Dean Campaign Paid Off "Daily Kos" and "My DD"

Sigh.

What I wouldn't give for a contested Republican primary.

You want the crazy blog-money, you'd better be prepared to suck a little politico cock.

I have no idea why I'd think this, but I always figured "Zephyr Teachout" was a man.

I mean, c'mon. Who names their little girl "Zephyr"?

"My, doesn't she look like a small tornado!"

Ace, I'll send you a coupon for a Starbucks coffee if you post something positive Red Sox. Hey, its not Armstrongs Williams money but its a start.

Dammit Ace. You want crazy blog money? I've been waiting for a "Ace of Spades HQ.com" T-shirt to buy. Hell, I'd buy three. I can't be the only one. What say people?

Posted by: blakjack on January 14, 2005 01:22 PM

Allah might have an idea who NOT to deal with...

Posted by: hobgoblin on January 14, 2005 01:23 PM

Contested Republican primary.... or drudge link?

Posted by: fat kid on January 14, 2005 01:26 PM

Blackjack,

I keep wanting to do the t-shirt thing. I've played with the idea and stuff. I'll look into it again.

Posted by: ace on January 14, 2005 01:27 PM

"Ms. Teachout said the campaign never explicitly asked the bloggers to promote Mr. Dean. But she said the Dean campaign wanted to keep them from shifting to rivals."

Seems to me that cutting a check every month constitutes explict asking to me. In other terms.

I never specifically asked that hooker to have sex with me, I just wanted to make sure she didn't shift to another John.

For full disclosure I suppose I should mention that I'm an asshole who hates Kos with a passion and fury. I should probably also disclose that I have fantasies including Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, myself, and a whipped cream factory. Then again, after that restraining order, maybe I shouldn't.

Posted by: Dave on January 14, 2005 01:28 PM

The great Allah may be right. I'd almost bet money that Jerome and Markos both sucked a little, and probably before they started getting the cash. Maybe it was even politicos, who knows? I have a don't ask, don't tell policy when it comes to the sex life of liberals. I sleep better at night not knowing.

Posted by: Bullwinkle on January 14, 2005 01:48 PM

Jeez Dave, you too?

Posted by: Master of None on January 14, 2005 01:49 PM

If the t-shirt had a skull and crossbones, and the Mencken quote, hell yeah I'd buy one.

How about this - little skull and crossbones on the front right. BIG quote on the back, with your URL underneath? It would be cool. Nice gray t-shirt with black lettering...

Posted by: Slubgob on January 14, 2005 02:00 PM

Well, right now I'm thinking of using the death-card logo rather than the skull and crossbones.

But other than that, that's what I'm envisioning. I haven't done it yet because none of the online t-shirt vendors seem to offer a darker-gray t-shirt. They offer "ash gray," which just looks like a dirty white t-shirt, and pretty much sucks.

Posted by: ace on January 14, 2005 02:04 PM

I like the death-card idea, heck maybe the whole banner. Ol' what's-his-skull at IMAO seems to have a deal with thoseshirts.com. They look high quality.

Posted by: blakjack on January 14, 2005 02:24 PM

Do these libral 'thinkers' ever look into the fucking mirror?

or is it "now do what I say, not do what I do."

And just how many platimun pieces did Gary Gygax roll your way, Ace?

Posted by: Brian on January 14, 2005 08:46 PM

How dare you, Sir.

I have clearly announced that I have served as a "technical advisor" to Mr. Gary Gygax any number of times. This association does not in any way compromise my independence regarding the wonderful games and "modules" created by Mr. Gary Gygax.

I believed the "Against the Giants/Against the Drow/Queen of the Demonweb Pits" was head-and-shoulders the greatest epic adventure ever written long before Mr. Gary Gygax began paying me (in graph paper) to advise him.

How dare you impugn my integrity. Have you no decency, Sir?

Sometimes the best stuff gets buried in the comments.

Hobgoblin, if you ever read this, please get in touch, need your opinion on something.

First, you forget to mention that the website contained a disclaimer, openly stating the situtuation.

Secondly, you also didn't mention that the WSJ misquoted a Dean campaign higher-up regarding the situation. Or the fact that the editorial writer at the WSJ is soon going to be a speechwriter for Bush -- no conflict of interest there.

Third, the statement was later recanted by Ms. Teachout.

Finally, Williams was paid taxpayer money, in clear violation of Federal Law.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens

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.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

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.
