"A final take on this election: Mitt Romney was a glittering Sir Galahad who, given his impressive horse, armor, and lance, along with the decency and piety, assumed that he could win a joust in a fair charge against the other team's knight."
Victor Davis Hanson, of PJ Media.
The best comedy writing is from conservative media. Romney was more the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail than Sir Galahad. Anyone who say he doesn't care about 47 percent of America is far from decent.
I find it interesting the PJTV went to Wasilla, Alaska and didn't find one resident upset with Sarah Palin stepping down as Governor. I did notice conservative talk radio host Eddie Burke wearing a tea party T-shirt and Republican Mayor Verne E. Rupright.
Pajamas Media will not dare air one Wasilla resident voicing displeasure about Palin. Instead, PJTV went to a tea party rally and filmed hardcore conservatives expressing their love for Palin. These citizens have a right to support Palin and the tea parties. Just don't call the PJTV piece journalism.
Pajamas Media's board is a group of conservative bloggers that constantly lament that the media doesn't tell the truth. Glenn Reynolds and Roger Simon have never desired truth telling. They repeated every Bush administration lie about Iraq's WMDs and proceeded to smear anyone that would question the White House cherry-picking intelligence. Reynolds and Simon want media that will repeat what they already believe. What other reason would they have for hiring Joe the Plumber as a reporter?
Joe the Plumber told Pajamas TV the Club for Growth, the Heritage Foundation, and the Kato Institute are nonpartisan organizations.
The Federal Election Commission filed a lawsuit against Club For Growth. The FEC lawsuit contends Club For Growth should have filed as a political action committee. Club For Growth raised $21 million in the 2003-2004 election cycle for Republican candidates.
The Cato Institute is funded by tabacco money. News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch has served on Cato's board.. Cato fellow Douglas Bandow was paid by Jack Abramoff to write favorable to the lobbyist's clients.
The Heritage Foundation's tagline is "Conservative Policy Research and Analysis." Enough said.
Wurzelbacher is being dishonest. This is a guy that blew off a McCain campaign rally and got tagged by Shepard Smith for not knowing what he was spinning.
SMITH: Joe, do you know Barack Obama’s positions on Israel?
WURZELBACHER: Listen, I know you wanna really get some answers on this one, I’m just not gonna help you out here, Shepherd. Let people go out and find, that’s what I’ve been telling people. […] Listen, you don’t want my opinion on foreign policy. I know just enough probably to be dangerous.
SMITH: Yeah, well that’s what I was kinda wondering.
Joe is a clever huckster and Roger Simon and Charles Johnson are gullible enough to pay him. I find it hysterical the Pajamas Media will pay Joe the Plumber, but not conservative bloggers.
Related: Kieran Healy wrote about the madness of Pajamas Media launch. Johnson and Simon decided on Judy Miller as keynote speaker. What a great way to gain instant credibility.
I hate to write about this because I know the entity responsible is only doing this for attention, but.. One of their plans is working, at least. And that is Pajamas Media's plan to become 200% more retarded by the end of the year. That type of retarded growth is tough when you have Glenn Reynolds, Allahpundit, and Michelle Malkin under your belt, but PJM's newest acquisition may put them over the top -- from "retardedness" to "fucktardedness", even! Yes, the shameless wingnuts in charge of PJM have hired Joe the Plumber to be a war correspondent in Israel.
To show you the knowledge he has of the situation, let's revisit one of Joe the Plumber's proudest moments from last year. After claiming that an Obama presidency would mean the death of Israel, JtP went on friendly territory -- Fox News -- to defend his fucktardedness statements. But watch (at 1:20 into the video) when Shep Smith asks, "Joe do you, uh, know Barack Obama's positions on Israel?"
That's a pretty simple question which Joe the Braindead Moron Plumber could not answer. In fact, his reply -- urging voters to do their own research (even when he hadn't) -- is so pathetic that it mine as well be a Palin interview.
But I'm sure that Pajama's Media is proud as a pig in shit to hire a man who knows absolutely nothing about the Middle East to be a "war correspondent" there. After all, it gives them attention which is all that these vainglorious bastards want. But instead of being thought provoking to get attention, PJM takes the low road by hiring a darling of wingnut creation who has constantly lied and doesn't know shit about shit on anything. Good going, retards -- I'd say you're 199% towards reaching your goal.
Pajamas Media Embarrasses Itself On Jamie Leigh Jones Story
An example of how stupid Pajamas Media is: Bob Owens implies that Jamie Leigh Jones took her journal offline. Owens muckraking implies that there are holes in Leigh's story because her journal doesn't match The Blotter' story verbatim.
The page on the Foundation that held Jones’ chronology of events—— http://www.jamiesfoundation.org/jaime.htm - has been pulled down since Tuesday.
This happened after Pajamas Media asked Jones’ lawyer Todd Kelly about several claims made on that page Tuesday morning. It is yet unknown whether or not the questions asked about Ms. Jones claims had anything to do with the removal of this page from the Foundation’s web site, or its removal from the site’s navigation. Emails to Mr. Kelly and the site’s webmaster have not been returned. A reference copy of the chronology as it was originally published is provided by Pajamas Media here.
There is one little problem. Owens used the wrong web site address. The foundation and journal are still online.
Jones still has her web site online. I'm guessing that is because her attorney feels her story can withstand scrutiny. The same can't be said about Pajamas Media's muckraking.
But there's more. Much more. The Jamie Leigh Foundation’s web site has now taken down Jamie's original story after PJM contacted them about the discrepancies.
These bloggers can't even find an easy to access web site. How would they know if there are "discrepancies."
