— Gabriel Malor It's clear Ezra Klein is getting some lip from former Journolist members who are uneasy at how many of their "intemperate moments and inartful wording", as Ezra puts it, will be published at the Daily Caller. In this morning's release, Journolist members bag on Keith Olbermann for being "misogynistic", "predictable", and "pompous".
So Ezra writes his final note (no really, this time he means it really will be the last one, uh huh) on the Journolist issue by questioning Tucker Carlson's credibility. Apparently, Tucker asked to join Journolist before the Daily Caller's first Weigel piece, but Ezra -- after polling his fellows -- declined.
Somehow, Ezra thinks this makes the Daily Caller's reporting on Journolist unreliable because "[Tucker's] known about evidence that substantially complicates his picture of an international media conspiracy." The evidence being referred to is that Ezra considered letting Tucker join, even though that would mean giving him access to the archives.
Well, ...wait-- Ezra wants us to believe that Tucker's credibility is low because Ezra didn't actually give him access to Journolist and he got the listserv archive another way? That sounds a lot like journalism. Nobody is denying that the emails reprinted in the Daily Caller are accurate. Nobody is saying that the Journolist members outed by the Daily Caller didn't actually belong to the group.
Ezra is saying, "if we'd let him join it would have proven we weren't trying to hide anything." Except you didn't let him join, did you, Juicebox? Your members thought that letting outsiders into the clubhouse would be a bad idea.
Ezra minimizes the Daily Caller reports on Journolist by saying the reprinted emails are just "intemperate moments and inartful wording out of context to embarrass people." That's easily solved, of course. Ordinarily, to defeat out of context attacks, all you have to do is provide the context.
So, where is it, Ezra? You lament that the Daily Caller has jumped to 200,000 daily page views because of its Journolist reporting. You complain that the pieces lack context. And you're sitting on the context the whole time. You could give a blow to Tucker (who probably had to give something of value to get access to the Journolist archives), put an end the Daily Caller's new traffic bump, and put the emails in their proper "context" -- if only you were brave enough to release the Journolist archives.
Ezra writes, "I didn't believe there was anything to hide." Well, prove it.

Klein's outrageous outrage over the exposure of Urineolist is the kind of infantile whining you'd expect from someone whose "office" is on the second floor of his parents' house, just a door away from the bathroom.
"Isn't little Ezra cute?" says his mom, "he's an internet sensation!" There'll be no stopping him when he grows up.
The Fairness Doctrine compels me to note that seeing the pundits on sites like NRO strikes me the same way. They all should get outdoors more often, maybe get some professional help re haristyles, clothing and glasses frames. Perhaps even spend some time at summer camp.

I was going to comment on this when I found it. We've been talking about metaphors here for the last few days and here's what Klein's article says to me, metaphorically of course:
Smitten with the heartache of having had the whole of the journalist taken out of context by evil right wing muckrakers, noble Ezra takes accepts his fate. With the weight of lost credibility of all members of the journalist on his shoulders, brave Ezra realizes what he must do.
Rifling through the drawers of his office and his kitchen, our determined hero collects the instruments that he will need to consumate this ultimate decision; a meat clever and scotch tape. Of singular focus, brave Ezra heads off into the park where, with the knowledge of what he must now do in clear focus, Ezra takes out the meat clever and courageously fells two saplings. Reaching for the tape, Ezra forms a cross from the saplings, firmly plants the cross in the ground, climbs upon the cross member and tapes himself to the cross to perform this ultimate sacrifice to redeem the journalist.
As the cross buckles and collapses to the ground under brave Ezra's weight, Ezra come to a realization - in this too, poor Ezra is a complete and utter failure.

Journo-listed Journalists could not be truthful reporter because this Ruling Class full of obnoxious lying BS artists believe their readers are too stupid to handle the truth.
The most pathetic message to emerge from this debacle however, is that many of those in The Stupid Party (ie George Will's GOP 30% 'highly educated whites') bought into and repeated Journo-listed Journalists BS.
How humiliating for both sides of The Ruling Class (say how does it feel to be suckered flaccid mittens boys?)

Hell even if he isn't, the guy is an idiot. He doesn't have a clue about what is going on on the right, but yet he writes about it, totally confident in the infallibility of his ignorance fueled intuition.
This is why the nobel prize should now be looked at as a reward for idiots. Recent recipients should be laughed out of their professions.

So when do they start calling Tucker Carlson a racist?
Don't really need too - after all, when you take Tucker Carlson's name and apply numerology, his name comes up with a value of 7.
Now take Martin Luther King Jr's name, and you get a value of 11.
So obviously, you have craps. Ergo, Tucker Carlson must be the Anti Christ, or at the very least racist.

130 kemp,
I suggest we do ourselves a favor and send all of our arguments to Ezra klein for proofreading and oversight.....
there was a line from "Fly on a Windscreen" by Depeche Mode....
"Death is everywhere there are flies on the windscreen for a start"
and "lambs to the slaughter, reminding us we can be torn apart".....
if I had faith they were just misguided I'd be on board with "we must live up to our morals".....
they are not misguided they are malignant maniacs.

The sophomoric Journlisters just thought that it would be sooo cool to have a black president without giving any consideration whatsoever to the harm that Obama's screwy ideas and his utter lack of experience would do to this country.
Seriously, you can be sure that those childish, damned fools figured, how much harm could he do? It will be so cool to have our first black president.
The Journolisters have to be the most irresonsible and the flakiest and the most juvenile organization in this country.
(BTW, an unrelated issue is that Keith Olberman must be thrilled that he is suddenly receiving so much attention. That invisible nobody wasn't even a blip on the radar screen until Tucker publicized the looniness of Keith's positions on issues. In showbusiness, any kind of publicity is great publicity. Tucker might very well have inadvertently saved Keith's career. Bowtie Boy has never been the brightest bulb on the tree.)

Recently, at a local Starbucks:
Krugman: But I should get a discount on my double mocha frappachino. Don't you know who I am?
Kid at Starbucks: Nope. Should I?
Krugman: I'm Paul Krugman.
Kid at Starbucks: Who?
Krugman: Paul Krugman, from the New York Times. You have heard of the New York Times.
Kid at Starbucks: Sure, Polly loves it.
Krugman: So your girlfriend is a discerning intellectual then. How nice for you.
Kid at Starbucks: [Laughs] Polly isn't my girlfriend, she's my Parakeet. I line the bottom of her cage with it.
Krugman: How droll. Well young man, I happen to be a Nobel Laureate. Certainly you offer a discount for that.

Kid at Starbucks: Well thank all those "noted economists" that kept telling us Obamacare wouldn't cause our health insurance prices to go up, or that halting drilling in the gulf wouldn't drive gas prices through the roof, or that cap and trade wouldn't make it almost too expensive for us to keep the lights on in here. We keep having to raise our prices everytime some dumbass "noted" economist says something like that.

OT, sorta. But not really - Anyone else here have that sick feeling in the pit of their stomach when contemplating the situation here in 2010 America? I hate to say it, but I cannot imagine this situation continuing very much longer without splitting the country very literally. I myself cannot bear these anti-American, anti-Constitutional, anti-Founder enemies on the far Left. I refuse to knuckle under to them, and I feel (yeah, not very objective) that they will not stop until they force us into civil war.
It seems that a lot of us are simply wishing they'd end up embarassed as if they were normal; that if they lose big, they'll somehow be shamed off of the airwaves. But that doesn't seem to be accurate. These ... enemies, they speak in the Journolist archives of seeing 9/11 as nearly the end of their "movement".
I find that particularly interesting, since they explicitly therefore identify with enemies of the country (the only group I thought was "in peril" at 9/11 was the fucking terrorists) and have nothing but hate for real Americans - a label they abhor because they know that they are clearly not Americans themselves, what with their constant derision towards everything good about us. So the only reason they disdain such a label as "Real American" is that it is blindingly obvious that they are the opposite in every way.
How can we bear to live with these disloyal, lying supporters of anti-American murderous and evil utopianist philosophies? How can we stay a Union with these overly powerful seditionists? How many traitors can we suffer propagandizing against our own beloved country before it becomes necessary to discuss dissolution of the Union?

One question that has arisen in the last week is how closely JournoList members, not only discussed how to shape the news to advance the fortunes of Barack Obama, but coordinated with the Obama campaign. Jared BernsteinÂ’s position as an unpaid adviser and surrogate shows that there was at least one direct link between JournoList and the Obama campaign.

Yep. The lefties all shut their mouths after 9/11, since it was obvious that their world-view was insane, at best. The only lefties who kept talking, at the time, were total America-haters, like Rev. Wright - who was busy talking about "G-d damn America" and "the chickens coming home to roost". It's a shame that Wright's sermon the week after 9/11 wasn't made publicf, then, since there probably wouldn't be a Trinity Mosque/Church now, if it had, and not a single person who ever sat in those pews wouldd be considered for anything but deportation. Alas ... Wright's hate of America and attack on America right after 9/11 was not to be heard about until the ineligible imbecile ran for the Whit eHouse. But, by then it was far too late, as the lefties had regained their sense of security when Saddam was yanked out of that spider hole, which freed the America-hating left to start back in on their seditionist agenda and hateful rhetoric against our nation. It was Bush's success in taking down Saddam that allowed the lefties to feel safe enough, again, to spout their bile and hate of our country. This is why all of the primary candidates had to spend their time explaining why they had voted ot take Saddam out. All except the Indonesian America-hater who sat in the most anti-American, anti-Western, backwards church one could find and used the title of one of Wright's pathetic sermons as the title of his pathetic book ... though he claimed that he knew nothing about the ass whose title he had taken and whom he had called his "spiritual mentor".
America always knew exactly what it was getting. Exactly.

----------------------
Bolton, a Democratic appointee, shot holes in the Department of JusticeÂ’s pre-emption argument immediately, and in a broader sense wondered why the federal government concerned itself at all over ArizonaÂ’s get-tough policy on illegal immigration:
“Why can’t Arizona be as inhospitable as they wish to people who have entered or remained in the United States?” U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton asked in a pointed exchange with Deputy Solicitor General Edwin S. Kneedler. Her comment came during a rare federal court hearing in the Justice Department’s lawsuit against Arizona and Gov. Jan Brewer (R).
Bolton, a Democratic appointee, also questioned a core part of the Justice Department’s argument that she should declare the law unconstitutional: that it is “preempted” by federal law because immigration enforcement is an exclusive federal prerogative.
“How is there a preemption issue?” the judge asked. “I understand there may be other issues, but you’re arguing preemption. Where is the preemption if everybody who is arrested for some crime has their immigration status checked?”

If we boil it down, what do you reckon our two biggest Constitutional crises are, right now?
In my opinion they are...
1) the gross loss of state's rights.
2) the wacky notion in the House and especially in the Senate that their prerogative is to advance the Executive branch's legislative agenda.
1 & 2 are pretty much tied together. States are losing their sovereignty because the shitstains they send to the federal Congress aren't representing the states as the Founders intended.

Keith Olbermann Surrounded By Swat Team In Bathtub Holding Pet Cat Hostage At Gunpoint And Refusing To Come Out.~Blazer
Damn.. hopefully SWAT will be able to get a clean shot and the cat can be saved. If not, well, hell, it is only a cat. I say open fire.

We reserve the right to change our minds about this in the future, but for now there’s an easy solution to this question: Anyone on Journolist who claims we quoted him “out of context” can reveal the context himself. Every member of Journolist received new threads from the group every day, most of which are likely still sitting in Gmail accounts all over Washington and New York. So feel free to try to prove your allegations, or else stop making them.
I love this. Carlson is sitting on some really embarrassing stuff. It's probably just lefty circle jerk stuff and has no real jounalistic merit but he knows that it would cause some of these clowns to look even worse. So he let's them swing in the breeze and threatens to out them if they don't stop whining about his daily Chinese water torture.
It would be a lot shorter to just say "Heel, bitch".

Just a couple of things I ran across this morning:
Honda has plans for a new all electric vehicle. Yes, it's ugly as sin. True, it will only probably go for about 10 blocks before needing a recharge. But on the upside it will fold up like a beer can and you'll probably be horribly mangled if you collide with anything larger or sturdier than a tricycle, so at least if by some miricale you survive you can always find somebody to sue.
Obama signs the Improper Payment and Recovery Act into law, allowing the feds to stop things like fraudlent tax refunds to be paid out to folks like convicted felons and those who are deceast. Senator Al Franken was quite upset, since the Act directly impacts two of his key voting blocks, felons and dead people.
And in totally unrelated news, Megyn Kelly is still smokin' hot.

We agree with many if not quite all of your positions on issues.
But for a while now, we have wanted to disagree with one ussue that you have raised: You have implied that it is your contention that it was, in large part, "white guilt" that got Obama elected. That might be true to some extent or in some instances, but we're more inclined to suspect that it was a juvenile belief that it would be sooo cool to have a black president that was the sole factore that compelled a lot of, um, unsophisticated people (and especially young people) to vote for Obama.
Hell, let's face it, those childish dimwits would have voted for Wesley Snipes or even for Chris Rock if they had been candidates. Seriously. Hence, one possible explanation for the bizarre Alvin Greene phenomena, which (shudder) ain't over yet.

"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty or justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary." -- Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

I heard this in virtually so many words from one Obama voter. Young, gay, wanted to vote for "the cool Black guy" so he would be on t.v. instead of the cankley old white woman.

It's infallible: Whenever geopolitical circumstances have created an unsophisticated, very juvenile, hedonistic, and, consequently, an extremely irresponsible majority in the electorate, i.e., a majority of adults who have the minds of bratty children, this country has always elected candidates like Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama, who are elected for the most irrational of reasons.
They're always candidates who promise to give free ice cream and free candy to the gullible children who will vote for them.
If you were an extremely immature person, would you have voted for that cranky, old fart, Mr. Magoo, or for that street hustler and "cool dude", Obama, who was promising to give you all kinds of entitlements, i.e., free ice cream and free candy, supposedly with no strings attached?
That street hustler, Obama, and those other street hustlers in Congress aren't just destroying the futures of our children to empower themselves. They're so evil that they have stolen the souls of two juvenile, hedonistic and irresponsible generations who elected them for childish, self-serving reasons, and who made bargains with the devil to the detriment of the rest of us. A childish and extremely irresponsible majority betrayed and sold out the rest of us for their own self-aggrandizement. Ain't America grand?

So Schorr isn't getting any older, eh? I stopped listening to him years ago, after he left CBS, and when his true colors showed.
And to tell you the truth, I didn't even know he was still alive.

Among other possible factors, there are two primary factors which explain what you just said: (1) It is easy to register and to log-in on ASoSHQ, and (2) it is such a damned nuisance to register and to log-in on LGF that it isn't worth the aggravation, the latter of which applies to Hot Air and to several other websites, also.

Tucker Carlson is Breitbart on smarter steroids. His patience paid off with inarguable results.
Inarguable, needless to say, if you're not a dishonest leftoid.

""Horseshit" -- StuckOnStupid, Ace of Spades Comment"
Two questions:
1) Do you know what that book is all about?
Yes.. the comment was meant to be sardonic, in jest.
2) Do you think that JournoList guys were wrong?
Absolutely. But I'd go even further than that, I think they were beneath contempt. They represent themselves as "journalists", but they are about as far from true journalism as one can get. They have abandoned the ethics that are supposed to be part and parcel of their profession all in the name of political ideology, while trying to present themselves as ethical and unbiased.
There is very little I can think of that is more loathsome.

Many commentors here are all excited about how juvenile the Journ-O-List is but if you would take off your blinders you might notice there is an embarrassing amount scatalogical juvenalia advancing nothing and proving that this site, like journ-o-list is being run by children.
Young children say, 'do do head!', and then giggle just like many posters here.
(Not everyone. There is a larger contingent that doesn't seem to notice immature comments. I guess the feeling is that if you reward young trolls scatology it just makes them curse and giggle more.)
Posted by: RecklessProcess at July 25, 2010 06:36 AM (f7ylG)
Wow, those comments disappear. Sweet! I am greatly relieved.
Now there is some spam but I have a feeling that will disappear too. It is like a cyber attack. Except this is probably normal for Sundays and I just hadn't noticed until today.
