The Jeff Gannon of the Left?

We all know now that our Fearless Leader, Jeff Gannon, may have done some shady things in the past. (Amish kept insisting that Gannon's innocent explanations were shaky, which I argued with him about... for one of the few times, I suspended my rule that "all rumors are probably true" and wound up looking foolish for it.)

But you tell me what's worse-- maybe at one time having been a gay escort, or dressing up your little dog like this?:

According to Wonkette, who was even more missing-in-action at CPAC than I was, that's Joshua Micah Mellancamp Boutros-Boutros Marshall's dog.

So, since we've started down this road--

How do liberal politicians justify talking with and tipping off a "journalist" who dresses his dog up like a gay French sailor?

Aren't they concerned about the obvious security risks?

That French-looking pooch looks a lot like a certain politician's Swiftboat mascot, VC the Cambodian Wonder Dog.

Words fail me.

I don't know which is worse-- the fact that he dresses his dog like a gay French sailor, or that he owns a dog that looks like that.

Wow. Who needs parody when this stuff writes itself?

From now on, you don't even need to mention Marshall's (multiple) name(s). Just post a picture of the freakin' dog.

It's a new icon. Ace, if you can't make comedic gold out of this, you might as well retire the site.

Oh, I intend to... just trying to figure out what to do with it.

Now, were Slublog to come along and put that dog into the Death Card instead of Jeff Gannon, we'd be cookin' with gas...

This is as funny as when I learned Teddy Kennedy's dogs name is SPLASH!

Posted by: ordi on February 21, 2005 01:57 AM

Hey, no fair picking on the dog. He HAS to dress like that for his job.
As a mime referee.

Posted by: lauraw on February 21, 2005 09:38 AM

Yeah, lay off the dog. One of the best dogs I ever knew was a cockerpoo.

And I'd never have dressed him to look like that. I had too much respect for the dog.

Did you just say "gay French sailor"? Am I the only one who sees a problem with that phrase?

Posted by: Sobek on February 21, 2005 12:01 PM

The Hero of Chappaquidick named his dog Splash? Hard to believe he could be so stupid or so drunk ... what am I saying?

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on February 21, 2005 12:07 PM

What to do with that picture, ace?

easy: evey time you reference joshy boutrousboutros takahashi mellencapm marshall, just put that pic in like a cowbell.

In fact, maybe you should make it the "stupid leftist twit" cowbell.

every time some idiot like Marshall or kos or any of those rejects comes out with some criticism, complaint or outrageous statement that is either topical or picked up by the MSM, just run the little gay doggie pic.

Good lord, why are libs so gay?

Dennis The Peasant blogged about this back on Feb 16. Dennis has done a brutal job on Marshall lately. Check him out.

I suggest that every time the Lefty bloggers show their hypocrisy by complaining about something that they would complain just as loudly about the opposite as in: "OMG they let a Gay Escort into a press briefing" vs "OMG they stopped a Gay reporter from going to a press briefing" or "The President said 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas' he's out of touch" vs "Bush said 'Merry Christmas' - THEOCRACY!" - we just respond by saying "Guckert". A secondary definition could be "PIG IN A POKE" unless of course any of those lefty bloggers were ever his clients when he was a Gay Escort then it would be "A POKE IN A...." well you get the idea. Sorry I couldn't resist.

Posted by: Mark on February 21, 2005 03:37 PM

Leave it to the left, to do such dishonor to a pooch.
As for Gay's, I have known a few in my day, but most of them just want to live their life quitely and with out fan fare.
But leave it to the left to make issues about things that even gay's are embarassed about.....

Posted by: IKW3804 on February 21, 2005 03:51 PM

Why does anyone link to Wonkette. What a filthy mouth.

Posted by: Cliff Autry on February 21, 2005 05:19 PM

Now I gotta link to Wonkette. Spank me.

That's what we need. Triumph the wonder dog mounting Dominique the gay leftist dog. It could be made into one of those PSA's that are supposed to teach school kids about gay love.

Posted by: papertiger on February 22, 2005 01:23 AM

I actually saw a... gaggle of French sailors in Oahu/Waikiki. Their ship was in port and we saw them on the tour and again that evening in town.

Yeah, "gay French sailor" just about covers it. That poofball beret would just be cruel on a dog anyway.

Posted by: Joe Ego on February 23, 2005 04:35 AM

Please, for the last time - it's Joshua Micah HEINZ kerry HEINZ Marshall, at least until I re-list him on eBay (with the dog).

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
