Earlier today, a sort of marginal, little known blogger was making fun of Adam Nagourney, ace political reporter for the librool and treasonous New York Times, because, apparently, Nagourney researches his articles by watching FOX News.
It's sad, and probably true. And, if you thought about it too much, it might really make you want to use naughty words when reading the librool media chide bloggers for not getting their facts straight:
Many writers saw a sexist aspect to Bush’s back rub. “This isn’t a Sigma Chi kegger, it’s the G-8 Summit,” wrote blogger Christy Hardin Smith on Firedoglake.com.
(Bush was actually in Delta Kappa Epsilon. Another Web 2.0 truism: Blogs are not always friendly with the facts.)
Even though, in that case, the blogger was joking. Which would mean that the AP reporter was not really being friendly with the facts when reporting that bloggers are not always friendly with the facts.
You read that and then you want to write, "Wow, what a fucking douchebag." Except you don't want to write that because then some fucking douchebag who works for the AP will write a story and claim that Web 3.0 truism is that bloggers use naughty words in conjunction with feminine hygene products.
But only on the Left.
The right wing blogs are not shocking in their use of naughty words nor their references to feminine hygene products. They pretty much stick to the commonly accepted cliches of civil discourse, such as "traitors", "treason", "gas chambers", and public hangings.
So, anyway. That's funny and sad, and stupid.
But what I wanted to say was that I think little read bloggers like Duncan Black, while being as fact unfriendly as anyone, are so driven to distraction by their furious, irrational hatred of the highly successful Bush administration that they miss the true horror of librool lies from the likes of what right wing bloggers like to call The New York Crimes:
However the blame is apportioned, the party has been left without a high-profile candidate who can take advantage of the few opportunities open to Republicans this year, like Connecticut, where Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, the Democrat, has been distracted by a challenge from the left and said he would run as an independent if he lost the primary.
Joe Lieberman is being challenged from the left.
So says yer librool media.
Ned Lamont, Weepin' Joe Liebermonkey's challenger, is a multi-millionaire from Greenwhich, Connecticut. He's a trust fund kid and country club grown-up who's whiter than Wonder Bread. And he's formerly served in local gubment as a Republican.
I'm not knocking Ned Lamont. Far from it. I'm all for Ned Lamont. From his senseless and sanctimonious and self-serving attacks on the Big Dog, to his appalling Omega male masochism in 2000, to his infuriating right wing ringer presence in the 2003/2004 primaries, Joe Lieberman has got to be, without question, the single worst Senator Democrats have sent to the United States Senate in a hundred years.
He's horrible. Every time he bobs his grinning retarded garden gnome head and opens up his droopy dawg mouth, the Democratic party loses a half million votes.
Go, Ned, go!
All I'm saying is: if Ned Lamont's primary challenge is what the crackerjack, ace political reporters from the librool New York Times calls "left", we're doomed. This republic is dead and done.
Bury it. Carve the fucking tombstone.

For the past 25 years, the GOP and the powertie media have defined the left as terror-lovin' commies, and everyone to the left of John Birch qualifies.
They've marginalized the majority of the country. The rational, sentient, non-comatose majority can't be trusted because they might have an original thought that hasn't a foundation in a TV commercial or political soundbite.
Via preemptive guilty convictions, we await only our sentencing. Which leaves us only one recourse to respond with: steal this blog and steal their stuff because thieves and philanthropists scare them more than terrorists and atheists. Except for the quasi-legal thieves, which is the one true religion they practice.
