STUCK ON GOBBLE
Some 829 days since the first fake turkey day, and William Rivers Pitt is still celebrating:
So much for all of Mr. Bush’s canned, choreographed, fake-turkey photo-ops with the soldiers.
Pitt is deeply concerned over the lies surrounding the Iraq war. He is also—chuckle—a political analyst with the Institute for Public Accuracy.

1. It’s just the gift that keeps on giving.
2. The whole point of the Big Lie technique is to repeat the Big Lie often enough that people simply give up on arguing with it…

Posted by Susan Norton on 2006 03 06 at 11:59 AM • permalinkWord is that William Rivers Pitt has also recently secured secret memos from a former CBS producer about Bush’s Texas Air National Guard (TANG) service.
Posted by perfectsense on 2006 03 06 at 12:48 PM • permalinkI clicked on the link, and the photo is interesting. Pitt seems to be slowly sinking in a river choked with slabs of ice. Possibly he suffers from extremely high fevers brought on by malaria, and this is the only way he can get relief (that, and writing feverish nonsense).
I don’t mean to be disrepectful to my betters. Undoubtedly, Pitt’s experience as a high school English teacher makes him uniquely qualified to speak with superior insight on political issues, not to mention on fake fake-poultry matters.
A century and a quarter from now, this plastic-turkey-fable will still be in heavy circulation amongst fundamentalist leftists. Doubt it?

Here we areAt Rachel Corrie’s Pancake Breakfast
Where I spread the margarine
across the platter near and far
like some one-man machine.I saw a handsome Code Pink lady
Make her entrance like a queen
While she was her own ego ideal
And her old man was a spalpeen.As she abused a plastic turkey
And said, “Why don’t you treat me mean?”
At Rachel Corrie’s Pancake Breakfast!
Where I squished the margarine.By the bye, maybe I mispresume all to be familiar with Zappa’s “St. Alfonzo’s Pancake Breakfast”
http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/lyrics/Apostrophe_(’).html#AlfonzoThe truth of the plastic turkey is out there, you just have to dig. The problem is that W tried to pass off this resin model of the extinct Phororhacos as a plastic turkey. So what we’re really talking about is not a fake turkey, but a fake plastic turkey.
OT but what’s with the latest crusading blogad, that’s curiously enough, perched on the left side of Tim’s blog?
Sheesh! There isn’t even a hint of ‘filthy udder’ in the latest one.
”...doctrinal Christendom now on notice”
Translation: What a brave MENSA to suffer so for his artistic leap onto the DaVinci bandwagon.
Someone actually chose that blurb as an endorsement.
I’m beginning to grasp why the post-modern devolutionaries seem to be losing the plot (and culture share, and elections).
They spend so much time, energy, and re$ource$ trying to convince evil RWDBs (AKA - the masses) to convert to nihilism, that their “meticulously researched” jalopy of a ‘revolution’ just sputters along in a puff of bong smoke.
...And the best part is that Grandmaster Rove and Wronright have somehow convinced them to pay for the privilege.
Anyway, do fake plastic turkeys live in fake plastic trees?
By pointing out that public intellectuals don’t check their facts, Blair is clearly trivialising our discourse.
It seems to me that sometimes Blair wilfully uses his own blog to post things of his own choosing.

You can’t make this stuff up.
Posted by Ernst Blofeld on 2006 03 06 at 06:09 PM • permalinkMy weekly O/T critique finds a tenuous home in this thread.
Watching Media Watch
Story 1: Country newspaper front page advertorials.
Reasonable story, but missed the boat. Sinning newspaper had already confessed & changed ways
Story 2: Channel 7 sponsoring attacks on whaling boats
Excellent story - revealed something we didn’t know and appalling behaviour by mainstream media
Story 3: Macdonald’s and children’s television
Good initial point, but stupid, conspiratorial conclusion against a traditional Media Watch enemy
Story 4: Non disclosure of contributors’ connections to the story
Fair enough but one wonders about the examples they chose to run
Story 5: Fred Nile & leak sources
A “so what?” story
Media Watch journos protecting journo mates. If there’s one constant weakness through years of Media Watch (besides strong left wing bias which MAY be weakening this year), it’s the fact that the Journos Club is protected and defended at all times.An average show. Not as good as last week’s, but still improving over last year etc.

Posted by Margos Maid on 2006 03 07 at 01:34 AM • permalinkOh Gusty, Gusty, would someone please let Gusty out of the cage?
Can’t we have some real troll action around here?

Don’t you have more important things to write about than this plastic turkey thing?
