They really are all out to get you, Dan.

They will not question that which fits their views.

There are going to be 3 responses to this: exploding heads; "How did they get to him?"; and "Poor man, it's a pity to see a once great intellect go senile publicly."

This has got to hurt, along with Mamet.

I am glad someone from the 'Intelligentsia' had enough guts to say it.

Is this world still laughing at you Dan?

well charles looked at the piece of paper.

And just who was responsible for exposing this TNG forgery?
That's right, The Lizard King.

re: #7 nyc redneck

well charles looked at the piece of paper.

Takedown, shakedown, you're busted!

TOM WOLFE: Right. Idiots...

Don't hold back, Tom. Tell us what you really think!

/Heh.

No hat tip for the Lizard King?

Journalism ain't rocket science.

re: #6 unrealizedviewpoint

Is this world still laughing at you Dan?

Yes. Yes, it is.

TOM WOLFE: Right. Idiots. They should have looked at the piece of paper. Obviously not written by a typewriter.

That was my first thought when I saw it.

So I scanned a copy of an actual typewritten document and posted it on my old website. Before the webmaster asked me to take it down there were 17,000 hits and 3000 full downloads of my travel orders from February of 1983.

Old media and its people suck...

Charlie probably headed straight for the liquor cabinet after that one! LOL!

The electric typewriter fontaid test.

Hiya, Mr. Wolfe, howya doin'?

re: #12 Sharmuta

Journalism ain't rocket science.

It is if your goal is to fit the facts into a leftist world view. Then it really is work. Easier just to make things up....

Show the throbbing memo!

Wolfe could have added most of the Katrina reporting as well.

I would just say that they are throbbingly idiotic.
Lizards rule.

Charles: I don't wanna hear about no mother***in' ifs. All I wanna hear from your ass is, You ain't got no problem, Charles. I'm on the mother****r. Go back in there, chill them ni***s out and wait for the calvary which should be coming directly.

Marsellus: You ain't got no problem, Charles. I'm on the motherf***r. Go back in there, chill them n****s out and wait for the Wolf[e] who should be coming directly.

Those things happened, right?

dan rather was such a committed hack at that point he would have presented as valid, a report scratched out by a monkey w/ an ink pen.

Look up in the sky...it's a bird....it's a plane...no...it's the throbbing memo!

re: #25 nyc redneck

Or crayons.

From Mia Farrow's speech to the UN on Tuesday on Darfur:

Sound familiar?

This body referred Darfur to the International Criminal Court, which issued an arrest warrant against Minister Ahmed Harun, responsible for crimes against humanity in the Darfur region. Instead of arresting him, the Sudanese regime made Harun their liaison to oversee the deployment of UNAMID.

As the Prosecutor of the ICC told you last month, Sudan has put the arsonist in charge of deploying the firefighters. Instead of removing the arsonist, you are negotiating with him.

I ask you: How long will you continue to allow the government of Sudan to manipulate this body? Did Adolph Hitler get to choose which troops should be deployed to end his genocide?

Journalists; were on the endangered species list, now rapidly joining the Do Do in oblivion.

re: #12 Sharmuta

Journalism ain't rocket science.

It might as well be when your IQ soars into the double digits.

And another WaPo flying pig: An editorial (the real deal) in today's edition that begins, "A Democratic engery bill has just died in the Senate - and it's probably just as well. For the most part, it was election-year symbolism." (Title of the editorial: "The Oil Future: Government can't repeal the law of supply and demand, but it could curb speculative excess.")

re: #29 The Other Les

Or crayons.

lol, or finger paints.

I do hope Wolfe is wrong about Israeli atomic bombs, though.

Hehehe
superscripts in '73

I kinda look at Rather like I do Nixon. It isn't that he is dishonest that galls me, but rather how easily the dumb bastard got caught.

Bottom line: Wolfe gets it. TV journalism is crap. It's entertainment-based. Truth is not important.

Personally, I would rather see repeats of the Amazing Race or the Mole, or Poker Superstars, than watch 60 Minutes or the evening news.

It THROBS! Whoo hoo, this post needed a good throbbing!

Wait. Does this mean Bush didn't lie about the Texas Air National Guard, either?

But, but Dan got the information from a cousin whose second wife's mother was told by the garbage man who found out from his lodge brothers divorced sister who heard the information straight from her hairdresser.

The whole Darfur thing infuriates me. Anybody who is trying to do anything about it has my support.

Yes, the same thing being heard in regards to Burma. And Iraq pre 2003.

I just hit recommend on the newslink that was posted, hit refreshed and saw that Charles had this up already. That's fast work.

Yep. I remember articles from liberal-leaning publications about how heartless Bush (pere) betrayed and abandoned the Iraqi Kurds, Marsh Arabs, Shiites; and how terrible the conditions for them were. Oddly, those articles seemed to suddenly dry up around, oh, 2002 or so.

rather is like a drug addict. he just can't stop his obsession, trying to destroy pres. bush.
rather lost his carreer, his reputation, i'm sure many friends.
and he's still looking for a fix.
pathetic.

On that note, I wonder if the damage in the midwest due to flooding is going to be greater than what happened in Katrina. I also wonder if we are going to see people living in trailers three years from now...

I have a feeling that they will be more pro-active in their recovery than many of the Katrina victims. Katrina will long be a rallying cry for the Dems after the midwest has fixed things and moved on.

Luckily Barry's uncle got him out of there.

Watch out Dan........It is a Vast-Reality Wing Conspiracy.

ot:

Some great information regarding how what the MSM, etc., call "arab villages" in Israel are really old Jewish Towns that are now ''occupied'' by the Arabs. Some (kosher) "beef" to go with our arguments and Nekama's Troll Hammer^TM

Actually they got that "putrid water" one out and recycled it for the floods in Iowa this morning.

Now, this is delicious irony. Obama asked supporters who were wearing headscarves to move out of a location behind Obama where they could be photographed:

Two Muslim women at Barack Obama's rally in Detroit Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women's headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.

The campaign has apologized to the women, both Obama supporters who said they felt betrayed by their treatment at the rally.

I actually do feel sorry for those women. Here, they thought that Obama would support their interests - but he can't do so openly because it might upset another key group that he needs to curry favor with.

TOM WOLFE: I think what I would say is today as newspapers are declining rapidly, they`re losing money. I would just point out that all news today comes from the newspapers.

My paper is the Kansas City Star. It's where the New York Times flush ends up. Sunday they said they are laying off 120. Front page 3 day big article on some schmuck from Gitmo that nobody gives and absolute shit about.

Burma?

No blood for rubies!

re: #39 Golem Akbar

Edward R. Murrow pegged it 50 years ago:

"This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box."

The MSM made it's choice: wires and lights in a box is what we got...

More:

I tell my children that with knowledge comes responsibility. An inescapable knowledge of Darfur is yours. It is your right and responsibility to stand up to the Khartoum regime and ensure the full and effective deployment UNAMID in Darfur.

Nothing has changed since Nov 2007 when Jean-Marie Guehenno expressed the fear that, quote, the “force will not have the capability to defend itself, and that carries the risk of humiliation for the Security Council and the United Nations, and tragic failure for the people of Darfur.”

Enablers are just as evil as the evil-doers.

This is why I control all the newspapers in my country.

re: #70 yma o hyd

Of course. When I found it, I knew it would perfectly accompany the arguments and understandings made here on LGF. Brings a bit of reality and scope to the nexts news article you read about how the "evil Jews" are daring to attempt to live in "Arab Villages". (like "east" Jerusalem for example).

ANd semi-related to that post..

Kanye West booed off stage

But after arriving onstage over an hour-and-a-half late at Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee at the weekend, the rapper was pelted with glowsticks and jeered by the crowd. Problems with his Glow In The Dark stage set were blamed for the delay, which resulted in Kanye taking to the stage at 4.30am to cries of "Kanye sucks!"

I'm sure those were all GWB operatives in the crowd booing him.

Methinks Tom Wolfe has been to LGF.

And could very well be a lizard!

Poor Dan - imagine the humiliation you would feel if your mental break with reality were aired live on national TV. The saddest part is he has not even sought the help he needs. Where is his family?

I love seeing the Dan rather thing come up again. It is the story that originally brought me to find LGF. Been here ever since.

It's just so beautiful seeing someone so dumb and so annoying get the mocking he richly deserves. If he actually had some journalistic integrity, ethics and prowess, none of this would have happened to him.

I'm glad it did though. The constant laughs I get out of it are wonderful.

Oh no, the pod people have snatched Tom Wolfe!

Or brainwashed him, or used mind rays, or are blackmailing him, or something.

Anything other than the obvious.

Wow!

LFG work is being accepted by the intellectual elite of America now!? Scary. What is next? Can I talk from a conservative point of view at dinner parties now?

(BTW the Rather coup by this site is what brought me here.)
