DUmmie FUnnies 10-04-05 (Mary Mapes Spins Fiction---Book Excerpt)

DUmmie FUnnies ^ | October 4, 2005 | Mary Mapes and PJ-Comix

[PJ-Comix]

WHEW! My head is spinning! No only was this the LONGEST DUFU edition ever but I am still reeling from the absolute ABSURDITY of Mary Mapes' book excerpt. Hopefully our own Buckhead will be paying Mary a visit during her book tour to set her straight. And now I need to belt down a few "highballs" with Kitty Carlisle at the Hotel Pierre bar.

Save yourself the hassle of searching for each new edition of the DUmmie FUnnies. You can be alerted to them as they are posted by simply asking to be placed on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.

[PJ-Comix]

PING!

oh my i'm buying a lottery ticket. 2 days in a row!

[cripplecreek]

Damn she's long winded.

My story on George W. Bush’s Guard service had run on 60 Minutes the night before and I felt it had been a solid piece. We had worked under tremendous pressure because of the short time frame and the explosive content, but we’d made our deadline and, most important, we’d made news.

[You made the deadline by cutting out certain annoying time-consuming procedures such as fact-checking, Mary.]

LOL

[just me]

First time in the top ten?

[Charles Henrickson]

I woke up smiling on September 9, 2004.

I broke up laughing on October 4, 2005.

[rockrr]

I wonder if the FReepers are gonna tear themselves away from bashing each other to make the "top 10"?

[Charles Henrickson]

My story on George W. Bush’s Guard service. . . .

WHOSE story, Mary? Don't you think Gunga Dan wants to take credit for it?

[Purrcival]

Oooooh, top 10! Had to call "dibs" before I read this thing - it's long!

[just me]

Has any one told Mary Mapes Bush won. Her book means nothing to intelligent people?

[Charles Henrickson]

we’d made our deadline and, most important, we’d made news.

"We'd made up news," I think you mean.

[cripplecreek]

The DUmmies will happily snatch her book up. They can't throw those welfare chacks away fast enough.

[USNBandit]

and, most important, we’d made news.

More like made up news.

[PJ-Comix]

Oooooh, top 10! Had to call "dibs" before I read this thing - it's long!

The LOOOOONGEST DUFU edition yet!

[jla]

PJ...Your commentary throughout is hilarious. You are the conservative's Don Rickles.

[prairiebreeze]

By the end of the month, I would be barred from doing my job and under investigation. By the end of the year, my long career at CBS News would essentially be over, after a long, excruciating, and very public beating

Cry me a river, you lying media whore. You got precisely what you deserved....SACKED! And in disgrace.

No lighthearted comments from me on this subject. The only remaining problem is the "investigation" was a sham and more higher-up's at SeeBS should also have been told to clean out their desks.

[cripplecreek]

"It was a devastatingly one-sided account of Barnes’s past financial troubles and long-ago political scrapes, along with ancient accusations about Barnes when he had been a Democratic leader in Texas politics."


What a shameless idiot Mapes is. Complaining about digging around in the past of someone who dug around in someone elses past.

[Charles Henrickson]

What had George W. Bush done during the volatile Vietnam years?

And I'm sure you worked just as vigorously blowing the whistle (no pun intended) on what Bill Clinton had done during the volatile Vietnam years--like draft-dodging , skipping the country, and demonstrating on foreign soil. And I'm sure you highlighted the grave dangers Algore faced sitting behind a typewriter during that time. And you must certainly have aired extensive interviews with the Swift Boat Veterans to get to the truth of what John Fraud Kerry actually had done during those volatile years, not to mention his demonstrating with Commie sympathizers when he got home.

[Charles Henrickson]

Did he do his duty? Did he tell the truth?

And you cared as deeply to ask those questions about Clinton and Algore and Kerry, right?
