Remember the dunking-kid meme from a couple of years ago? Little kid runs up to his tiny basketball hoop, dunks the ball, turns around to flex and holler. Meanwhile he doesn’t see that the whole backboard is wobbling and about to collapse on his head. When it does, he looks confused.
Congrats, New York Times! And Politico. And CNN. You’re all the Dunking Kids. You keep throwing down on the Trump administration. The backboard of truth keeps falling on your head. The rest of us laugh.
The New York Times just issued its most spectacular correction since my personal favorite, from Nov. 7, 2012: “An earlier version of this article misspelled the singer’s surname in a number of places. He is Bruce Springsteen, not Springstein.”
This Sunday’s correction cut the legs out from under its big Saturday scoop about a supposed new sex scandal about Brett Kavanaugh involving a woman who supposedly had Kavanaugh’s penis shoved into her hand when they were both at Yale. The Times’ gobsmacking correction noted that in the book from which its Saturday report was derived, “the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say that she does not recall the incident. That information has been added to the article.”
Backboard of truth meets skull.

Wasn't there an SNL spoof with Joe Piscopo as Frank Sinatra doing duets, and he introduces that kid "Bruce Springstein?"
It think it was the same skit where Sinatra also sings with Mr. Stingman.

You said this twice
And you are still full of shit
Not if you hold the spoon.
Some "correction". It's far worse than they admit. Not only does the "victim" not recall the incident, but not a single person who witnessed it could be found. Not. One. Witness. Sure, they found a lefty willing to say "I heard about it in the hallway", but none recall from who. None can name even a single person who saw it and remembers it. Second hand, third hand, no name attached to the "assailant", years after the alleged event. Vague memories of "hearing something like that".
Byron York destroys the whole "seven witnesses" crap here:
New Kavanaugh book says seven people back up Deborah Ramirez allegation. Who are they?
“Is anyone watching Lewandowski getting hammered by the Democrat s. Things aren’t looking good for him.”
BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHA, You are the most blatantly obvious concern troll I’ve seen on FR in some time.
Next time don’t keep repeating the same basic line on multiple threads and you won’t appear so ridiculously transparent.
As I said I’m not sure of the entire story of what Lewendowski was supposed to have done and when I tuned in at around 3:30 he seemed to be getting hammered. I’m about to call Nadlers DC office and give that fat piece of crap a piece of my mind.
You have been reported to admin pal. One only has to peruse your past commentary as it’s quite obvious.
You’re actually a rank amateur as some on here significantly more difficult to identify.
Oh and one more thing.....As opposed to the DU, we don’t tolerate that sort of language on this forum.
Biden says they go with facts not truth.
WOW, I thought it was just me.
I have been reading that posters opinions and they seem strange.
Wonder if he/she has an agenda.
Thanks for observing and posting.
The Left’s smear campaign is backfiring big time. Justice Kavanaugh should sue the NYT for $100-200 million.
Bwahahaha
I shouldn’t be laughing at that gif! It’s such a metaphor, I just can’t help it!
My grandmother of blessed memory used to say “Maybe that’ll knock some sense into him” when that kind of stunt happened. Didn’t work with O’Rourke. Dumb and dumber.
“The media has officially lost its damn mind”
No, they’ve just dropped the disguises; Rush couldn’t stress enough earlier this week that you can’t view them as “the media” - they are simply the public relations department of the Democratic Party. When seen in that light, it all makes sense - otherwise it is confusing.
“The saving grace of gettin to be an older guy...”
Older guy, whaddaya mean? I’m younger than......the Atlantic ocean?
