| Rathergate Report: Worse Than You Thought »
January 13, 2005
Liberal "Rush Limbaugh" Took Armstrong Williams Style PayoffThis doesn't excuse the egregious journalistic sin of Armstrong Williams, of course. The poor man has basically thrown his career away, and he'll likely never work in the media again (at least not much, and never again prominently). And that's probably well-deserved, alas. But it is always interesting to note how the legacy media is supremely interested in conservative scandals. In similar liberal scandals-- not so much: News that radio host/columnist Armstrong Williams was on the Bush administration payroll had liberals and even a few conservatives outraged last week, with critics saying there's no way they can trust that the pro-Republican commentator's comments hadn't been bought and paid for. Oh, well, it was "written" in their "agreement." Case closed. I'm just hearing about this now, of course. I wonder why. And I don't wonder at all why this will be the last time I hear about this. Question: Will Oliver Willis accuse Schultz of "shucking and jiving" at the behest of "massively-funded organizations"? (See the comments for his quote, and my rebuttal.) posted by Ace at 01:39 PM
CommentsLOL. Oliver Walrus used the phrase "shucking and jiving". Is it just me, or does he become more and more like Rerun from "What's Happening?" every day? Posted by: senator philabuster on January 13, 2005 02:01 PM
There's a liberal Rush Limbaugh? News to me. Posted by: zetetic on January 13, 2005 02:03 PM
Donor money is one thing; taxpayer money is another. Posted by: Stumbo on January 13, 2005 02:52 PM
Exactly Stumbo. While I don't back up Schultz entirely because I don't agree with payola philosophically. But there is a line drawn somewhere. Armstrong is clearly on the wrong side of it....Schultz is basically on it. Also, if its an "egregious journalistic sin" for Armstrong to do this, what is the name of sin commited by the administration? Posted by: Ryan on January 13, 2005 03:26 PM
'Ed Schultz - the much celebrated "liberal Rush Limbaugh"' Celebrated? By Whom? Never heard of the jerk. Posted by: on January 13, 2005 03:32 PM
Sorry, meant to sign the previous, but got ahead of myself. Posted by: Len - KC on January 13, 2005 03:34 PM
When it was revealed that PBS reporters were married to top Democratic officials back in the 90's nothing happened and nothing changed. The Liberal Media is impervious to change unless a boycott appears to be a likely possibility, as in Rathergate. THE RIGHT MUST BOYCOTT!!! Posted by: 72VIRGINS on January 13, 2005 04:30 PM
"what is the name of sin commited by the administration?" Winning. Posted by: Iblis on January 13, 2005 04:31 PM
"'what is the name of sin committed by the administration?' Winning." HA hah! Posted by: Nelson Muntz on January 13, 2005 05:21 PM
When the truth is too ugly to admit, make a joke. Posted by: Ryan on January 13, 2005 05:30 PM
I was also wondering when we would hear more about Donna Shelela's $700K "education grant" to the National Organization Of Women when they were about to go bankrupt (The New Thought Police, Tammy Bruce) That was about the time I was wondering why NOW was so quiet about that whole "intern in the oval office" thing? The same time I was wondering if things would be different if B Clinton were president of Exxon or something? Theae are wonder-full times, are they not

I'm sorry to say this so bluntly, but the Armstrong Williams/Ed Schultz scandals on the one hand, and the Rather "Memogate" scandal on the other, simply illustrate the difference between whores and sluts: Whores like Williams and Schultz get paid for their work. Dan Rather, on the other hand, gave it away for free. Good riddance to all of them. Posted by: Wes Seaton on January 13, 2005 11:32 PM
Apparently two more journalistic prostitutes have been unmasked, this time in the blogosphere. The "Little Green Footballs" blog of Rathergate fame is running a story, based on a piece slated to appear in tomorrow's Wall Street Journal, that Howard Dean paid the owners of "MyDD" and "DailyKos" to push his failed presidential campaign. Link over there and check it out. Posted by: Wes Seaton on January 14, 2005 12:31 AM
Schultz was on Hannity & Colmes today further denying his ties to the Dems. Typical hypocrisy of the left. Posted by: Slowking Man on January 14, 2005 03:25 AM

Brown killer takes the coward's way out. Naturally.
Still not identified, for some reason. Per Fox 25 Boston, the killer was a non-citizen permanent legal resident It continues to be strange that the police are so protective of his identity.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.) Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right. As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller." She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2: Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Do I ever! It's all I remember! Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations. I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said. She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Gee I wonder why Walz allowed Somali pirates to steal 1 billion in American dollars... could it possibly be that criminal illegal aliens are voting in elections and the Democrats know it and play to that illegal constituency?
Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
