Kaloogian blames his lie on webmaster

[DaveJ]

I predicted it and I was right. Kaloogian blames his fake photo on his webmaster.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12071317/site/newsweek/

"We turned over literally hundreds of photos to our Webmaster, and apparently he chose one from the Istanbul layover."

He had his webmaster select the photo from a stack of hundreds? Ya right. The webmaster wasn't there, he apparently was in the states here working for a living. How could Kaloogian expect the webmaster to select the right photo?

A con blaming someone else for his mistakes once again. Typical.

2. Keep digging Kaloogy !

[DaveJ]

5. How could it be their fault?

The only way they can justify passing moral judgment on others is by pretending that they never do anything wrong.

It's a shame that those who are honest end up taking the blame.

[GregD]

3. yup, typical

I'm a webmaster. If my client sends me content and images, I make damn certain that I'm putting the correct images together with text.

I was about to say "especially for a campaign site", but I'm not giving him any slack. He may have had thousands of images, but that image was not a mistake. You combine the peaceful image and the text that accuses the media of over-stating the threat in Baghdad, and it makes no sense. They did this on purpose.

He's a fucking liar.

[Atman]

4. His selection of a replacement photo says it all

If he really had "hundreds" of photos showing how calm and safe Baghdad was, why did he replace the street scene with the one taken from a mile away, from atop a hotel in the green zone? There must have been at least one photo out of those hundreds which was similar to the calm, peaceful Istanbul street scene, right?

Kaloogian is simply another low-rent GOP liar.

[DaveJ]

6. Best photo they could find out of hundreds...

There is not much of a point that could be made from this photo. And we are supposed to believe his fake photo wasn't intentional? Ya, right.

[Canuckistanian]

7. He's like a sad magician at a kid's party

His trick didn't work, all the kids are groaning and the room is quickly emptying...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

8. Yeah, and out of those "hundreds" of photos they could only get that one

lame aerial view, LOL. Right.

[gratuitous]

9. Oh c'mon! It was Clinton and you all know it

Just admit that it was the evil genious Bill Clinton who switched those pictures, and all will be back to norbal in right wing la-la land.

[BrewerJohn]

10. This is what, his third different excuse now?

Pathetic.

[benburch]

11. He never had an Istanbul layover.

THAT IS A LIE TOO.

[wtmusic]

12. I thought the photo had been identified as that of another photographer?

:shrug:

[Call Me Wesley]

56. Nobody found the original pic that appeared on his site yet,

which was this one:



But someone found a similar one from a Turkish photographer showing the same place:



We don't know who actually took the original pic. But on a side note, the new pics on his website under the section 'Howard in Iraq ...' show pictures from Tampa, Florida. ;)

[wtmusic]

70. Is he just geographically-challenged

or does this reveal deep-seated emotional issues?

Too funny.

66. Looks like the Freeptards were here!

Sorry I missed it!

I needed a good laugh this morning.

[malaise]

14. Question

Are you telling me that he didn't check the website all this time and realize that it was the wrong photo. He only discovered this error when it is exposed? Yeh right.
That means one of two things - he did not take the photo of downtown Iraq or he is a fugging liar. Yes, he is a fugging liar.

25. Gonna ask her for a donation Kalooio?

Write her. Go ahead. And be sure to include your address and phone number.

:rofl:

[dogday]

31. What a Moran???????

[malaise]

38. I didn't post a fake photo

Fork that FRAUD. Indeed why don't you stick a FORK in him.

[LostinVA]

43. He hasn't been TSed yet?

Mr. Scorpio, you KNOW you bought those BDUs online.

Hey, Freeper Scum: BDUs mean "Battle Dress Uniform." You know, what real soldiers wear???

[Azathoth]

15. Ah, the party of personal responsibility strikes again n/t

[ShortnFiery]

16. With right wing nutcases it's always someone else's fault ...

Me thinks these privileged people NEVER made it though adolescence. You know the time when you are emotionally stunted and it's everyone else's fault?

Nope, like Laura failed her twins, there were never any repercussions for these wingers behavior when they were young.

We need adult (non-corrupt) politicians, not arrogant liars such as Kaloogian. What a shame, Momma didn't love you enough to punish you ... to force you to face your faults and take responsibility for your mistakes. :puke:

22. I love the smell of burning Freeper Troll in the morning...

[LostinVA]

35. That was fun... even if the post that started it wasn't

I need another cup of tea.....

[Fleshdancer]

37. you know....

if all that other crap was there without that disgusting first post that started it, I would just have assumed someone from the lounge was trying to have fun at the expense of GD. The "not a freep you creep" thing was HILARIOUS!

[KitchenWitch]

39. I know just what you mean!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

40. His rhyming skills were almost as good as Forrest Gump's.

[MrScorpio]

[Fleshdancer]

61. HAHAHA!!! From reading that thread....

I'm going to agree with burythehatchet...only Vulcans make decent spocksmen. I wonder if Cindy Sheehan thought long and hard about becoming a Klingsman or a Borgsman?

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

62. I was laughing for hours when I read that thread.

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

[Starbucks Anarchist]

64. I was about to post a joke...

involving a type of topping and my generosity, but I won't defile this thread any more than it already is.

:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

65. What restraint you have!

:evilgrin:

[npincus]

67. I wonder what the scapegoated webmaster has to say?

I wonder if there WAS a trip to Istanbul. That photo was taken by an entirely different person, was it not?

[benburch]

68. Whatever they tell him to say.

He works for a professional liar after all.

[EstimatedProphet]

69. Mistake, my ass!

that was a blatant LIE. He had every intention of using that photo just as he did use it, and he's trying to cover his lying ass because he got caught out.
