LOL!

Of course, the difference between Will "Magic Man" Pitt and Spider-Man is that Pitt spins a tangled web that only catches himself and his allies.

It's odd.

Someone somewhere else found an old post where the Bostonian Idiot had already revealed his sources for the Karl Rove indictment, but even with wireless, the link takes w-a-a-a-y too long to load.

Anything and everything connected with the Bostonian Idiot seems to be messed up today.

86. They all resigned, they all did time, there were no deals.

That was Watergate.

This nonsense is Internet lunacy, that's all. Someone's pulling legs, and making funny.

There is no indictment.

No one knows anything.

Fitzgerald's investigations never leak.

The story's been nonsense and untrue from the beginning.

This is not at all comparable to Watergate, just so you know.

74. Remarkable.

Just when you think someone with good sense will just shut up and disappear, or else admit they benburched it up, or do something that makes sense, along comes some blather like this, utterly meaningless.

It's getting funnier, that much is true.

Who would possibly buy this? It's absurd. I sense a large joke being played on a small group of people, but I wonder why.

Anyway, Rove's on Death Row, I hear, and tonight's the night.

Midnight. Rove gets it.

Pass it on.

110. No, no, no...........

Don't give up. People are all tangled up in getting Rove indicted (for reasons that I don't understand), and they lose sight of the fact that the Fitzgerald investigation is about outing a CIA agent - and, if you read the law he's charged with enforcing, you'd see why he'll never be able to get any indictments under it, it's that bad.

They're misguided and confused, and when that happens, they'll grab at anything, regardless of how absurd.

In time, I honestly believe that they'll come around and see that they were just a little bit off-track and chose to hang onto a story that was patently absurd on its face.

Or else they'll do what others in this situation do, and become Pat Robertson/Jerry Falwelll groupies.

Don't be mad, though. It's sort of a group mindthink that'll clear up. I hope.

65. Rove's on Death Row, and it's only a matter of hours now. The Governor, Howard Zinn, says he's gonna let him fry.

Where were you? You missed EVERYTHING.

"Now for Mr. Carallo's response:

1. Truthout's claims remain demonstrably false. They are "utter lies. There is not a shred of truth to them."
2. Neither Rove, his lawyer Bob Luskin or Patrick Fitzgerald were at Patton Boggs on Friday or Saturday. There was no meeting and no communication of any kind.
3. Karl Rove has not been indicted. He has not been told he has been indicted. He has not been told he is a target. His status remains unchanged.
4. Those reporting to the contrary are "bald-faced liars or completely delusional or both."
5. There have been no discussions of any deals whatsoever between Fitzgerald's team and Rove's team. Not once in all the years this has been going on.
6. Truthout does not have sources in position to know what they claim they were told. There is no one at Patton Boggs who provided this information. It's laughable. If any sources exist, they have lied to Truthout.
7. Corallo did give Marc Ash's phone number to Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post. He knew that Kurtz was writing a story about how the mainstream media had to "follow up on the lunacy and these frauds who are passing themselves off as legitimate journalists.""

LOL!

I read it. Yawn.

It would serve them all well to stop digging themselves in further, (amazing how they're able to do that without really saying anything at all) shut down shop for a while and take some remedial writing classes.

Now, for the important stuff: Where's Pitt? I miss Pitt. Does anyone have some older 3:00 in the morning drunken rants they could link for me?

I'm with you! If anyone finds other rants, please ping me as well.

On another note, did you guys see the post to lala earlier today where a DUmmie said Leopold used to write for Raw Story? I'll try to find it, it was pretty funny.

No Bostonian Idiot the past 88+ hours, since that mid-day appearance (after the drunken rant) with the truthout crowd near the middle of last week.

Over the past few days, when communicating with friends and alums all over the country, I asked them to do me a particular favor.

They didn't understand why, but they did it.

The Bostonian Idiot (under his real name) has now been "paged" in places such as a Wal-Mart near Richmond, Virginia, O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, a Village Inn in Denver, Colorado, O'Rourke's Bar in Lincoln, Nebraska, a Shopko near Detroit, Michigan, the state office building in Des Moines, Iowa; and so on and on.

The Bostonian Idiot hasn't answered any of them.

Here's the post from "demobabe" about lala and Leopold:

It would be NUTS NOT to question Leopold's articles, when he has a history of exactly the kind of problems he's having with the current article. It is interesting that Leopold is no longer writing for Raw Story - supposedly for "personal reasons" although three of his his stories he wrote for RS remain unsubstantiated.

To hand Leopold off to a competing website, and then sing the praises for the other website and Leopold suits you well: you can be oh-so-nice while you watch a known timebomb take down one of your main competitors. Yes, it is that transparent. You yourself criticize Leopold when it suits you.

Okay, the link finally worked, and will follow in my next comment.

The Bostonian Idiot revealed his source for the Karl Rove Nonindictment Nonstory as long ago as May 5, although this never got printed until May 8.

This is a long rant, covering everything from the Bostonian Idiot's concern for American soldiers have to beg for food from Iraqi civilians, to George Bush's pronuniciation of the word "nuclear," and other twiddletwat.

The key part:

.....I am not freaking out about the impending indictment of Karl Rove in the Valerie Plame investigation. I should be, but I'm not. The voices in my head tell me the indictment is coming soon, but I am holding it together. Hell, it's not like this is a big deal or anything. Valerie Plame was only running a CIA intelligence network dedicated to tracking the nuclear ambitions of Iran, and her exposure only annihilated a good portion of our ability to keep an eye on that situation. It's not like wrecking her career and exposing her position was a blow to national security or anything.....

I am truly concerned for the Bostonian Idiot.

I've seen a lot of wrecked lives (fortunately no family or friends) for the alcoholically-challenged.

I'm trying to reach out, to be sure the guy gets some intense mental help.

I actually have Pitt's cell phone number but am fighting the temptation to call him now.

Forgotten in this Hoaxmas scandal is that just a little over a week ago, Pitt gave a self-righteous lecture in morality to Richard Cohen.

Nah, I wouldn't do that.

The Bostonian Idiot is in such a fragile mental state that probably it's best for those close to him to deal with him.

It would be nice however to know if he's okay, and getting the help he so badly needs.
