Glenn Greenwald has two long posts up about serious pundits (Joe Klein in particular) that I have condensed for you, my special readers.
“Sometimes I just make shit up on the spot. Holding me at my word when I do that is not fair.”
Don’t forget to hit the tip jar for these valuable services I provide.

Short on cash, are you? Perhaps you got hit in the stock market plunge today? I considered contributing at one point, and then decided against it. You may be someone I appreciate reading and watching as he transitions from Repub to something else; but you’re demeanor sucks and I’m not giving you a dime until that changes, sorry.

It’s alot harder to write columns when all your material is stuffed up your own ass.

It often boggles my mind how different are the worlds Joe Klein and I inhabit.
My wake-up call was the Richard Clarke testimony before the 911 committee. I watched the whole thing, and was struck by how profound the damning evidence was. I expected the whole nation to wake up and slam the neo-con evil-doers.
Then I watched the MSM afterwards to see how they were going to break this most important story, and learned that Clarke was a DirtyFuckingHippy(tm) trying to hawk a book and therefore not to be taken seriously.
It was like I was watching some kind of alternate reality.
Thats where Joe Klein lives.

Pay no attention to what I said, pay attention to what I say about what I … er … said. Seriously.

Yes, exactly. To Jokeline, reality is only of value if you can sell it for money. If not, sell what you got.

Greenwald:
I propose a new term:
kleinilepsy (n). A pathological state which forces one to repeatedly, fervently argue something that, with long reflection and the wisdom of hindsight, proves to be idiotic.

That’s part of his charm, though! This blog would be but a hollow shell without John and his cantankerous, ex-tank-driving, wine-loving, cat-spoiling (but not cat-blogging…what the hell is up with that, anyway?), Hola Fruta-snarfing self. If John were always cheerful, this blog would be…blah.

Will likely join the Friedman Unit (F.U.) as a new term in blogging…
