Sockpuppet Friday (Andrew Sullivan’s latest conspiracy theory edition)

As usual, you are positively encouraged to engage in sockpuppetry in this thread. The usual rules apply.

Please, be sure to switch back to your regular handle when commenting on other threads. I have made that mistake myself.

Sockpuppet comments about the Republican primary race are strictly prohibited. If you wish to use sockpuppets for that purpose, confine your comments to this thread. Same goes for any discussion that is not funny where people want to get angry at each other. Offending comments will be summarily deleted and the violators flogged.

And remember: the worst sin you can commit on this thread is not being funny.

It’s going to be hard for the Excitable Boy to ever top the unhinged dementia of Trig Trutherism, but it won’t be for lack of trying.  Andrew Sullivan’s latest fever dream involves not Sarah Palin, but one of his other favorite designated villains, the Prime Minister of Israel:

Here’s a prediction. Netanyahu, in league and concert with Romney, Santorum and Gingrich, will make his move to get rid of Obama soon. And he will be more lethal to this president than any of his domestic foes.

Sully does not quite have Benjamin Netanyahu on a grassy knoll… not yet, anyway.  Rather, he imagines Netanyahu in a conspiracy to launch a war against Iran to advantage the GOP in this year’s election, undoubtedly (and ironically) stroking a white Persian cat as he issues the attack orders.

A sane person might read stories of Israeli saber-rattling and at least consider the possibility that Israel is actually trying to avoid military action.  Or that stories about Israel not warning the US of an attack on Iran are designed to create plausible deniability for the Obama administration.  Instead, Andrew Sullivan apparently believed Andrew Adler’s lunatic comment speculating that Israel’s most inner circles have thought about ordering a hit on Pres. Obama — and he’s running with it.

Perhaps this is not a surprise, given the role Sullivan has awarded the Likud party in some of the bizarre conspiracy theories he has floated in recent years.  However, this new delusion almost necessarily implicates Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, a former head of the Labor Party. Indeed, Sullivan also believes Netanyahu would rally “a key part of the Democratic fundraising machinery to side entirely with Israel against the US president.”  To whom is Sullivan referring?  He could mean anyone.  After all, this latest conspiracy theory is diverse, involving not just Jews, but a Mormon and a couple of Catholics (if only as henchmen).

What I really want to know: Who will portray Sullivan when this is turned into a major motion picture by Oliver Stone?

    David Frum (255b30)

  5. ^ lol

    that about sums it up

    Dustin (401f3a)

  6. Frum managed to be nastier than even those guys talking about picketing Breitbart’s funeral, and stupid enough to paint it in a veneer of being intellectual. The latter only accomplished showing how fake and stupid that horse’s ass is.

    Dustin (401f3a)

  7. Sandra Fluke could forget all about expensive contraception if she’d just stick to the ol’ Lewinsky. It would save a bundle and she could still claim amateur status. Works for me.

    Bill Clinton (3341c7)

  8. Well yeah, I called him a douche . . . but in a nice way

    Matt Taibbi (7fba82)

  9. The Chevy Volt in been an unparallelled success in our current lineup.

    It is so successful we have halted production. Mission accomplished!

    Government Motors (401f3a)

  10. NEXT!!!!

    SANDRA FLUKE (36e9a7)

  11. As a gay black man I am extremely sensitive to derogatory personal attacks . . . which is why I referred to the recently deceased as “a giant steaming turd” — ’cause I’m classy that way.

    David Ehrenstein (7fba82)

  12. You sound classy to us, David.

    Rolling Stone (401f3a)

  13. i’d be perfect to play him in the movie: Andrew and I like the same things, and you should see my glutes…

    (after all, everyone at my school already has;-)

    Sandra Fluke (403dff)

  14. The Secret Service wouldn’t let me drive a Volt because it’s not armor-plated and bulletproof.

    Got nothing to do with the possibility of it turning me into Richard Pryor redux, no sir.

    Barack "What's an Edsel?" Obama (7fba82)

  15. Who was that man who wouldn’t slow down long enough to sign in at the front desk?

    St. Peter at the Pearly Gates (4b6771)

  16. I am the first SOCK PUPPET Sandra Fluke.

    So #13 FLUKE OFF MOTHER FLUKER

    I am so full of disease, I am demanding free condoms for all Bostonian men. And barnyard animals.

    SANDRA FLUKE (36e9a7)

  17. Sandra was just exercising her rights as a citizen and there is no excuse for the criticism she has received. None. That young lady that needs $3000 for rubbers is a tributemto her parents.

    Koch brothers are evil by the way.

    King OBambi (318f81)

  18. I am just a poor lowly thespian who needs $3000 for rubbers and those evil conservatives want to deny me access to rubbers that I can get for free all over DC but since I am actually an activist I tried to hide that from Congress and gave the tales of woe about how people are being oppressed and now the President has told me it is inappropriate for me to be criticized as a private citizen expressing her heartfelt disingenuous views.

    The Kock brothers could not be reached for comment.

    Sandra Fluke (318f81)

  19. What I really want to know: Who will portray Sullivan when this is turned into a major motion picture by Oliver Stone?

    Slam dunk: Rosie O’Donnell

    Attila of Argghhh! (93a821)

  20. Boy George will play Sullivan.

    Barney Frank (44de53)

  21. Their name is KOCH, THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE CONTRCEPTIVES.

    KOCH’S R US!! Is their business.

    SANDRA FLUKE (36e9a7)

  22. ZOMFG I cannot believe how you wingnazis want to deny basic healthcare because you want to interfere with the sex lives of everyone because of your theology.

    The Left (ddebbb)

  23. Did Sandra Fluke really claim she was going broke buying contraceptives?

    nk (dec503)

  24. It’s not the condoms that are making people go broke, it’s the storage units needed to house them all!

    Noodles (3681c4)

  25. It is wrong to call an innocent student a slut or prostitute even metaphorically because she is just a citizen expressing her views. The Kock brothers are evil and must be stopped, and Sarah Palin is a uterus-traitor, so it is okay to vilify her, and Coulter, and anyone else we disagree with. Eat a bowl of kocks wingnazis.

    The Left (ddebbb)

  26. this is raw uncooked awesome awesomeness

  27. Netanyahu: Trig! I am your father!

  29. Hey, I’m in the mood for some barebacking!

    Who’s with me?

    Andrew Sullivan (46b08c)

  30. So, after being roundly criticized for floating a conspiracy theory that AB was murdered, my response is to double down and actually ADVERTISE my radio show as the place to go in order to discuss the Breitbart-might-have-been-murdered theory. RATINGS, BABY!!!

    Mike Gallagher (7fba82)

  31. Tried to take a picture of a falcon once, and I had a similar difficulty. Great link, happyfeet.

  33. Flashlight dies, cockroaches rejoice.

    This week in history (401f3a)

  34. The economy remains in the shltter, gas is going over $4.00/g, Syria is slaughtering its citizens, and iran is going nuclear. We prefer to demonize the recently dead, and talk a out fairness, rubbers, and Kocks.

    The Left (ddebbb)

  35. Fee-fi-fo-frum,

    Be he alive, or be he dead

  51. I was going to leave a clever comment mimicking Neal for this where he takes credit for stressing Breitbart to death. But I just can’t do it, so I’m just going to leave the link to the screenshot (I think a screenshot is safer than a direct link).

  59. My reproductive rights are personally and deeply held, stemming from an emanation of a penumbra of privacy. They are so deeply held and so personal that I expect everyone else to pay for them. And I expect payment for my sexual activity through financing via a nominally-Caholic college,despite the fact that premarital sex is a sin to the Catholic Church.

    Plus going to CVS and paying a $30 co-pay once a month for the Pill is a pain in the ass. And this whole “grow up and get a job”-can we get over that bullshit too?

    Sandra Fluke (ea1809)

  82. There are different grades of crude, some of the different cat crackers needed, and the effects on end cost, yet have never worked a day in the oil industry.

    We need to be refining and blending even more different grades of gasoline. “Chicago summer blend” is different from “Chicago winter blend” is different from “southern Illinois summer blend” is different from “Indiana winter blend” and so on. The more blends we have — the better.

    Further, there’s a myth out there that there are arbitrary limits on what refineries can emit. This is FALSE.

    I predict the East Coast is going to experience a steep decrease in gas prices.

    Final point – One wonders what the whiny NorthEasterners would be doing if this were a nasty winter … like Sweden ad Russia are having.
