On Saturday night, attorney Robert Luskin was trying to barbecue at his Washington home when the phone started ringing nonstop. A story posted on an Internet site Truthout.org reported that his client, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, had been indicted.

I've been covering this False Fitzmas stories in the DUmmie FUnnies and it has spread WAY BEYOND what I have imagined. It has now entered the territory of the surreal. Ah! Sweet Freudenschade! (You need to read yesterdays edition of the DUmmie FUnnies to understand the meaning of that last word.)

1st :-)

[TheRobb7]

2nd??
3rd??

Top 10 atleast???

[Incorrigible]

Congrats PJ!!

Please include a link to yesterday's thread!

[PJ-Comix]

The denials set off a round of blogging. One site said Mr. Leopold was the victim of White House disinformation.

This HAS to be a reference to DUmmieland where they are now blaming Rove for feeding disinformation about his own indictment to Jason Leopold.

What I feel now is

Freudenschade!!!

[martin_fierro]

Jason Leopold: "I reported it, now you disprove it."

[dynoman]

This whole fiasco is a very good example of the psychomyopia and psychoglaucoma of the left.

Unbelievable how they so strongly assume it is truth before it is proven to actually be true.

[Petronski]

You should put a definition of Freudenschade here in this thread. It's hilarious.

Pitt and Leopold are laughingstocks again, even in DU.

[shezza]

This HAS to be a reference to DUmmieland where they are now blaming Rove for feeding disinformation about his own indictment to Jason Leopold.

So now they're claiming they're just a bunch of DUpes? Rove is just too dang clever for them, I guess.

"The system for keeping unverifiable reports out of the news is totally broken down when you look at the online world," says Jay Rosen, a professor of journalism at New York University. . .

So--If you misrepresent the facts or, better yet, totally fabricate them, and you're a J-school graduate, no problem.

But--If you're a conservative blogger, you're pond scum.

Bump for later read

freudenschade

n. suffering due to the joys of others. Not to be confused with schadenfreude...

:)

[PJ-Comix]

The best definition of "Freudenschade" (the gloomy feeling of eating crow after prematurely celebrating something that doesn't happen) can be found in this song by Tin Pan Alley songmeister, Charles Henrickson (to the tune of "Edelweiss"):

Freudenschade, Freudenschade,
DUmmie joy bears repeating;
Pop champagne, feel no pain--
Only thing, it's so fleeting.

Make 'em eat crow and the gloom will grow,
Gloom will grow and sour.

Freudenschade shoots its wad
In less than twenty-four hours.

[George W. Bush]

You guys are gonna make Chrissy Matthews cry.

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

think the Dummies will self destruct or eat their own?

[PJ-Comix]

Also Freudenschade could be malicious joy at the SPECIFIC misfortune of the Leftists celebrating prematurely only to have to eat crow later.

Will Ppitt to Skinner yesterday;

52. Dear Skinner Updated at 1:42 PM

....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 fucked 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.

-----------------------------------------------------

Notice the actual truth of the matter has no importance at all, just "standing by" Pitt and the other daydream believers.

What a clear example of the subjective, blindered, emotional "thought" process of the left.

I knew the story was false. I knew that Rove had an appointment to have the hurricane machine in for seasonal overhaul,so he had the proof,the alibi.
