WOW!!! That was the most INCREDIBLE POST I have ever seen Pied Piper Pitt make. Not only was it a big FU to Skinner but Pitt reveals that Joe Wilson was a source for this bogus Karl Rove indictment story. It was quickly deleted from deleted from DUmmieland but not before being copied and pasted on KOS for all posterity:

52. Dear Skinner Updated at 1:42 PM

"I think Daou pretty much nails it. Jason Leopold and Truthout have stuck their necks waaaaaaay out there on this one. If they end up being wrong, then they will do it spectacularly and publicly. I cannot imagine that they would stick their necks out this far unless they believed that their story was airtight. But damn, right now they are out there all alone on this one. I find it very hard not to be skeptical. They must be sweating bullets over there at Truthout. They put it all out there. F*cking ballsy. If they're right, they will be right spectacularly and publicly."

When this story pans out, and all the little fish try to swim home, I am going to say "Sorry, you had the chance to stand with an ally, and instead, decided to say 'I find it very hard not to be skeptical.'"

You could have asked. I would have gladly explained the inside sourcing that I cannot reveal publicly. I would have told you. Happily. I would have explained how Joseph Wilson independently verified a half dozen other sources, none of whom are connected. We had a guy **deleted**.

I'd have told you, had you asked, because you are owed that much. But sadly, no. You threw me and Jason and truthout under the bus. Publicly, because you do not have the COURAGE to stand with someone who has stood with you. You couldn't even do it silently.

This was a wheat-from-the-chaff moment, and you failed. You spend a good deal of time talking about standing strong, but you publicly f*cked one man who has stood stronger for you more than any other. Name for me please the New York Times and international best-selling book, translated into twelve languages, that thanks you and your site above anything else. First and foremost.

There is one. Only one. Mine. Before my own mother, I thanked you.

Yeah, yeah, we're 'ballsy' if we're right. But you made it 100% clear that you don't think we are. You could have asked. I'd have let you in. But no, you decided to cover your own ass.

You're in the wrong business.

I am disgusted.

You are no better than the cretins who have taken control of your site.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Pitt better watch out or Skinner might retaliate by publicly revealing the identity of "Temporary Sockpuppet."

...since it's been reproduced in its entirety elsewhere on the internet.
Joe is certainly not going to be very happy with you.
And your slagging off against Skinner is shameful.

I have no doubt whatsoever as to the essential veracity of that statement, at least.

FREUDENSCHADE, Mama Pitt! ROTFLMAO!!!! :)

it a big FU to Skinner

Anyone want to start a betting pool on when the Pied Piper will be cast into the Pitt?

A gem from that thread:

And in the meantime, we have "multiple sources" here at DU trying -- once again -- to tear down the credibility of those on the web (Jason Leopold/Truthout, Will Pitt, Lala RawRaw...) which is the ONLY reliable source of news these days.

Tearing down the credibility of Jason Leopold and Will Pitt? Say it ain't so!

Scott Ritter's?

I would have explained how Joseph Wilson independently verified a half dozen other sources. . . .

Now that Pitt has "outed" Joe Wilson as a "covert" source, won't Pitt himself be facing indictment?
