Roger El, lecturing to Congresswoman Deborah Wasserman-Schultz for her putative failure to denounce Joe Biden as objectively pro-fascist for voting against a bullshit resolution the Bush administration offered on Iran, exhibiting the self-awareness of a dead possum:

Note to Wasserman: Stop being a party hack. This isn’t about Republicans or Democrats. This is about forces far more important than mere domestic politics. Study harder. Don’t let yourself be used.

I’m surprised he left out, “don’t blame left-wingers for being a hack who can’t get a writing job in Hollywood.”

Via Trainwreck Media’s attempted hagiography of David Zucker’s for his careersuicide bomb “An American Carol” a snippet of a review of this turkey by Jeffrey Wells on his blog, Hollywood Elsewhere:

The laugh quotient is right up there with The Love Guru and confirms that David Zucker was always the Fredo of the ZAZ comedy mafia.

Sez John Cole: “Only in Greater Wingnuttia could making a really, really shitty movie be portrayed as an act of heroism.” Not bad, either.

Really Stupid Things I’m Glad I didn’t Write: From Trainwreck Media’s John Nolte post on the putative scourging of David Zucker:

“Ironically, Zucker could have made a fifth Scary Movie installment without anyone raising a single question about his sanity, character, career choices, or ‘funny bone.’”

The truly ironic thing is that Scary Movie 4 raised plenty of questions about Zucker’s character, career choices, and “funny bone”:

Isn’t it amazing to see just how low some people will stoop if you pay them just enough money?

This is no big revelation to those of us who tune into Jerry Springer on a regular basis. If you don’t, you may be surprised to spot Bill Pullman, Dr. Phil and Shaquille O’Neal among the many formerly respectable celebrities making like orangutans in service of the almighty paycheck.

The occasion is “Scary Movie 4,” the latest in the low-flying movie parody franchise spawned by the Wayans brothers, who wisely bailed out after the second sequel.

Or:

The even numbers don’t favor the “Scary Movie” franchise. Inspiration ran dry for the Wayans Brothers in No. 2; now successors David Zucker & Co suffer gag fatigue following up their moderately improving efforts on the third installment. “Scary Movie 4″ finds horror parody overshadowed by ho-hum groin blows, C-list celebrity cameos, slapstick child abuse, soon-to-be-forgotten hip-hop personalities, plus scatalogical and gay jokes; real laughs are few.

But among the other benefits of Wingnutism is the ability to blame a flailing (or completely failed) movie career on libruls.

Wolcott, pondering the increasingly batshit-crazy musings of Trainwreck Media mogul Roger El Simon:

Multifaceted ignorance can be exhausting, requiring a lot of upkeep to maintain the flow of misinformation. Given that Simon is now haplessly writing the opposite of what he means to impart, perhaps he ought to consider taking a summer-long sabbatical to spare himself further self-embarrassment and mental fatigue

Trainwreck Media lead dumbkopf Roger Simon:

Whatever one thinks about the neocons, they had virtually the only program, the only idea of how to right the world after 9/11.

Me:

If they have such a program of how to right the world, as Simon claims, it’s about time they tell us what it is, and try to implement it in place of the humongous clusterfuck of death, incompetence, and costly ruin they’ve inflicted on the US and the world the last 7 years.

My suspicion, however it that the program of how to right the world about which Simon speaks is every bit as imaginary as the non-existent Iraqi WMDs Roger claimed was transported through the mythical tunnels into Syria with the help of the Russians.

Trainwreck Media Mogul Roger L. Simon in a crappy screenplay starring himself as Nostradamus:

Twenty years from now Bush will be seen as one of the great presidents, having moved the Middle East toward democracy.

But El Raj neglects to tell us: will he still have a grand square in Baghdad named after him, like fellow neocon Richard Perle predicted in 2003 (”The problems in Iraq are ahead of us, but we’re doing better than people think. And a year from now, I’ll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush“) and repeated in 2005?

Of course, Simon’s record on Iraq prognostication to date is not very good, being the same guy who predicted that the WMDs which the Duelfer report conclusively determined had been destroyed would turn up after being hidden by the Rooskies or the Syrians.

Classic pantswetting from the wettest pants of all:

“Muslims are out to steal my pate!”

Actual Roger L. Simon, upon “learning” (if that applies to anything gleaned from the NY Sun Myung Moon) that Muslims supposedly constitute 10% of NY City’s public school population:

“Should we now be closing our eyes and looking forward to the imposition of Sharia Law at Zabar’s?

I blush to admit I haven’t read any of Robert Ferrigno’s futuristic thrillers yet, in which the author envisions courageous holdouts battling inside an Islamic US. Maybe I should.”

My advice: if it involves courage, El Raj, it ain’t up your alley.

Anyone up for their daily blogosphere irony?

The Wet-panted one, stroking himself into doltish ecstasy, cackling over Spike Lee’s supposedly failed film career:

From the NY Daily News: New Orleans will be on camera again soon, filmmaker Spike Lee told CNN. Lee is planning to make a documentary for HBO on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - and Lee said his film will even consider whether the government’s response was deliberately slow.

“I don’t find it too far-fetched that they tried to displace all the black people out of New Orleans,” he said.

At first glance it sounds as if Spike has had a lobotomy. But the truth is the poor guy’s feature career is over and he has to drum up a little work here. Can you imagine Spike Lee in a race blind society?

From IMDB.com:

Inside Man (2006)

Directed by: Spike Lee

Status: Post-production

Credited cast:

Denzel Washington …. Keith Frazier
Clive Owen …. Dalton Russell
Jodie Foster …. Madeliene White
rest of cast listed alphabetically:
Waris Ahluwalia
Ashlie Atkinson …. Burke
Robert Bizik …. Bank excecutive
Cherise Boothe …. Jeanette Davis (Bank Employee)
Willem Dafoe …. Captain Darius

Let’s see, Spike Lee has a feature film with Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, and Willem Dafoe coming out next year.

True, it’s no Gina Gershon and Rade Serbedzija. . .

The last entry for “Roger Simon” on imdb is in 1998, for the notoriously unwatched “Prague Duet.” Talk about stones and glass houses.
