Holy fuck, did that moron just compare Walter Mondale to Dick Cheney? I mean never mind the fact that every quote he cites from Mondale turned out to be prescient….WTF???

I aint clickin’ that damn link. No way. No how.

Fuck Somerby. fuck Kristol. Also.

Don’t get me started on that fucking book.  I hope Harriet Christian and Larry Johnson enjoyed their complimentary copies. Hopefully Boehlert wrapped them up in a bow.

I haven’t really been following this closely.  This sounds like a joke, but please confirm.

First of all, Bob Schieffer didn’t say or even imply that Cheney should “shut his yap.”

That’s what struck me about the whole thing—the flawed premise. Schieffer asked why Cheney was pursuing his attack strategy, which is a damn good question. Isn’t Somerby always harping on others for excerpting quotes and making implications that aren’t supported by the facts? What an asshole.

I was being sarcastic, but not by much. Eric Boehlert sent advance copies to Alegre and Riverchucky. He was definitely going for the early PUMA endorsement, which tells me my earlier post about his book wasn’t too far off the mark.

...NewsBusters’ newest staff member is defending Dick Cheney today.

Maybe Cthcheney will invite him to go hunting!

And if he did, this would be a problem ... Why?

So if Boehlert is seeking the PUMA endorsement, I guess this means he doesn’t want a career anymore?

Wow, riverchucky and alegre? What a gigantically atrocious judge of character.

Is this something the author controls? I’m not in the publishing business, so perhaps Boehlert didn’t actively seek their endorsement so much as his publisher was just hawking copies to any interested parties.

Is Lambert jealous? Is he the only retarded squirrel that didn’t get a nut?

By way of contrast, many liberals have already been complaining: How dare these Republicans speak?

I think he’s mistaking the registering of disgust for advocacy of censorship, but hey, at least it’s somewhere in the vicinity of a falsifiable claim. Otherwise parsing that post’s like fact-checking Ionesco’s Rhinoceros.

Oh, jeez, my captcha word is “only15.” I thought this site was about the metaphorical kind of wanking.

Gil, when you get a chance, can you drop me an email at the “contact/tips” email link (top right sidebar)?
