Ace,
please continue posting on Rathergate...

rathergate:me::
cheesedanish: al gore

actually, i am sick and frickin' tired of it. I mean really can't we talk about something more interesting, like ME!!!!!

Signed:
John Kerry

Ace, keep going. You're right, this story is huge. It not only effects the election, but it goes after the msm. I'm thrilled with all of you - you, Allah, LGF, INDC, Powerline, all of you!

The only suggestion I'd make in that regard is nothing more about fonts and that sort of thing, unless some refutation begins. Otherwise, that issue has been decided as far as I'm concerned. More of it will yield little light.

I don't even think any more evidence otherwise is needed that the memos are forgeries either. Not unless it's a bombshell.

The fertile ground is taking down CBS/Rather (e.g., what's going on inside the besieged network tower?) and finding out where the memos came from.

Also, did you take the "recent comments" off for a reason? I miss that because when I came here and you hadn't posted anything new I could still see where action is occurring. On some sites I don't care about the comments, but your site has exceptionally funny supporters even.

Who told you that you were the only important guy on this stage? Joe?

Yeah, but are you meeting any GIRLS?

Nick, I took off comments because I got blitzed by dozens of breast enhancement spam comments. I want to put them back up, but I have to first find the code again.

JimO,

Nope.

You can stop talking about it when Dan Rather commits seppuku on national television right after he admits that he was running off copies of these fakes with John Kerry.

Then you can talk about that.

NK, in a forum down below Ace said he got too many spams in the recent comments section, so he turned it off. I really liked that feature too, and was willing to ignore the spams, and I agree that this is one of very very few sites where the posts are actually worth reading.

But if it's a tradeoff between Ace posting more good stuff v. Ace taking time to police the spammers, well, there's an easy one.

Doh. Post overlap.

Ace, you don't need to meet any girls. They'll just distract you from your calling in life, which, right now, is bringing us Rather's metaphorical head on a very funny silver charger.

And none of this blogging in your pajamas. The guys get shirts!

if someone can point me in the direction of the moveable type code for this feature, I'll gladly put it back up.

Ace:

Don't worry. The. story. is. huge.

Where, oh where, is Johnny Coldcuts when you need him? I imagine he has some thoughts on this subject that would be interesting.

C'mon ace, admit it.

You could have just written # 6 over and over and over.

Rathergate should move you into the large mammal category, I think.

Still, you're doing good work here. Allah's a little too standoffish on this (for good reason, he's being cited as a semi-mainstream source). We need our red-meat from somewhere . . .

I beg you not to diminish your commentary on this most excellent story. It is loved by many and we need our fixes. And I LOVE the eye of Sauron pic. That frikkin' rules!!

Seriously, keep being obsessed. You're one of three blogs I'm checking regularly for updates. I'll kick yer ass if you get bored with Rathergate.

RE: that story about Sarkozy being an American bitch - they story is full of crap, and I sincerely believe the WaTi journalist made it up. Sarkozy is the archtype of a statist, Eutopian, triangulating politician, i.e. a typical French politician. Don't bet your grandpa's old socks on this guy.

Rathergate should move you into the large mammal category, I think.

You mean playful primate (I've been an LM for monhts), but yeah, I've got my fingers crossed.

Trouble is, so many links are just garnered from the past week, and once they pass from the front page, I lose them, then drop back down.

I am absolutely loving this. I have never been so enthusiastic about a news story in my life.

Pajamagate - a made for TV mini-series coming to CBS this fall.

The Contra Costa Times did a piece yesterday on the "allegedly forged documents." Today they had a happy little editorial in the Datebook section (beside the bit about some fellow with Lou Gherig's Disease) where they claimed is has yet to be determined whether there are significant gaps in the 60 Minutes story. Basically they blew it off.

Anyhow, if it wasn't for you and the other bloggers nobody would be the wiser. All of which is just meant to say keep at it.

I was actually hoping for a brief stint at large mammal for you. Guess you can't expect that Sullivan link, though, nor the Willis one, so that probably knocks you out of the running for large status.

But ace, you also assume that folks won't stick around and keep linking for your rapier like wit and incisive commentary.

Seriously, this is great exposure. Hope it lasts and makes you feel all happy (in a non-ghey way, of course).

You're right, it *is* huge.

This guy has been making up stories so long that he actually believes them.

I may spend my weekend sending email to CBS & its advertisers. (Or I might not.)

that first sentence was a joke, for those sarcasm-impaired friends.

I'd like to hear what Johnny Coldcuts has to say about all of this.

So, this Rathergate story...

is it Al Gore huge?

I'm kinda leaning towards: "6) I'm getting crazy-filthy-dirty traffic from it" ;)

NOT that there's anything wrong with that, you understand...

Keep it up Ace.

Jonah Goldberg nailed when he said he loved this story so much that if RatherGate were a chocolate sauce he would smear it all over his body and then playfully roll around in a pile of nougat.

I so totally understand where he's coming from.

...ummmm nougat.
