Conservative Bloggers Blow Gaskets; Panties Also Reported To Be in "Bunch"

An ADVOCATE EDITORIAL

Q: Presume, for a moment, the existence of an article whose author terms a recent political scandal "shameless," "contemptible," "deeply contemptible," "deeply offensive," "vicious," "virulent," "low-life," "incoherent," "depraved," "inexplicable," "embarrassing," "senseless," "stupid," "stunning," "stupidly stunning," "unprovoked," "bottomless depravity," and "undignified."

Now, which political scandal would you presume this author was discussing?

<snip>

It's just conservative internet blunderbuss John H. ("The Hindrocket") Hindraker (of Powerline infamy), complaining about "gay activist" John Aravosis and the progressive internet media's coverage of...well, you know, how a gay whore using a false name and pretending to be a journalist managed to subvert ultra-stringent White House security procedures to get within ten feet of a sitting President, while real reporters from real news organizations with real journalistic integrity waited with noses plastered up against the front door of the White House to ask the President an honest question.

<snip>

To hear Hindraker tell it (and we really, really do hate to hear him "tell it"; Hindraker, like our News Editor, attended both Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School, and embarrasses each of these two august institutions every time he turns his computer on) Jeff Gannon (or James Daniel Guckert, or James Dale Guckert, or "The Bulldog," or J. Daniels, or whatever) is just:


<snip>

Then consider the following after-the-fact evidence which suggests (as we say in the law, don't we, John?) "consciousness of guilt": GOPUSA's spokeswoman says she won't discuss Jeff Gannon with the press; GOPUSA founder Bobby Eberle won't discuss Jeff Gannon with the press; GOPUSA and Talon News have inexplicably wiped all Jeff Gannon material from their respective websites; Jeff Gannon has (it seems, wholly unnecessarily) shut down his own website and wiped all its content; the Republican Party of Texas has denied knowing prominent Republican activist Eberle, despite the fact that he's been on their committees and won awards from them; John Thune, Republican Senator, has hired for his Washington staff the South Dakota blogger (and apparent Gannon cohort) he paid off when he was a candidate; and Scott McClellan, Ari Fleischer, and even (through McClellan) President Bush have all denied know Eberle, despite the fact that Eberle served on the Board of Directors of a Texas foundation with Bush and was a Texas Delegate to Bush's presidential nomination at the 2000 RNC Convention in Philadelphia.
