William Rivers Pitt has finally rendered up a non-answer about his part in the Non-Indictment That Dares Not Speak Its Name. This was in response to a challenge from DUmmie kstewart33 who boldly asked in this THREAD, "William Pitt: How about an explanation?" Unfortunately for DUmmie kstewart33, Pied Piper Pitt responds with a lame non-answer as we shall see. I wonder if Pitt will be allowed to be so evasive if he is forced to take the stand if there is a criminal trial against his buddy, Jason Leopold, for making threats against various bloggers including, most notably, SEIXON. Remember, Pied Piper Pitt was in the forefront of vouching for the "noble" journalistic integrity of Jason Leopold and has acted as his chief enabler on the Web. Therefore it is to be expected that any criminal proceedings against Leopold must include Pitt on the witness stand. One can only hope that such a trial will be televised so we can watch the squirmings and evasions by Bukowski's most devout patron. As usual, the Pied Piper Pitt evasion is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, amused at the fact that Pitt placed his entire political cojones into the greasy palms of Jason Leopold, is in the [brackets]:
William Pitt: How about an explanation?
[I was DESPERATE to claw my way into fame. I figured that since it was a sure thing that Karl Rove would be indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald, why not announce it as a fact and then lay claim for this amazing scoop when it happened? Who knew that this could have completely backfired on me and now am so openly mocked by my fellow leftists that my only consolation is imbibing deeply of liquid refreshments nightly at Bukowski's?]
Now that you're posting again, might you give us all a full explanation of what happened concerning the Rove indictment/Jason Leopold/truthout fiasco several weeks back. You remember: the series of stories that had us all convinced that Rove would be indicted after 24 business hours or 48 or whatever?
[The indictment really happened. I just got a little ahead of the news cycle on that one. The indictment will be announced the moment the Great Pumpkin arrives.]
No fair sneaking back into the forums without telling all of us chumps what the heck happened.
[What happened is that I have gone from merely predicting indictments that didn't happen to prophesizing a grand apocalyptic End of the World VISION based on a complex series of events which must fit together perfectly like a vast jigsaw puzzle for it to happen.]
calling folks out is a no no.
[How dare you call on Pied Piper Pitt to account for making fools of us all.]
This is in bad taste. Regardless of the situation...
[Yecch! A fellow DUmmie seeks the truth. This is in bad taste.]
Thou shalt not ask for accountability...ye shall bow thy head and baa in acquiescence as does the rest of the DU flock.
[Ye shall bury thy head in the sand as does the rest of the DUmmie flock.]
Is this personal? Did he take away your virginity, or something?
[That is a question that might be asked in a courtroom concerning a certain Girls School scandal in Newton.]
Hey Bill- if you are reading this, somebody still loves ya, Baby!!!
[Is that you, Jason Leopold?]
I would venture to guess that Leopold was probably right and Death Star Cheney once again pulled off the impossible (to mere mortals) anyway. What HAVEN'T these assh*les gotten away with? Just sayin'.
[Yeah, Karl Rove really was indicted and Patrick Fitzgerald merely kept mum when Rove's lawyer lied about there being no indictment. It sounds like the Good Fairy Leopold has been sprinkling Pixie Dust on your brain.]
You should be ashamed for posting this. Will has done more for this party than you ever will.
[Absolutely. Will has done more to make the Democrats look like complete fools than you ever will. That videotape of the Michigan Democrats (including Hillary) standing up and cheering the Truthout announcement of the Rove indictment just can't be topped for sheer idiocy. Thanx, Will. You done GOOD!]
No one should ever be ashamed for wanting to know if information is true or not, and while I agree that Will Pitt certainly has every right, as much as anyone else to post here, I'd like to hear about that fiasco as well.. tho I imagine they might want to post it at their site and then link it here for us all to scratch our heads over
[They already did post an explanation at the TruthOut site. Karl Rove was really indicted but they just got ahead of the news cycle in announcing it.]
Will never claimed direct knowledge-he said he trusted the people whom claimed direct knowledge, as in "I doubt they are lying".....thereby lending his considerable weight to the story.As best I can guess,some deal was in fact arranged.Myself,I am tired of people that to this day post snarky stuff against both Leopold and TO.And to bring Will's credibility in when he was a character witness is unfair....till the entire cabal is taken down and the history is written, I'll abstain....
[According to Will himself, one of the sources that he trusted was Joe Wilson. And thanx for reminding us that Pitt was a character witness vouching for that font of journalistic integrity, Jason Leopold.]
Shameful violation of the rules. This will hopefully be locked VERY soon. SHAME on you.
[Shameful violation of DUmmieland rules. Seeking the truth. SHAME on you.]
Why don't we all just alert the mods.... I did. This is clearly against the rules.
[Clearly against the rules to seek out the truth in DUmmieland.... And now the moment we have all been waiting for. An uncharacteristically cryptic "explanation" from the Pied Piper himself. Heeeeeeeere's WILLLIIEEEEE!!!]
Ready?
I can't.
Not because I don't want to, or because there isn't a good one. I do and there is. But any and all information on this issue is going to come from Marc Ash, and he is my boss, and that's how it is. I am required to abide by the rules of my employer, and that's one of them.
Sorry.
And, P.S., I've been a member here since April of 2001, so I'm not sneaking anywhere.
[So there you have it. Pied Piper Pitt could easily give us an explanation about the Hoaxmas story but he can't because he must defer to that journalistic giant and fashion photographer, Marc Ash. If only fashion photographer Ash would give Pitt a deferment on the TruthOut rules, Pitt could explain the whole thing thus lifting the weight that is crushing his political career that never happened.]
Locking. Calling out another member is against the rules. Also, in the future, if you see something like this, please just hit the Alert button instead of telling the poster why their thread will be locked. The mods will handle it.
[Locking. Also in the future, any thread daring to question Pitt about the Non-Indictment That Dare Not Speak Its Name will be instantly locked.]
Did he take away your virginity, or something? Those Newton school girls are always carping that Will never calls anymore.
So I was really 2nd, and you weren't...You really are brilliant...
Darn FReeper Troll!
It was some goof with the screen name Eschoir.
I don't know whats more embarassing - the fact that Truthout lied about the Rove indictment or the fact that they expect their readership to swallow this swill.
PJ - a plea for mercy! Please bring back Little Beaver as the header graphic for all DUFU posts. I have to remember to switch off pix in Firefox so as to avoid that upchuck inducing picture of Pitt.
There's nothing cryptic about this. It's "STFU! It's for me to know and you to find out" time. The PITT'ster is just making excuses to continue his silence. He'll do anything but come clean.
Yet it was perfectly ok for pitt to go on a drunken, profanity laced rant, insulting skinner and half the DUmmies. Their reasoning is so...well, unreasonable.
It's cryptic in that it's relatively brief.
I always found it, personally, amusing that liberals and Democrats, hearty enthusiastic proponents of "reason" and "logic" rather than "emotion," tend to practice the opposite of what they preach.
And consistency (along with reason and logic) does not prosper well in DUmmieland.
I gotcha!
That's one of the differences between FR and DU. We primarily post news from other places; "vanities" are rare even if it's somebody's own research just for FR.
Exactly! They believeeeee in Rove's indictment, and insist Cheney and Bush have committed crimes against America and humanity, all based on completely unsupportable information, yet see no irony in locking any thread that attempts to hold the PITT'ster accountable for his actions.
They are completely clueless!
Since you two seem to have the ability to stay sane in DU,
what's the take on sheehan buying land in Crawford?
Speaking of which, check out this thread on that subject. It seems the property was bought under false pretenses by another person 'representing' Sheehan...
It seems that you can't speak "truth to power" to Pitt and the liberals, but it's OK for them to do it to conservatives. Typical liberal hypocrites!
An interesting statement. Let's pretend that Crawford, TX is the DU community. If Crawford residents 'call out' this guy Fonseca on his deceitful purchase, Skinner - as mayor - would shut down the argument (lock the thread) because their reaction would break city (DU) rules.
I wonder if any of that would come up in a real DU thread about Sheehan and 'her' purchase?
LOL! Oh, that's a good one. DUmmies who are always bitching about the "Secrecy" of the Bush Administration when they're fighting to save your stinking DUmmie hides from Islamofascists who'd kill every one of them, sit back and let Pitt say "I can't" because someone higher up says so--no further explanation allowed.
I mean, he couldn't have given a more perfect answer.
It's the easiest out, the most obvious out, yet the perfect out. (I'm prohibited from mentioning anything about this by my boss). That pretty well lays to rest any further attempts at getting to the bottom of the issue; why bother? The onus is off the PITT'ster.
