Partisan Political Operatives Assail My Reporting

An unimpeachable source informed me that Terry McAuliffe used the term "sugarcoated" before the 60 Minutes report on the Bush forgeries ran.

Now, partisan political operatives are claiming that McAuliffe's "sugarcoat" reference occurred in an email issued shortly after the program began running.

I have full confidence in my original reportage. The preponderance of the evidence suggests strongly that Terry McAuliffe did use the term hours before the 60 Minutes presentation of the forgeries; I have spoken to several time-displacement experts I found in a Star Trek chat site who assure me that most likely McAuliffe's email was written at 11:00AM but then slipped through a time-displacement vortex and only posted at 8:00PM.

When I am presented with definitive evidence that my reportage was wrong, I will issue a retraction. As you all know, if I was indeed wrong, I would like to break that story.

Until then, the original story remains accurate if not authentic.

As a partisan political operative who has always thought you were full of shit, I have to say I'm pleased.

Once I heard they were paying you seven million charity dolalrs a year and jetting you around to nap through exposes gnawing on a favorite drool bib, I knew your time was short.

Feel the irresistable partisan force of CONFLICTING ACCOUNTS!!

Courage Ace.

Ace... Let me help you out.. I just found this stuck to the bottom of a jumbo popcorn bucket in Michael Moore's private landfill. And let me tell you, it wasn't stuck there with butter or gum. The things I do for this documentary...

attn: Michael Moore 4:20 a.m. 9/8/04
subject: Killian "memos"

Mikey! They are ready for primetime! I had to trash the ones you sent back to me because they smelled of rancid bacon and had a fine krispy kreme glaze on them. hehe... you could say they were even "sugarcoated", big guy! Not that I mind, but you know how sensitive Lady M is to pork, and I am partial to my head (and I know you are too!) so I ran off some new copies.

Anyhoo, "Kenneth" is running the story this evening. Take a couple of nitro pills before you watch. I know how excited you get watching "Kenneth", and we can't afford to lose you at this point in the game.

yours always,

Terrance

The fact that your source originally signed its e-mail as "Your Supermodel Svelte Bestest Best Friend, Oliver W." should have been, in retrospect, a dead giveaway that something wasn't quite kosher... :)

Posted by: Kent on September 24, 2004 06:14 AM

they retracted this on The Corner and The Kerry Spot. K-lo said the dates were not verified prior to running the story. heh. They did retract it immediately and over and over, much in contrast to the Sauronic Big Eye.

Screw em. Tell Oliver Willis that as soon as he publishes a denouncement of the DNC's collusion with CBS, Burkett, and their pet 527's on their TANG/Fortunate Son campaign as a coordinated slime effort, you will drop the "McCauliffe Knew" meme. Untill then, let him twist!

Speaking of Star Trek, doesn't that picture of Lockhart over on your sidebar look like he's skipped the skinny, handsome Shatner-as-Kirk phase, and gone directly to the bloated, has-been Priceline Spokesman phase?

Posted by: Alan S. on September 24, 2004 11:46 AM

Joe Lockhart was once handsome?

Are you both gay and without any minimum standards whatsoever?

Posted by: ace on September 24, 2004 11:52 AM

As I noted in the comments to your previous post, 'sugarcoat' is now being used across the board by the msm and the donks. Full-court press, try to drive it home, baby. MSNBC, the other night with Bill Richards on Fox, etc etc...

Posted by: Uncle Jefe on September 24, 2004 12:32 PM

Alan S.,

By the way, I was only kidding. Read my comment with a (g), if you would be so kind.

But seriously-- Joe Lockhart, handsome?

I think you're only the second person to say he was handsome, after his Mama.

Posted by: ace on September 24, 2004 12:51 PM

Point taken about the expanding Shatnergut, however.

But Shatner's always been able to pull that off, because he's The Captain and always will be.

Joe Lockhart, on the other hand, is a dolt of a punching bag who makes Dee Dee Myers look like an accomplished advocate.

Posted by: ace on September 24, 2004 12:52 PM

Jeez, ace, I thought I was pretty clear that he skipped the handsome phase. To me, he looks exactly like Shatner in that commercial where Nimoy's in his hotel room.

"Oh, hi Bill. Thought it was room service."

P.S. Please don't tell my wife I'm secretly gay, or have no minimum standards.

Here, I'll prove my point. I've got no place to host this image, so go here:

Freeze the video at 23 seconds in, and tell me that's not the same guy.

Move-on concedes Lockhartgate.

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too.
I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.

1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show.
She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
