Re: Wanker of the Day: Fred Hiatt (none / 1)

that is some world-class wanking.

That must be especially true when the other guy is insulting you. The mud flies both ways in this campaign, with Obama and his allies relentlessly pounding McCain as out of touch, erratic, dishonest and, over and over again, dishonorable.

Is it an insult if it's true?
McCAin IS out of touch: "the fundamentals of our economy are strong."
McCain IS erratic: "I'm suspending my campaign. Wait, no I'm not! Sike, yes I am! Gotcha, no really I'm not."
McCain IS dishonest: "Obama hasn't accomplished anything but he's responsible for the meltdown."
McCain IS dishonorable: even his own party is telling him to cool it with the racial attacks.

Poor Fred: if his editorials hadn't helped to send so many kids to die in Iraq, I might weep for him too. Unfortunately, my tears are already spoken for by the wreckage of our republic.

John Mccain Called his wife WHAT??

Who is this Fred Hiatt of whom thou doth speak?

John McCain hates my wife because she's a "gook."

Dammit, Boo, quit making me read this icky drivel. It's like somebody kicked open a gollum hive and now they're spreading across the east coast and heading west. Luckily their feedstock will be cleaned out round about January 20, and the gollum juveniles probably won't survive the journey to Arizona.

Please. I just want to whip Hiatt's "...you know what."

Presumptuous is the new uppity.

"But imagine if McCain had selected for his running mate not a partisan attack dog but someone with deep knowledge of the economy and a record of reaching across the aisle. "

Well Fred, you would probably be attacking McSame for not picking a partisan attack dog as his running mate, and wondering what the campaign would be like if McSame had "taken off the gloves" and "made an issue of the character differences" between himself and Obama.

Oh, and McSame would still be losing.

"someone with deep knowledge of the economy and a record of reaching across the aisle"

I don't think he'd find a Dem to run with him. Or does Hyatt mean deep knowledge like in Phil Gramm or Cheney -- kinda like Bonnie and Clyde's deep knowledge of banking?

I think Hiatt was probably referring to Lieberhoser.

These wankers truly live in an alternative universe.

If anyone watched the US Pentagon's propaganda on 60 minutes last night about Sadr City, I could hold back my 4 letter bombs at the TV.

Leslie Stall just took the military's word on everything and repeated it. Our new weapons that kill people are so cool and we built walls too so life could come back to Baghdad.

I was half-asleep when I first looked at this and thought the WotD was John Hiatt. I was quite confused.
