1 For the housewarming party, the editors will demand that a conservative blogger set themselves on fire. Beware.

2 eh

3 Fuck him.

4 The Caller destroyed him.  Glad someone did it; this 'he is a nice guy' thing was just too much.

5 HuffPo; the home for itinerant libtards.

6 Will they team him up with that other conservative heavyweight Will Folks?

7 Yeah, but I'm like totally in with the cool kids, now.

8 I hope he fails there.
Too soon?
Or he has a fatal heart attack.

Too soon?

Too soon?

No, I'd say that your timing was sweet.

Who would hire this ratfucker?  Now we know.

11 I'm considering just writing hateful slander about conservatives for a living.  Apparently, that's all you need to do to have complete job security.

12
I don't know why, but it seems like you sort of feel bad for him.  I guess it is because you met him in person?

I'm not a guy who hates people just because they are liberal, but this guy actually does seem like a dick and it seems that he deserves some disgrace to be honest. 

His job was to lie, or deceive if you prefer, to his readers about the fact that he is a conservative.  I find this reprehensible.  I don't care if the WaPo "put him in this position"... it was his decision to take such a job.  I don't think he deserves any sympathy.  He deserves the humiliation he (hopefully) has coming.

13

His face never met a pimple it didn't like...just sayin'

14 #12 or just use Turbo Tax but don't answer the questions correctly ...

15 Thank you Ace - finally someone gets my kind of a.......affection.

16 Does HuffPo even pay for their stuff?

Don't know why he'd be mad at the right, it was the left sniggering at him behind his back.

17 I'm pretty sure that the thousand or so bloggers over there get paid what they're worth.

18 I don't know why, but it seems like you sort of feel bad for him.  I guess it is because you met him in person?

Hey, that's how I know Obama has only our best interests at heart.  He's lookin' out for the folks, just like me.

That's it! The vast right wing conspiracy can have a bake-off to see who  gets to be the new pet conservative replacement for  Weasel. We can get judges (or make them up) and the hopeful asprants to MFM glory can perform in audtions.

21 I'm not a guy who hates people just because they are liberal, but this guy actually does seem like a dick and it seems that he deserves some disgrace to be honest.

Same here.  It's not that he's a liberal, it's that he's two-faced.  He misrepresented himself while trying to advance views diametrically opposed to his own.

22 Ace, I sent you an email, did you get it?

23 I know this is OT, but please pray for my mom in law.  She's in the hospital, not looking good. 

24 while trying to advance views diametrically opposed to his own those he claimed to hold.

Fixed.  It's the end of the week...

25
Weigel got his ass kicked by a "shut-in" and a guy who wears a bow-tie. Ha-ha!

That's funny, not ha ha funny but none the less funny.

29 Does HuffPo even pay for their stuff?

I'm sure one of the Slush Funds created by this Administration funnels directly to HuffPo.  (Or maybe is laundered first by someone from the MSM.)

31 FWIW, I am not on a "Right Blogs" list and in fact never even heard of it.

I was going to ask you about that....

32 HuffPo. Perfect. Every once in a while, just to prove how stupid liberals are, I'll start a post at HP with, "Time to throw out a little bait." No kidding, there's usually a whole slew of morons that take it. Generally followed by a bunch of conspiracy theory, racist bullshit.

33 The vast right wing conspiracy can have a bake-off to see who gets to be the new pet conservative replacement for Weasel.

I hear T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII is available.

But how are his scotcheroos?!

34 For some delicious irony check out the headline of today's Dave Weigel column

35 Why does the ratfucker that hired him get to keep his job when this guy was fired for voicing opinions that he clearly was hired to have?

36

I suppose itÂ’s possible that Journo-List really was set up to be a place to connect reporters and policy wonks, as Ezra Klein contends. Those of us on the outside canÂ’t help but wonder if itÂ’s how liberal bloggers and major left-of-center voices in the mainstream media work out their message coordination and sort out their differences away from the eyes of the public.

The fact that yesterday Rush was able to play about 20 separate  Lefties on the news calling Obama's speech about replacing McChrystal as brilliant definitely looks like there is message coordination going on with them.

37

(I have over 90,000 emails in my Inbox.)

Now you are just bragging. : )

38 Ratfucker should light himself on fire Too soon?

39 IMO, Ace should declare this "The First Annual AoSHQ Ratfucker Day." Every post and comment from now to midnight should include the term as an homage to the departed Mr. ratfucker Weigel.

40 @31 : They have been clobbered by Drudge

41 OT, but sometimes you just gotta give it to Drudge: that photo accompanying his "The Big Grab" headline is just hilarious. I laughed so loud I embarrassed myself.

42 This is so inappropriate, yet so apropos.

43 Weigel resigns......

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

(deep breath)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!


How you like me now, Pac-Man?

44 "(I have over 90,000 emails in my Inbox.)" DUDE!

45 Geez, what's with this sympathy crap for this worthless dickbag?  He's a nice guy, the Post set him up to fail, wah wah wah.

Bullshit.  He was hired to do a job.  He made no effort to do that job in good faith.  The fact that the Post wanted a bad-faith actor for the job is irrelevant.  No one put a gun to his head and said "be a sleazy mendacious hack, or your dog gets it".

Couldn't do his job because he didn't love it?  Boo frickin' hoo.  Out here in the real world, where we can't land incredibly easy gigs spewing cribbed commentary for major national papers solely on the strength of a recommendation by a vapid, butter-handed, androgynous cretin like Ezra Klein, very few of us even like our jobs, much less have a burning affection for them.  We're still expected to show up and put in our best effort, or we get clipped.  And there's not usually a safety valve like HuffPo to pick up the pieces for us.

Dave Weigel.  He was a soldier of Rome.  Honor him.

46 For right now, I'll assume it's overwhelmed servers rather than something else.

They've never had more than two visitors at a time (Treacher and his mom) before today. It's served off a 1998 iMac.

I'm considering just writing hateful slander about conservatives for a living. Apparently, that's all you need to do to have complete job security.

That's the lesson for jobseeking lefties. The lesson for jobseeking righties is that always telling all us out-of-the-loop rubes that, without fail, every lefty asshole with a more prestigious job than yours is a swell feller makes you look like a chump and/or untrustworthy licker of ass when their full-spectrum lefty assholery is inevitably revealed—and it won't get you a job.

47 I mean obviously the left coordinates their message using JournoList or some other forum, all you have to do is flip channels to hear the same exact words being spouted out of different talking heads' mouths. And the print media is even worse, though a lot of times all they do is re-print what AP runs with.

Final Update: Weigel To HuffPo, Where He Kinda Fucking Belongs

No 'kinda' about it...

61

Why anyone would trust someone from the MFM - even those who purport to be conservative - is beyond me.  Of course this guy turned out to be a libtard tool.  Is it really that surprising?

Let writers - especially those from lefty fish wraps - earn our trust first, then we can go from there.

62 Love the first response to the FishBowl story:

Its ok, Petraeus has agreed to step in.

63 At least 4500 of those are mine.

Weigel was complicit in Max Blumenthal's attempts to smear James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles..

That's reason enough to beat the shit out of Weigel

@me:  I'll try to send less garbage.  Ahem.

@me:  At least 4500 of those are mine.

I'm not kidding.  Here's the last one I sent:

Subject:  style tip

Body: 

I'm watching a science show called "The Human Family Tree."  They're using DNA to track the migration of humans over time.  They took tweezer-like device and pulled what appeard to be a turd out of a plastic bag.  To paraphrase, "It is what it looks like, a coprolite, a piece of human feces from our ancestors over 10,000 years old.  They found plant material in it, but what they're after is DNA.  The DNA tells us that.... (yada yada yada)."
 
Um.  It's a coprolite if it's fossilized--if the original material has been replaced by mineral deposits.  It's a piece of shit if it still has DNA in it. 
 
So, FYI, next time you write about turds and coprolites, you'll know the difference.

Guess what?  He replied to that one.

73

She lies. And neither of you are geting your hands on my stamp collection.

77 I dunno, I clearly remember "Liberal Lion of the Senate" back about 2005 or 2006 WRT some drunken rant by the Chappaquiddick Charger. It sounded pretty co-ordinated then.

I think his point was that "gravitas" suddenly came out of all of the RFM's mouths at the same exact time during the 2000 campaign.  I clearly recall hearing a Rush montage back then about it.  So they've been doing this coordination for a while.

78 Guess this explains why Ace didn't get his e-mail invite to Rush's wedding.

79

I only get emails from the FDA warning me againt canned bamboo shoots.

80

After Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate seat, threatening to kill the health care legislation by his presence, Weigel stressed how important it was for reporters to highlight what a terrible candidate his opponent Martha Coakley had been.

“I think pointing out Coakley’s awfulness is vital, because it’s 1) true and 2) unreasonable panic about it is doing more damage to the Democrats,” Weigel wrote.

From the Caller.

81

I only ever gave Ace one tip via mail and it was stupid.

Some group of Alinskyite vermin put me on their mailing list, for what reason I don't know. Last year they were looking for thousands of seamstresses, for some December piece of global-warming stupidity, to be pulled in New York City. I told Ace that they were going to drape a bikini around the Statue of Liberty - it's the m.o. for that bunch - and that he should get a New York moronette to go undercover. As far as I know absolutely nothing happened in December in NYC.

He spared me the mockery then, I suppose, but you can go and have at me now.

82 Guess this explains why Ace didn't get his e-mail invite to Rush's wedding.

Weigel is a walking, talking example of the elitist, mockful leftist nobility that regards people they disagree with like uppity peasants.

He's also a perfect example of why traditional journalism is finally turning on its head.  What other business thinks it knows best what its customers need, don't really give a shit what the customers want enough to pay for, and chastise those who point out that they've gotten it all wrong? 

Is it any wonder the brain trusts at NYT, WaPo and LATimes are scratching their heads and wondering why they're losing their jobs?

I'm in line for Weigel's old job.  After all, I'm known for my fairness and impartiality towards the reichwing wingnut blogosphere.

 

119 OT but interesting is that King Ewok isn't on that Townhall list of the left's 100 Most Hated Americans.

Dude, yer slackin'.

120 Huffington married money and posed as a faux-Conservative so she is simply hiring one of her own, a faux-Conservative hired to present 'strawman' arguments to disguise that fact that LibRule ideology has failed for decades.

121 So I've finally written off Ed Morrissey.  He's wringing his hands over this and saying WaPo should have defended Weigel more aggressively.

Pathetic. 

122 IÂ’m actually surprised and disappointed that the Post didnÂ’t do more to defend Dave in this instance.  The real problem, as I note above, is the lack of balance in the paperÂ’s approach, and not any of the reporting that Weigel has done.

-Ed Morrissey

Speaking of fauxservatives...

123 Y-Not, thanks for venturing into Lukewarm Farts so we don't have to.

124 I'm counting this as one job created AND one job saved!! Green Shoots, baby!

I hope he fails there.

Nah. I hope, in 10 years time, that he fails, becomes a hobo, and ends up in Ace's sights, IYKWIMAITTYD.

130 108 Zim - totally agree.  Dick Morris' compass is ass-backwards on about 2/3 of his takes.  I haven't listened to anything he's had to say since claimed only Condi Rice could hope to beat Hillary! in 2008.  He's been cruising on fumes since he left Bubba's administration and his 15 minutes of apostate-love expired some time ago.

136 No, really. You should do one more update. Just one. This is... classic.

The result is that Weigel lost his job. But the bigger loss is The PostÂ’s standing among conservatives.WaPo Ombudsman Blog

When ya got nothing, how does one go about losing it?

137

A question. Why do they still have Journalism schools? Their market is dead and gone.

138 This lunatic should feel right at home with the other lunatics at the Huffington Post.  What a freak.

139 His job was to lie, or deceive if you prefer, to his readers about the fact that he is a conservative.

Is that really true?  My impression was he was hired to cover the "conservative beat", and that he wasn't supposed to disclose his leanings one way or another.  If you're WaPo you can't like when one of your people breaks the code of silence like that, but I don't get the impression he was supposed to lie about himself.

140 A question. Why do they still have Journalism schools? Their market is dead and gone.

Well, the same is true for law schools at this point (though they will recover).  The short answer is, I guess, people are still paying for journalism degrees.

141 I am sure there is some kind of "message coordination" on all sides out there - it is just that one side is so bad about it.
