The DUmmie "William Pitt"

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 of silence on the matter, the DUmmie "William Pitt" had been ignoring the DUmmie FUnnies, the DUmmie Alert!s, and conservativeunderground, voluntarily unaware that such places were commenting upon his silence.

This has always mystified--and sometimes amused--me, this propensity of some segments in our society to ignore the "political opposition" as if it did not exist, or did not count.

It should be no wonder they keep losing elections.

Okay, so I am a Republican and a conservative, and hang around a great deal on Republican and conservative web-sites.....but I hang around a lot more on Democratic and liberal web-sites, to see what is going on, on the other side of the aisle.

Many people (of all political stripes) tend to hang around those whose values and perceptions match their own, for affirmation of those values and perceptions; by being along with like-thinking people, they feel strengthened, reinforced.

But a truly confident person has no need for "team support;" strong enough in his values and confident of his perceptions, he feels utterly unthreatened scouting around for values and perceptions different from his own.

Perhaps the DUmmie "William Pitt" is unsure and shaky in his own political convictions, and so as to reinforce them, hangs around with his own crowd, fearful of looking into what another crowd is doing or saying, lest his political convictions get shattered.

Which is no sign of a person confident about himself.

And it has obvious disadvantages, not looking at what "other side" is saying or doing.

When the DUmmiette "sfexpat2000" started the fund-raiser the afternoon of April 28, 2005, she should have posted her solicitation in DUmmieland, and immediately parked herself in front of the DUmmie FUnnies, to see what was being said about the matter, from the other side. If she had done that, the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson would have been aware of their missteps, their contradicitons, their omissions, in time to correct such things.

But no, instead, the DUmmiette "sfexpat2000" hung around her own crowd, in the comfortable cocoon of DUmmieland, voluntarily unaware of the furor outside, and the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson were three weeks--three weeks!--three weeks!--three weeks!--too late in seeing what the DUmmie FUnnies were saying about the matter, after which it was far too late to correct matters.

Such behavior--not looking to see what is going on in the great big wide world outside--I had compared with four affluent old dowagers (and remember, with only one exception, the acolytes of Andrew Stephenson are not young) gathering for their Wednesday afternoon bridge game, in an affluent living room with large picture-windows on all four sides.

While the rich old ladies gab and gossip around the card-table, in that living room with large windows all around, a tornado suddenly sweeps though.....and they indignantly wonder what had hit them.

The situation of the DUmmie "William Pitt" is more analogous to that of a post-office clerk in Germany the spring of 1945 (this is a true story, told me a long time ago by a British army veteran who had actually seen the sight); the guy so meticulous, so scrupulous in his duties, that he was unaware of the wider world outside.

While the post-office clerk was noting the number of staples, sheets of paper, various denominations of postage stamps, the metal and paper contents of the till, the British army swept through his town; much destruction, shooting, explosions, buildings falling down.

But the post-office clerk was so diligent in his tasks that he remained oblivious, utterly ignorant, of the noise and tumult and fire and smoke outside his front window, until he had finished accounting for the final pencil-stub and paper-clip.

Only then did he look up, look outside the windows upon his destroyed village, and in stunned shock and awe, stuttered, "What happened?"

I'd like to be added to any ping lists regarding Andy.

From another thread:
>>It's been enough time, has there been an obit in the papers? <<
>>There has not been. I've been keeping an eye out. You can look for yourself here: http://www.legacy.com/nwclassifieds/LegacyHome.asp<<

I messed up the link a little.

[SoothingDave]

Would I be out of line if I asked for a verifiable paper obit?

Not at all. I hope a Seattle FReeper can find one for us. Or at least notify the local media about the big story they have apparently missed.

Naaah.

Spit it out.

[Darksheare]

An over 'outraged' DUmmy who showed up recently supposedly 'outraged' over the whole SCAMDY thing.
You've been told to read up on the subject, and you have indicated that you don't really want to see what the scoop is, you just want to whine.
;-)
PJ, franksolich and Al are the three people I know of who have the most info on the subject.
I suggest you actually LISTEN to them.
It would be wise.

[luvie]

Well, I must say I haven't been able to keep up lately and had no idea that Andy died from complications from his surgery. God rest his soul.

I haven't read this whole thread yet, but don't you imagine that he might have had complications because of his behavior before and after the surgery? He was traipsing around the country, on the cell phone right afterward, having way too many visitors, and I don't think he stayed in the hospital nearly as long as he should have given the supposed seriousness of his condition. I have no idea what he did once he got out, but I'll just nearly bet he didn't take care of himself in a way that would help him heal.

If he had some auto-immune disease that was undiagnosed, that would also affect his ability to heal. All just speculation, however, I know FReepers didn't kill him--but DUmmies will play the blame game; it's what DUmmies do!

[Duke Nukum]

LOL! I had the same thought!

[SoothingDave]

I don't think it does any good to speculate on things like that. Particularly nasty infections picked up in hospitals can lay out even the best and healthiest of folks. I wouldn't want to lay blame on anyone for having been unlucky enough to contract such a thing.

[franksolich]

Well, I wonder if richboy using his cellular telephone in the intensive care unit at Johns Hopkins helped deter the recovery of Andrew Stephenson.

Cellular telephones interfere with delicate and sensitive medical equipment, and so perhaps this played a part.

Who knows.

[luvie]

I'm certainly not trying to blame anyone--sorry if it sounded like that--just speculating on things that might have contributed to his death. I have known several people who have been made sicker by staph infections that they contracted in the hospital that was supposed to be getting them well. But having so much company and not keeping the sickroom at least semi-sterile during these critical early days is at least careless on someone's part. But nevertheless, God rest his soul. Let the DUmmies lay blame--we have only tried to get the truth of the whole situation out in the open.

[SoothingDave]

I'm certainly not trying to blame anyone--sorry if it sounded like that--

It didn't sound that way to me, but you must remember we have an audience, some of whom consider us ogres.

Thanx for the recommendation Dark, this whole thing has been a group effort put forth by many of us. I would like to acknowledge credit to some others that have been crucial to the whole investigation.

 

We're BAD when we collectively start sniffin' aint we? 

As for you Jack, I still say you have no idea of the purpose, or the intent of these threads. Until you do it would be wise to take Dark's advice. This is not the DUmpster. We deal in facts, not inuendo. This whole mess could have been put to bed, what is it frank, about 70 days ago now, just by answering 3 little questions. DUmmies have no one else to blame but themselves.

[luvie]

I understand--thank you. When the blame game starts--well, I guess it has already started--it won't be the evidence that counts but the "seriousness of the charges", typical DUmmie-speak. I guess we all have to be very, very careful.

[Allosaurs_r_us]

I have no idea what he did once he got out, but I'll just nearly bet he didn't take care of himself in a way that would help him heal.

 

I just had surgery last November and Andy was talking about eating things right after he got out of the hospital that there is no way I could have "passed" out the other end, if ya know what I mean. That in itself could not be good. I realize the diet the Docs give you is pretty bland, but in Andy's case it looks like it may have been crucial for the healing process.

[commonguymd]

One only needs to google the author of the article and you will find his most popular article listed many many times. He seems to have a relationship issue of some type I won't explain.

Anyway, find it, and you will then see why this reporter did a puff piece on Andy.

[Charles Henrickson]

Two years ago, in June of 2003, I got an infection in my leg--apparently the same type of infection that Andy got, i.e., a staph infection--just through a little scab on the back of my calf that hadn't quite healed. It spread up and down my leg, got into my bloodstream (septicemia), gave me pneumonia, and very nearly killed me. I was in the hospital for 13 days, had a very high fever for a week solid, and was pumped so full of antibiotics that I developed an allergic reaction to penicillin, which I can never take again.

What I learned from this experience is the very great danger of infection. It literally could strike anyone at any time. We all are surrounded by bazillions of little bugs every day. The skin is the first line of defense. Any break in your body's defense system, and the wrong kind of bug gets in there--it can kill you. I nearly died from infection getting in through a little scab on my leg. Now imagine the risk of infection when one has abdominal surgery, of any kind.

My point is this: If a staph infection got into Andy's blood system and killed him, it doesn't matter if the surgery was delayed, for whatever reason--the very fact of surgery at all literally opened him up to the risk of infection.

Furthermore, if Andy had pancreatic cancer, it doesn't matter if the surgery was delayed for a few days in May. And if it then got into his lymph nodes, as was reported, it doesn't matter if the surgery was delayed for a few days in May. In either case, sad to say, he wasn't going to make it anyway.

If any delay did make a difference--and frankly, I don't think it did--it would have been the big delay from January or February (when symptoms started appearing) to May--while earlier surgery in Washington was being passed up--and not the minor delay from May 10 to May 25, because of either lost checks in the mailroom or a "super duper test."

BOTTOM LINE: NOBODY "KILLED" ANDY.

Much less deliberately.

Again, no one here wished Andy ill. I and many others wished Andy good health, many, many times. No one here rejoices in his death.

Now if we could just get the PunIdiot Pitt to acknowledge this fact, they could stop all of the name calling and innuendo over at the DUmpster and every other moonbat web site. I actually stumbled onto a website where they are proud to be called MoonBat. The logic of the left never ceases to amaze!

 

This will never happen. The DUmmies love to wallow in despair. It is evident from all the rants they perpetuate amongst themselves every single day and twice on Saturday. Every single one of them has a  "whoa is me" mentality. It must be someone else's fault. There is no such thing as personal responsibility.

 

God helps those that help themselves. They do not want to be helped. They couldn't play victim, and that is the basis of their life on this planet, not to mention their political philosophy.

[luvie]

Like you all have said,there were many contributing factors in Andy's death--may he rest in peace--but the bottom line is, it was an unintentional, accidental death. No one "killed" him. That won't keep the DUmmies from laying blame, but no one should feel any guilt. Not one of us can know the hour of our death save the Father.

[gidget7]

Absolutely right. None of us wished him ill, nevermind death. Now that it is happen, I for one, hope he had a chance to confess and repent, and is now with our heavenly Father.

[Purrcival]

Haven't seen you around here during all of the discussions. If you had been, you would know that franksolich is exactly the opposite of what you're accusing him of being. You obviously don't know ALL of the history here, so why don't you gather some info before spouting off?
