LEFTISTS ATTEMPT PARODY
Satire isn’t easy. Scroll through this collection of mock-conservative posts; struggle to locate even one that hits a target.
For me the best satire I’ve read were your posts on Jeff Gannon. “Yes, that Jeff Gannnon”. Especially the neocon meeting in which Karl Rove reached into the Doomsday box (or whatever) to retrieve the Top Secret plan to eliminate Democratic opposition. (Is that satire?) That was priceless. I wish you would do more of it. You have a gift for it.
I will say that Iowahawk (curls fingers in wriggly motion) has a gift for it as well. Great stuff. Lazy neocon. But great writer.

Now it’s trying to imitate RWDBs like me.
I’m flattered.
P.S. It has a really crappy server, and appears to have broken under the Timalanche.

LORD ROVE STRIKES AGAIN!!!! BUAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 12 07 at 11:31 PM • permalinkPixy Misa, it’s going to be very difficult to malign you if you keep displaying a) a sense of humour and b) literary talent. Sour negativity, dear, that’s the tone you need to develop.
PS: The Webdiarists have no bread?
Let them eat Bartleweet!Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2005 12 07 at 11:42 PM • permalinkO/T - anyone a bit bored go over to harold pinter.org. evidently he has won Nobel for literature and trotted out all the usual anti american clap trap and Bush and Blair are war criminals in his acceptance speech
Posted by the nailgun on 2005 12 07 at 11:54 PM • permalinkFinally got through to the server.....
Pretty pitiful. Leftist jargon (as per Pixy Misa), strident tones, and the attitude that “My opinions are facts, dammit!”

Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2005 12 08 at 01:56 AM • permalinkOK, what am I not getting? Where’s the satire? They really don’t get the rightwing’s self-effacing humor at all. In fact, what humor there is already belongs to the right, they’re just copying it...Whoa! That’s it! It’s a forgery. Or rather, it MAY be a forgery, but the information in it is beyond reproach!
Wow. That was like getting kicked in the teeth by Jesus! Now I understand why the Left thinks it is OK to forge something in order to prove that a forgery is factually correct. Wow. I’m just...humbled. Thanks, Tim.
I’ve posted a polite little comment suggesting that they may wish to actually talk to a conservative before engaging in random acts of verbal vandlism.

Posted by The Thin Man Returns on 2005 12 08 at 02:39 AM • permalinkYes. It’s the Left’s attempt at satire, but all they can think is, ‘...Forge it, forge it! That’s better than not forging it, and, having no original ideas of our own, having everyone think we’re not funny, init? Factually, we’re very funny, but we have no paperwork to prove it. So we have to forge it.’
#21. The right has Janet Albrechtsen and you have Margo. The right wins - you can go WAAHH!!
Posted by Lucky Nutsacks on 2005 12 08 at 03:45 AM • permalinkNailgun, they were running snippets of Pinter’s acceptance speech on BBC radio last night. BBC chose to include the bit where he mentions the ‘100,000 killed in Iraq’ figure, which has been discredited.
BBC, of course, allowed it to run unchallenged.
Posted by Flying Giraffe on 2005 12 08 at 06:04 AM • permalinkLP’s effort is kind of sad, really. I mean, they are trying for parody, but using long winded harangues full of self-pitying lefty terms, with a twee ‘see how clever we are’ twist just makes them look like tossers. Oh, wait…
2/10 effort: best anyone can really expect. They just cannot DO concise and cutting at all.

CanberraAnyway, if the Larvatus guys care for some pointers (and boy, do they ever need them), I’d suggest they look at the Jesus’ General blog. Not my cup of tea, for obvious reasons, but a) the guy writes pretty well, and b) he actually knows which buttons to push on us RWDBs.
La Streisand using “paradigms” in a sentence ... what can I add to something like that? It out-Herods Herod, whatever that means.
Posted by Stoop Davy Dave on 2005 12 08 at 03:14 PM • permalinkIs it just me or has the Larvatus site gone down?
