Former Edwards Blogger Amanda "Milky Load of God" Marcotte: Edwards' Affair Is Irrelevant. Let's Get Back to the Real Issues, Like John McCain's Divorce
Bonus: David Shuster Goes Extra Mile for Edwards, Trying to Out-Cocksucker Him; Succeeds

No, really.

It's official: The Clinton Playbook is being run, exactly like it was last time.

Party like it's 1997!!!

Thanks to DrewM.

Whoops! Purple Avenger just linked this post. But he cut something different from the post. I'm letting this sorta-double-post lie. I like DrewM's snark, too.

Vid of David "Sucker of Cock" Shuster: The media has two jobs here, which I've been seeing all day.

Job One: Reassure the public you knew all about this and are hardly surprised, because you don't want them to think you're so out of the fucking loop this snuck up on you. So everyone's in "Oh, of course I knew, it was all so obvious!" in-the-know cool-kid mode.

Job Two: The trickier one-- attempt to explain how it can be you knew all about this but didn't report it, or bother to do the minimum threshold of follow-up. Bear in mind, the National Enquirer is a small outfit. When they assign three or four people to a story, that's a substantial fraction of their entire component of reporters and photographers.

It's nothing for a network news organization to assign three or four people to a story -- they've got hundreds of unpaid interns chomping at the bit to do something besides edit and fetch coffee, for God's sakes. So even if they didn't want to send a reporter, they could have sent a dozen recent graduates out there to get the story... which they would have gotten. This was not exactly a Phillip Marlowe murder mystery here.

Note that Job One and Job Two are basically impossible to square in any satisfactory manner. But they're quite righteous and smugly self-complimentary about both.

In this video, David Shuster lets everyone know he knew allllll about this way before the Iowa primary, but failed to report on it -- or, apparently, follow up at all-- because "credible sources" within John Edwards' camp assured him the story was garbage and that he'd be embarrassed to report it.

"You're only as good as your 'sources' are," Shuster says. Well, Dave, your sources are apparently shit, buddy, and you're so fucking credulous, stupid, or in the tank you deem them "very credible." So I guess you're not that good, eh?

Unable to let it stand there -- with David Shuster looking pretty bad -- he goes on to say how goshdarn angry he is about being lied to by his very credible people/crochet club buddies.

It's their fault, you know.

Which is odd.

Edwards' people were just doing their job. They did their job well.

It was Shuster who failed to do his job.

Why are they to blame? They never held themselves out as disinterested parties or objective observers. They're supposed to be invested in their client's/friend's future.

It's Shuster, and the rest of his sucker-of-cock buddies in the media, that fell on their smug, soft faces here.

And it's insulting to hear them all whine about being "used."

And of course then Shuster turns around and reasserts his superiority as a journalist over those working at the National lEnquirer, even while conceding they somehow stupidly blundered into getting the story right, while Genius Journalist David "Sucker of Cock" Shuster was all righteous and ethical and brilliant while gettign it completely wrong.

MSNBC should cut an advertisement from that last interview. "Watch MSNBC-- We're too damned smart and professional to get stupid 'news' right."

Comments

1 Are you somehow (in a roundabout way) suggesting that Shuster performs fellatio?  Why be so coy about it?

2 So not only are they no longer even pretending to be unbiased, now they're trying to make it seem as if their bias is a good thing.  Sheesh.

The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew had this one solved by page five.

4 If Schuster has a beard, I'm pretty sure it looks like a glazed donut by now.

8 David Schuster is an ass - he embarrassed himself reporting Rove's "sealed vs. sealed" crap with flimsier sources obviously, but he wouldn't report on this because Edwards aides assured him it wasn't true?

Yeah, biased and stupid.

Posted by: Topsecretk9 at August 08, 2008 06:54 PM (h/IJT)

9 Shuster didn't fail to do his job, he chose not to do his job. There's a difference.

MSNBC forgot rule number 1. It's not the crime, it's the coverup.

Obvious:  The MSM position is that Edwards was sleazy here, but after all, he IS a trial lawyer, so being a sleaze wasn't really news

Nice to see that Marcotte is still batshit insane.  All this talk of "change" gets annoying after a while.

Needless to say, she didn't bring up what Edwards had to say about Clinton's infidelity when she claims that it only matters if there's hypocrisy involved... and by their very nature, any Republican who has a moral failing of any sort is a hypocrite. 

Doesn't count for Dems, because they are apparently above such concepts as morality.

Posted by: Hollowpoint at August 08, 2008 07:13 PM (plsiE)

12 Did I just read that right?  Marcotte has just advocated a behaviour that she previously keelhauled men for?

Hey Amanda!  Go eat a dick!

Hypocrite much?

Posted by: Topsecretk9 at August 08, 2008 07:24 PM (h/IJT)

16 Who gives a damn?

The only reason Republican trysts, infidelities and gay sex scandals are interesting and newsworthy is because of the hypocrisy involved in relation to the party image and platform. Democrats don't run as the party of god or god's morality... they don't push or intitiate legislation that marginalizes people and their rights based on sexuality, they don't wave a banner of 'family values' or proclaim that marriage = one man, one woman. They don't try to push religious mumbo jumbo into public school curriculums.

You guys do. And then you go and try to solicit blowjobs in airport bathrooms. You cheat on your wives and divorce them while they are in the hospital.

That's why your personal failings are important politically. Because you demagogue and govern and divide based on things you can't live up to.

Posted by: Sisyphus at August 08, 2008 07:30 PM (XwVPg)

17 Sisyphu,

It must be so gratifying to be a devotee of a political party whose basic stance is, "Morality? We don't even try to live by any moral standards".

That's really fucking impressive.

Sisyphus

shouldn't you be out blowing Obama supporters right now?

Posted by: Jones at August 08, 2008 07:34 PM (KOkrW)

19 Yeah, nice try.

Good thing that 99% of America is not that delusional.  The character of a person that will be making decisions for all of us is always a front and center issue.

Deluded much?

Posted by: mesablue at August 08, 2008 07:35 PM (5yNaE)

20 Sisy-

I would call you as dumb as a box of rocks but that would be insulting to boxes and rocks everywhere.

Edwards has made a living as televangelist without a pulpit, channeling dead kids to win cash and using his dying wife as a campaign prop. He is a scumbags scumbag and was long before this story broke.

All this has done is reinforce, as you admit, that Dems are morally bankrupt douchebags and the msm is complicit in their actions. And you, you are too stupid to even understand that while we hold our politicians to a high standard we are also the first to dump them when they turn out to be trash. We are just enjoying the shit out watching you dirtbags beclown yourselves trying to pretend that none of this matters and you are somehow morally superior.

Blow me you dirtbag.

Posted by: JackStraw at August 08, 2008 07:38 PM (VBon8)

21 Let's be honest. Pretty much every Democratic woman that's not 100% Rosie Diesel ... IYWIMAITTYD ... wants to bang a powerful Democratic leader.

So, they all want to be Rielle Hunter. I'll leave the judgment of where Shuster fits to others.

Posted by: whiskey at August 08, 2008 07:40 PM (4878o)

22 Democrats don't run as the party of god or god's morality

Sisyphus,

Here's a quiz for you. Which candidate for President said the following?

I don't think separation of church and state means you have to be free from your faith. My faith informs everything I think and do. It's part of my value system. And to suggest that I can somehow separate and divorce that from the rest of me is not possible. I would not, under any circumstances, try to impose my personal faith and belief on the rest of the country. I don't think that's right. I don't think that's appropriate. But freedom of religion doesn't mean freedom from religion. And I think that anything we can do to promote the idea that people should express their faith is a good thing.

Leave you guess in a comment. I'll let you know if you're right or wrong.

Posted by: DrewM. at August 08, 2008 07:40 PM (hlYel)

23 So, Democrats are ethically rudderless powermongers whose word can't be trusted.  And Sissy sees this as a feature, rather than a bug.  I'm glad he made that clear.

Drew M.,

Don't leave a quote dangling and ask a weasel (sisyphus) to "leave his guess in the comments".  GIVE ME THE DAMN ANSWER, or I send guido out to breaka yo face!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Codekeyguy at August 08, 2008 08:20 PM (+WuRB)

25 Well since Sisyphus doesn't have the balls to come back to defend his idiocy and Codekeyguy asked so nicely, I'll let you know the answer is...John Edwards.

I've noticed that when one of our guys gets caught with his pants down the response from AoS is pretty much, "Oh, man.  This is the last thing the GOP needs.  Why are our guys so damned stupid?"

When it's one of theirs, the Left freaks out and reacts by angrily hurling invective and stubbornly asserting whatever weak defenses spring to mind, even when they contradict one another. Their arguments are disengeniuous, but their anger is 100% real.

It's so damned personal with them.  Hey guys, relax.  He's a scumbag politician. We've got 'em, too.  Yours got caught this time.  We get to have fun for a couple days, then we'll be bickering over something else.  Get over it.

"He's a scumbag politician." You repeat yourself.

28

Sissy: "And then you go and try to solicit blowjobs in airport bathrooms"

JackStraw: "Blow me you dirtbag."

I'm guessing the reason Sissy hasn't said anything to back up his inane argument is that his mouth is currently elsewise employed.

So, Jack? Was that worth the $3.41 in loose change you paid for it?

@28: I guess Sisyphus raised his rates - last time he settled for 6 Bazooka Joe comics and an old book of Green Stamps.
