Did MPJ get a mention at the Democratic Underground or what? I'm getting some serious hate comments these days. Here's what Erik wrote in reply to a post on the Religion of Beheadings:

I am mad, Bush got us into this mess, I wish they'd decaptitate him! i would pay for that.

Oh, here's another one posted by Earle J. Landry (ejl1105@aol.com) to one of my many Kitty Kelley rants:

Your apologies and generalities cannot excuse this criminal nation of the foul deeds that are recognized by the civilized world, which includes The World Court and the United Nations. Media apologists must carry the guilt and convictions yet to come. Kitty Kelley provides excellent insights.

1 I got a doozy the other day, and the guy's email address was @democratunderground.org. Which I guess means he's an employee or volunteer. Maybe there's a new troll-directive from Soros.

3 Speaking of making it, back during the height of Memogate, I made it all the way to marauding marsupial. Now I'm back to flappy bird status. *sigh* Back on topic: these people frighten me. But I'm not sure which is scarier -- the level of anger and hatred -- eg "I am mad, Bush got us into this mess, I wish they'd decaptitate him! i would pay for that." or the level of stupidity, eg "Kitty Kelley provides excellent insights."

4 Generations from now historians will look on the American Left in this episode as an equivelant to the John Birch Society: paranoid, hysterical, delusional, marginal.

5 Brian, the decapitation one is much scarier and is treasonous...also, criminal if I'm not mistaken. Johnny, dude, unfortunately historians write history.

6 Rusty, Yeah, I think you should forward it to the Secret Service.

Posted by: Brian B at September 20, 2004 01:22 PM (OnnW3)

7 RS, you're right about the short-term history. I'm talking long-term, though, long after anyone now alive is gone. I'm talking a hundred years. Compare the contemporary coverage of the Spanish Amerian war to how historians deal with it now, for an example (of course, liberals will say "Iraq is the Spanish American war!!!! Don't you see!!!!!")

Posted by: Johnny Walker Red at September 20, 2004 01:25 PM (4AwR3)

8 But heck - what do I know? Hah. You could very well be right. Maybe the Spanish American war was a bad example

9 Remember that Charlie Brown Halloween special where Charlie Brown kept saying, "all I got was a rock" whenever he checked his bag? Well, all I got was a rock. This is what passes for hate mail on my site. I'm definitely doing something wrong. "Are you out of your gourd? Bush is the least intelligent president in history." Not to rain on your parade... Oh speaking of which, how was the camping?

10 Camping was good, pretty fun. Except for the poison ivy. My first case, ever.

Damn the sitemeter, full speed ahead! No more posting today or tomorrow. I'm going camping. I hate camping. Don't get me wrong, I love nature. I love to fish, SCUBA dive, sail, etc. I just hate sleeping in a freaking tent. My philosophy about nature? It should be loved, cherished, respected---and then dominated! Ciao, peeps.

In case you didn't check the link earlier, Johnny Ramone passed away. Johnny was a punk rock legend and a Republican to the end. Read the shirt below. It pretty much sums up his attitude, and mine. We will miss you Johnny!

So you decide to call it a day early and what happens? All hell breaks loose. Evil Glenn Reynolds pitches two softballs to Quinton and he instalaunches them out of the park. Way to go, dude! But where's my Instalaunch? What about Rusty? *sigh*

Well, let's see all the links I missed over night. We call this little bit, the morning breakfast link drop. What's for breakfast today? Bill Burkett and Dan Rather.

-Morning music: Iron Maiden. No, I take that back: the Ramones.
-Don't forget to say grace and thank Allah for all the links that matter.
-Green eggs AND ham? I do not like them Dan Rather-man. Quinton on the case.
-In Russia we eat kasha. Horosho deteknivi robotaet! And kasha casts a long shadow. Where did I eat kasha? In Moscow, moron. If you're ever there, I highly recommend heading to the Great Patriotic War memorial which is built at the spot of furthest advancement for the German Army. Is the Killian memo the equivelant of the Russian winter to European armies?
-Did you know that bear is a much loved meat of choice in some cultures? There's nothing like waking up to some good bear after an evening at a Broadway musical followed by long night of hedonism at the disco.
-In Virginia they eat grits. Grits are kind of like kasha, only you'll never hear Dan Rather say "Kiss my kasha" to the blogosphere. It just doesn't sound right.
-What do Kinko's employees eat for breakfast? Brauts.
-However, and as much as Jeff Goldstein would hate to admit this, in Abilene there is only one food group: Beef. And to drink? How about a hearty cup of Joe, but, er, they call it something different down there in Texas.
-At the other end of the political spectrum, in MA they eat cake for breakfast.
-How much does breakfast cost in Texas these days anyway? A buck fiddy.
-And last but not least, when it comes down to it, always be cautious when dishing out breakfast. You never know when your idle speculation will come back to bite you in the arse.

PS-always eat breakfast in pajamas. Always.

Jeff at Beautiful Attrocities asks what is on everybody's mind: What does Michelle Malkin wear to bed. Then he asks what is on Dan Rather's mind: What does Katrina vanden Hueval wear to bed. Then he asks what is on no-ones mind: What does Rusty Shackleford wear to bed. Shocking!

Digby:

It an amazing thing to watch. From state troopers to lounge singers to homely office clerks to love story to swift boats, this country has been taken on a multi million dollar right wing funded fraud for over a decade and I still haven't seen even one "journalist" apologize, retract or even acknowledge it.

As I keep saying, though, nothing of importance, not even anything of importance about Bush's Guard service hinges on the authenticity of the memos.

Did CBS run with crudely forged docs? Here at THE HOWLER, we can’t really say. But how comical are the outraged squeals about “liberal bias” which are all over cable? Those squeals are very comical. What does this current episode show? It shows this: If you broadcast a shaky tale about Bush, the world will land on your head in an instant. Does this show the corps’ “liberal bias?” We’d have to say that it does not.

Have we now reached the point (courtesy of TechCentralShilling) where a significant portion of the conservative blogosphere actually believes that it provides a thoroughly reliable fact-check function?

We don't need the CBS memos to know that George W. Bush used family connections to get into the National Guard ahead of other young men, then skipped out on his Guard service prior to a medical evaluation (interesting, that, in light of Bush's non-denial denials of youthful drug use), then got his dad's "good friend" to pull strings once again, netting the future president an honorable discharge that he probably didn't earn.

May be forgeries, though strangely could be more like reproductions of originals.

One of the reasons I'm annoyed by the whole Killian memo fiasco is that even if they're real they don't really add much to the story. After all, here's what we already know: [long list of stuff based on the CBS Story]

A months-long investigation, which includes examination of hundreds of government-released documents, interviews with former Guard members and officials, military experts and Bush associates, points toward the conclusion that Bush's personal behavior was causing alarm among his superior officers and would ultimately lead to his fleeing the state to avoid a physical exam he might have had difficulty passing. His failure to complete a physical exam became the official reason for his subsequent suspension from flying status....

Questions have been raised about the authenticity of those memos, but the criticism of them appears at this time speculative and inconclusive, while their substance is consistent with a growing body of documentation and analysis.

John Kerry is a better leader, a better man, a better patriot than George Bush and everyone else on the left (and a few honest folks on the right) knows it.

I dont give a rats ass. Its over. Let's move on, unless you want to keep talking about this till Election Day. CBS blew it, they screwed up, a drunken monkey with 60 Minutes budget and persistence could get the goods on Bush. In fact the unasked question that no one seems to be putting out there is this. With 250 assholes willing to spout off their opinion about Kerry's leadership, isnt it amazing that not even the bartender at the freaking TANG officer's club has any Fond or otherwise recollections of Bush... Please!

****MPJ Exclusive must credit Rusty Shackleford***

Dr. Rusty Shackleford can reveal from reliable unnamed sources that while engaged in certain unnamed sexual behaviors, illegal in at least four Southern States, a certain unnamed 'author', who goes by the name of Kitty Kelley, snorted cocaine off the heaving bosoms of an unnamed blogger, who happens to go by the name of Anna Marie Cox (aka, Wonkette). How reliable are my unnamed sources that Kitty Kelley did Coke in the White House while giving Ashlee Simpson an abortion paid for by Oprah Winfrey? Very. In fact, my editor was in the room when Paris Hilton broke down and told me the whole sordid affair over the phone and my editor definitely overheard me saying such things as, "Wow, Paris" and "uh-huh, keep talking", thus proving the validity of the story.

It's Wictory Wednesday. more...

I'm listenning to Prager now, hosted by the guys at Powerline, Mitch of Northern Alliance Radio Network, Lileks, and others.. Charles Johnson is being interviewed. Awesome. Listen live here.

12:18 Charles talks about the probability that documents are real. Slim to none. Talks about his superimposing experiment which can be found here. Virtually identical to modern Word document. A full list of Charles' posts can be found here. This flash movie also overlays a Word created document making the same point, but is uses a different font. (via Commisar who got it from Dudemasicus)

12:21 Coming up, interview with the guys from Kerryspot. It's Jim Geraghty.

12:26 How does the story compare to the Jason Blayre mess at the NY Times? This is worse. Obvious forgeries, duped or complicit.

12:35 Commercial break. I was in class this morning. I wish I had heard the earlier part of this broadcast.

12:39 Caller "Everybody is a Bush loving idiot who listens to Talk Radio...Dennis Prager is a self-hating Jew" Conpiracy theories..Bush/Haliburton, blah blah.

12:42 John Fund of WSJ up next.

12:44 Commercial. Stupid capitalism. Why liveblog this? Why not? Never done it before, plus I'm technically on my lunch break.

12:48 Nope, it's Scott Ott. He called in. Funny. He's plugging his e-mail post. Is Scott Ott that much of a whore to plug his blog on national radio? Yes. Dumb question. Kudos for your whorishness!!

12:50 Now it's John Fund. Talking about the potential for lawsuits in the upcoming election. Dem lawyers waiting to file lawsuits in keys states. Man, I am not looking forward to the day after the election. I usually stay up late. Why do I have the feeling that it will be weeks or months before all the lawsuits are settled? Thanks a lot Al Gore, you prick.

12:56 Q: What is the deal with the bumper music? Come on, Sheila-E???

1:11 Kerry carried around a hat that belonged to a CIA agent he dropped off in Cambodia? Never heard that one. Pretty freaking funny since he's never been to Cambodia.

1:52 Interesting, interesting, very interesting...but now I've lost interest.
