Mapes: 'Ha-Ha: Right-Wing Bloggers Don't Matter Any More'

NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Mary Mapes is in gloat over-drive. Dan Rather's erstwhile producer, the woman behind Memogate, is beside herself with joy at what she sees as the impending death of the conservative blogosphere.

It's her expectation that Barack Obama will win the presidency that has Mapes so hopeful. Annotated excerpts from her HuffPo column, The Monster is Dying [emphasis added]:

* This whole thing is starting to feel a lot like the climactic death scene at the end of a 1950s monster movie. * Palin actually resembles that old monster movie staple -- the beautiful-but-bookish brunette working as a lab assistant for the older scientist whose irresponsible experiments lead to tragedy.

Gee, with one or two emendations, couldn't that be a description of . . . Mapes herself?

Mary Mapes in schadenfreude mode anticipating death of FR and conservative blogosphere ping to Today show list.

[icwhatudo]

This place was born thanks to klinton. If Obama wins we will only become stronger.

[ncfool]

Blogger’s will beat Barack Hussein!

[mewzilla]

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt...

[Charles Henrickson]

Mapes.

[FlipWilson]

No, we will have to go undergound. These people are marxists and marxists tolerate NO dissent.

[napscoordinator]

My gosh where do these people get these descriptions and “fantasies”. I mean that is not even intelligent to come up with some 1950 movie with the disgusting descriptions of McCain and Palin. I think this is worse than some of the stuff they have called Palin. This is so low that I am stunned.

[silverleaf]

but “the monster” got her before we “died” ... didn’t we?

ha ha

[junta]

Hardly, the right wing blogsphere will grow in such proportions in the near term after the election that Mapes won’t know what happened to her fantasy views.

[Mac from Cleveland]

OK, that’s enough Mary, Back to work.

As, I was saying, I’ll have a Whopper with cheese, fries and a medium Coke.

And tell Rather in the back there to make sure the fries are hot this time.

[TommyDale]

And where does Mary “Fake but accurate” Mapes work today?

[TexasCajun]

Where is Mary Today??

She isn't in Hawaii today by chance is she?

Her experiece with forged documents could come in handy today for Senator Obamah!

[dragonblustar]

Someone had to dig this hag up before Halloween.

Fake but Accurate is now copyrighted by CBS News.

[OpusatFR]

She’s wrong. I see the leftwing politico sights and lefty bloggers dropping out in droves. One well known lefty site is up for sale now.

Most of those sites began in 2001 to counter the right.

They think they’ve won.

Conservatives will get stronger.

[JoJo Gunn]

[padre35]

The more you keep us down the more we press on.

Mapes....washed up never was, I doubt she would be allowed access to the Obamao’s premature ejaculation in Chicago on the 4th...

[SolidWood]

We’ll have to relocate FR. The Democrap Govt (Pelosi, Reid and Obomba) will implement their Fairness Doctrine on the Internet as well. Freeping will be a hate crime.

[y6162]

“..Free Republic and Little Green Footballs forced onto the sidelines, left to limply watch this campaign pass by like a parade in which they play no meaningful part”

Hey ..I ain’t limply anything!

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

If Obama is elected we go on red alert and mobilize for action. What’s this broad talking about?

[Billthedrill]

Mary forgot where we came from and why. Way back when the MSM used to be deceitful, manipulative, and disgusting, but they’re all better now, right? Yeah. I don’t think so.

[Albion Wilde]

She lost her job due to her lies, but the AcornObanuts are cheating with impunity and getting away with it, so she feels discriminated against.

Waaaaaahhhhhh!

[metesky]

[Anti-Bubba182]

Schadenfreude in an Obama victory, if it happens, won’t restore her job or credibility. McCain was never popular at FR. He is a lesser of two evils choice.

[aNYCguy]

I see Mapes isn’t the only one in b-movie fantasyland.

[Bobkk47]

Mapes may very well have that smirk wiped off her ugly mug come Nov. 5th.

[yldstrk]

What a dimwit

[DoughtyOne]

What a self absorbed twit.  Whether McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden win, right wing
forum participants will have plenty to say, and plenty of people seeking truth who
read their comments.  Very few movements in history have lost no battles.  If we
lose this one, we come back stronger next time.  Bring it on Mapes.

BTW: Mapes, you're going to be very unhappy on November the 5th, 2008.


   
   Out of the mist they come, the Final 300...

    We were a little over $3,000.00 from this quarter's
    FReepathon goal this morning.  It would only take
    300 of us to donate $10.00 to put us over the top. 
    Would some of you like to be a part of the Final 300?

    Let's end this FReepathon today.

[rlferny]

what about the monster of Communism that has killed MILLIONS.

That they ignore.

[Albion Wilde]

Cayman Islands. Or, a boat on international waters. Hell, we’ve taken the place of VOA.

[freekitty]

Hate to tell this jerk; but what goes around comes around.

She’s already lost once because of her lying. Why does she want to try for a second?

[Ben Chad]

Still GUILTY as hell.

[theDentist]

..beside herself with joy at what she sees as the impending death of the conservative blogosphere.

Impending death? Here's to your ignorance, Mary. It's almost as great as that foot in your mouth.

An Obama Presidency will only breathe new life into Conservatism, in blogs, outside the beltway, and (best of all) within the Republican Party/RNC itself. It was primarily the Party that has doused water on the conservative flame. But we're about to erupt from a glowing faint ember into a f****** 5 alarm fire. And the RNC party hacks will be the first to get burned. They'll jump from the ship *(buying us bouyancy), and we will get under way again. Mark my words.

[GVnana]

Funny stuff coming from a liar, forger, and plagiarist.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I thought Mary Mapes was dead....go figure.

[ejonesie22]

No, just her career...

[relictele]

Sad, sex-deprived harpy.

Delusional self-pity and self-justification do not a career make.

[Mac from Cleveland]

I thought Mary Mapes was dead....go figure

Nope, she just looks that way.

[NoobRep]

Mary Mapes is so ugly she could make a freight train take a dirt road.

[Jeff Gordon]

I loved reading those excerpts from Mape’s book where she tells just how distressed she was her 60 Minutes fiction fell flat on it’s face. She went from pure joy over sticking it to Bush to pure terror at being found out. I am so pleased that she told us how she felt so we could gloat.

[anonsquared]

It’s HAVE FUN WITH MARY DAY!

Go to Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Truth-Duty-Press-President-Privilege/dp/0312354118/

and review her book. Right now there are 66 reviews split down the line giving her a 3 star rating. Let’s see if we can make that 1 star by the end of the day.

Then why do the major newspapers plagiarize our comments??? I've seen that happen more than once.

[Right Wing Assault]

At first I thought she was talking about the NY Times are the TV network news.

[Right Wing Assault]

[This Just In]

“Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt...”

And a boil ain’t just a cooking term.

[WVNan]

The comments on the original article are scary. They wonder where the 48% of conservatives are coming from. What ARE we thinking? How stupid can we be not to see that the "one' is a centrist?

I wonder where those people get their news. Oh wait....the MSM.

[ejonesie22]

Bingo, they make flaming lib look just perfectly normal.

[lowbridge]

I thought Mary Mapes was dead

Nah, she's pining for the fjords.
