What game?
The game was over nearly two months ago.
Pitt gets the "Joe Biden Literature Award" for claiming a pamphlet containing the transcript of a Scott Ritter interview is a book, of which he's a co-author.
Maybe Kerry's gonna play dress up and play Senator.
I'd give $20 to see him in a French Maid's outfit... as long as I could take pictures...
Sounds like Pitt is parsing his words ala Clinton. States two events as if they are related but clearly doesn't indicate they are. Kerry into the game, might just be more pictures of him playing ski football with the Kennedys. hey watch that tree! It may also be something like coming out against Rummy. Yawn! Trying to be relavent now that Hillary is getting the attention. The Triad thing sounds like more fancy satisticks to prove more whacko theories. They will hit his web site hard tomorrow and he will likely make a bit of money.
Put it this way, occasional leftist freeper Rick 'Perlstein' of the Village Voice thinks these guys are farking nuts.

This clash of cultures, between bright-eyed defenders of democracy (an ingathering one of the Greene County volunteers breathlessly calls "divinely guided") and harried county clerks can make for epic misunderstandings. An entire county is only recounted if a preliminary sample of 3 percent shows anomalies. In little Hocking County, a visiting computer repairman from Triad Government Systems suggested dodging that tedious eventuality by hiding the original totals on a bulletin board. Word of the repairman's suggestion leaked out. Online forums exploded with conspiracy theories, though everyone actually present at the time insists the guy was joking. It wasn't funny to Representative Conyers, who called it "likely illegal election tampering" and demanded an FBI investigation.
That kind of overreaching may lead to embarrassments. Cliff Arnebeck is an Ohio-based lawyer convinced that it was John Kerry who won 51 percent there—only to be robbed, he says, by "a movement of some 65,000 votes or so that were cast for Kerry into the Bush column." His evidence relies on comparing the number of votes Kerry received in four conservative counties in southwest Ohio to the total won by an African American Supreme Court candidate, C. Ellen Connally. "It's a fix," says Arnebeck—after all, he reasons, who could have intended a vote for both George Bush and a liberal black woman?
You wonder if Arnebeck did his due diligence before making the claim. "Connally and I have talked about it. It's such a stretch," says Dan Trevas, spokesman for the Ohio Democratic Party. He reeled off three reasons southwestern Ohio turned against Connally's opponent, Thomas J. Moyer—most prominently the way the area had been ravaged by one of Moyer's most prominent decisions, on school-funding formulas. Arnebeck's response? "He's blowing smoke. Those three things are bullshit." He blames the Democrats' culture of timidity for their inability to get behind his suit. "If you get screwed this way, this is the last thing you want to admit: that you've let them get away with this stuff."
Pitt frequently pimps his truthout.org website at DU but is not as crass as Bev Harris shaking down the DUmmies for cash....yet.
Not directly take their cash (but now that you mention it they sure seem willing to buy snake oil over there. One person is even willing to buy him champaign after this little chain jerk). He may however get paid for hits to his article or to the site. The more interest he can generate, the more he stands to make.
ping for later
They have really lost it over in DUmmie Land. That thread is over 450 posts and they are totally delusional! I can't wait to see what this NEWS is!
I'm inferring that the News is that Kerry intends to contest the 2004 election.
They really have lost it. It's kinda sad, but also encouraging, since if their hard-core's have lost touch with reality this badly, they will be easily defeated next time through.
Curiously, he was a Freeper, back in the old days. He and I went 'round and 'round a few times. He's a confirmed loonatick leftii but he was fun to torment for a while.
Then the Mods Vikinged his sorry a&&.
I've never seen a more gullible group of people. Spalding Smails should be their mascot: "That kid will eat anything."
I am anxious to hear the news that W Pitt comes up with. Alert me if you hear. I will alert you if I hear.

Here's their current thread about the big thing that is - or isn't - coming down today:

They are wavering between pants-wetting joy and the bleak reality of their futile existence.
I have a sneaky suspicion it's going to amount to diddly, but then again those folks have a track record of taking the tiniest scrap of nothing and making it out to be the Second Coming...
