That talentless fuck Al Franken keeps failing upward while I just fail obscurely, but artistically.

Don’t we all? But Franken has been to Iraq.

Tbogg, I just went through the 82 step firedoglake registration process so I could tell you that, although I sometimes feel like the move to firedoglake has hurt the tbogg brand a little, these last two posts are on fire, man. Comparable to your best, and that’s saying something. Don’t you win awards for this stuff? Kudos to you, sir.

The Steve Mason shorter is especially priceless. TBogg, with Mrs. TBogg’s permission, I love you!

You see, the thing about HuffPo is they let just any Z-Lister post there-

John Ridley

Top of the Front Page when I captured him.

Greg Gutfeld: “Where’s my fucking check, Andrew?”

Andrew Brightboy: “I gave it to Henry Rollins, he said you sent him. Wha?”

Wow. That was a tough read. Now that they’ve reprinted every conservative whine from the last 100 years, they’re reduced to using current stuff from their stable of misunderstood geniuses. Watch the devolution of taste, argumentation, and even coherency as you read down the list.

Oh, and that Ace of Spades thing? WTF?

The best part of seeing these posts is waiting for the inevitable John Nolte/TCM line.

Here’s what I don’t understand about the Ridley piece: Downey got the nomination. From Hollywood. For the Oscars. So there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between whining about PC sensibilities from the “Liberal Plantation” when, in fact, the very very liberal town the whole site exists to whine about AWARDED DOWNEY THE NOMINATION. If there was any self-awareness from these people they’d note this ironic juxtaposition — that they are actually supporting the dominant opinion from Hollywood. Instead, they pretend to take the “brave stance” against one editorial in the LA Times, protecting the poor studios against the rampant PC-liberal virus which just yesterday they thought infected them.

Bonus: I like how Ridley pretends not to know the difference between “makeup” and “blackface” regarding Forrest Whitaker’s “tranformation” into Idi Amin. And for the record, I think that Downey’s character is wicked funny, but then, I don’t find Hollywood to be anything but a business that sometimes dabbles in interesting things.

I refuse to click on any of those links. I don’t want my intertubes to get all sticky.

This site is like dogshit heaven for Winger flies. They are all concentrating and buzzing about in one huge echo chamber, flitting about from turd pile to turd pile. Except for Ace, who seems to have confused some of the not-so-bright bulbs. Might be time for the butterfly net for that boy.

We need to somehow get the Red State Strike Force (Wolverines!) to declare jihad on the Hollywooders( instead of the New Majority “Lefties”, who will just ignore Erick et al.) Cause that would be some choice entertainment.

Fortunately, for our entertainment, they are completely self-unaware. The horror.

Joseph Lindsay: Women are being demeaned by not doing sweet little things I approve of them doing.

Who the hell is Joseph Lindsay?

Ace Bacon of Playdoh Spades is writing over there? Talk about scraping the bottom of the latrine.

Any idea why Breitbart calls it “Big Hollywood”? What am I missing here?

Looks as if ♠’s typing there is an up-dated (post-Obama) re-type of something that amounts to “Michael Moore is fat” repeated incessantly.

May be some sort of Norma Desmond “I am big. It’s the pictures that got small,” deal.

Yes, I watch (or remember) old movies too. Hope that doesn’t put me on the shit list.

The Robert Avrech Hasbara Unit has shown up to say that this is a man who is devoted to his wife and wouldn’t think of any such thing.

Jankovic out!

(Serena vs. Azarenka–good match)

I suppress the urge to inform Josepha that her images typify the worst of Early East L.A. Rococo, totally low-rent decadence, like Betsey Johnson—on a gallon of acid.

I just realized that every one of these dilrods think they’re writing for Dennis Miller.

What happened to Greg Gutfeld’s face? Looks like it was hacked out of a log by a drunken lumberjack.

Nail on the head.

ZOMG! Oscar Pix Sux Dix!

Well, even a stopped clock is…(reads article)…never mind.

I like the way everyone’s bio pic is taken at an angle – that’s the mark of a true artiste!

Most women-in-prison films aren’t accurate? Dude’s gotta be shitting me.

I loved Ernie Mannix’s near-future dystopian fantasy, in which out-of-control lefties are spending $140 million per month to convert Gitmo into a “Peace Park” which celebrates Canada and Castro. And note this passage:

“Due to the new strict federaI Franken-Fairness law, I quickly assemble writers and journalists from all sides of the political spectrum; ABC, CBS and NBC.”

See what he’s doing here? Implying that if the lefties had their way only the giant corporate media would have a voice. Yeah, sure. It might have been funny if he’d said, “I quickly assemble writers and journalists from all sides of the political spectrum: The Nation Magazine, Pravda, and the Teamster’s Newsletter.”
