There's nothing more piquant than the sight of a hack working for a billionaire, offering up a convoluted defence of an alleged billionaire, who freely lied to wangle his way on to the Forbes' list, and was given a spanking on the bottom with the rolled-up magazine as a reward for his efforts …
Come on down, don't lurk McGurn, the pond would like a spurn and burn whimsy - in the spirit of the Donald - as a distraction from the goings on down under …
Yes, that sounds like a thoroughly silly and pointless thesis, a way to waste a few minutes …tedious arguments of insidious intent, measured out in coffee spoons, and subject to revision before the taking of a toast and tea ... though of course the pond was only interested because it offered the chance to run a few cartoons …
The pond generally leaves the United States alone, accepting the bounty of late night comedians offered up on YouTube, and leaving it at that … but every so often, for reasons the pond can't understand, the local reptiles let a thoroughly stupid WSJ piece out from behind the paywall …perhaps as a reminder that life could be worse, and the pond could be paying for the nonsense ...
Actually, before we consider McGurn's pathetic, half-baked set of convoluted excuses, please allow another cartoon …
Now the pond is ready to consider:
Confronted by this sort of bizarro logic, what else is there to do than call McGurn a thoroughly stupid man - as a Donald would do - and move on to a cartoon …
Of course everybody was trying to deal with the Donald's latest twittering feast of fury on the weekend, but wait, the reptiles decided they'd let loose another tool from the WSJ kit …
This sounded like a "wringing hands syndrome" outing, but it did create room for another cartoon …
It turned out that it was just a promotional piece, disguised as an issues-driven discussion.
Here the pond must humbly note that loon pond.blogspot.com.au is an internationally recognised brand that has received lots of positive and constructive feedback from liberals because of its lovingly constructed zoo of conservative thinking … though it has to be said that the pond has of late ignored responses to its correspondents while still deeply appreciating the input and the links …
There you go, that's how to be self-serving
Now watch as Wahed diligently goes about the business of slipping in a few plugs and building the brand, while purporting to be deeply concerned, though the spoilsports didn't give him a hot link ...
When the pond launched Loon Pond, it had no idea it would provide a home for silly people of the Wahed kind, jerking their own chain and no doubt provoking strong reactions from anyone irritated by this sort of bleeding heart nonsense about the need to get along …
But instead of running a meme from Jack and Mars Attacks!, the pond was grateful for the chance to run a few more cartoons …
Yep, it seems even Stiglitch is for turning …
As for the WSJ whining, who said life was fair?
McGurn: "...OK to get a warrant based on an unverified dossier paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign."
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love how the Wingnuts work their litany of lies into their Catechism of Conservative Conformism. That particular piece of bullshit has been disproved for quite some time, but to an imbecile such as McGurn, it's as new as yesterday.
And then we have Annafi Wahed: "Can we stop being such jerks?" he says as he preaches to all his fellow "liberals" who just happen to regularly and religiously read the Wall Street Journal. Well, I reckon we can stop, Annafi mate, but I think your being stuck into jerkdom is a lifetime sentence.
