AD – great link. I’m sure he also did a stint as the Ambassador to Burkina Faso and rode a motorcycle over the Grand Canyon as well.

max, your hate speech is not sustainable. I HOPE that you bail out, CHANGE your ways, and work for truth and justice.

Megadittos, fellow members of VRWC. Isn’t it actually Faux news? And isn’t pitiful that blogging nobodies like powerline and chas. johnson were given any credence at all over journalistic icons Dan Rather and Mary Mapes. Thank god that at least the senate will most likely be swearing in real class and intellect with Stuart Smiley and Princess Caroline.
And yes, buffoon junkies like El Rushbo should reveal the truth of where he got those sexual aid pills when he was searched at the airport. Also enquiring minds need to know whom he was playing with at that time. I’m sure there must be some scandal there. But no, the Nat. Enquirer has to harrass a good man like the Breck Girl. Hopefully there will be big changes in talk radio and rabble rousers such as Hannity, Rush and O’Reilly will silenced. Now if Obama will only go after evil blogs like Patterico. If you seek the actual truth, one surely must admit Daily Kos, Huffington Post and DU set very high standards for honesty and integrity. Pity the right is unable to emulate those giants.

The horrible leftist (clearly a redundancy) wrote:

My understanding is that Ms. Rhodes is a drunkard. I was thinking about Rush Limbaugh, the oxy-contin addict. By the way, I wonder if has been buying any pills ftom Bristol Palin’s mother in law. What do you think, nutcases? Yea or nay?

But that’s just it: even if you assume that Mr Limbaugh is still popping oxycontin, he is in no way pretending to be an unbiased journalist. Because both the Times and talk radio are part of the media does not mean they are, pretend to be, or should be similar, or held to the same standards.

It would be nice if your comparison were as close as apples and oranges!

Oh my, please control my sides from splitting at this display of original, cutting edge humor! “Wingnuts!” Oh where do these people come up with such originality? Wow the left is just filled with such deep, clever wit! Wait wait, let me try….”YOU LISTEN TO RUSH LIMBAUGH!” Hahahaha. Oh please, hold you applause! Stick around and I’ll let you hear my, “You watch Fox News, wingers!” routine. Seriously, I wrote it myself!

It’s obviously overwrought to claim that he has been “blacklisted.” With 25 Page A1 stories over the past year, he has been anything but.

half a brain and a shred of independence

You said that, not me. But the description fits you well.

Translation: Patterico will find whatever reason he can to want to blacklist the guy forever, but because Patterico is a wingnut he is perfectly okay with his favorite drug addict, Rushbo.

Patterico, you can fool yourself, and you can fool the idiots who surround you on your echo chamber wingnutotorium, but anyone with half a brain and a shred of independence stands here and laughs at your antics.
