Never or at most hardly ever. I stopped reading Sully back in 2002 after noticing that he never posted corrections on his blog. Why waste time on a man (correction: over-educated lad) who is a serial liar?

Maybe you need to go back to the Kos, or Huff, or those places were facts never get in the way of the beliefs….

15 minutes!!! Arrrrggggggghhh!!!!!

/sarcasm off

You have a hissy fit because Patterico and/or company don’t update a post RIGHT NOW, and when he points out that your complaint was posted a measly eight hours (in the middle of the night) after the post, do you say “my bad?” Nope, you complain that no one told you they were checking it.

Sorry, I missed the page in the Blogger’s Etiquette Handbook which says that a blogger is morally and legally bound to immediately reply to a complaint, without regard to said blogger’s job, blog, personal or family life.

As for your frustrations, I suggest that the term “prick” is precisely accurate with respect to the self-centered whining displayed in this thread.

Sully’s issue is that he tends to crush on politicians like a schoolgirl (or groupie), then falls out of love and later grows to despise them. His “spurned lover” attacks on Bush fall into a pattern first exhibited towards Bill Clinton (he penned the TNR editorial endorsing him for President in 1992), then Al Gore and, subsequent to Bush, McCain (who he was extoling as recently as February of this year). If Obama wins I absolutely guarantee you he will turn on him sometime between early 2011 and early 2012; you can take that to the bank.

Don’t know about the meds, but the turncoat mendacity is certainly the same….furious.

OK, thanks to Patterico for looking into it.

Let the record show that he didn’t let me know he was looking into it last night. He didn’t acknowledge my complaint until this afternoon. So the comment I left on this thread would not have been written had I known it was being looked into.

Shortly after when I pointed out the error via email and comments but before I was acknowledged, this post on Sampley went up. Obviously, I understand that bloggers can’t be in front of the computer 24 hours a day and there will often be delays before corrections are issued. When there’s evidence suggesting that the blogger is back working on the blog but no evidence that he’s looking into the error, though, that’s when I get a little frustrated.

So you might consider being less of a prick

O.K, thanks for the advice. Note that I haven’t engaged in any name-calling here. You pound relentlessly and, at times, not very respecfully (”L.A. Dog Trainer”) on those you criticize. One might expect you to be a little thicker-skinned when you’re on the other end of some criticism, but I guess not.
