Those Other Dwarfs Are Making Me Look Bad

{ Dont' hate me for this, but this is honestly the funniest thing I have read to date, these people are truely delusional)
And did DK really say that?


"When Gore claimed that his marriage was the inspiration for the movie, "Love Story," or when he claimed to have invented the internet, Lieberman had to spend every interview and campaign event for months afterward explaining why his running mate seemed so delusional. The pressure must have been immense."

1. No, it's not true
http://www.dailyhowler.com/h120699_1.shtml

Basically, much like the internet BS, it was a misquote, and a twisting of his words.

Also much like the internet quote, there was some truth to the story as well. (in that one of the main characters was partially based on Gore)

3. Of Course, no one ever accused the GOP of using facts but it doesnt
take away from the fact that they are still certifably disturbed.

2. Lots of cherry picking by the author
but given the other highlighted columns: The Natural Gas Crisis: Greens Engineer another Disaster ; Ten Reasons to Defend Marriage ; The Rise Of Young Conservatives ; and - Rapes, Murders, Drugs And More In National Parks .

I guess it isn't much of a surprise. Take a look at that last one - have to wonder what the point is - rationalization for... well if they are so bad and unsafe why do we have them (and pay for them) in the first place?

Of course the links are a treasure trove as well.

Ah well.

I would have to wonder what it was that Kucinich sponsored to determine how it was twisted - this guy isn't doing objective journalism after all. Its not his audience (objective readers).

6. Cox is "laugh out loud funny"
He says so himself!

snip:

Judson Cox is a political columnist from the mountains of North Carolina. He is quickly gaining recognition as one of the most popular and influential voices of his generation. As a college student, and a young entrepreneur, he has a unique perspective on matters of politics, economics and culture.

His fiercely independent style and pugilistic wit make for a column that is always entertaining, often inspiring and frequently "laugh out loud" funny. With a humor akin to P.J. O'Rourke and Dave Barry, and a plain spoken southern wisdom that matches Charlie Daniels, his confrontational style lies somewhere between Ann Coulter and Merle Haggard.
