peanut Butter.

ahem.

I voted for Obama and all he gave me was this mons - ter cock

Finally someone tested the character limit of the name field and, even better, with a totally excellent dick reference.

Because that’s all Obots think about.

The dick.

@yetanotherfreakingbrit

Did you see the monkey in the masthead? Its snout looks just like a dick-and-ballsack.

Then again, so does everything else, since that’s all I ever think about.

Did you see the monkey in the masthead? Its snout looks just like a dick-and-ballsack.

You should see its dick.

Time Magazine named “Puma” one of the Top 10 Buzzwords of 2008. Let’s make 2009 the Year of the Puma!

Oh God, murphy just doesn’t let up with the Time magazine crap!

This is from an article on the beast, besides #50 Obama, everything else is fitting. Especially #22
http://www.buffalobeast.com.nyud.net/134/50mostloathsom e2008-p3.html

22. PUMAs

Charges: Redefining feminism as “supporting Hillary Clinton, whether she wants you to or not,” and “defending” that feminism by embodying negative stereotypes of women as irrational and scornful, there was no demographic more painfully dumb than aggrieved Hillary backers plotting to defeat Obama. Drunk on a dream of vengeance for their queen, this strange minority picked up every despicable, paranoid, racist talking point they could from the worst of the right wing, even complimenting Sean Hannity on his “fair and balanced” coverage of Obama. Desperately twisting words in a sad attempt to tar Obama as a sexist and willing to subject themselves and their country to a probable assault on reproductive rights in the name of spite, the PUMAs comported themselves with all the dignity and sense of a false rape accusation.

Exhibit A: It’s hard to choose, but nothing was more ridiculous this year than hearing an obscenely rich Hillary fundraiser named “Lady de Rothschild” describe Obama as “an elitist.”

Sentence: President Palin appoints Mullah Omar to Supreme Court.

PUMAlite sez:

This guy is just a lowly squire, doing his best to get a little taste of glory in the overall battle between the bitter-clinging PUMA blogs and the bitter-clinging anti-PUMA blogs (but cudos on doing a better job than his wing man althippo!)

Seriously, dudes, if you’re going to taunt someone, first, you may just want to check out to who the expression “bitter-clinging” more aptly applies.  And what’s with the “lowly squire” bit? Are you playing Robin Hood and his Merry Men in your imaginary world?

Rumproast—Bitter-clinging Anti-PUMAs in Tights.

And somebody tell him it’s kudos.

You should see its dick.

Just freaking brilliant.

Seriously, dudes, if you’re going to taunt someone, first, you may just want to check out to who the expression “bitter-clinging” more aptly applies.

I stopped reading after “herb the verb.”

And somebody tell him it’s kudos.

Misogynist!

@RobLanding:

Póg mo thón, eejit.

I stopped reading after “herb the verb.”

Good point.  If I knew he was one of the Jon Favreau bitter-clingers, I would have ignored that, too.  Here’s from his opus corrente:

These idiots should be canned, they make Obama look bad by demeaning his own Secretary of State. If he doesn’t discipline them (by firing them), he undermines her credibility in her position to other countries. Would Putin need to listen to a damn thing she says as having the authority of the President, when the President’s own staff can mock her with impunity?

So, a non bitter-clinger would probably say that he was over-reacting.  It really was a tempest in a teapot, and Putin is not going to bring up the Favreau incident when he meets SoS Hillary Clinton.  That’s what a non-bitter-clinger would say.

I’m guessing wing man Herbal, not so much.

I’m surprised—this was posted hours ago.  Usually when you insult Lambert even mildly, he swings by within a minute after you’ve posted.  What’s causing the hold up?

Maybe he’s out shopping for penis pumps.

his wing man althippo

She makes it sound so lispy…

Anyone have any details on the FOX News jenni4H interview?  I’m not sure I want to watch that fiasco.

From one of his recent posts:

The Obama Fan Base isn’t smearing me as a racist for not supporting him any more, since the primaries (except in the minds of a few bitter holdouts) are long over. That’s a real plus!

Oh, good god, Lambert, give it a rest. Your PUMA pals are still calling Obama supporters, including me and everyone else who hangs out at this blog, sexist. The skin you’re in is awfully thin.  Suck it the fuck up.

Lambert uses that “somebody somewhere once called me a racist, but I’m too lazy to link to it” accusation so much people should just refer to him as “the alleged racist Lambert Strether”. Of course, I think his comparison of Obama and his campaign to the Nazis is much worse than any racism he might have engaged in.

To the substance of the post: My headline is, literally and exactly, on point: “They’re nice boys, but they’re still thinking in terms of inches.” This has nothing to do with linking to a satirical post from PatriotBoy—a blogger whose jockstrap few are worthy to carry. But thanks for the teeny little spikelet of hits.

* * *

Pathetically, stalker and troll dmd76 shows up again. I can imagine no better way for an obot to prove that he (?) is, in fact, in obot, than for him (?) to stalk another poster for a Godwin’s Law misdemeanor from seven months ago. Ironically, online stalking is also a fine way to prove the thesis of the post! The primaries ended a long time ago. I’ve gotten over them and moved on. Sadly, some have not.

So much disinformation packed into one thread. Let me clean some of it up, at least temporarily.

Kevin burbles:

Your PUMA pals are still calling Obama supporters, including me and everyone else who hangs out at this blog, sexist. The skin you’re in is awfully thin.  Suck it the fuck up.

1. The PUMAs aren’t my pals; in fact, I’m moderated there. They’re right about many things, including the vile sexism of so many involved in the Obama campaign.

2. I certainly haven’t called “everyone who hangs out at this blog” sexist.

dmd76 likewise:

Lambert uses that “somebody somewhere once called me a racist, but I’m too lazy to link to it” accusation so much people should just refer to him as “the alleged racist Lambert Strether”.

Well, the primaries are over. Frankly, I thought the strategic use of false charges of racism by the Obama campaign was so well known that it didn’t a link, but apparently that’s not so, so here’s one from Washington Monthly’s Kevin Drum. But by all means, make the issue about lambert instead of the Obama campaign if you find it helpful.

And congratulations to RumpRoast on their award. Bye.

The Obama Fan Base isn’t smearing me as a racist for not supporting him any more

So the “me” in this sentence is a sort of royal me? Here I thought alleged racist Lambert Strether was just some guy. It turns out he is/they are the entire Clinton campaign, reified. Accusations of racism against the campaign apparently are felt in a real and very painful way by this allegedly racist corporeal manifestation. Is there any other explanation available here? Why else would he/they point to examples of false allegations of racism against the entire Clinton campaign when asked for examples of false allegations of racism against him/them, unless they are one and the same?

P.S. Hey Lambert, you know what would be super sweet? If, when you linked to “Washington Monthly’s Kevin Drum”, for example, the link was actually to Kevin Drum, and not your inept bloviation. The world, as seen through Lambert’s (many?) eyes, is just not that interesting.

Wow. On top of everything else I find despicable about myiq2xu, there he is on the comments to Lambert’s linked post, trying to propagate a blatantly racist meme (and, to their credit, not gaining too much traction with Lambert and the other commenters).

“Dogwhistle”? - Myiq, the loudest dogwhistle I’ve been hearing is that being blown frantically by your sister when someone alerts her that you’ve escaped from the Effluence compound and are running amuk yet again.

Why did you finally kick him off Corrente, Lambert? I mean, I can imagine a host of possible reasons, but what was the final straw?
