Right Wing Blogger clinches Nobel Prize for Dumbshittedness
As Glenn Greenwald puts it:
If there is a place with more abject stupidity swirling around than the right-wing blogosphere, I’d like to know where it is.
Yesterday, Greenwald wrote a lengthy post about an email he received from Col. Steven A. Boylan, General Petraeus’s spokesman and Public Affairs Officer, which is a saga in itself, since the Officer subsequently denied writing the email in a somewhat bizarre and weaselprickish fashion.
In his post Greenwald quoted from the email at length, specifically noting the portions quoted were excerpts only, and separately linked the full text of the email.
One might think that such full disclosure would insulate Greenwald from allegations of duplicity, but for the fact that some even dumber than usual Right Wing Hack calling himself “Dread Pundit” accuses him of “[choosing] not to publish” the email in its entirety, and somehow concealing the non-bizarre portions.
But no. And naturally, the other inhabitants of the Dumb-O-Sphere pile on, like brain-damaged lemmings pouring over the cliffs of stupidity.
Forget that the email, in its entirety, is still bizarre — especially since the Colonel now apparently denies sending it. And nothing in the email would indicate that it was anything other than “unsolicited.” Greenwald made the entire thing available to his readers.
Just when one thinks Right Blogostan has reached absolute stupid, it goes even lower. We just have to hope it doesn’t someday reach the ice-nine of Stupid.
…like brain-damaged lemmings pouring over the cliffs of stupidity.
Har har. One great thing about the sheer quantity and quality of all this right-wing stupidity is that it’s forced liberal bloggers to come up with metaphors and analogies capable of conveying it. And I have to say, you guys have mostly risen to the task.
But no. And naturally, the other inhabitants of the Dumb-O-Sphere pile on, like brain-damaged lemmings pouring over the cliffs of stupidity.
We could reduce carbon emissions and probably increase the life span of Americans (statistically speaking) if we just put these jackasses on a treadmill chasing a Dan Rather rumour on a stick and hook that up to the power grid.
HOW TO EMBROIL AN INCOMPETENT LIKE BOYLAN
With general incompetents like Boylan in the league
Can it be any wonder that there is so much intrigue?
The military of today excessive partisan
Is like the kind of force you would expect in Pakistan–
Defending not the rule of law and civil policy
As set by Congress, now it chooses with whom to agree:
It was impartial long ago but now those days are gone,
Wherefore upon democracy one finds the setting sun.
With general incompetents like Boylan in the league
No wonder that the apparatus suffers from fatigue.
Hot-headedly so he will falsify (or so it seems)
In his abusive emails, truthful content by the reams,
Defending of Petraeus stooping no matter how low–
You see now how pervasively infection seems to go:
It is a virus, culture nurtured by the Neocons
To boast self-worth superior while shitting for the nonce.
With general incompetents like Boylan in the league
Can it be any wonder that there is so much intrigue?
Petraeus, as ambitious, like begins to forward sprint,
While calling from the sidelines there has been no minor hint
That he should run for president: I see it coming soon,
For people grow enamored of that military tune,
And so his flunkies (Boylan´s name immediately comes to mind)
Shore up the man for all his lapses to which playing blind.
With general incompetents like Boylan in the league
Where is the wonder that the structure suffers from fatigue?
Democracy depended on an exercise of reason,
Till those who exercised it suffered calumnies of treason,
From which day, so it seems, instead of subtle analyzing,
Hot-headedness, pomposity and gain are the comprising
Factors as motivate–severely in partisanship–
All sorts of “civil servants” trying hard to get a grip.
Then is it any wonder? No the wonder is perhaps
Skullduggery no sooner caused the structure to collapse.
