Hope he enjoys that big old shit sandwich.

Mirengoff should have left it up and let Free Market Magic (Pat. Pend.) decide whether he would still have a job on Monday morning.

Although I did not intend this as a slight to the religion or to the Yaqui tribe, it can clearly be interpreted as one.

…and I’m sorry you’re a fuckwit.

I do believe that makes TWO wingnuts who came out publicly against the invocation, only to have to first backpedal ands then apologize.

I’ll take my bright spots where I can get ‘em.

MWAHAHAHAHA — couldn’t have happened to a bigger dickwad. Don’t let the virtual door hit you in the ass on the way out, douche. I would *LOVE* to see the youtube of that conversation in the senior partners’ office at Rip’em, Fleece’em & Screw’em, PLC:

“Uh, Paul, we’ve got a problem here. You and your two buddies from the Mental Midgets Society may have been Time’s blog of the year, but that’s like being Pet Weekly’s Dropping of The Week — doesn’t mean shit to me. I don’t care how wrong you are about everything, but what are you, nuts? You don’t go badmouthing the clients. Ever.”

Meh, Mirengoff deserves what he gets, but it feels like this only happened because of his employers’ business interests-it’s not like someone got a sudden case of enlightenment. If he falls off the map, the thinkosphere will be that much cleaner, but I’d like to think getting someone like him fired could be possible without money involved.

Hilarious. It’s also scary that Mirengoff was the smartest one of the lot – grading on a big curve, of course, but I’m amazed Hinderaker doesn’t impale himself every morning tying his shoes, or drown when it rains.

What I like the most about this story is the way the right-wingers have created their own reality where this sort of smug bigotry gets an attaboy, and then they’re shocked when the real world doesn’t agree.

Is that a photo of Mirengoff’s petard going off? What a hoist!

Sorry, wrong “brave”.

She’s a little less “A Man Called Horse” and a little more “Brave Sir Robin”.

Brave Paul Mirengoff ran away,
Bravely ran away away,
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.

Yes, brave Paul Mirengoff turned about,
And gallantly he chickened out,
Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.

Weep for him no more. Be advised that Paul “Not Assrocket” Mirengoff has been offered a full-time position by Roger Ailes.

Also, there is no confirmation to speculation the Mirengoff was forced to withdraw from the Powertools blog because the kerfuffle he caused got his picture in the paper, and now everyone wants to know why Assrocket is pallin’ around with Young Stoner Al Franken.

My God, he’s an ugly, weird-looking SOB!!!

Ask Assrocket about how he met his wives (now ex-wives). Stupid AND mean.

I believe the firm name is actually Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe.

Seriously, it is really Akin Gump. Apparently, based on their hiring of Paul Mirengoff, founding partner Gump’s first name was Forrest.

lol that linked story ended on a Tbogg-worthy note

Despite his contrition, Mirengoff probably voiced what he honestly felt about the Yaqui prayer–and then he had to take it all back. Which makes him a you-know-what kind of giver.

If this reminds you all of anything, it’s probably how Jack Abramoff defrauded his Native American clients and mocked them behind their backs.
