I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
woohoo!
facts? what are those?
It amuses me how the ruff-'n'-tuff wingnuts are always ready to hide their factually-challenged carcasses behind "You're So MEAN!!!" defense.
Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd say they were all a bunch of mewling, puling cowards.
My recent experience with lefty blogs that misread, freak out, and hurl insults makes me unwilling to engage with people who don't show a commitment to civil discourse.
Waaaaaaah!!!
"Hey, Jonah Goldberg, Glenn Reynolds and Terry Teachout love me! Get your own facts - I'm writing here!"
"I didn't fact check that either."
That woman Ann Althouse sounds as if she works almost a hard as the prez.
She writes very fucking incoherently. Then she whines about lefty blogs misunderestimating her. She needs to work on her issues.
"Hey, a bunch of rationality-impaired liars with bad manners think I'm cool! Woo-Hoo!!!"
Pathetic.
Damn, and then she gets snotty about Atrios's post.
Who needs facts? We just make shit up as it pleases us! That's what makes us Right!
Ann probably has never gotten as many hits on a Saturday morning. What is she moaning about?

Costas Refuses to Host Show on Holloway By DAVID BAUDER, AP
NEW YORK - While some cable TV hosts are making their living off the Natalee Holloway case this summer, Bob Costas is having none of it.
Costas, hired by CNN as an occasional fill-in on "Larry King Live," refused to anchor Thursday's show because it was primarily about the Alabama teenager who went missing in Aruba. Chris Pixley filled in at the last minute.
"I didn't think the subject matter of Thursday's show was the kind of broadcast I should be doing," Costas said in a statement. "I suggested some alternatives but the producers preferred the topics they had chosen. I was fine with that, and respectfully declined to participate."
Some woman named Ann Outhouse is smerter than me

Morning, all!
Ann, no one likes a crybaby.
I don't want to see Gorelick (or anyone else) smeared, but by serving on the Commission, she contributed to the feeling many of us have now that we were deprived of the whole story.
And why do you suppose, darling, that we didn't get the whole story? How might it had been different if the Dems controlled, let's say, Congress? You want someone to blame, but you refuse to look in the most obvious place.
Why is that?
MSM "whew, thank God they found the body of the missing brown girl in Philly that the bloggers shamed us into covering. Now, back to the missing southern white woman in Aruba and her pretty, white, southern mother".
Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd say they were all a bunch of mewling, puling cowards.

What do you call it when you have a drunk-as-a-wombat buck-naked Liddy Dole flat on her face, a gerbil up her ass, and her auxiliary nipple covered in SAE 10-30 motor oil?
Heh. Humble to a fargin' fault, aint she?
pie - really, no shit.
I don't want to see Gorelick (or anyone else) smeared, but by serving on the Commission, she contributed to the feeling many of us have now that we were deprived of the whole story.
Really, Ann? How would Gorelick's mere presence on the committee "contribute to the feeling many of us have now that we were deprived of the whole story"?
Did Gorelick have dictatorial powers over the committee? Was she the final arbiter of which witnesses to call, what questions to ask, and what to include in the final report? Was she even one of the committee chairs?
I, along with you, share that feeling many of us have. However, that feeling was generated in me not by a sole committee member who did not signify a quorum and furthermore did not chair the committee, but by a series of events and facts, such as: the administration's year-long foot-dragging in even recognizing that an investigation was in order. The smear campaigns against any and all who made the slightest suggestion that (DUH!) mistakes were made. The president's refusal to meet with the committee without Mr. Cheney at his side. And last but not least, the insertion in the end-notes of non-factual, politically-motivated assertions that benefit only the administration and the Republican Party.
All of those things gave me pause, Ann. The fact that Jamie Gorelick served on the committee with no more power than any other committee member, and with considerably less than some, would for any reasonable person rank far, far down the list of things that "contributed to the feeling many of us now have that we were deprived of the whole story." In fact, the reasonable people among us were raising these concerns at the time, rather than trying to go back now and re-write the historical record in an attempt at further smearing.

Oh, I found robdouth. His concern about my party affiliation is touching.
I used to go to school in "the OC", the poor part. The demographics are changing. Bob Dornan thought he was king for life. Much of the OC is becoming heavily latino/latina. There are still some heavy GOP white enclaves, but they are being overwhelmed.
As I said, Jennifer, the guilty are standing right in front of her but, for some odd reason, she can't see them.
heh.
Ann obviously never read Franken's little tome, nor does she seem to care about the title of the Aug. 6th PDB.
Nor does she seem to care who the prez was on 9/11/01.

A typical Saturday night.
Southern California in general is another planet. It has it's own culture. I like cities but in a way SC is like one huge urban area with no actual cities, in the sense that there is no central urban core.
What is so silly about Ms. Althouse' protestations is that the following quote from her post:
"And this is the same commission that included one Jamie Gorelick, a deputy attorney general in the Clinton Justice Department. She's also architect of the policy that established a wall between intel and law enforcement, making "connecting the dots" before 9-11 a virtual impossibility"
is simply not true. Read the memo.
How someone concerned with the facts unknown can be so unconcerned with the facts known is laughable.
And her indignation with the "a woman named" business" is charming, considering the "...one Jaime Gorelick..." phrase, a poetic turn dripping with sarcasm and inuendo.
Oy.
I just refuse to even attempt to wade through this drivel when it's so unfocused and incoherent. Maybe she has a point, but I read about two paragraphs and then remembered I'm mortal and only have a finite amount of time on this planet.
"A goddess named Echidne". Sounds all right to me. "A woman named Ann Althouse" would be derogatory only if being a woman is derogatory. Which it isn't.
Because chicken shit 'wingers like Althouse don't like anonymous commenters I am posting this here:
"A shorter Atrios... Wait! You can't get any shorter. I mean: Thanks to Atrios for providing an instant example of what I'm saying about lefty blogs. Sigh."
I think that Atrios is trying to poiont out that you don't address any of the FACTS TP used to debunk your factually challenged opinion on the impact of the Gorelick Memo on the Able Danger project. You chose instead to whine and claim a deep interest in facts, but don't seem inclined to provide any of your own.
You also seem to imply that you do not believe TP's citation of facts, yet do nothing except wish you could read a substantial analysis of the role off government lawyers in stopping the flow of information about the 9/11 plot. If your implication is that TP is soemhow BIASING the facts, then provide soem of your own.
Finally, the smokescreen you through up with your accusation that TP was sexist in idnetifying you as a woman is just ridiculous. YOu are a woman, no? Are you ashamed to be identified as such? Is acknowledging the gender of a writer in a completely neutral way now diasallowed under some new, bizare, right-wing reverse political correctness?
The overall tone of your response is whiny, inplies TP is lying, and obfuscatory. I think that Atrios went easy on you. He could have offered the alternative shorter Anne Althouse: "Whaaa!"
What do you call it when you have a drunk-as-a-wombat buck-naked Liddy Dole flat on her face, a gerbil up her ass, and her auxiliary nipple covered in SAE 10-30 motor oil?

I tried to post this on her blog -- but being a good wingnut she only allows registered comments. Paranoid bunch, ain't they?
How could one lone woman, like Jamie Gorelick, possibly have kept something as explosive as Able Danger -- about the freakin' Clenis™ administration -- away from a commission controlled by Republicans?
Is there even a trace of reality in that supposition?
How does that change the fact that

Probably that he was getting a blowjob while he was at it,( unlike Shrub, who is married to the Blowjob Queen of West texas, and a former Fluffer to boot).
>sigh
If you get rid of all the emotional signage, the right wing argument is that:
A terrorist attack during year one of Bush II was enabled by restrictions placed on the national security system by Clinton appointees but not revoked by Bush II during the first eight months of office. Then Bush II and the Republican congress created a commission that covered up the failures of Clinton appointees. The net result
is that Clinton was bad and it's great to be in the hands of Bush II.
Okey dokey.

A whole lot of you people are really sick. Part of your sickness is the glee with which you react to being told you're sick.
Just a thought. And, the main problem the country has right now is figuring out how to deal with the likes of you. What it'll take is some major Democrats waking up to realize they've got the moral and functional equivalents of Bull Connor dominating the party and left thinking in general.
I think it's starting to happen, in fact. Take a look at this, and note the attitudes of Andrew Young and Juan Williams.
