Off topic but, no doubt you heard about Lieberman.
And I`m certain you saw this beauty floating around. `one Senate Democratic aide said bluntly: “The left has been foiled again. They can rant and rage but they still do not put the fear into folks to actually change their votes. Their influence would be in question.”`

Why did he bother with the `Democratic aide` when this is pure Bullshit Moose? At least Marshall may be planning a comeback. I love it when you slam him around.

NS: What was the right answer to that [Palin] question?
JZ: The technically accurate question [sic] is that none of the four people said that, but we counted it as correct if they said Sarah Palin.

Me: The factually accurate answer is that Ziegler is so astoundingly stupid that to refer to him as a “horse’s ass” would be an insult to horses.

If the writing in his book is as good as the writing in his bio, I’m not sure I could stomach it just from a purely esthetic point of view.

To turn around the phrase from Jerry Maguire, he lost me at “after being born …”

Nate:

The transcript, however, is not safe for work.

Mostly because we don’t tolerate that much stupidity from 9-5.

Though they are hilarious, I could care less about the swear words.

I read through the transcript and it was like a slow-motion car crash. When the interviewer is called a pinhead by the fourth question, you know you have a live one . . . .

And the Cheneyisms as closers were great. Stay classy, “captain.”

Get a load of “Mark Adams” in the comments. I wonder if that’s Ziegler himself using a sockpuppet?

Nah, too grown-up acting. No cussing.

Like most wingnuts on the web, he peaked in high school as a megadweeb (preznit cheerleader anyone?).

What a jerk. http://162.114.92.72/COA/2005-CA-001343.pdf

Damn, that was almost like a case of Tourette’s syndrome on display.

I can’t wait to see MC JayZee on the book tour — all four people who actually bother to show up at their local Borders will get a random personal insult along with their signed copy of his epic work: “I’m Making This Lame Shit Up As I Type.”

I know very little about how Wikipedia works, but young (at least young to me) Mr. Ziegler’s entry seems WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long for someone with so few accomplishments.

wikiscanner is always interesting:

Make all the fun you want but, Ziegler made captain of the golf team the hard way: with touchdowns.

NS: Thank you, have a good day.
JZ: Go fuck yourself.

Since when is “Go fuck yourself” an appropriate response to “Thank you, have a good day”?

Since wingnuttia is in meltdown. Good times….

After reading Nate’s interview, it became clear that there is a monotony to teh stupid. Yawn.

I suppose this moran isn’t aware that Nate Silver beat out every single other pollster in correct predictions in the last election, since he gets his news from Sean Hannity.

Nate is kind of a mild-mannered guy on screen — it’s a giggle to see how he makes Ziegler squirm and whimper.

“Just because Sean Hannity says something doesn’t mean it’s not true.” High praise indeed.

“Tell me the good things that come to mind when you think about your mother”

“I’ll tell you about my mother..” [BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!]

Nathan Thurm.

The pertinent fact about Zeigler is that he is an old associate of the evil David Bossie.

In typical rethuglican clueless style, Zeigler complains on his blog about all the profanity-laced emails received from lefties!

PW: Classic sock-puppet!

Right you are, Lori! What a transcript. What do you want to bet that John Z. is seething–seething!–with anger and envy over Nate Silver’s $700K advance for the two book’s he’ll be writing? What can Ziegler reply, “Ask me about my handicap”? Readers of that interview know what that is, and it’s way, waaaay off the golf course.

Nate deserves more than $700,000 for a book advance, especially since Bible Spice is getting one more zero and a ghostwriter. Though I suppose the fact that Nate’s books will actually have to compete in the marketplace, instead of being bought by the pallet load by wingnut welfare groups as sign-up gifts has something to do with it.

Nate notes the transcript is somewhat edited:

“The transcript below is intended to be representative as possible from my shorthand transcript, with the exception of two or three rapid-fire ad-hominem exchanges being edited out. “

Rapid-fire ad-hominem exchanges = Nate trying unsuccessfully to quash his laughter…
