I would be very surprised if Pitt makes any comment about this at all. Pitt has been in deep denial mode for the past couple of years. I guess he thinks if he drinks enough, he will go into a deep coma and then wake up to find that this was all a bad dream. BTW, any theories out there as to why he is suddenly promoting Chris Dodd as Obama's veep?

Since I haven’t visited TruthOut since 2006 when all this shook out, Just what has Jason Leopold been doing there since then to justify his existence?

[Arrowhead1952]

Top 10 - now back to read.

[Arrowhead1952]

At the time of our reporting on the Rove matter we stood by the factual accuracy of our reports, and we stand by them now.

Is that you Dan Ra^THer???

BREAKING: Jason Leopold No Longer Employed By Truthout

THE DAY WHEN EVERYTHING FINALLY CHANGED!

[Charles Henrickson]

Letter from Marc Ash Executive Director
To Our Readership and Friends,
Jason Leopold is no longer employed by Truthout.

Down the Ash hole with him!

[Charles Henrickson]

There may be some speculation that this announcement is connected in some way to Truthout's reporting of the Karl Rove indictment matter. It is not.

There WAS NO "Karl Rove indictment matter" to report! So in that sense, I guess, you could say it was not connected to . . . something that didn't exist.

[Charles Henrickson]

At the time of our reporting on the Rove matter we stood by the factual accuracy of our reports, and we stand by them now.

"Stand by your mania. . . ."

[Charles Henrickson]

At the time of our reporting on the Rove matter we stood by the factual accuracy of our reports, and we stand by them now.

"Standing by" or "standing down"?

Standing Down on the Rove Matter

DUmmie FUnnies 06-15-06 (Truthout is "Standing Down on the Rove Matter")

[Charles Henrickson]

We sincerely wish Jason the best of luck.

Rotsa ruck, Jay!

[Charles Henrickson]

We'll know more in 24 business hours

THE TWENTY-FOUR (BUSINESS) HOURS OF FITZMAS
Tune: "The Twelve Days of Christmas"

On the twenty-fourth hour of Fitzmas
My truthout gave to me:
Twenty-four bonus hours
Twenty-three bogus sources
Twenty-two sealed indictments
Twenty-one new excitements
Twenty Leopolds leaping
Nineteen FReepers freeping
Eighteen crowded dockets
Seventeen Sonny Crocketts
Sixteen corks a-popping
Fifteen-hour meeting
Fourteen Freudenschades
Thirteen Pipers piping
Twelve DUmmies griping
Eleven Roves a-packing
Ten dollars lacking
Nine shots at Skinner
Eight crows for dinner
Seven crews amassing
Six days a-passing
Five LOUSY TROLLS!
Four Patton Boggs
Three fresh blogs
Two marching frogs
And a Pitt ribbed in a parody!

[Charles Henrickson]

I have a feeling that William Rivers Pitt may know more and will hopefully post. . . .

Don't hold your breath.

Jason's about to start singing the blues. . . .

BLUE FITZMAS
Tune: "Blue Christmas"
By Jason Leopold

I'll have a blue Fitzmas without news
I've got those Blew It Bigtime Truthout Blues
No indictments were read on that day back in May
Don't be dismayed, friends, it's just a slight delay

And when those cruel DUmmies start tauntin'
That's when those blue mem'ries start hauntin'
All DU may delight, with their critics so bright
But I'll have a blue, blue Fitzmas

I'll have a blue Fitzmas, that's no sh*t
When I could use backup, there's no Pitt
Former readers can turn and go on the attack
Don't look for help, though, if Will Pitt's got your back

And when those cruel DUmmies start tauntin'
That's when those blue mem'ries start hauntin'
All DU may delight, with their critics so bright
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Fitzmas

" We'll know more in 24 business hours"

Proving that at least one DUmmie has a sense of humor (or irony)...
