Drudge never had an original thought or idea in his tiny, egg covered head....

Further down is Tom T.'s account of being locked out of the Fleet Center during Kerry's speech, which apparently happened to a lot of credentialed folk. I loved this little tidbit:
As it turned out, Robert Smigel was at the same entrance I was at, trying to get in, and entertained the crowd by reading an advance copy of Kerry's speech in character as Triumph the Comic Insult Dog. So I actually ended up hearing the speech twice, though Kerry seemed to edit out the references to pooping on things.
ROTFL!
I hope Tom creates a new character, named maybe E.G. Durd that always takes the lines of someone else and distorts just enough to make it seem like their own words, but fails.
actually I think the best revenge would be for TT to do a Drudge cartoon.
The Drudge Report is a comedy site, isn't it?
Why is everybody obsessed with Drudge? If I didn't know better I'd say some of you are envious.

If all the news were announced in the voice of some Eastern-European-ish immigrant grandmother, the world would be a better place.

Drudge is sorta like those frogs that GW and me used to blow up, it's fun to beat on him now and then.

In that case, Joan, it's a very good thing that you DO know better.
'Cause otherwise, you'd ending up saying something kind of...well...dumb.
Meant to sign my last post "Drudge."
Now you know why my career as a comedian never took off....
It's all in the timing, CS, all in the timing.
On the other hand, who WOULDN'T envy a subliterate, sexually repressed, self-loathing gay man who can chat with Karl Rove almost whenever he wants, and who spends more time wallowing in sewage than a thousand rats combined, and who is the proud owner and operator of the ugliest, most poorly designed site on the Web?
Honestly, I should do so well in life as Matt Drudge! I should be so lucky!

Or in the two-timing, judging from the double post!
Someone actually designed Drudge's site?
Wow.
What's this "timing" thing you good people speak of?
What's typical of the pathetic little coprophiliac is that he went through all that trouble flipping the picture and editing it simply to avoid acknowledging the person he stole it from.
The only time Drudge has an original thought is when he makes shit up.
Drudge is a success, get over it. You folks, on the other hand, have nothing better to do with your lives than post endlessly in a comments section. OK, I have more important things to do, buh-bye.
buh-bye, Joan.
Silly twit.

So, Joanie, just what is it Drudge is a success at? Other than rakin' in the dough from nuts.

Try not to ruin your shoes getting out of that corner you just painted yourself into.
I like how when they 'shopped the picture, they made the light green in both directions.
amatuers.

Tom Tomorrow's blog entry about his Monday following Michael Moore around was one of the most interesting posts of the convention, if you ask me. And there's even a photo of Atrios.
Monday
Matt Drudge = Harry Knowles
Who takes either of these guys seriously?
Why is everybody talking to Joan? She said goodbye and left for fuck's sake. What a bunch of nitwits, sheesh!
Matt Drudge = Harry Knowles
Who takes either of these guys seriously?
Yeah, I stopped caring what Knowles thought when he posted a VERY favorable review for Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut'.............one of the few movies I've walked out of.
Is Joan Matt doing a Mary Rosh?
Bye, Joanie. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.
Oh, and next time? Stay gone.

She's still lurking, Anonymous.
Just like you.
Joan,
It wouldn't have been worth mentioning if all he did was steal the pic without giving attribution.
The fact that he was caught flipping the picture, and actually went through the trouble to change the light in Photoshop (so that both lights are green no less) is what makes it hilarious.
From now on, I'm going to have to assume that any photo I see on Drudge has been doctored with Photoshop.
"Robert Smigel was at the same entrance I was at, trying to get in, and entertained the crowd by reading an advance copy of Kerry's speech in character as Triumph the Comic Insult Dog."
Okay... what do they mean blogs didn't provide important coverage of the DNC? This is the coolest background story I've heard from the DNC all week.
Drudge... I don't care if Drudge makes a buncha kewl loot. I care that people take Drudge and the crap Drudge spews seriously. Drudges accuracy rate is just about the same as Rush's. Rush's problems with the truth made him the target of the book, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot (makes a great gift).

"Kerry is a success. Get over it."
"Fahrenheit 9/11 is a success. Get over it."
Man, this line of reasoning shows real promise! I'm going to have to look into this some more...
I'm a little disturbed to know that Haloscan turns my computer into a one-way mirror through which "Joan" can peer at me. Disturbed, but not all that surprised....
The funny thing is, anyway that you look at it, O'Reilly looks like a pompous, arrogant jerk.
As he obviously is.
buh-bye.
Anyone else notice that when one of the "disappointment" trolls flounces off after "realizing" that it's got better things to do, it ALWAYS says "buh-bye"?
Hone your act, troll. A little variety's nice, you know?
Philalethes, I suspect that Drudge has just flounced off to powder his nose, or maybe it's to see his "girlfriends with the big knockers".
Anyone see the photo drudge put up? Is Edwards' wife a cow or what? She needs to become less visible pronto. And what about Kerry? Looks like Frankenstein on mescaline.
DRUDGE IS A "FLIP-FLOPPER"... ...DEVELOPING PHOTOS
Atrios- shouldn't that be Drudge Rips off Tom Tomorrow?
Ah, name-stealing...last refuge of a scoundrel.
So, what are you, my fellow America-haters, doing to destroy America this weekend? Personally, I went to brunch, did some browsing in a bookstore, and later spent a couple of hours birdwatching. At the moment, I'm cooking dinner for the wife (cornmeal-crust pizzas, big salad, nice Merlot). Probably watch a nature documentary tonight, then read for a while. We're considering going hiking tomorrow, if the weather's nice.
Sure, it doesn't sound like much, but if we join in subversive activities like these at once, America MUST fall. Then, we can take over, and do away with freedom once and for all!
At the moment, I'm cooking dinner for the wife...
Wrong. We wish that is what you were doing but instead you had to come and bore us. Drink your Merlot and go to bed. Sheesh, what a sap.
Atrios: rips OFF tom tomorrow (you left an "f" off of "off")
Matt Drudge is a cyber hypocrite without equal, a GOP slimeball, and purportedly an outed gay that bashes his own.

You... commie... bastard!
Description of delicious cornmeal-crust pizzas... crushing... will... forcing... me to believe... that your man Stalin wasn't the worst...
... can only pray... to Our Lord Jesus... that salad did not contain fresh radicchio... or pinenuts... or America will Crumble!... just... like... a nice bleu cheese....
big deal.

Wow, you really are a Flann O'Brien fan!
If not a son of the old sod yerself, b'gob.
And it was actually a Syrah, not a Merlot...I misspoke. But still, a dram of it was very useful to keep the life in us this cold night. And I may as well enjoy it now, because do you know what I'm going to tell you? Damn the drinks we'll have if your men don't toss your other man out of his seat. Not a drop in the land sold but it'll be parafeen and terps, and blind you where you stand. Them lads has us destroyed now, and mind what I say they'll go after the drink at the wind-up.
I don't know if any of you caught Real Time with Bill Maher this week, but I noticed something interesting. He had David Drier (congressional conservative fuckwad) on as a panel guest along with Michael Moore and Kim Campbell (former Canadian PM). Anyway, Drier took some shit during the show (deservedly so for being a conservative fuckwad) but seemed to be handling it okay. After Maher went through his New Rules schtick and came back to do the ending and the thank-yous, Drier (conservative fuckwad) was nowhere to be found. I caught Maher making an "oh well" kind of face to Moore and Campbell but I can't find out from anyplace what happened. Anyone hear anything out there about it?

well, MM did ask what he'd do if the building was under attack by AQ and I don't think Drier was wearing his brown slacks
preznit giv me turkee writes, "well, MM did ask what he'd do if the building was under attack by AQ and I don't think Drier was wearing his brown slacks"
Yeah. I'm pretty sure he (conservative fuckwad) was wearing a blue suit. Hmmm...if he shit himself, I'm thinking his pants would've turned some deep shade of violet.
Tom Tomorrow's adventure at the DNC this year was probably my favorite blog coverage. The Mike Moore stories that led to his appearance on O'Reilley were quite interesting. And his encounter with Sam Donaldson... "I just hope you guys aren't with Ali G."
And what's up with those paramilitary guys he mentions, with the black and white flags on their shoulders? Sounds creepy. WTF?
rips "off"
rips "off"
not "of"
Jim-
Someone who says they were in the audience posted this on Bill's MB:
"Tonight's REAL TIME was a great experience, especially being in the studio audience. I'd never been at a LIVE tv show, and the audience, by now knowing that Michael Moore was a guest, was fully in the zone. Upon watching the 11PM tape-delay here in L.A., this was more than apparent. The audience, as Bill mentioned in the top of the show, was transfixed by Moore's "ROCK STAR" presence, and, therefore, we ate up everything he said. This was no more apparent than during Moore's silly "What if this building was under attack?" exchange with Dave Dreir.
Dave Dreir did, in fact, storm offstage during "New Rules," and, I think specifically during the "thumb gesturing" gag that Bill pulled....Dreir did his own share of thumbnastics during the show, and it must have been the straw that broke the camel's back."
Philalethes, what's with the Alchemy site link? You don't really believe that shit do you? Are you into crystals too dude?
Oh, and on topic, I love Tom Tomorrow. I'm surprised that Atrios hasn't denounced him since T.T. has come out in support for Ralph Nader on several occasions and totally lambasted the liberal whiners who blamed him for Gore's lose in 2000.
He's written a couple of exceptionally snarky cartoons against liberals who complain about Ralph here, here, and here.
Since Nader is Satan's righ hand man I'm surprised folks here haven't burned Tom Tomorrow in effigy.
When we criticized Kerry (after having already pledged our vote) we were told to kill ourselves; when Seth learned about the recent Nader thing he said, "fuck the homeless"; when Kerry's Bush imitation is mentioned people say Naderites have high standards or that no matter how far the Democrats bend it isn't far enough for Naderites, when the truth is that it is the Democrats who expect obscene concessions; when the two parties' imitating eachother drives away millions of Americans unable to distinguish between them, Democrats calmly accept this and fight for the same Republican leftover base; and when someone moves against Republican values, he is accused of being in bed with Republicans, because the only real alternaive is a candidacy at pains to be Bush-without-the-cowboy-schtick.
Do not be the "flip side to the dark side", to quote a person styling himself after Stewart and Maher; what made the Rethugs so horrible was the unquestioning devotion and their lack of alternatives.
Something just occured to me...
Some months back there was a doctored picture that showed up. It had Kerry and Jane Fonda speaking at the same event (NOT the one where he's in a crowd a few rows back...you can see the photo here: http://www.snopes.com/photos/pol...ics/kerry2.asp)
. It was a picture concocted from two separate pictures (here: http://wampum.wabanaki.net/archi...es/000792.html)
.
So didn't this originally appear on Drudge? I know the photographer of the original Kerry shot is going after the WaPo for printing it, but I could've sworn it showed up on Drudge first. But who knows, I could be wrong on that.
Sure, Druge is an ass. Nothing new there.
But the edits fascinate me.
I can understand the flipping of the pic (and the necessary reflipping of the sign) to make it look like a different picture of the same scene from a different location. Stupid, but understandable.
But changing the traffic light? Why? If anyone is looking that closely, they'll know it's an edited version of the same picture. You can tell that just by looking at the tie! Or flipping it and overlaying the two pics. So what's the point of changing the traffic light? Who is that going to fool?
Bizarre.
Philalethes, what's with the Alchemy site link? You don't really believe that shit do you? Are you into crystals too dude?
Do I believe that there used to be a discipline called alchemy, and that it gave rise to modern chemistry, and that like a lot of aspects of history it's interesting and worth reading about...especially if you're interested in chemistry and the history of ideas, as I am?
Yeah, I do. Sorry if that bothers you, "dude." When you understand alchemy and its position in early modern science, come back and have a chat with me about what "shit" it is, OK?
Its not only the Pictures that appear on Drudge Report that are doctored, most of his rants are crap taken out of context like Limberger.
Newton was into astrology and fiercely defended it because he refused to accept, on mathematically provable grounds, that reality was just random stuff that happened to happen.
Newton was into astrology and fiercely defended it because he refused to accept, on mathematically provable grounds, that reality was just random stuff that happened to happen.
True. And what's been proven about randomness vs. determinism since Newton's day?
Uh...(quick recourse to slide rule and calculator here)...um, to tell you the truth, exactly nothing.
(Not that I believe in astrology, though...even if it one could argue that it were true, the use of it in relating to people would be similar to saying "Oh, since you're black, have some watermelon!" The "statistical inference" approach to interpersonal relations doesn't appeal to me, no matter WHAT kind of pseudoscientific basis its given.)
On the other hand, going back to the Morpheus Theory...hey, everyone knows that all you have to do to be smarter than Newton (or some other dumb alchemist) is to be BORN LATER than one. Hell, if you're born late enough, you don't even have any obligation to understand their accomplishments! And could people watch "The Matrix" back in Newton's day? Nope. Case closed.
Hell, all the astrologers I know are smarter than a guy who wants Bush to win in 2004.
In fact, Pat Buchanan, Mr. Neo-Nazi himself, is more moral than Ralph Nader, because Nader's whole strategy is based on the old Leninist strategy of "heightening the contradictions" -- or, as the German Communists in the 1930s called it, "Nach Hitler, Uns" (After Hitler, Us).
The idea was that after Hitler won, he'd immediately make life so unbearable for average Germans that they'd immediately rise up, unite behind the Commies, and overthrow the ex-paper-hanger.
Didn't work then, didn't work with Bush in 2000, and it won't work this time, either.
(RE: the Buchanan comment -- What I meant to add is that Buchanan, unlike Nader, didn't base his formula for political success on working to put into power someone who he hoped would increase people's suffering.)
Rips of -> "Rips OFF"
To say the german communbists supported Hitler is a blatant fallacy; the two groups fought openly en masse in the streets at every availible opportunity for nearly a decade. The communists simply assumed that their losses would be recouped once the German public realized what they had done with the Nazi's.
Not unlike the placid democrats.
A little DASCHLE or GEPHARDT on your irony anyone?
I thought not.
