Over at Human Events, which is like Big Journalism for people who find Dana Loesch too erudite, they are having their moment in the sun because SOMEONE IS TOTALLY NOTICING THEM NOW!!!
It seems that President Tupac is throwing down with Human Events “editor” Jason Matterra for gettin’ all up in his boy Joe Biden’s grill, yo:
Biden had just left a rousing rally where Democratic leaders said Republican opposition to federal funding for police and firefighters threatened public safety. But the cable news coverage focused on the dust-up between Biden and Mattera.
Biden’s visible irritation might be explained by how he was lured into the short interview.
As the vice president left the Russell caucus room, Mattera weaved his way through the entourage, shook Biden’s hand and asked him to pose for a photo. While shaking Biden’s hand, Matter asked him if he felt “regret using a rape reference to describe Republican opposition to the president’s bill.”
Biden looked momentarily frozen at what he thought was a friendly gesture turned into a pointed line of tough questions from a conservative interlocutor. Biden had just signed an autograph for an admirer and still had the pen in his hand, according to a source familiar with the incident.
Because Jason Matterra is the best! Like here he is being a “journalist” and calling Senator Al Franken “Senator Smalley” which should have won him some kind of wingnut Pulitzer.
(As regards the $7 billion jungle gyms and other things in plain english that Jason can’t seem to understand unless it comes in Tag for LeapFrog, see here)
But now the Brooklyn Bad Boy, as he likes to call himself, has gone too far and the White House is going to send Jason to Guantanamo for Douchebags… or something:
Biden aides asked whether Senate rules were broken in the wake of the contentious exchange between the vice president and the reporter.
Jason Mattera, who works for Human Events, a conservative magazine, used a pretext to catch Biden off guard in a Senate hallway and grill him on claims the vice president has made about jobs legislation.
Biden’s office has also contacted the standing committee of correspondents, which oversees the gallery, regarding whether Mattera broke the rules by ambushing him.
What with the government running out of money for stuff, I thought I could save the NSA a few bucks investigating Jason. So here you go, guys, don’t get any on you:
Jason Matterra the gay-bating, military bashing, user of the word “sagaciously” anthropologist
Jason Matterra on the tax laws and foundations
and a Golden Oldie
Jason Matterra stuttering chickenhawk.
MATTHEWS: No, I‘m just asking a particular question. Would you like to enlist in this war?
MATTERA: No, because I‘m fighting a separate battle. I‘m fighting—we‘re fighting the culture war here, but I‘m also supporting the battle that‘s raging in Iraq.
MATTHEWS: Well, what kind of people should fight in this war, if not you?
MATTERA: Those who want to, those who want—who feel the desire, who have the passion to go over to Iraq. I have many friends who are in Iraq myself, people from my church, people who I graduated with.
MATTHEWS: Yes.
MATTERA: They went to go fight over there. I‘m here. I‘m fighting the culture war right now. Both need to be fought and both need to be won by conservatives.
Awesome.

WTF, dude? Is Soros paying you by the post?!? Don’t you have dogs to tend to, rather than prod around in old Mattera matter — the ‘writings’ of that crapascular boil on humanity’s butt surely can’t be a good way to spend a Tuesday afternoon?
Just think, this twit has a better chance of getting on the NYT masthead than Molly Ivins would, were she to start out today as a cub reporter.
I think the proper thing for Biden to say in that situation would have been, “Fuck the fuck off, asshole.”
But then again, I would think that.
Now, now. I thought we established earlier that your should say, “I invite you to fuck the fuck off, asshole.” Emily Post would be so proud.
Also, too, I think if you start with “I invite you to”, you are allowed to end with “you fucking asshole.”
To be perfectly polite , you should work a “please” in there as well. “I’d like to invite you to please go fuck the fuck off and die in a fire , you fucking asshole.”
Hi Mr. Bogg. Can I call you T? No? All right, Mr. Bogg, thanks for creating an avalanche of snark on my birthday. The best present I have gotten so far.
Anybody who finds Dana Loesch too erudite should not be allowed to play with anything more dangerous than a 2-inch piece of string.
“THE NOW STRING! READY CUT, EASY TO HANDLE, SIMPSON’S INDIVIDUAL EMPEROR STRINGETTES – JUST THE RIGHT LENGTH!”
I’m still not noticing them.
Hey, bassets have to eat, you know.
Yeah, these “He looked at me funny! LIBERAL CONSPIRACY!” moments come up every so often for Breitbart and lesser imitators. Funny how it always seems to register as “conspiracy”, rather than “My loathsome presence repulses people and that’s why they don’t want to talk to me.” But as we all know, self-awareness is the enemy of wingnut goodthink, so it’s probably intentional.
But now the Brooklyn Bad Boy, as he likes to call himself, has gone too far and the White House is going to send Jason to Guantanamo for Douchebags
Or, as we call it here in Florida : “The Villages”
Hmmm…sounds like maybe Jason…I don’t know…misrepresented himself?
I’d have used the Dick Cheney, let’s-cut-to-the-chase, “go fuck yourself” version. Hey, if it’s good enough response to a US senator in the chamber, it’s more than acceptable response for the James O’Keefe of journalism in the Senate hallway.
Typical: Mr. so-called “Brooklyn Bad Boy” is just your average chickensh*t wingnut who’s all rah-rah for War, Inc (which may or may not partially fund his wingnut droolings), while allegedly “busting” Democratic pols, but is too chickensh*t to put his worthless douchebag life on the line for his country. Color me unsurprised.
Brooklyn Bad Boy?
I know all sorts of Brooklyn Bad Boys and this asshole is definitely not one of them.
Still fighting the powerless. He’s so naughty.
