Oh no! Why mess with a successful nom de blog?
It's as bad as Swift Premium changing it's name to the thoroughly downmarket Swiftco. Or the Provident becoming the uninspiring not at all reassuring PNCBank.

They sanitized the archives (for our protection) too? Duhayum, what's with the Right Wing and their obsession with rewriting the past?

You know what's comical in this debacle? It's that asshat-rocket could have avoided the whole mess with a touch of "checking the documents!"
Gee, Dan Rather proves to be a far, far better man that asshat-rocket, elephant nose boy, and that other scabby nose picker, deacon.
A little humility could have saved hinderocket and his quirky crew a lot of time, insults and grief, to say nothing of the trouble with their credibility that will haunt them from now on.

Ailes posted on that idiotic comment re: the Time magazine cover, too:
(Assrocket) ooks at a photograph of an American solider praying and sees a beaten, defeated, dispirited and demoralized man.
It's not too late to get help, John.
Of course, what Assrocket can't understand is maybe - just maybe - that soldier is fucking exhausted. Of course, when you have absolutely, positively zero experience - or interest in - fighting in a guerilla war, I guess it's natural you'd think it's all beer and skittles...

Freedom isn't free, you miserable chickenshits. You cheer the war, you love the war, you love the troops, you support the troops. But to recognize their sacrifices would diminish your pleasure so you send the images away. You jackholes are the ones who are always bitching that the left "blames America first." You're the first to blame "the media," to blame "bias" when things don't look the way you saw them on the outside of the box. Why do you now blame the photographers who bring you images of the dead and wounded, of protest, conflict? Why don't you blame the terrorists? Why don't you go wave a little flag in the face all this carnage because certainly it's exactly the item you put your finger next to on the menu. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED. LOOK AT IT. Print out every single one of those photos and paper mama's basement with them, chickenhawks. Here's your war, in all its glory. Max your credit card out, because freedom isn't free.
You cocksuckers, if you didn't want to see the bill, you shouldn't have ordered the food. Quit taking out your anger on the waiter setting the check down in front of you. Schmucks.
I think we should use both, early and often. AssHat and AssHattery need to stay in the lexicon, the imagry is too
good to abandon. AssRocket and AssRocketry certainly deserve a place of honor alongside AssHat and derivatives.
Is Assrocketry the newest psuedoscience in the Halls of Whackademia?

...sources show you what happened, Time wants to delve deeper and try to explain why things happen.
OK, but I'd still like to hear Time explain why Powerwhine was Blog of the Year. I'm serious, it makes no sense at all. Truthfully, if you wanted a Rightwing blog to win, why not pick Insty, or Sully, or, hell, even the Freeps? Is it just because these guys are all attorneys, and therefore have some sort of automatic, built-in respectability? Did they just like the names? Was it all just a joke? (That one I might buy).

The Commissar Vanishes! Remember, we have always been at war with EastAsia.
I'll betcha that Nick Coleman -- the StarTribune columnist who now has a radio show on AAR's Twin Cities' affiliate -- was starting to get under Asspocket's skin. Coleman uses all sorts of funky sound effects (including an elephant for "Big Trunk") to mock these idiots.
Shit, these fricking corporate conservatives at DorkLine have far more in common with Stalin than Churchill. (Though Stalin sometimes actually gave a rat's ass about Russia, which puts him one up on these Ferengi.)
Now you know why, whenever Atrios has to correct one of his posts, he uses the strikethrough technique so everyone can see what he'd originally posted. Unlike Asspocket a' Whiskey, he makes no pretensions to perfection and infallibility.
