Mapes Hallucinating About Giant Lizards

Politics | Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 9:45:36 am PDT

In the kind of sloppy, childish rhetoric that passes for deep thinking on the left, Mary Mapes—the discredited, fired partisan hack who tried to tilt the last presidential election with fraudulent documents—gloats that the Republican Monster is Dying.

Ha, ha.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing once swaggering players like Powerline, Free Republic and Little Green Footballs forced onto the sidelines, left to limply watch this campaign pass by like a parade in which they play no meaningful part.

They just don’t matter anymore.

(Hat tip: Alouette.)

Sorry to OT so quickly on a thread, but Rush is ripping big time on the new Congressional schemes to take over all our 401k's and claim them for their own. In sum, all our money bases would be theirs. Time for revolution, I tell ya. One where WE win.

From the last thread, because as a bitter clingy Texan I hates me some Mary Mapes BS:

re: #282 Ben Hur

Isn't Mapes the un-biased producer that Charles drove to madness?

Yes. She is insane (with all apologies to Walter), consumed by BDS, and irrelevant. Her followers dropped dead on the floor from the Kool-Aid long ago.

All she can do is hurl petty diatribes at the master of the Throbbing Memo.

It has to suck, being pwned like Mary was, reduced to having your mewling book sit on the shelves in dollar stores, until eventually they are mulched or added to landfills as tax write-offs.

Ms. Mapes, my father was in the Guard unit you smeared. My father used to debrief GW Bush. You smeared my father, Ms. Mapes, and you will have no forgiveness, sympathy, or succor from me or mine as long as I draw breath. With all due respect, you can suck on it, Mary.

/Yes, Parker, that was vulgar. No, Krauthammer, that's all the mental effort she deserves.

15 Globular Cluster  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 9:52:37am

It may actually be correct that the Republican party is dying. Illegal aliens enter this country, gain amnesty under an Obama administration, then get tons of entitlements. Thus, they vote Democrat. Meanwhile the heartland gets characterized as rednecks by the elite MSM, which refuses to cover their concerns or examine candidates they oppose. Similarly, liberals conspire to make America a place where personal responsibility is devalued and external finger-pointing is made legitimate. University radicals, hollywood leftists, and the MSM make their agenda the degradation of moral values, and the result is the ultimate decline of the Republican party.

Pseudo-classics like The Black Scorpion, The Giant Claw and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, inadvertently hilarious Hollywood creature features that seem to perpetually focus on an imperiled earth threatened by a massive monster that, at least for most of the movie, seems impervious to bombs, bullets, and bad acting.

Mary, either they are classics or not. There are no psuedo-classics you dimwit.

If the monster is dying it is because it committed suicide.

Bush needed to stop illegal immigration when he had a congressional majority. When they are granted amnesty, as they will be, they will be vote-fodder for the Democrats, who give them money. It's really very simple, and Bush needed to act to save his party. He didn't.

Note this comment following Mapes's screed:

Mary Mapes knows a thing or two about a thing or two when it comes to the sleazy tactics used by the Republican party during the last eight years. To learn the full extent to which she, along with longtime CBS News icon Dan Rather, was "water-boarded" by Bush and his henchmen, take a look at her Truth and Duty. It's an excellent and informative read about the level to which Bush and his administration have gone to silence (and punish!) its critics.
In any case, she once again hits the nail on the head in this blog.
Great work, Mary! Keep hammering at this losers who've brought our country literally to the brink of self-destruction!

I have to confess that, on the surface, the birth certificate thing is puzzling; why is the Obama team SO secretive about certain things (including his health records, his academic records, his past associates, etc)? I mean, the inference is that they have something to hide.

Anyway, it obviously irritates you, so I for one won't bring it up further.

With the kind of fantasy-based constituency that Hussein has, I don't think there is anything that he could do that would dissuade a sizable portion of his bots from voting for him; one time or more.

Yes, it's funny to say things like "even if he ate a live puppy," or "even if he wore a Che shirt." But let's take the focus off of Hussein for a moment. We have neighbors, co-workers, fellow parishioners, etc. who are (or have) mindlessly voted for the worst threat to liberty the US has seen, at least in my lifetime. No, I don't think that is an exaggeration.

Nor do I think the following is an exaggeration:

If Hussein is elected POTUS, he will, within months of occupying the White House, commit numerous acts of treason. I'm not talking about violating the same sections of the Constitution that so many presidents, justices, and legislators do on a regular basis. I'm talking about the transfer of intelligence, vital to US interests, to scum like Ayers and his manifold cronies. The more I read about the genesis of Hussein's political career, the more it sounds like a carefully orchestrated series of chess moves, made by experienced and dead serious players. Hussein is an articulate puppet.

And when and if these acts of treason come to light, and congress, even a dem controlled congress, is shamed into starting impeachment proceedings, these players will start their endgame. The intelligence passed to the fifth-column will then be passed on to those same nations mentioned in Prairie Fire; the nations the Weathermen hoped would occupy the US after our collapse. Domestically, it will be Saul Alinsky writ large. Some of those very same neighbors and co-workers, who were so readily manipulated into voting for "the One," will be primed to commit acts too scary to contemplate.

You can use it on those who try to tell you what NOT to post on LGF too ... like the evolution/creation posts.

And it's the DELUXE ACME Beam-O-Matic, which has the Advanced Brainwave Setting.

1956

Commander John J. Adams: What is the Id?
Dr. Edward Morbius: [frustrated] Id, Id, Id, Id, Id!
[calming down]
Dr. Edward Morbius: It's a... It's an obsolete term. I'm afraid once used to describe the elementary basis of the subconscious mind.
Commander John J. Adams: [to himself] Monsters from the Id...
Dr. Edward Morbius: Huh?
Commander John J. Adams: Monsters from the subconscious. Of course. That's what Doc meant. Morbius. The big machine, 8,000 miles of klystron relays, enough power for a whole population of creative geniuses, operated by remote control. Morbius, operated by the electromagnetic impulses of individual Krell brains.
Dr. Edward Morbius: To what purpose?
Commander John J. Adams: In return, that ultimate machine would instantaneously project solid matter to any point on the planet, In any shape or color they might imagine. For *any* purpose, Morbius! Creation by mere thought.
Dr. Edward Morbius: Why haven't I seen this all along?
Commander John J. Adams: But like you, the Krell forgot one deadly danger - their own subconscious hate and lust for destruction.
Dr. Edward Morbius: The beast. The mindless primitive! Even the Krell must have evolved from that beginning.
Commander John J. Adams: And so those mindless beasts of the subconscious had access to a machine that could never be shut down. The secret devil of every soul on the planet all set free at once to loot and maim. And take revenge, Morbius, and kill!
Dr. Edward Morbius: My poor Krell. After a million years of shining sanity, they could hardly have understood what power was destroying them.
[pause]
Dr. Edward Morbius: Yes, young man, all very convincing, but for one obvious fallacy. The last Krell died 2,000 centuries ago. But today, as we all know, there is still at large on this planet a living monster.
Commander John J. Adams: Your mind refuses to face the conclusion.

That's one freaky movie.

Dr. Edward Morbius: In times long past, this planet was the home of a mighty, noble race of beings who called themselves the Krell. Ethically and technologically they were a million years ahead of humankind, for in unlocking the meaning of nature they had conquered even their baser selves, and when in the course of eons they had abolished sickness and insanity, crime and all injustice, they turned, still in high benevolence, upwards towards space. Then, having reached the heights, this all-but-divine race disappeared in a single night, and nothing was preserved above ground.

Mary Mapes worked in television news for 25 years, the last 16 years at CBS News, where she received numerous awards, including the coveted Peabody. In 2004, working with Dan Rather at 60 Minutes II, her team broke the story of prison abuse at Abu Ghraib. Later that year she was fired for producing a controversial report on President George W. Bush's military service.

Her book Truth and Duty, is now available in paperback

It has been said about the baby-boomer left, but might be said about leftists in general, that they honestly believe the world began at their own birth.
It has also been said that those who care nothing for the past care little for the future.
The narcissistic leftist, confusing his own birth with that of the whole world, confuses his own death with the death of the world.
I believe that is one reason why leftists are so prone to indulge in apocalyptic fantasies, and why they have an attraction-repulsion to various endtime scenarios.
They fear their own death but hope the whole world really does go with them.

re: #15 Globular Cluster

It may actually be correct that the Republican party is dying. Illegal aliens enter this country, gain amnesty under an Obama administration, then get tons of entitlements. Thus, they vote Democrat. Meanwhile the heartland gets characterized as rednecks by the elite MSM, which refuses to cover their concerns or examine candidates they oppose. Similarly, liberals conspire to make America a place where personal responsibility is devalued and external finger-pointing is made legitimate. University radicals, hollywood leftists, and the MSM make their agenda the degradation of moral values, and the result is the ultimate decline of the Republican party.

I think it's more than that. You also need to factor in the self-perpetuating federal bureaucracy, which supports the left-liberal agenda and actively works to oppose Republican officeholders, policies, and candidates. Add the vast amount of money sloshing around in non-profit foundations, which are also run by left-liberal self-perpetuating boards of directors, even those founded by conservatives such as Walter Annenberg or John D. MacArthur. Grant money flows from the federal government to the foundations to the community organizers to support of the Democrat party. Next, you have the vast pool of money and power available to the labor unions, which effectively have the power to tax their members and funnel that money to support of Democrats, and which may enjoy an unprecedented growth in power if secret ballot is eliminated for union organizing. Finally, you add in the power of groups like ACORN or the Chicago Democrat machine to bring out large numbers of voters who may or may not be legal voters, and to even create non-existent voters. The result could very well be a permanent majority Democrat party, and the end of the two party system as we have known it. The end of the economic and social miracle that America has been since the end of World War II.

But let's face up to the reality that without people willing to wage a just war: 1) We don't have a country; 2) The slaves would never have been freed and we would be two warring countries; 3) Hitler would have dragged Europe into a complete disaster, as opposed to the terrible disaster he did accomplish; 4) The Soviets would still have their boots planted on the heads of Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Czech, Hungary, Yugoslavia, etc. etc.; 5) Saddam would still be raping women in front of their husbands in Baghdad dungeons; 6) The Taliban would still be chopping up women in the National Soccer Stadium in Kabul.

I guess I must have missed the earlier Berg brouhaha on LGF. I only recently became aware of it. I have to confess that, on the surface, the birth certificate thing is puzzling; why is the Obama team SO secretive about certain things (including his health records, his academic records, his past associates, etc)? I mean, the inference is that they have something to hide.

Anyway, it obviously irritates you, so I for one won't bring it up further.

"influence an election in a fraudulent manner", Shucks, that's just SOP for DEMS/Oman, their outreach at-arms-length thugs ACORN, and their PR arm - the MSM.

You know, dear lizards - the "ends justify the means." And this is why Mapes will remain delusional forever. After imbibing enough of their Kool Aid, right and wrong cease to exist.

It will take decades to restore the education system from the commies... Here in NYC, the other day, there was study about NYC public school students. Incredibly, something like 1 in 5 students in NYC K-5 misses one month of school every year, that is 90,000 students who are out of school a month every school year...

Our public education system is dead. And our Constitution has no right to a government run education like way too many people believe...

Mary is right about right-leaning blogs being sidelined.
But it isn't because 0bama won.

It is because somehow the Left made truth irrelevant.
So debunking lies is also irrelevant.
So these blogs can't do anything to affect the election no matter how many lies 0bama and his get caught in.

Sadder than Mary thinks, however.

After Obama & the House & Senate Dems get through with the "Brave New World" legislation, it will probably be common to commit 10 hate crimes in the couirse of a day & not even be aware of it.

Wayyyyy OT but interesting:

So yesterday, I pondered to myself what the Weathermen went off to do, after attempting a violent overthrow of the U.S. government, and mentally orgasming over murdering 25 million people. I did some research on the wiki and got some ANSWERS. (pun intended):

The original manifesto of the Weatherman was signed by 11 people: including Mark Rudd, Bernardine Dohrn, John Jacobs, Bill Ayers, Jim Mellen, Terry Robbins, Karen Ashley, Jeff Jones, Gerry Long, and Steve Tappis.

So as the VH1 show used to say: Where are they now?"

Mark Rudd TEACHER "He became an instructor of mathematics at Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque, New Mexico". Attitude towards Marxism; unchanged!

Bernadine Dohrn: TEACHER "In 1991, she was hired by Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, as an adjunct professor of law, with the title "Clinical Associate Professor of Law" Also, "Dohrn now serves on the board of numerous human rights committees and teaches comparative law. Since 2002, she has served as Visiting Law Faculty at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. " Attitude towards Marxism and violence; unchanged!

John Jacobs: DECEASED. "Jacobs was cremated. Some of his ashes were spread in his backyard, some in English Bay, and some in Oregon (near a place he had visited while on the run).[1] Some of his ashes were also taken to Cuba and spread near the mausoleum of Che Guevara. A photo of Jacobs from the late 1960s is attached to a plaque next to the site.[1] An extensive statement, documenting Jacobs' life, is written on the plaque. It ends with the statement: "He wanted to live like Che. Let him rest with Che."[1]"

Bill Ayers: TEACHER "Ayers is currently a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Education."

Jim Mellen: UNKNOWN

Terry Robbins: DECEASED by "work accident". "The morning of March 6, 1970, while finishing up the preparations to bomb the Non-Commissioned Officers Dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey, Robbins and two other New York Collective members, Diana Oughton, and Ted Gold perished in the explosion of the New York City townhouse."

Karen Ashley: UNKNOWN

Jeff Jones: MEDIA & POLITICS "in the years after he gained his full freedom, Jones has worked as a reporter and editor covering New York State politics and policy. He was a communications director for ten years at Environmental Advocates of New York. He now heads up his own consulting firm called Jeff Jones Strategies that specializes in media expertise, writing and campaign strategies that help grassroots and progressive groups to achieve their goals."

Others Unknown.

If you read their bios you will see that most are either in politics, media, or teaching. Also interesting was their particular interest in CHILDREN. Many are also presently involved in the present SDS organizations on campuses today!

The Jews were exceptional among ancient peoples for their condemnation of suicide as a horrible sin. This view was of course adopted wholesale by Christianity. Chesterton (probably in Orthodoxy) called it the "murder of existence itself."

You misunderstand, they were the first to get that war is not good. They just want "Peace." Well, who doesn't? But let's face up to the reality that without people willing to wage a just war: 1) We don't have a country; 2) The slaves would never have been freed and we would be two warring countries; 3) Hitler would have dragged Europe into a complete disaster, as opposed to the terrible disaster he did accomplish; 4) The Soviets would still have their boots planted on the heads of Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Czech, Hungary, Yugoslavia, etc. etc.; 5) Saddam would still be raping women in front of their husbands in Baghdad dungeons; 6) The Taliban would still be chopping up women in the National Soccer Stadium in Kabul.

In a world where evil unfortunately does exist, Moral Relativism is a certain recipe for national suicide.

Somebody should point out to Mapes, in one of her fleeting lucid moments, that if her cohorts manage to foist Obama onto the American people it will have taken:

1) More money than has ever been spent on any two Presidential campaigns in the past;

2) Money which was raised by massive fraud and evasion of election regulations;

3) Wholesale vote fraud on an unprecedented national scale;

4) Relentlessly slanted media, including blackouts of opposing voices and overt distortions;

5) Active concealment of the candidate's entire background;

6) Callous disregard of the popular primary vote by the party that nominated him;

7) Groundless charges of racism hurled with abandon.

And with all this, the (slanted) polls still show a very close election.

Oh yeah, a real triumph.


In her world there's nothing wrong with the above.....because we're eeeevil........effing bitch.

Huh. I read both of your links and, other than the fact that Raoul has come to his senses to accept aid from the EU, don't understand the EU's position. What does the EU get out of this - other than the "right" to send 30+ million Euros to Cuba, I mean?
And the second part of your link was also clear to me, but what is the significance vis a vis the US economy?

I'm not sure what the EU-Cuba play is all about. It may actually be on humanitarian grounds following IKE.

As for the Baltic Dry Index - this is a huge indicator. It was something like 16,000 last June and has dropped to 1200. The Economist plays it as resulting from the credit crunch but they left out one factor - oil prices. International trade is plummeting. China is slowing down, the dollar is rising - our exports are going to get it in the neck.

Obama seems unable to discern friend from foe. Our interests from theirs. The fact that he takes seriously a book by a Muslim of dubious intellectual rigor regarding the demise of the USA is troubling. I am sure he is not reading this to discern the views of an enemy.

Not quite. He sees Republicans as his enemies. (A lot of self-deleted stuff in that sentence.)

re: #275 Walter L. Newton
Hey Walter: couple of very quick points: one is check your e-mail, please.
Two is this: the economy is in a shambles - forget for the moment who is responsible (I know that means forgetting that the Democrats created the entire Sub-Prime Market with the CRA, signed by Democrat President Clinton) the fact is that when times are tough and the MSM are ALL hollering that times are gonna get tougher, that's when the buzzards start to flock around what they perceive as the corpse of capitalism.
The fact that we've had nothing like free market capitalism in I don't know how long, that corporate America has acted as irresponsibly as the Democrats and RINOs doesn't matter. But what DOES MATTER is that we are now able, for the first time, without having to go through labyrinth trails, to identify the Socialists/Communists in our midst and to no one's real surprise, we have found them to be, for the most part, the Wealthy, Elite (or Snob, which is a far more accurate term) folks who feel they've already got theirs, so screw everyone else.
We now have targets at which we can aim our (non-violent) wrath and we will do so, no matter who wins POTUS this year.

From the article:

"McCain has cut into Obama's lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deficit to a 9-point lead among Catholics."

It may actually be correct that the Republican party is dying. Illegal aliens enter this country, gain amnesty under an Obama administration, then get tons of entitlements. Thus, they vote Democrat. Meanwhile the heartland gets characterized as rednecks by the elite MSM, which refuses to cover their concerns or examine candidates they oppose. Similarly, liberals conspire to make America a place where personal responsibility is devalued and external finger-pointing is made legitimate. University radicals, hollywood leftists, and the MSM make their agenda the degradation of moral values, and the result is the ultimate decline of the Republican party.

Second opinion...You're still uglier then a can of smashed assholes.

The only thing that worries me about this is that Mary Mapes would be the world's foremost expert on people that no longer matter.

I love how she comes across like a sic year old.

This election has torn the mask off everyone.

six year old even!

re: #106 RedWhiteAndJew

With the kind of fantasy-based constituency that Hussein has, I don't think there is anything that he could do that would dissuade a sizable portion of his bots from voting for him; one time or more.

Yes, it's funny to say things like "even if he ate a live puppy," or "even if he wore a Che shirt." But let's take the focus off of Hussein for a moment. We have neighbors, co-workers, fellow parishioners, etc. who are (or have) mindlessly voted for the worst threat to liberty the US has seen, at least in my lifetime. No, I don't think that is an exaggeration.

Nor do I think the following is an exaggeration:

If Hussein is elected POTUS, he will, within months of occupying the White House, commit numerous acts of treason. I'm not talking about violating the same sections of the Constitution that so many presidents, justices, and legislators do on a regular basis. I'm talking about the transfer of intelligence, vital to US interests, to scum like Ayers and his manifold cronies. The more I read about the genesis of Hussein's political career, the more it sounds like a carefully orchestrated series of chess moves, made by experienced and dead serious players. Hussein is an articulate puppet.

And when and if these acts of treason come to light, and congress, even a dem controlled congress, is shamed into starting impeachment proceedings, these players will start their endgame. The intelligence passed to the fifth-column will then be passed on to those same nations mentioned in Prairie Fire; the nations the Weathermen hoped would occupy the US after our collapse. Domestically, it will be Saul Alinsky writ large. Some of those very same neighbors and co-workers, who were so readily manipulated into voting for "the One," will be primed to commit acts too scary to contemplate.

I used to just dread Obama as someone who would be a crappy president. The more I find out about the people Obama is associated with the more I think of him as The Manchurian Candidate.

"With the kind of fantasy-based constituency that Hussein has, I don't think there is anything that he could do that would dissuade a sizable portion of his bots from voting for him; one time or more."

There is one thing he could do. He could start talking and acting like a conservative Republican. Seriously. That is the one and only thing that will dissuade the bots from voting for him.

Conversely, there is nothing that a conservative could do to get the bots from admitting that a conservative is a decent human being. For the far left, being conservative by definition means that you are evil. End of issue. Even if you spend your spare time volunteering on a children's cancer ward, or rescuing abused animals. or helping little old ladies across the street, it doesn't matter.

Mary, How can we miss you if you won't go away?

357 Sully33  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 1:49:39pm

Someone needs to tell Mary that the "Fat Lady" isn't on stage yet.

re: #338 LGoPs

Heard it said elsewhere - can't remember where - that the media has beome the Public Relations Arm of the Democratic Party - and I agree totally. It not only angers me but I know I'm not overstating it by saying this is a threat to the very republic - the raw, naked manipulation of the information we need to make informed decisions. The fact that so many of my fellow citizens unquestioningly accept this manipulation saddens and frightens me deeply. We need to replace the eagle as our national symbol with the sheep, or the lemming.......

On the contrary, as I said last week, the Democratic Party is the political arm of the media-industrial complex.

Lizardoid neocon hippie summarized it very nicely:

The Democrat party, the media and entertainment worlds, and a goodly chunk of the corporate world are one seamless entity. With the academic world closely related.
359 Mosse  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 5:13:47pm

Ha. Mapes will find out. Even when it's over, we'll have just begun.

360 freeus  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 6:15:55pm

Funny how I have recently read several stories about how many of us are getting our news from the internet, and blogger sites like LGF. Most of the stories say internet traffic on sites like LGF are up by 34%. But those I guess were real news stories reported by real live people that do not make up stupid LIES and publish fake stuff! The question then becomes how in the world could we believe anything this deranged woman says?

And by the way Mary, I am a NEW LIZARD and there are even more that have come since my hatching! I hear from people all the time that want to be Lizards too! I do not see LGF going anywhere unless Obama is elected. But I am sure we would find a new place! With my new Lizard mouth I spit on your article Mary! Phooey!

re: #18 MandyManners

Here's a big, ol' bowl of FUCK YOU, MAPES.

And you can wash that down with a 32 oz. cup of SHUT THE FUCK UP!

362 Joel  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 7:28:47pm

The toxicity and infantile drivel that comes form that losers mouth is going to make our victory on Nov. 4 all the more thrilling.

Btw Mary Mapes looks like Cindy Sheehan's sister.

363 RobCon  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 7:47:19pm

Mary Mapes really is an idiot. President Obama will cause a conservative golden age of commentary.

364 RobCon  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 7:50:59pm

What Mapes is saying is very telling. Anyone to the right of her are evil monsters, not terrorists but Republicans.
We are the problem. We have to go.

365 Yidwithlid  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 8:35:01pm

If Mary Mapes could see a good proctologist, maybe her headache would go away

366 MaximumBob  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 9:28:31pm

Let's see...

* the TV network evening news shows' viewership has been steadily declining.

* the market share of CNN and MSNBC are also steadily declining while Fox News is increasing.

* the NYT, LAT and other left wing newspapers are rapidly losing readership, ad revenue and are in what could very well be a death spiral.

* surveys show that an ever increasing number of people are getting their news from the alternative media

* liberal talk radio, including Air America is failing miserably,

* conservative talk radio continues to grow its audience, ka ching!

* the best gig Mary Mapes can get is a blog on HuffPo.

Net - Conservative media is winning, the Liberal media is dying. Reality bites, Mary

"... left to limply watch ..."

Note the split infinitive from this supposedly brilliant and educated liberal mind. Apparently partisanship is the main criteria to be a producer of a news journal. But you knew that all along, didn't you?

The Donks love to count their chickens before they hatch. It comes from living in a fantasy world. Or from heavy anti-depressants. Or both, most likely, in the case of Ms. Mapes. We'll see who gets the last laugh ...

368 eclectic infidel  Sat, Oct 25, 2008 9:56:04am

At the very least, it's insulting to include LGF in a list with the Free Republic.

369 Master Cranky Hucklebubble  Sun, Oct 26, 2008 8:14:11am

Mary reminds us of those heady days when a bunch of average Joes spoke Truth to Power and actually won.
