Free Republic

You can call it wishful thinking or positive reinforcement but William Rivers Pitt is using it in an attempt to miracle the Democrats to victory this November. Yeah, it must be KILLING the Pied Piper. The most important election of our lifetimes and all he can do is sit on the sidelines and suggest something like, "Every day, in every little way, we are getting better and better." Barack Obama and Joe Biden are both terrible candidates. Beyond that Hillary is working quietly behind the scenes to ensure an Obama loss in November. However, there is the Pied Piper...

ATTENTION ALL REPORTERS!!! Start checking your Blackberries! William Rivers Pitt has another news scoop! You should find out about it in 24 business hours. And the amazing scoop can be described in just one word according to Pitt: "Eagleton." Ironically, Pitt might finally get a scoop right but in the wrong way. The Pied Piper thinks this will apply to Sarah Palin being removed from the ticket but I happen to know that it will be Joe Biden who will be facing the same situation due to a certain piece of material out there that will surface soon...maybe in...

It wasn't supposed to be this way. Right now, William Rivers Pitt should be the life of the party at the Democrat convention in Denver. At least in his own mind. Yes, the William Rivers Pitt of his fervid imagination should now be holding court in Denver. Awestruck Democrats approaching his table at an expensive restaurant and shyly asking for his autograph. Prominent politicians walking up to the seated Pitt and whispering insider jokes into his ear as Pitt nods approvingly. Newscasters surrounding him asking for his views on the various speeches. Probably even sitting in on a panel...

Mama! Papa! Don't you know me? I'm your little Sonny Boy! Mama! Mama! Don't hide your face! Go ahead and look at my disgrace! Your little Sonny Boy is wasting away all his Trust Fund Money on drink! Oh Papa! Aren't you proud of your little Sonny Boy! I coulda been a player! If only...IF ONLY! If only Karl Rove had been indicted! If only what everybody had expected to happen had happened today your little Sonny Boy would have been the apple in your eye. A major media star who scooped everybody with the Rove indictment story. I...

MERRY FITZMAS!!! Today is the second anniversary of Karl Rove's indictment on May 12, 2006. This amazing journalistic scoop of a non-event was provided by that great investigative team of TruthOut fashion photographer, Marc Ash, deranged drug addict, Jason Leopold, and, of course, the Bostonian Drunkard himself, WILLIAM RIVERS PITT. So how to celebrate Fitzmas? Of course, Pied Piper Pitt himself continues to remain mum in his turtleshell, refusing to even acknowledge the reality of his self-humiliation that has turned him into a Web laughingstock. I could have just reprinted one of the many DUFU Fitzmas threads from 2006....

Now that the Democrat primary race seems to be over, Pied Piper Pitt has worked up the liquid courage to make a statement about the primary. Thus far, other than to angrily berate his fellow DUmmies for daring to suggest they might sit out the general election, Pitt has been MUM on the primary race raging around him. Of course, he did claim to be a strong Edwards supporter but only AFTER the Breck Girl was dropped out of the race so any endorsement would be completely safe to make. So now that the Democrat race seems to be...

Before we begin today's DUFU edition, an update from the Charles Henrickson vs Paul Shanklin battlefront. As pointed out in the previous DUmmie FUnnies EDITION, Charles posted a parody based on Ebony and Ivory about Obama and Hillary called Ebony and Ovary last Wednesday. Almost simultaneously on the air, Rush Limbaugh asked his parodist, Paul Shanklin, to come up with a parody song about Obama and Hillary based on Ebony and Ivory. The world now awaits the Paul Shanklin version to see how it compares to the Henrickson parody. Already Henrickson has scored some important points in the opening...

It's a sad day. One of the great journalistic giants of our time, Jason Leopold, is splitting the scene. According to an e-mail from former fashion photographer and now TruthOut publisher, Marc Ash, as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD, Jason Leopold has left his publication. In case you are unfamiliar with Leopold, he teamed up with TruthOut columnist William Rivers Pitt to promote the story about Karl Rove having already been indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald on May 12, 2006. The team of Leopold and Lib are still waiting for the magical 24 business hours to pass for...

(Just a few days now until the HISTORIC comedy webcast, NewsBusted, premiers at NewsBusters on September 12. I say historic because, in stark contrast to TV shows, this Webcast will be presented in short digestible chunks on a regular basis. It is our hope that you will become addicted to this show. Remember, the very LATEST current events will be the source for the comedy material. Be there. Aloha!) He just couldn't stay away for long. William Rivers Pitt QUIT DUmmieland in a speech full of self-Pittying angst only to return on Friday with an even longer speech with...

Yes, you read this DUFU title right. Pied Piper Pitt has QUIT DUmmieland...again. Pitt has gone down this trail before when he quit DUmmieland for supposedly a long time only to return about 5 (or was it 3) days later. However, this time I think the Magic Man means it and not just because he asked the DUmmie Administrators to "granite-cookie" him so he can never return as you can see in his farewell THREAD titled, "Hello, I must be going" going..." So why do I think Pitt is splitting for good this time? Several reasons. One big reason...

Go to the Wikipedia section titled JOURNALISTIC HOAXES and there, under the letter P, you will see the sole name of William Rivers Pitt in all its glory. Pitt earned this honor in Wikipedia because of his role in perpetuating the fraud that Karl Rove had been indicted on May 12, 2006. Since the 24 business hours has yet to pass, Pitt might still be proven right but it is not very likely. This is also the very same Pitt who was FIRED as Dennis Kucinich's press secretary in 2004 for sneaking secret campaign documents over to the Kerry...

I'm the place where celebrity worship goes to die. ---William Rivers Pitt It is just 24 business hours away from May 12 ---Pied Piper Pitt Day. Yes, I know there are at least a couple of other dates that could qualify as Pied Piper Pitt day such as June 16, the Day When Everything Finally Changed. That was the date in 2005 when William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt helped organized a rally in Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C. to protest about something to do with the now totally forgotten Downing Street Memos followed by a non-authorized Congressional hearing that...

You read that right. Pied Piper Pitt actually did invite Kevin Spacey quite urgently over to his apartment. Actually this story began two weeks ago as you can see in this Pitt THREAD when Kevin Spacey walked into Bukowski's and in the midst of a Pitt lecture about he wasn't awed by celebrity, he engaged in celebrity worship of the most blatant sort. In the second ENCOUNTER with Spacey in the same bar, Pitt dispensed with whatever fictitious non-chalance he pretended to have the first time and BEGGED Spacey to visit his simple abode. So let us now watch...

Liar William Rivers Pitt has come out of his self-imposed exile on the subject of Plamegate and has condemned Scooter Libby for supposedly lying. This is rich since the reason why Liar William Rivers Pitt went into exile on this topic is that he was caught LYING in a big way when he declared that Karl Rove had already been indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald last May 12. And this wasn't just some minor lie that slipped by. It was a HUGE lie. So huge that at a big Democrat meeting in Michigan, the attendees including Hillary Clinton, stood up...

Some are aware that William Pitt, self promoter extraordinaire and radical moonbat, has authored a new book. As one can expect of moonbats, the title of DUmmie Pitt's attempt at writing is "House of Ill Repute: Reflections on War, Lies, and America's Ravaged Reputation." While this latest example of Bush Derangment Syndrome promises nothing new in terms of analysis or opinions, it does one useful thing - it provides the average human being a glimpse into the tortured, self-loathing, and radical life of an average moonbat. As you can expect, I have absolutely no intention of buying Pitt's book. As...

There was a striking moment during the interregnum last November/December (2000) that has stayed with me ever since. Inside Politics was running 24 hours a day on CNN, you will recall. I was watching one evening, several days into the theft, and there was Judy Woodruff interviewing conservative columnist Bob Novak. The question of the hour was whether or not Al Gore should just quit and go home. On this night, Novak was pointing to a public poll that had been running on the CNN.com web site. You know these polls: log on to a news site and give your...

Rove is free and the looney left is having a fit. William Rivers Pitt, Jason Leopold and Marc Ash from TruthOut.org have pushed the story, "Rove to be Indicted" , for many weeks, but their hopes have been dashed. Now, the faithful looney left is clammering at the TruthOut website demanding that the "sources" for this fiction be exposed. It has been reported that TruthOut/Jason Leopold had promised to reveal his sources if the story proved to be false......and the left is waiting for the sources. They are openly demanding the sources -- but TruthOut has yet to make a...

Robert Luskin, Karl Rove's lawyer, says he spent most of the day on May 12 taking his cat to the veterinarian and having a technician fix his computer at home. He was stunned, therefore, when journalists started calling to ask about an online report that he had spent half the day at his law office, negotiating with Patrick Fitzgerald -- and that the special prosecutor had secretly obtained an indictment of Rove. The cat's medical tests, Luskin says, found that "the stools were free of harmful parasites, which is more than I can say for this case." The claim that...

On Saturday night, attorney Robert Luskin was trying to barbecue at his Washington home when the phone started ringing nonstop. A story posted on an Internet site Truthout.org reported that his client, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, had been indicted.

It's the end of an Era of Shameless Self-Hype. The Puffed Up Verbose One who uses five melodramatic words when just one would work, Pied Piper Pitt, is leaving DUmmieland. And what was the reason for this sudden departure? Most likely it was the result of recently getting egg on his face for backing up the "integrity" of JASON LEOPOLD. As the Lib of the infamous team of Leopold and Lib, Pitt stuck his neck out backing the journalistic credentials of the factually challenged Leopold who stated that Karl Rove received a target letter from Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. When...

Since benburch has the reputaion of being a flat out wacko, even among his fellow DUmmies, it caught my attention when I saw this THREAD posted by William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt with the following headline message: *BENBURCH NEEDS TO PM ME RIGHT NOW*. Of course, I had to click on the link to find out what was so important that Pied Piper Pitt needed to hear from benburch right away. Was it some sort of kinky sex act for which benburch has a reputation for engaging in? No. It turned out to be sensationalism of another nature. Pitt...

Does it really suprise anybody that William Rivers "Pied Piper" Pitt has melodramatically glommed onto the Coretta Scott King funeral in order to draw attention to the most important person in the world---himself? This is a familiar pattern to all who are familiar with Pitt. Previous such glommings included his infamous visit to the Texas ditch (while staying at a nearby air conditioned motel) in order to bask in the reflected glow of the publicity given to Cindy Sheehan. Then there was his grandstanding in LaFayette Park for the First Day When Everything Finally Changed last June followed by...

Even for Pied Piper Pitt, this is a very fast turnaround time. Yesterday, Pitt proudly posted the following thread, "Source tells me Kerry is now openly in favor of a filibuster" to much DUmmie acclaim. HOORAH! The fight is ON!!! Well, it WAS on until this morning when Pied Piper Pitt did a total turnabout with this: Folks, the filibuster is dead. Oops! Apparently the "source" Pitt so proudly cited the day before got back to him with the information that Kerry can't be bothered with leaving the Swiss ski slopes so COOL IT on the whole filibuster cheerleading...

EVERYTHING you need to know about John Kerry's LAUGHABLE attempt to organize a filibuster attempt against the confirmation of Samuel Alito as Supreme Court justice can be summed up in the first paragraph of this New York Times ARTICLE: WASHINGTON, Jan 26 — Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts could not attend the Senate debate on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. on Thursday. He was in Davos, Switzerland, mingling with international business and political leaders at the World Economic Forum. Yeah, this filibuster is so vitally important that Kerry won't even be leaving the Swiss...

Here is the latest blast of Hot Air from DUmmie Temporary SockPu...uh, I mean Pied Piper Pitt. This bloated heat wave emanating from his mouth is pretty much his standard Apocalyptic routine mixed in with a strange feeling of a Swan Song. It is almost as if Pitt is bidding farewell in his current incarnation before Dark Forces conspire to prevent him from fulfilling his "destiny." It is the dark foreboding tone of Pitt's latest overblown treatise that ends up saying really NOTHING that distinguishes this missive from his usual bilge. Is Pitt, perhaps, planning on a trip for...

After I joined the staff of the Spectator magazine 30 years ago, I was taken to the House of Commons as part of my political apprenticeship. We watched a debate from the press gallery and pottered through the lobbies of the cavernous building before repairing at around 9 p.m. to one of the dozen or more bars found in the Palace of Westminster. There we fell in with a Tory MP, the original vaudeville drunk, glassy eyes, slurred speech, teetering on his bar stool. I bought him one or two more and then I helpfully asked if I could find...

One of the geat mysteries of Pied Piper (William Rivers) Pitt's recent ATTACK upon me for taking him up on his CASH Bounty Challenge was his accusation that I was a former "bosom" buddy DUmmie he knew who, as a member of the DNC, attended the Democrat 2004 convention in Boston. Of course, Pitt knows full well that anybody with the screen name of DUmmie FUnnies (which is how I identified myself to him) would be Tombstoned from DUmmieland within about 5 seconds of registering there. And since he clearly heard my voice, he would know that we never...

Talk about Reality Challenged DUmmies! First William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt posts this Reality Challenged THREAD titled, "Going Too Far (or, my conversation with the Bush supporter at the bar)" in which he was MIRACULOUSLY able to reproduce in word-for-word detail a long conversation he had with Ty, whom Pitt described as a Bush supporter who, under the guidance of the All-Wise and erudite Pitt, was able to see the error of his ways. Maybe I am far inferior to the incredible Pitt intellect but, sans tape recorder, I would be hard pressed to reproduce in quotes a long...

Twenty-one Spring days proved that the armed forces of the United States led by the brilliant duo of President George W. Bush, and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield , is unmatched in today's world for the ability to gather resources, gather combat men and to attack and deliver victory in short order. Another factor is their ability to coalesce the support of the American people for the Iraq enterprise. However, there are some in the American population who objected and continue to object to the war. Recent polls indicate that about 22-25% of the American public objected and continue to...

Is there any major Leftist event in which William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt does not try to make HIMSELF the center of attention? We already saw that happen on June 16, “The Day When Everything Finally Changed.” Unfortunately for Pitt, the Day When Everything Finally Changed fizzled out so he tried to kickstart ANOTHER “Day When Everything Finally Changed” this coming September 24. In between, Pitt noticed the Sheehan Circus taking place in Crawford, Texas and went into the panic mode lest the many video cameras there fail to record him blowing bloated pronouncements into his own navel. So...

It looks like Pied Piper Pitt needs to break out in song to sing “Self-Recanted Evening” since he has contradicted himself YET AGAIN as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Before the 'Hackett Wuz Robbed' train gets really rolling...” Pitt makes it appear that the Left is making themselves appear ridiculous by claiming that every election they have lost was stolen. However, a couple of days before making this post, Pitt made his infamous Sound Of Distant Thunder post in which he proudly claimed that he stood on the Capitol steps in May 2001 with a bunch...

June 16, 2005. Mark that date. It was the Day When Everything Finally Changed according to Pied Piper Pitt. Do you feel the big change? Hasn’t your life changed completely? Notice how our political system has radically changed from that date on? Ooops! Never mind. Please send that June 16 date down the memory Pitt because the Pied Piper has come up with a NEW Day When Everything Finally Changed. It is September 24 as you can see in his DUmmie THREAD melodramatically titled, “A Sound of Distant Thunder (regarding the September DC protest).” I like that typical hyperbolic...

For those watching the DUmmie "William Pitt" this past week was surely a wondrous one, full of explosive fireworks, on the heels of several weeks of utter silence on this subject from the DUmmie "William Pitt." It appears the DUmmie "William Pitt" finally read what had been said about him.....about four weeks too late. The guy is hurt, angry, insulted, and it showed. This is reminescent of a similar event about nine weeks ago, when the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson finally discovered the DUmmie FUnnies, and were alas for them three weeks too late. One suspects that during his weeks...

No sooner did the bombs go off today in London when the opportunist whores of the political left began blaming the ones they really felt were responsible for the tragedy---Bush & Blair. Oh, a few of the loons, such as Pied Piper Pitt, made a few gratuitous nods in the way of blaming the ISLAMIC terrorists but that was strictly for show. The ones they REALLY blame are (surprise! surprise!) none other than Bush & Blair as you can see Pitt do in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Over There.” And Pitt proves himself to be way Over There in left...

It has been somewhat quiet on the Andy Stephenson front during the past month of June but here it is the beginning of July and the Scamdy scandal is breaking out all over again. The latest outbreak is in the Seattle Weekly magazine as you can see in this ARTICLE titled, “Two Cases of Bile” which is also the title of this DUmmie THREAD discussing the article. I urge everybody out there to read this Seattle Weekly article in that it provides great laughs in the Whitewash Dept.. Most particularly this line from the article, “’He has pancreatic cancer,’...

Pied Piper Pitt has once again consulted his ever-ready thesaurus in preparation for this paean to himself posted in DUmmieland. The most interesting thing about this DUmmie THREAD titled, “What do you love?” isn’t Pitt’s tedious and overlong self-glorification but his interaction with co-conspirator Scamdy. So let us now view Pied Piper Pitt telling us how wonderful he is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who will be asking the judge at the Scamdy trial to permit a large screen monitor with an internet connection at the Scamdy trial so as to allow the jury...

As you can tell from the twinkle in his eyes and his ever moving eyebrows, Li’l Beaver is a rather impish critter. And today Li’l Beaver decided to smoke out a Rat by the name of William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt. Ever since Andy Stephenson’s operation yesterday at Johns Hopkins, there has been a blanket of silence in Dummieland thrown over the fact of whether or not he had surgery for Pancreatic Cancer. Every mention of “pancreatic cancer” in DUmmieland has been instantly deleted and thrown down the Memory Pitt by Skinner. Fortunately, a few such deleted posts have...

YOWZA! YOWZA! YOWZA!!! It’s RED ALERT time in the AndyScam scandal!!! A regular 5-ALARM fire has broken out in DUmmieland. Pied Piper Pitt has FINALLY awakened from his insomniac state of apathy and has DENOUNCED Andy Stephenson in this THREAD titled, “I'm pretty upset right now, and I need an explanation.” I’m sure you all are HOT to get right into this firestorm so without further adieu let’s get right to it. Pied Piper Pitt’s ANGRY RED HOT posts as well as those of his fellow DUmmies are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching...

It looks like William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt is doing a lot of worrying that the scam perpetrated by Andy Stephenson is going to explode in his face. Pity Poor Pathetic Pied Piper Pitt (had to get in at least one allitertation) for he hasn’t slept since April as you can see in this Pitt authored DUmmie THREAD titled, “I could use a little help here.” Yeah, Pitt, you could actually use a LOT of help WHEN the AndyScam blows up in such a way that even the incredibly gullible DUmmies realize that Andy Stephenson has been scamming them...

If you think that the major change in the world in the past couple of weeks was the announcement of the new Pope, you would be wrong. According to Pied Piper Pitt, the BIG change was his switch from Truthout to the Progressive Democrats of America which he announced to the DUmmie (m)asses with as much self-important gravity as the annunciation of the new Pope. Here we see Pitt blowing his own clouds of white smoke up the chimney as he lets the world know of the momentous change. Not only do we read of Pitt’s PROUNOUNCEMENT but we...

When I was in high school, every once in a while, our class would be visited by a graduate who was currently attending a college as a Freshman or Sophomore. As this college student would speak with his former teacher, we would be somewhat impressed with the “vast knowledge” of this person who seemed like a man of the world in comparison to us mere high school kids. Of course, these college guys weren’t really all that knowledgeable but they still appeared to make an impression on us little high school kids who didn’t know any better. And now...

William Rivers Pitt aka Pied Piper Pitt has been laying low since his Gandalf the Wizard speech following on the heels of his misprediction that SOMETHING WUUUUNDERFUL would happen in Ohio as a result of Kerry lending out his signature to be filed on some insignificant legal filing. However, after a brief respite, Pied Piper Pitt is back and bloviating louder than ever with his call for action by U.S. Senators tomorrow when the electoral votes are officially counted. As even Pitt admits in his DUmmie THREAD titled, “Stand Up, Senator,” such an action will have NO EFFECT on...

Pied Piper Pitt, aka William RIVERS Pitt, after having his promise of something WONDERFUL happening on Monday (after the snow dog ate his homework last week) go up in smoke, is now trying to change the subject and cheer on the DUmmies with a dopey pep talk as we can see in this Dummie THREAD titled, “This is a great time to be alive.” This posting follows on the heels of a dopey story that Pied Piper Pitt posted yesterday about some guy who is a milkman who tries to be a dogcatcher (or was it the other way...

Election Challenge likely on Jan 6th If you haven't been following John Kerry closely, get ready to hear of surprising developments. The vote-defrauded, potential president-in-waiting has just indicated through his lawyer that the validity of George Bush's reelection is no longer a given. On 23 December, 2004 Kerry's lawyer confirmed to MSNBC's 'Countdown' that John Kerry will be seeking (likely on Monday 27 Dec.) to expedite court proceedings in an ongoing recount suit by the Green and Libertarian parties. That might sound like just another "count every vote" exercise by the Kerry campaign, were it not for two important details....

Once again we have a situation of Watching DUmmies Watching Us Watching DUmmies. This time it has to do with them watching us watching their posts on a 12-22 thread about a “revelation” from lead DUmmie Moonbat, William Rivers Pitt, announcing that Kerry would jump into the vote fraud game the following day to challenge the Ohio vote. After much jubilation and wing fluttering from the lesser Moonbats over in DUmmieland, exactly NOTHING happened. Now that the DUmmies have egg all over their face they are whining about the Freepers laughing at them in this THREAD titled, “From the...

Anybody familiar with the Peanuts comics strip knows there is a yearly ritual involving Charlie Brown and Lucy. Lucy holds a football and promises the somewhat skeptical Charlie Brown that she won’t pull the football away at the last moment. Despite his skepticism, Charlie Brown manages to overcome his doubts every year and attempts to kick the football, which is ALWAYS pulled away at the last moment by Lucy, leaving poor Charlie to go flying into the air when his foot fails to make contact with the ball. Likewise the DUmmies are afflicted with this same Charlie Brown syndrome...

'Instant' Book Decries U.S. on Iraq Associated Press Monday, September 16, 2002; 4:15 PM NEW YORK –– Former United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter will be featured in an "instant" book that strongly opposes going to war against Iraq. Context Books will publish "War on Iraq" next week, with a first printing of 125,000. The book was written by William Rivers Pitt, a Boston-based author and political analyst. An interview with Ritter is included in the text. According to a statement released by Context, the book "debunks the key arguments for war," notably Iraq's alleged nuclear capabilities. Ritter, a former...
