Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) has hired a new-media strategist to help with a vigorous defense launched after heckling the president.
David All, who bills his firm as the first conservative Web 2.0 agency, was retained Thursday afternoon amid the media storm surrounding Wilson’s “You lie!” outburst. Since then, All has been busy writing Twitter updates and reaching out to conservative blogs on Wilson’s behalf.
Sad.

For a fun time, follow her?
I have to stay home and wash my neighbour’s dog’s hair.

Joe’s (tax paid?) media strategist will use the word “liar” eleventy frillion times, and maybe a Hitler moustache.
Web 2.0? I believe that was blogs and maybe Facebook. The right-wingers are always just one step behind the times. Would be cute if they weren’t so scumbaggy.
Oooo: “Web 2.0″. I betcha’ they use almost the latest version of Microsoft Publisher to build sites.
I intend to pick cat poop out of the gardens of everybody on my block!
What’s sad is that Wilson can’t recognize the difference between having people point at you and talk because you’ve done something noteworthy,, and having them point and talk because you just dropped your drawers in public.
Even more depressing is that the media can’t recognize that difference either.
Since it is my understanding that the point of “Web 2.0″ was that instead of soapbox pontification and mindless spraying of PR spam, web communication would be bi-directional and cooperative between the publisher and its readers as well as the general internet community. Thus, by hiring this fine young republican consultant, I can only assume this indicates the Congressman’s encouragement of open comments on all his campaign sites as well as Collective Commons copyright on all content he may provide.
[…]Collective Commons copyright on all content he may provide[…] Sure, nice thought in theory. But just as with other plagues of the commons — like, say, athlete’s foot or herpes — his ‘content’ is not really stuff anyone else can use for much good.
As a good Republican he’ll probably stamp little copyright notices everywhere, operating under the delusion that he’s somehow got a goldmine waiting to be exploited, either thru lawsuits or a book contract with Regnery…
You know, I’ll bet whoever writes Palin’s facebook is just seething that they have to let All be the public face of manipulating the world through social media (unless, of course, it is All, in which case I’ll bet he’s just seething that he has a much less telegenic lunatic to work with in public).
Yes, this. Seriously. Can’t someone just make him disappear? Now, he’s just being rewarded for his bad behavior.
But, fortunately, not as much as his opponent.

Yes, Web 2.0 has a whole list of planned promotions.
Free Atari game consoles for the first 100 donors to Joe Wilson!
Free concert and rally outside Joe’s office, featuring Milli Vanilli, Billy Ocean, and Tommy Tutone!
And if you sign up now as a volunteer for the 2010 Wilson Campaign, you will receive your very own Motorola Star-tac phone!
Actually he was rewarded quite well. The Dems are making concessions to the GOP in a bill that will not get a single GOP vote. WTF!?
The White House says that Obama does not want illegal immigrants to be able to buy insurance through the new purchasing exchange as they would be allowed to do under Democratic legislation in the House. Spokesman Robert Gibbs said the White House will work with lawmakers on language to enforce that. Though the issue is not yet finalized, the Finance Committee is expected to follow the White House’s lead in barring illegal immigrants from the exchange, according to a Democratic committee aide.
I would like to be the first to use the term “ghost twitterer”.
Great. That means for the next 3 years we can expect other Republican congressmen to yell during Presidential speeches because it’s now been shown as an effective legislative tool.
“…All has been busy writing Twitter updates…”
Fuck YEAH. And using every one of the 140 (or whatever it is) characters EVERY TIME. Because he’s a pro.
Poor little mercilessly abused racist, idiot fucktard. If you stick your hand in the meat grinder, you are not going to enjoy the experience.
But just as with other plagues of the commons — like, say, athlete’s foot or herpes — his ‘content’ is not really stuff anyone else can use for much good.
Oh, I don’t know about that. It’s likely to be fodder for a few more TBogg posts, if nothing else.
Since then, All has been busy writing Twitter updates and reaching out to conservative blogs on Wilson’s behalf.
All: Achtung, motherfuckers! Wiederholen sie mir!
Conservative Blogs: Jawohl, mein herr!
There’s been an update: none of the ten was able to connect the Atari without disconnecting their VCR so they have been entered in a Grand Prize Drawing for a ‘79 Trans Am, already up on blocks, to be delivered to the winner’s front yard.
A Congressman who can’t write 140 characters in a message by himself. Just proves again that Mark Twain was right (”Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”)
Already covered under fair use.
