— Ace You can hardly fault Reality for being unable to penetrate the Reality Based Community's defense -- it's an airtight scheme, gorgeous in design and flawless in execution, in which Reality is barely able to so much as reach midfield before being stripped of the ball.
It's as if the Reality Based Community has erected an impregnable wall on the 50 yard line: Thus far, and no further.
MVPs...? It's hard to answer, because when a defense is operating at this level of perfection, both finesse and smashmouth simultaneously, how do you pick out stand-outs without, by negative implication, suggesting that other members of the team performed anything less than brilliantly?
But if we're forced to chose MVPs from this Murderer's Row of All-Time Reality yardage-deniers, I guess we'd have to say the Four Horsemen would be, as usual, the Never Give An Inch quartet of Charles Johnson, Kos, Eric Boehlert (who works for a $15 million a year outfit unable to get more readers in a month than I get in a week), and, of course, the Sister Act Double Threat of Joy Behar and Barbara Walters.
And yet... we expect such performances from them. Week after week they put up eye-popping statistics in a defense against Reality so awesome in its design and so ferocious in its execution that we stand in childlike awe of these... Heroes.
I'll say it: Heroes. When someone is operating that this high a level of superlativeness, you almost become a kid again, just marveling at them and realizing, as kids fortunately never realize, I can never rise to that level of achievement. Almost like comic-book crusaders -- touched by some strange X Factor, apart from humanity itself, both blessed and cursed at the same time to be so far above their biological fellows.
However, this Wrecking Crew of Reality-demolition is so on top of their collective game we just have come to expect a highlight reel every time they take the field.
But when someone we never even heard of before -- someone who subbed in at the last moment because the starting strong safety, Amanda Marcotte, turned her ankle in practice the Friday before -- steps in and performs even above and beyond that Fearsome Foursome's heroism... well, that requires some notice.
Matthew Shaffer is the first sports writer I've seen calling out Cannonfire on what is almost certainly a career game.
First, he proposed the Yfrog hack that rallied the hell out of Team Reality Based Community in the second quarter, when things seemed to be a little too close for comfort. Then, even after his theory was discredited and disproved, he nevertheless continued building on it.
He just don't have any quit in him, as they say.
And then -- in the closing second of the fourth quarter, when other members of the Reality Based Community were just basically jogging around in anticipation of the showers, the game well in hand -- he did something truly remarkable.
He suggested that Anthony Weiner himself was now part of the conspiracy.
Anthony Weiner today said that he sent the picture via Twitter to Gennette Cordova. He said that he had never spoken to her on a personal level. She tells the same story, and there is no reason to doubt her.Thus, Weiner made the most amazing confession conceivable: That he just sent a crotch shot out of the blue to someone he did not know. Worse, he used Twitter -- which places all images on public display, even when sent as a direct message. (The example here proves the point; that painting was sent by "Chalice" as a DM, yet it is also public.) Moreover, he did this incredible thing knowing full well that there were political enemies tracking his every move on Twitter.
Sorry.
I don't believe that scenario. I accept every part of his confession except for the statement about the night of the 27th.
I wouldn't believe that part if Weiner personally called me up and insisted.
Wouldn't believe it if Weiner personally told him he was guilty?
Now that's a game face for y'all.
While you guys are out chasin' ass and getting drunk after the game, you know what this guy's doing?
Windsprints. And leg presses.
He's doing the tip drill all by himself, and then tackling himself.
And what are you p*ssies doing? Whining that Madden 11 didn't make you a franchise player?
Gotta earn that right, Cuz.
After explaining it's simply too ridiculous to be credited as possible that a Congressman would indiscreetly sext a Comely Coed....
...My imagination is as good as anyone else's, but my brain refuses to accept the possibility.
Why would he lie about the night of the 27th? Because, as is now established, and as we have all long suspected, there is a lot else in his history that he does not want investigated or discussed further.
In particular, Breitbart has made it clear that he possesses an explicit shot, probably involving an erection. If I were Weiner, I might say anything -- anything -- to forestall that image from being made public.
Breitbart clearly demanded public justification for his decision to run a story based on a shady source whose name he does not know, and whom he himself had come to suspect of malfeasance.
Did Breitbart contact the congressman and blackmail him?
His answer? No, not explicitly, but Breitbart's public declarations constituted a disguised extortion threat, and hence an effective blackmail scheme.
You know, if I had just three of this guy on my squad, I wouldn't just win the Super Bowl. I'd actually take my team into entirely different sports leagues and take home every goddamn trophy they have, too.
Dog Snowboarding? Competitive Line Dancing? Extreme bowling? Shit yeah, Son, mark 'em down as already won.
Game Summary: At Next Media Animation. Well, it's not really a game summary. I'm just keeping the riff going.

>>She tells the same story, and there is no reason to doubt her. Thus, Weiner made the most amazing confession conceivable: That he just sent a crotch shot out of the blue to someone he did not know.
No reason to doubt her, except that she's trying to hide the embarrassing revelation that she was consentually engaging in racy chatting with a man she knew to be married.
Was this guy even LISTENING to the same Weiner confession everyone else was? He flat out admitted he was engaging in sexual banter with strangers.

Kos, Johnson, and this idiot are considered more trustworthy by the media than Breitbart, Ace, or others.
I think this is why we're getting a lot of ex-liberals here and into conservatism in general. You can only wish away reality for so long, or watch your compatriots do so before you crack and need to get away.

Dull incomprehension: 40%

So we're left with the Reality-Based impression of how vastly unpopular Governors Christie and Walker are. And you can't lay a finger on QB Obama when their defense is turning everything into a pick-six.

AGW - Unproven, and even disproven. The leftists believe in it, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
The Stimulus - Dismal failure. Leftists call it a monumental success, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
Terrorism - Primarily committed by Islamists. Leftists refuse to admit that Islamic violence accounts for more terror attacks than Neo-Nazis and Ecoterrorists and Black Power groups combined, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
Obamacare - A job-crushing, economy-crushing, health-crushing travesty of legislation. The leftists believe it will make everyone's lives better, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
Weinergate - Anthony Weiner flat out SAYS he's guilty as sin. The leftists refuse to believe him, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary (including a FRICKING CONFESSION).
They truly live in a strange, terrifying, upside down, freakily fucked up little bubble world.

Remember when you were very young and wished that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy were real instead of mom and dad?
Most grew out of these wonderful childhood fantasies, and began to believe in real word fantasies like humping Marilyn Monroe, charging the beach at Iwo Jima, and having the wonderful opportunity to smooch with Carolyn Finsterwald, the chick with the big tits.
Liberals never advanced beyond the fantasy stage of life, and today these cretins fantasize about global baloney, their elitists superiority, killing the unborn, and their hatred of democracy and love of Marxism.

OK, am I gratified that she's older than his wife or horrified that it's 2 months after his wedding?

Wait....No one questioned how a blackjack dealer in Vegas would have knowledge of what messages Weiner would send to women ...dirty or otherwise? And she's on every blog telling people this? Oooookay....

I'm not as concerned that he was cheating on his wife. Male politicians - they can be whores - what else can you say? I'm more concerned that he can only say 'to the best of his knowledge' he didn't communicate with underage girls.

He is a human being that when caught tried to impugn (rather, didn't stop the impugning) the integrity and honor of an reporter, Andrew Breitbart, who was honestly following up on and reporting a story that the MFM refused to air.
That's the biggest thing of all here. I did feel sorry for Huma but since it came out that she knew of Weiner's online proclivities and her marriage seems like more of one of political convenience than love, well, she knew what she was getting into.

If it were up to me, Dave, I'd strap Weiner into the Clockwork Orange chair and force him to watch himself alternately lying to the ABC News reporter ("I'm the victim of a prank") and making his teary confession ("The picture was of me and I sent it.... I apologize to Andrew Breitbart") for 168 hours straight.
Or else send him to Saudi Arabia to explain all of this in person to his mother-in-law.

What does this remind you of? I'll give you a hint: 9/11 Truthers.
Al Qaeda took responsibility for 9/11. Osama is on tape bragging about how it was planned and executed. Yet the Truthers refuse to accept it and they continue to blame Bush, Cheney, and the US govt.

"So it is psyops, it was planned, it was a faction of shadow government that went after him. Not that hard to figure out."
Wow. Those are some impressive mental calisthenics there. First off, the use of "psyops." Oooh, so very scary and Bourne-like.
That then progresses into the trendy "shadow government" reference. Note the flippant way in which the commenter brushes this off: "Not that hard to figure out." YOU SEE? The machinations of fascistic, shadow government forces are so constant, so ingrained, that they are to be taken for granted and professed as simple fact. It is so utterly impossible that a leftist blowhard might get off (literally) on showing his little red rooster to pretty women via the internet that there is no other explanation except a shadow government psyops takedown mission.
It's breathtaking.
I would applaud the commenter's intestinal fortitude for spewing this bullshit, but I'm too busy laughing my ass off.

With 9/11 Truthers, they are comforted by the idea that 9/11 was the work of people they can identify and hold accountable -- because the alternative is to admit that some significant percentage of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims want to kill them for being Westerners.
With Weinergate, guys like Cannon can't face up to the reality that their heroes, the guys they rely on to save them from the evil Right Wing Conspiracy, are in fact stupid horny little boys who don't give a rat's ass about their constituents or causes and instead focus on how their status can get them tail.

Weiner is a guest in our House. He has now become one of the worst Houseguests ever: He stays up watching pron and eating Cheetos all night. He takes a huge dump in the hall then pisses on the family photos. He hides skeletons in the closet. AND, when confronted, he's lies through his teeth...

Case in point being the 9/11 First Responders bill, which is actually even worse -- it was put together by Democrats in the NY delegation working very closely with Pete King (R- Long Island), who was coaxing Republican support on board. And then Weiner stomps in after a minor procedural setback, demagogues Pete King viciously on the floor of the House (remember the famous "I WILL NOT YIELD THE FLOOR!!!" speech?) in order to make more headlines as a Progessive Kos Hero, nearly blowing the whole thing up entirely in the act.
The NYC delegation forced him to go to Pete King afterwards and basically kiss his ass to beg forgiveness, as well they should have -- King was sticking his neck out for them (and representing his Long Island constituents as well), and then gets sandblasted on the floor by Weiner for his efforts. And Weiner hadn't even been involved in any of the legislative work or negotiations!
Man, I REALLY hope he sticks around. At this point he's a wonderful asset for us.

That's certainly what it sounded like, but that particular column was mostly a quotation of an NRO commenter who built a solid case as to why Weiner was indeed guilty.

My guess would be that is will serve out his term and then all the wonderful Democrats in NY who are tired of his act are going to draw a nice little map basically eliminating him. And he can forget about running for Mayor or Governor.
Well there's always CNN I guess.

He shows no sign of contact with reality, so unless someone goes into his office with a butterfly net, he's not going anywhere.
But, really, is ANY of the left connected with reality anymore? Anywhere?
I can't find a single liberal to talk to to honestly try and find out where they're coming from without it degenerating into name calling and non sequiturs. I'm from a blue state, I went to school in a deep blue state, and I work in a deep blue field. And I still can't talk to any of them.
You know you're in bizzaro world when you hear a lib call Juan Williams a Republican shill.
Translation: Juan Williams is a liberal you can talk to.

the picture that creates is hysterical. He's only told his wife via text messages. I that because she will outright deck him in person?
Did you see the photo of the couple that came out early on? They were walking across the street in the standard "mid-scandal, stand-by-your-man handholding stance" except that she was walking about 6 feet away from him, like she was trying to get as far away as possible. Their arms were taut enough that you could hang laundry.
So that got me thinking that his assertion that he'd discussed this with Huma before they got married isn't true at all. Like maybe she refused to stand by him, and in keeping with his character, he decided to take her down with him. Stabbing each other in the back? Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please.

Never, ever stand between Chuck Schummer and television camera. If you value your life and limbs.
For being Weiner's mentor, Schumer didn't seem all that supportive. But backing him more strongly would have hurt his political career, so there was no need to stick-out his neck for Weiner. I'm sure he also told him there were no hard feelings.
Posted by: Miss'80sBaby at June 07, 2011 01:12 PM (2wfuC)
I disagree. I think any outcome other than his resignation will be sub-optimal. It definitely won't be a loss, because he will be neutered no matter what happens. But a resignation is a powerful image that resonates far beyond the short-term political effect.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo (NJConservative) at June 07, 2011 01:12 PM (LH6ir)
I actually think he may yet have to resign. But yes, this is obviously his private calculus: he can't move up to Mayor anymore, and if he leaves now then where can he go? Nobody wants him, he'd be toxic as a lobbyist or consultant (and he has no influence because he's alienated so many Dems long before this scandal), so this is pretty much his only gig.
And yeah, I think you're also right about redistricting. Prior to the Weiner scandal, word was that the map would either carve two seats out of upstate NY, or one from upstate and one from Long Island & environs. But now? They're just going to give pieces of his district to Meeks (NY-6), Ackerman (NY-5), Nadler (NY-
, and maybe Towns (NY-10).Posted by: Jeff B. at June 07, 2011 01:13 PM (hIWe1)

Disagree, and I think you're gaming this out wrong. If Weiner resigns, this goes away quickly. If he tries to stay on, it lingers. More embarrassing photos and sexts come out. And the Dems' refusal or inability to get him to leave becomes an issue -- he becomes a symbol of Democratic corruption and all-purpose loathsomeness that can be powerfully applied to the party across the board. "THIS is the party that wants back power in 2012. Feel like giving it to them?"

There've been a few. Mayor Koch and Senator Moynihan. Lyndon Johnson was another. To these guys, liberalism was more than a path to personal power.

I actually saw Chuckles Johnson pose the idea that Breitbart was guilty of extortion for demanding an apology or he'd publish the nude pic. Yes, folks, Breitbart is the criminal in Johnson's sick twisted (probably) Soros paid mind.

And yet, the Left was screaming that Breitbart should be sued for libel after the Sherrod affair. See, accusing Breitbart of committing a federal crime isn't libel, it's just gooood politikin'!

That is one odd marriage Weiner had. This will surely put to bed any rumours that Huma was attending to Hillary's feminine side.
LOL
That to me is the funny shit in all of this.
Posted by: Rev Dr Yortul Festrunk
I think when Hillary(!) says she has that "not so fresh feeling", Huma is thinking "you're telling me?"

Where did Joy Behar come from? She reminds me of some refugee from a Miami Bridge Club but ... for some odd reason ... she has her own show, etc.
What's her claim to fame other than being a vapor-headed liberal?
And can anyone buy into this fame thing or does it require unnatural acts with small rodents?

Look, Matt, I know you're not very bright, so I'll put this as clearly as possible: STOP HELPING US! Or else you'll help us right into the big comfy dumpster behind Home Depot #1912 with a big can of KalKan for dinner and a big comfy chunk of OSB as a mattress. Asshole.

it's like a sword that cuts both ways no matter if it swings true or not you just keep swinging until all opposition is in tatters... that's what the Dems/Progs/Socialists have as a weapon.
we have only a single-edge weapon it only cuts one way, it has to cut true or not at all, to win we have to be faster, smarter and more determined.
... or we could ditch the samuri sword and pick up the claymore and fight on their terms.
