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.

Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed
I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.
