Bloggers Making Phone Calls (We can do that?): Trouble with that Boston Globe forgery-knockdown piece. ... Instapundit remains a good clearing house for the right-blogosphere's efforts in the developing CBS Monkeyfishing story. (The CBSers willl pay for that "pajama" crack.) ... P.S.: Sorry for all the ongoing kf font difficulties. I should have used a Selectric! 2:53 P.M.

"I did not insinuate that Mr. Buckhead knew about the documents beforehand, given that CBS posted them as they went on the air at 8pm ET and 8pm PT.

Please refer to him as Mr. Buckhead in the future.

[Casloy]

dammit, put a warning on those things. Spewed coke all over my keyboard.

[BunnySlippers]

Haha!

[tsmith130]

TOO FUNNY!

The blogosphere is having a very good time with the pajama meme. We need to update the "don't pick a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel" aphorism to reflect the new reality. Maybe, "don't pick a fight with someone who has 100,000 visitors a day."

Also starring James Carvill as John Dean. An idealist who finally broke and explained to the world just how high the scandal went.

I think you mean "James Carville as the John Dean-like figure who didn't want to end up as the symbolic b*tch/court jester imprisoned in the 'Hillary for President '08' campaign, and therefore cut a deal with FNC to rat out the bozos who created forged AFNG memos".

Actual - non-forged or manipulated, promise! - transcript of Dan Rather and his cohorts being grilled by the New Media.

Dan Rather : "The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with the facts; we did. (winks) But you can't hold a whole Network responsible for the behavior of a few sick, perverted individuals."

"For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole Broadcast Network system? And if the whole Broadcast Network system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our [educational] Big Media institutions in general?" (the other MSM members cheer; Dan addresses the New Media directly)"

"I put it to you, Pajama-wearing New Media slime. Isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? (the CBS 'bitches' cheer again)"

"Well, you can do what you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you bad-mouth the United States of America! "

"Gentlemen!" (Dan and Old Media march from the room)

[hexpoppy]

[pointsal]

Great fake, PING

[badgerlandjim]

Careful Dan - here comes the "A" team...

[MaryFromMichigan]

Wild applause!

[CharlotteVRWC]

"dammit, put a warning on those things. Spewed coke all over my keyboard."

Better word that as 'coca cola' or you'll be branded a druggie in pj's....

[CharlotteVRWC]

Great pic....ROFLIMP Again!

[Mamzelle]

Pajama-wearing...LOL...it'd be fun to see Dan freeped by a gang in PJs, chenille bathrobes and fuzzy animal slippers. Schools like to have jammy day, why not freepers?

[BunnySlippers]

Watch it bunnyslippers! You are obviously a kingpin in this Pajama People conspiracy! Your Screen Name is a dead give away!

Hahaha ,,, may as well be Karen Hughes.

[Mamzelle]

Deep Buckhead

[foreshadowed at waco]

ROFLIMP! (Rolling on the Floor Laughing in My Pajama's!!!)

Classic--I may use this in the future--too good to let it go!

Hey Jim, Would you consider marketing a line of Freeper Pajamas? L0L

You know, tasteful....just the FR logo on the breast pocket ;^)

[Senator_Blutarski]

And perhaps a tasteful "Kiss my a%% leftist dogs" on the seat?
