Indeed!
Twin spin!
MAKE ME KNOWN, COUNTRY ROAD
Tune: "Take Me Home, Country Roads"
Almost hades, Crawford Texas
Bush Ranch protest, Sheehan doin' talk shows
Press is out there, underneath the tree
Lookin' for some talkers, might as well be me
Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road
All my DUmmies rally round me
Mindless, lazy, looking for a leader
Read my bloggings, written on the fly
Boring waste of bandwidth, glazing of the eye
Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road
I wear a hat, in the mirror I see Eastwood
The ladies on DU think I'm hot when I pose
But sweatin' in the sun I get the feelin'
That I should have worn some lighter clothes, lighter clothes
Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road
Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road . . .

So here's my question: if you are, in fact, wandering around Washington with a big skewer in your hand, and this is known, and it is also known that you have it in for every politician you meet, how is it you get so many 'sources' to talk to you? If you're such a badass, who in their right mind would tell you anything? Especially in this White House?
I, flatly, don't believe you. Whenever I use a source, I name them. Period. You have disdain for teachers of journalism, but this former journalism teacher thinks sticking to the basic protocols is a wise idea. Yes, anonymous sources are part of the game. For you, for the 'big stories' that always seem to get this place in a twist, anonymous sources are the whole game.
Yes, you apologized for Terrance Wilkerson. But how many more Wilkersons are there lurking beneath your by-line? How many people are selling you hooey, which you are more than happy to print under the anonymous-source rubric?
It is hard enough working to make the alt-mdia a legitimate news source without having publications like CHB roll the rock back down the hill. If it satisfies you to burnish your credentials and publish hatchet-pieces with bad facts under your name, so be it. I don't trust you any further than I could throw you, many feel the same as I do, and you have no one to blame for that but yourself.
But you won't see this, because you don't pay attention to forums. Alas. It's too bad, because post 34 above asks a bunch of good questions.
Soon he will evolve out of the crawling stage.
Which bar was he crawling out of?
"OK, I want some answers... whats that? He's dead? This post never happened. I was not here..."
Would that be like "beer goggles"? I think Willie uses those when he goes pub-crawling.
I'm going to be chuckling in about a year or so when Pied Piper Pitt has to decide to go with Kerry or Hillary. Kerry (or rather, Mrs. Heinz) has been a reliable source of Franklins in the past but Hillary is a KNOWN go-getter when it comes to raising campaign bucks. And, of course, I expect Kerry to be CRUSHED early by the Hillary machine. If Pitt goes to the Hillary side, it will be hilarious to read his rationalizations in DUmmieland since Hillary is LOATHED there as a Triangulating Opportunist.
[I've always thought of Pitt as a snake but I ACCEPT your characterization of him as a "cameleon." (Is that a camel that can change colors?)]
You're both on the right track...the rare WRPitt Viper, recognized by its beady eyes, forked tongue, and ever-changing camoflauge as it tries to fit in to a particular setting; known by its repeated attempts to set itself up as an expert in any given field, its namedropping habits, and its flamboyant displays before a camera lens.
BTW, how does J-Lo keep up the payments on her island mansion? I thought her career was on the skids nowawayds.
Give Pitt credit for fleecing the flock when he turned a horrible interview with the Burger King peodophile and turned it into a phamphlet he could sell to the unwashed.
Our William Rivers Pitt IS related, btw, to the two prime ministers of England named William Pitt (father and son) from the late 1700s-early 1800s. Maybe that's why our little Lord Will hates America so. "Bloody colonists!"
Oh, and you would have loved just the boat on the Boat tour. There were tons of classy looking Hot Latina chicks on there. And I couldn't believe that most of them were accompanied only by other Hot Latina Chicks, not guys. Of course, it didn't do me a bit of good because I was already with my own Hot Latina Chick. But YOU would have been in heaven!
The mind boggles. Willie and Kookie.
I guess he can't be whacked until he actually posts something to indicate he is THAT Doug Thompson.
I'll take a quick look at his posting history...
Same guy -- he even posts his email address, but his last post was 2003. See: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/user-posts?id=7275
AM, can we ban someone for what they say elsewhere?
"Mirror, mirror, aimed at Will,
When have you had such a thrill?"
There is also Willie and Lenny.
