A couple pieces From Wonkette, but, please, read the whole thing HERE:
It’s based on this sentence in a morning AP report about the new Jan. 6 Fox News Presidential Forum for Republicans: “Participating in the forum will be Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson.” Any batshit crazy candidates missing from that roster? Mmhmm. The Paultards are livid, so livid that it seems the official campaign is trying to shut them up via Daily Paul.
Uh, oh.
A Paultard leader on Daily Paul claims to have spoken to the campaign chairman to get the skinny on the Forum. It’s nice to know that this grand poombah Paultard can write professionally. Or not:
I just spoke to KENT SNYDER the Campaign’s CHAIRMAN, and top person in Virginia, on the phone…. The AP article DID NOT SAY IN THEIR PIECE ANYTHING about ‘excluding’ anyone, but two bloggers on the web interpreted it that way. These two bloggers were not our friends and simply wished it were so, and thus wrote that ‘opinion’ based on the AP article that listed who WAS coming.
And, here is my favorite part:
Also, if any of you got email from a “John Swallow”, he is a volunteer and was likely repeating what he’d also read on the internet. HE DID NOT GET THAT FROM OFFICIAL – not Kent, Lew or anyone. Did it say anything about ‘staffer X just told me’ or the like? NO. It was a poorly written and very unprofessional email by the way, and offered NOTHING to substantiate his claim.
Anyone think that might be our Johnny Swallows?
Just my 2 cents.
The Wonkette is not a political blog .. It a satire blog like the onion but with a “National Enquirer” kind of angle.
Even Google labels it satire. So take anything from the Wonkette with a “HUGE” grain of salt.
See, Satire is usually fiction. What Wonkette does is take news and make fun of all the parts of it, regardless of party.
Fiction can’t have real references, see? So, I read the funny on Wonkette from time to time and then I click through to their sources and read the real part.
So, yeah, no shit. Grain of salt is fine, but, if you read through their source material, not fake.
Hilarious.
