Me and Brendeen are a bit sore at that there go-rilla.
Don't forget the blustering of the staggering asshole himself, Will Pitt.
His anecdote was called into question before long, and Pitt descends into this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5705768&mesg_id=5709832
I've checked into it somewhat, but the rest is out there waiting for the world-famous William Rivers Pitt to put-up or shut-up.
As I remember it, one of former Pres. Clinton's forays into foreign policy was the bungled affair in Haiti. In 1994. Some asshat, Raoul Cedras finagled a million or so dollars from American taxpayers on threat of invasion by the Clinton/Les Aspin Dept. of Defense. Clinton/Aspin ponied up, and there was no invasion.
Will Pitt maintains that "Ty" was wounded in action in the liberation of Haiti, in Sept., 1994. Under President Clinton.
As I recall it, some American warships stood off-shore, Clinton's media blustered, and when all was said and done, Clinton retreated from exercising any control what-so-ever.
As casualties are a matter of public record, such records should exist of the illusory "Ty", wounded in battle, storming the beaches of Haiti in 1994.
If I'm ill-informed on the subject, I'd be willing to read some links. But Will Pitt's story stinks.
The public records on the web regarding that specific operation aren't easy to find, unless some fellow FReepers can supply some context/guidance.
The odds are increasing that Pitt is going to have to put-up AND pay-up.
It'd be sweet if PJ can confront the alleged journalist with confirmations and corrections and collections...
$10,000.
Unless Pitt has some un-used slush-fund, he'll Never Pay.
Pitt's a "liberal".
'Liberals' Never Pay Their Own Way...\
Pitt is an arch-type of pampered pussy "liberals".
When caught lying, Pitt can't pay. He's a pathetic drunk. Go ahead, challenge him, he'll just say 'he doesn't remember', or somesuch.
" I was fighting Fascism"!, argues Pitt, even as he cheered-on a ghoulish grave-side and gleeful celebration of Mother Sheehan's 'Coming Out'...
Every Moonbat who's Batty counts, and they came out in force...
I clicked the link you posted but noting comes up.
DU deleted it, as usual.
PJ, can you believe that?! BOTH Pitt threads referenced in the opening of this thread--BOTH have gone down the Memory Pitt!!!
Will Pitt got caught in a lie, and PJ called him out on it. Truth goes down the memory hole again.
HA! Pitt has been BUSTED! Literally but I think possibly also for REAL by Ty whom might have finally gotten around to reading what Pitt wrote about him and BUSTED Pitt with a BODY SLAM.
BTW, I think Pitt had it all tossed down a memory hole because I discovered that even a lot of leftists, including a writer for Capitol Hill Blue, consider Pitt to be a FRAUD. ANY professional writer would KNOW that there is NO WAY someone can direct quote WORD FOR WORD long blocks of conversation, sans tape recorder, as Pitt did.
As an experiment, have a 10 minute conversation with somebody. Without the aid of a tape recorder, there is NO WAY one can regurgitate on the page word for word what was actually said even if you try to do it right away.
Anyway, if anybody out there finds out more on what's up with Pitt and his BS story, let me know.

Out-freakin-standing!
You know, PJ, that aspect of Pitt's "essay" didn't bother me. While he put the conversation in quotes, I did not regard it necessarily as the ipsissima verba (a little Latin lingo there for you) of the speakers but rather as the reconstructed substance--the "gist," if you will. And remember, the "dialogue" was really more of a monologue--of course, it involved the Loquacious One!--with Pitt speaking in canned talking-point-like paragraphs (which I could believe he would do) and huge slow Ty speaking a few monosyllabic grunts here and there (which Pitt certainly would have us believe about his "friend," the big dumb lunk).
I just found out that Skinner is redoing the General Discussion section so that is why those links aren't working. Just found the Pitt attack on yours truly via another method in DUmmieland. However, I will be featuring a DUFU tomorrow about Leftists mocking Pitt including that Capitol Hill Leftwing writer.
I am still trying to find out which bar Ty works in.
