SCOOP!

Iowahawk uncovers crucial correspondence between blogger Amanda Marcotte and Senator John Edwards. Salty language warning.

  1. Language aside, that is the funniest set of emails I’ve ever read.  No doubt Iowahawk will be hearing from Amanda Marcotte’s effing lawyer forthwith.

  2. When reached for comment, Ms. Marcotte replied, “#$%*& fascisto-repugnican #$%@.  Down with the #$&@ing Patriarchy!”

  4. Only Iowahawk could successfully parody the, er, unparodyable. I wish he would reach down into his archives and haul out that hilarious story he wrote a couple of years ago about France being taken over by Sears (or was it Wal-Mart?).

  6. It sounds just like a liberal movie I saw recently, Fakes On A Plane, written by mo-fo MoDo if I’m not mistaken.

  8. Hehehehe…brilliant work.

    The only reason that Edwards wasn’t exposed in 2004 as the clueless windbag he is was that Kerry out-windbagged him at every opportunity. I’m looking forward to that oversight being corrected in the upcoming election campaign, with his ill-advised affilation to that idiot leftobot being just step one.

  9. WASHINGTON—Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Thursday he was personally offended by the provocative messages two of his campaign bloggers wrote criticizing the Catholic church, but he’s not firing them.

    That’s OK Silk Pony, you won’t be on any ticket anyway…Well unless you go slightly left of Hugo Chavez, that is. Then all my bets are off, you’re a shoe in.

    “Silk Pony”. Excellent!

    Wish I could take credit, oh fertile minded writer, but I believe Silk Pony was coined by someone at LGF, could even have been Charles, The Lizard King….lol.

    Guess I should have used R-circled or TM.

  12. That was fucking funny. Say what you will about Marcotte, there’s no denying she’s a real fashion plate. Love the purse.

    Yes indeed. That shot, must be of Edwards new mansion, the service entrance, of course.

    Reminiscent of The Biltmore servant areas, in Asheville, NC.

  14. Edwards is going to keep her. Good thing for us. She’ll go off the deep end soon enough.

    She’s like that, you know.

  15. John Edwards: Landgrabber and Anti-Papist. Sounds like a winning campaign slogan! All he needs now is for Cindy Sheehan to handle his speech writing, and William Arkin to take charge of troop-outreach, and his nomination is in the bag . . . so to speak.

  16. #15, and then, oh what a hue and cry from Ms. Marcotte that will be!  Why, the air from Washington DC to Charleston, SC will be positively blue, you bet.

  17. Yes?

  18. “Salty language warning”

    Tim, I know you’re going to laugh at me for being such an uncool fuddy-duddy, but I do like it that you still would not only not use the language yourself (except in rare, fully excusable contexts’), but that you’d warn others they’d encounter it. That you’d bother to *think* it something to warn about…well, I may be Generation X, but at least some of us are growing up. It’s nice to see you still have some dignity.

  19. Edwards (Silk Pony©®™just in case) hell, I’ll even toss in a couple of these ‰ (to read no sense)& this £ one, too is a beauty for sure.

    I immensely dislike his wife Elizabeth, she is further left, then the Silk Pony is. I’m glad she is in remission from her cancer, but still dislike her.

  20. Why has John Edwards appointed the ghost of Andrea Dworkin as his official blogger?

    Of course Edwards is unlikely to be embarrassed by this because he is a man who literally cannot experience shame, in 2004 he promised that people like Christopher Reeve would walk again if Kerry/Edwards won! He made his name as a trial lawyer by channelling fetuses in front of a jury!

    I think the report you are thinking of is France vs Texas High School

  22. #21 Cap’n: That one’s good, too, but he wrote an earlier one in which France is taken over by a big department store outfit. He wrote a hilarious short history of Europe using the lingo of retailer competition (e.g., WWII is described as Germany’s attempt to “increase shelf space”).

  24. rotflmao…Thanks J.M. and PW.

    Paco, you have the same flair and creativity. Jump in, my good man, jump in.

  25. #23: Thanks, PW! That - plus the Zarqawi letters, plus, well, everything he writes - is just flat out hilarious.

    #24: Thanks, El Cid. But he is The Master, by several orders of magnitude.

    With respect to this pirate thing: aren’t the anti-whaling vessels subject to confiscation, and the crews subject to prosecution? Under what jurisdiction would they be charged?

    But he is The Master, by several orders of magnitude.

    Yeah, ‘hawk is a master of his style. The “by several orders”.....Nah.

    Your style is different, but your talent is obvious.

  27. If you check out either of the two above IH links, scroll down and check the bottom section of Column Left for his ‘major’ compositions, such as Why I am a Democrat.

  29. This just goes to show how dull Austrailian politics really is. I am sure at least one or two political parties here, could if they tried, come up with a “go forth and multiply” gung-ho type of lass like Amanda. The liberal left, sure know how to attract the basic elements of human nature. Whew, imagine being married to it.
