Oops. "Villany" = VILLAINY (obviously). :)
LOL! Some DUmmie described the TruthOut Non-Apology as a "partial birth apology."
The indictment story should have never been released, and I'm sad to see Will Pitt put all his eggs in the Jason Leopold basket.
I'd like to make it even better:

ROFL! Its pretty amazing how funny some of the DUmmies can be, although most of the time they are mired in such doom and gloom, nothing intentionally funny comes out of them.
Ah yes, lala_rawraw, the Russian babushka, the Russian grandmother, Raw Story's "Managing Investigative News Editor."
You know, these "alternative news" web-sites carry more names and titles on their mastheads than do legitimate "mainstream" newspapers; even the scrubbing woman has some sort of "journalistic" title.
I do not know--although I have always been curious about--the source of funds for such "alternative news" web-sites, but I suspect such sites are not, really, rolling in the cash.
For one example, I really doubt the Bostonian Idiot gets more than a pittance, if even that much, for being "Managing News Editor" (or whatever) of "truthingarbageout."
Both "truthingarbageout" and "rawnonstory" remind me very much of the ploy used by the DUmmie from North Carolina, a guy who tried (and failed) to cheat Bev Harris, who alleges himself as a "publisher," when in fact it is simply a Desktop Publishing operation.....but he wishes to give the impression he is in the same league as Simon & Shuster, McGraw-Hill, Random House, &c., &c., &c.
These DUmmies remind me very much of farmers in Nebraska; their "hobby" does not bring in enough cash, so they either have to have another job, or subsist on governmental welfare.
I suppose the DUmmie "kevin malice" (or whatever) of "publishing" notoriety has some sort of at least semi-professional job. I suppose the Bostonian Idiot gets money from mom, pop, and George Bush (the earned-income credit), although at 35 years of age, entering middle-age, that seems a little old to be dependent. And as for the Russian babushka, the Russian grandmother (who is, honestly, young and attractive, if one prefers the Russian sort), there have been for a long time recurring rumors she is a "kept woman" of some "businessman" down in Florida.
These job-titles crack me up; they may sound impressive, but one suspects the paycheck isn't.
My theory is that all the funny and witty DUmmies are moles from here or CU. No real DUmmie has any sense of humor. hehe

183. . I can't believe that it is Saturday, 6:00 PM and we haven't heard anything from Pitt or Leopold. They should at least comment on it.

190. We've written it off to "Meglomaniacs GONE WILD!"
Not sure how long this will last, but I just found a Pitt thread in the lounge:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5177674
Funny how that "lounge" thread about the Bostonian Idiot turned into a discussion of colon surgery.
Not that colon surgery is funny--no way--but just that the discussion veered into that direction.
No Way, Chas - WRP is actually related to the William Pitts? Hmmm, maybe all that first cousin marrying is showing in the later generations.
BTW, congrats to your accomplished daughter!
The Bostonian Idiot has alleged he is a descendant of the two Pitts of England (18th century), and that Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was named for his ancestors.
Having done intense genealogical research myself, I think the similarity in the last name is simply a coincidence.
I am SO stealing that.
I would think that "Pitt" is a fairly common name. As an interesting aside, we had lunch in an London pub which was allegedly the preferred stomping grounds of Pepys, and my ancestral name is "Renesselaer" which is old Dutch.
Now, "Renesselaer" is uncommon enough that all connections should be legitimate.
One runs into problems with ordinary names, ubiquitous names, common names (Smith, Jones, Brown), and especially when they were anglicized versions of eastern European names.
There's a lot of Smiths, Joneses, and Browns today whose authentic ancestral names are Wyznieskowski, Broizefovsky, Burchchewsky, Allenoff, Pittboringski, &c., &c., &c.
heh, heh does Bukowski rank?
You know, there's a DUmmie in DUmmieland, "HereSince1628," which confuses me greatly.
I thought Democrats, liberals, and left-wingers were egalitarians, that ancestry doesn't matter, and that only reactionary old right-wing Republicans and conservatives are interested in such things.
But then we have this DUmmie.
Well, there's nothing wrong with being proud of the ancestry, for what they themselves were, but trying to get any glory off of having them as ancestors is sort of like the moon borrowing its radiance from the sun.
