Right Wing Blogger clinches Nobel Prize for Dumbshittedness
As Glenn Greenwald :
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 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 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 -O-Sphere pile on, like brain-damaged lemmings pouring over the .
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 of Stupid.
