Politics: I won’t back down, part 3: Shirley Sherrod’s Breitbart lawsuit

  • This oughta be a fun lawsuit. And Sherrod plans to make the most of it. When asked about it at a meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists in San Diego, she said she definitely would, adding this little bit at the end: “What do I have to be afraid of?” This led to this downright classic near-instant response from Brent Bozell of the Media Research Council and Breitbart precursor Newsbusters: “Andrew Breitbart is going to be fine. He’s done nothing wrong. I wonder if Ms. Sherrod, who is such a champion of transparency, will publicly disclose who is putting her up to this.” OMG shut up nobody cares douchebag. source

Culture: Conan’s getting screwed, and they don’t know why he’s so mad

  • “It’s completely wrong, uncalled for, and I don’t quite know where it’s coming from.” This is what Entertainment Weekly’s unnamed source said about Conan’s recent outbursts on the network over the last few days. May we explain it to you idiots who run the NBC network?
  • 1. You gave him seven months to run a show that had been run by his predecessor for seventeen years. And you put his predecessor in prime time, which ruined the ratings, of everything that came afterwards. Idiots.
  • 2. Your ratings were completely screwed up, and you then decided to make Conan the fall guy, and expect him to take it lying down. He didn’t.
  • 3. You didn’t let him bring innovative sketches like the Masturbating Bear (right, thanks to Robert Simmons for the illo) onto your show. You neutered him. Now, he wants out. What is wrong with you jerks that you have to blame Coco for your failings? Team Conan for life! source

Offbeat: Oh no! Douchebags are “taking back” the word!

  • What a bunch of douchebags. They claim they’re fresh, however, but this makes us want to come up with a new word to scorn them. What a bunch of santorum.
