You’re right. We know you’re right. But it doesn’t make it any easier.

Obligatory

We’ve always known that they are meanminded, souless, petty and cruel. But it is amazing to me how many variations on STUPID they display. How does this woman manage to feed and clothe herself, or function on a daily basis? What would it be like to be her supervisor at work? The mind boggles.

How does this woman manage to feed and clothe herself, or function on a daily basis? What would it be like to be her supervisor at work?

I had one years ago, and one day she showed up with a splint and bandages on one thumb.

I asked her if it was broken, and she said, “No, it’s only fractured.”

What would it be like to be her supervisor at work?

Like having a small child ‘working’ for you, I would think. (You have to remember, the people who go to churches with ministers like that don’t really want to think. It makes their heads hurt. It’s so much easier doing whatever they’re told by their minister or the people on Faux. Because the government wouldn’t let them put stuff on TV if it wasn’t true, amirite?)

When I shared the ‘End of Fun’ AKA no more Shakira, the Creaturette told me she was going to bed, and that she headache- named ‘Creature’

Evidently, she’s not a Shakira fan.

Look, be fair…only half of folks can have an IQ above 100. And, darn, I think Anderson Cooper was just so sweet to this dumbshit. We should all be so sweet while we brush them aside.

Flyover Jesus America makes me realize that our country is so fucked.

I’m going to pour another drink and go to bed. Maybe read in bed for a while. How decadent of me.

Happy Memorial Day, all you TBoggers.

And you too, Jennifer, Mrs TBogg and the boys.

I expected to see George Tierney Jr of Bumfuck SC on that list but I guess he is representative of the mundane every-wingnut-week events, nothing particularly weird or out of the ordinary.

Cupp already has an extensive history of stupid shit coming out of her mouth so there is no need to photoshop something stupid going into her mouth.

You never disappoint, man. I’ve been an admirer since your halcyon days on Table Talk, and this is why.

I’m going to pour another drink and go to bed.

Me too. I just got out of bed and read about Shakira’s ass being right-sized.

This Jennefer? She a harsh mistress…

Because the government wouldn’t let them put stuff on TV if it wasn’t true, amirite?)

Yep, I’ve heard that. And yet they also claim everybody else but Faux lies!

Well Faux claimed that Obama was a commie–that’s a silly lie.
Well they wouldn’t be allowed to say it if it wasn’t true.
But the other stations claim he’s NOT a communist.
THEY LIE!

Shorter Stacy:

“Oh no, we’re too stupid and lazy to do anything horrible, we just really get off on fantasizing about electrocuting homosexuals.”

The boggled yet inquiring mind also wants to know – what was Stacy thinking when she agreed to be interviewed on national TV saying stupid shit? Did she think she was best equipped to provide crisis management PR for the good Reverend? Did she think she could somehow reinforce his sentiments so that it would be more acceptable to the public at large? Did she think she could put a good face on his homophobia? Why did she think it would be a good thing for her to get her fat, ugly, mug on camera saying hateful things?

Or was she just so flattered at being asked to go on the TeeVee that she didn’t realize what a spectacle she made?

Unlike George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville South Carolina, this poor dunce probably doesn’t even understand why she’s being mocked.

Tbogg, one mistake about your post today. Veterans Day, which is in November is when most of America ignores the men and women who currently are or at one time protected our country. Memorial Day is when most of America ignores those who died protecting our country.

Well, not all of us have forgotten. I’ve just returned from a forgotten little cemetary in South Jersey that holds the remains of Men who served from the Civil War thru World War I. Some have names, some don’t. It’s on public property of Gloucester County and mostly holds graves of men who died during the war. Me and a few other people just got done putting flags on their graves.

A couple of years ago, I was at Beverly Veterans Cemetery and someone asked why no one ever left any flowers. I thought about that for the rest of the day and then I realized that relatives leave flowers and when you die at 25 or under, chances are you didn’t leave any children behind.

But it is amazing to me how many variations on STUPID they display.

Aaahhh, the wonders of evolution!

I love the way bigoted southerners pronounce “homosexual”

Homosectewal.

Just a follow-up on the Patterico business, that to me seems called for, but maybe not in an OP. [TBogg, delete this if you see fit; won't hurt my feelings in the least, and it's your joint.]…

Like commenters elsewhere (e.g., Steve M.’s joint), I got to wondering how that truly disturbing account by blogger Patterico – in real life (as he himself states; no outing here), Deputy District Attorney Patrick Frey of Los Angeles County – was treated by the local press in LA. After all, someone from the DA’s office getting “SWATed” – in what is most certainly an upscale neighborhood, populated almost exclusively by ‘the right element’ (you know! Nice, law-abiding folks) – well hell, that must rank as newsworthy, amirite?

Well, apparently it wasn’t exactly a “swatting” as such, according to Patterico’s follow-up:

I’d like to correct one thing that I wish I had corrected in that interview. It was not technically a SWAT team at my front door, but rather several uniformed sheriff’s deputies. Nobody was in body armor; they had no battering ram; they had no rifles that I saw — none of the accoutrements of the typical SWAT raid. My memory is seeing several patrol deputies with handguns. They knocked on my door within 18-19 minutes of the call, and my house is in a remote area, so they evidently just sent whoever was on patrol when the call came out.

Well, that’s certainly not nearly quite as dramatic, and perhaps that more sedate telling of the events would not have earned him interviews with Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, and other stars of Wingnut Media. Lemons-to-lemonade for DDA Frey, YAAAY!

But I’m still thinking that this event – even if not as dramatic as originally circulated – is still sufficiently newsworthy to make the papers, and along with RS McCain’s stuff, worthy of law enforcement attention. This commenter over at SteveM’s site states it well, I think.

I will hold out hope that this story gets broken by the broken-down-but-presumably-still-functional staff at the LA Times, or even the folks at a local alternative paper (e.g.). I would think that at least the LAT must reach out beyond the city limits to the surrounding county. And if the event happened as DDA Frey says it did, then LE should be all over it. I do think he needs to better back up the charges that it was political foes that did it. I’m sure he has inconvenienced any number of folks during his day job, and some of them are likely sufficiently resentful to do this, and in fact likely had time to come up with such a scheme while sitting in a jail cell. [The perps he's been involved with cannot all have been peaceful Latino protestors set up by good coordination involving masked agent provocateurs and riot police, iow, I'll bet even DDA Frey has occasionally managed to put away some genuinely dangerous criminals.]

We shall see what we shall see, I guess.

{FWIW, if you missed Donald Douglas’ droolings in SteveM’s comments before their deletion – well, if you’ve read any one thing from that dude – ever – you pretty much know the script, so you missed nothing. Dayum, that guy is the Jim Hoft of lawyer-blogging, and he is on a university faculty! Did Velvet Jones once run a law school or something?}

Oh, the humanity! That ass did not become Shakira’s Ass™® by resting, my friend. Rest the random10 if you must, but Shakira’s Ass™® must be continually shaken. If not for us, please think of the children.

How about a picture of Shakira sucking Breitbart’s cock? Yay….

The universe asked you to use your imagination and that’s what you came up with?

Everyone here should save this video for times when they are feeling inadequate for an example of what REAL inadequacy looks like. Did I say inadequacy? I meant the personification of imbecility, stupidity, futility, density, obtuseness…………………

By the way Anderson, watch the new HBO show with Jeff Daniels for a view on what a REAL interviewer would say. Such as, “Well, you have the air time, place in in context for us…..”

This is the new defense mechanism for wingnuts, whether or not it works depends on the class of media interviewers who know enough to call them on it.

Man, we are soooooo fucked…….

most of America ignores the men and women who currently are or at one time protected our country. Memorial Day is when most of America ignores those who died protecting our country.

From whom or what were they protecting OUR country? What was it that caused these men to risk their lives and ultimately lose their lives? When had America been attacked?

“…..Cupp has an extensive history of stupid shit coming out of her mouth so there is no need to photoshop something stupid going into her mouth…..”

Wiping tea off the monitor.

Thank you.

Interesting contextually that (the closeted, BTW) Cooper used new boogyeman Iran and old boogyman Iraq as examples of places where gays are killed.

When I think of the persecution of gays, I think of Africa and guys like Mugabe and Sarah Palin’s pastor who personally aided with witch hunts.

Incidentally, Sadam wasn’t nearly as big on the persecution of gays as are the Sunni and Shia which the USA has empowered throughout the Middle East. And let’s not forget the Saudis and their hatred of gays.

Yep – and that is hatred and violence actively fomented upon gay Africans by American bible-thumping psychopaths like this twit. Of course, twit is not really fair. When I think of a twit, I think of somebody who’s harmless. This festering turd of a human being does more damage than can be calculated.

I didn’t know Cooper was closeted, but I guess I could not care less. I just wish he was a better interviewer (at least in this case).

Yep. Universe sucks imagination…

The LAT has trouble finding the Valley, if death or naked females are not involved. (They have trouble finding most places that are more than two miles from City Hall, if they aren’t on Wilshire, Santa Monica, or Sunset.)
So I wouldn’t expect to hear about something that would be minor for the sheriff’s department. (Heck, I don’t hear about most of the sirens in my own neighborhood, or that I hear downtown. I’ve seen the SWAT van go buy with four or five B&Ws, and nothing was ever reported in the LAT.)

So, it was more of a “send whoever happens to be on patrol in the area” deputying, if you will… Still wrong, but not quite so dramatic.

I don’t doubt it happened… I (like the local police and media, apparently) just question the ties to “the right wing eeeeevil one, de jure” that all these blogs are breathlessly and unquestioningly quoting Patterico alleging.)
((Of course ASKING such questions is “Kimberlin Trutherism” (Donald Douglas link. Get out of the boat at your own risk.))

Heh, thanks for the local insight. I should know better by now than to expect much from the media, especially in its current state. Showing my age…

Now ErickSonOfErick is claiming a ‘swatting’ as well (that’s a Red State link, fyi). Terribly unfortunate, and I don’t know what the perpetrators hope to accomplish (assuming these are happening), but it will actually help out these wingnuts in the end – cry AH’M A VICTIM!, and set loose the WOLVERINES!

Meanwhile, the latest reports indicate that Trayvon Martin is still dead.
