Mary Mapes, the former CBS News Sixty Minutes producer who lost her job in the wake of the Rathergate scandal has published an essay entitled The Monster is Dying at the Huffington Post celebrating the pending victory of Barack Obama and the demise of her conservative internet tormenters, including Free Republic.
Mapes likens the domination of conservatives and the McCain-Palin campaign to Fifties sci-fi flicks where the mad scientist gets it in the end but the pretty female assistant survives.
Mapes, who was fired after forged documents were used in a Sixty Minutes hit piece on President George W. Bush in September 2004 in an effort by CBS News to undermine Bush's re-election bid, mocks Republicnas for using "phony" imagery and "bogeymen."
An excerpt from Mapes' gloat-fest:
Americans aren't responding to the old plays -- the fake fears, the faux outrage, the conservatives who yell "Communist" at the news cameras, the pompous right-wing bloggers who once held such sway.
I know all too well how scary and effective these old tactics were in 2004.
Today, they are toothless.
Ha, ha.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing once swaggering players like Powerline, Free Republic and Little Green Footballs forced onto the sidelines, left to limply watch this campaign pass by like a parade in which they play no meaningful part.
They just don't matter anymore.
President Bush asked me to give you this message.
The Vast Ring Conspiracy is warming up it's engines,

Ready for the rubber room Mary?
Forget that there are off-shoring opportunities for sites such FR and many others.
Speaking of Dan-O... how many people watch you on HD-NET... one or two (one would be your a$$ kisser Mark Cuban and two would be you... possibly)?
My great wish is for Mary Mapes to get all she desires.
Mary Mapes Alert!
And Aerosmith sings "Dream on, dream on, dream on..."
Another lunatic irrelevant liberal projecting. *YAWN*
Ultra-mega Guilty.
Ya think Mapes and the other trolls want to push thrid party on us? Who da thunk it? (You are so right, Always right.)
bump
As if it wasn’t clear already, this little rant basically obliterates any credibility she had as an “objective” journalist in the mainstream media. It makes you wonder how many other Mary Mapes there are out there producing for MSM broadcasts.
What a dope this woman is.
The irrelevant discussing irrelevance. How sweet!
Bitter, dishonest and rabidly partisan is a horrible way to go through life.
When McCain wins, her whole world will crash.
HAHA.
Mary got so PWNT by FReepers. LMAO Haha that victory is gonns feel just as good decades from now.
She is starting to sound like the Captain Bogart played in the Caine Mutiny.
Great song.
Dear Mary Mopes,
Reports of our demise are greatly exaggerated as the coming
election results will soon prove, yes mary we have stolen
another one, snatching victory from the chads of defeat yet
again. Oh, and thank you mary for your help in getting electronic voting into even more states. Bwhahahhah.
Signed Tet68 your new FReeper Overlord.
If Mccain wins then she will need to be institutionalized
