Exhibit A: he thinks of lines like this before me:
“This is not the ACORN I knew.”
This is just too much fun.

…speaking of that Firedoglake post I linked to

concerning la-affair McCain/Johnson there is one other thing in the post worth noting:
Conservatives have nothing left but socialism…
“Conservatism” now isn’t about winning elections…
ah those Halacon days of April when Liberals thought one election added up to a permanent realignment.
No wonder they are still angry:
Of course, it is quite obvious right now that that’s not at all what the election was about. The Republicans had been screw-ups for a while, and with the failing economy (people tend to vote for the president based on the economy, which is only a tad smarter than voting based on the weather, but whatcha gonna do?), most people just felt they couldn’t reward the Republicans with leadership again. Also, many people were tired of the hostility between conservatives and liberals (though I’m not sure why Republicans got the blame, since we could have had bipartisanship if at any time liberals had decided to stop being a bunch of screeching ninnies who mindlessly opposed whatever Bush was for). Then came along Barack Obama, who promised non-specific hope and change, and everyone was like, “Non-specific hope and change sounds like a great idea!”
But now we can see the problem. After Barack Obama was elected, he started doing specific things. Liberal things. No one voted for that, so Obama’s approval ratings have dropped faster than those of any president before him. And you can see why liberals are so frustrated. They had a charismatic liberal overwhelmingly elected with Democratic majorities, and even he is utterly failing to sell liberalism to the American people.
This was the best chance they could ever possibly imagine, and it’s already pretty much over. Liberal ideas are still in the ghetto. While conservatives can still openly call themselves conservatives and argue directly for things they like (such as gun rights and free markets), liberals still have to run from their label and never dare say out loud the things they want
And I forgot about this part:
The far-left (like the Kos Kids) didn’t even like Obama in the beginning of the Democratic primary; they liked Edwards (because of how smart they are).
Well you can’t blame the Kos kids, after all the MSM covered Edwards the same way they covered Jones and Acorn.
Ah Memories….
How the Charles Johnson Robert Stacy McCain fight has changed (almost) changed the world

Firedoglake April:
or, Lord help ’em, Charles Johnson (to whom I will never link, even by bankshot).
Firdoglake yesterday:
It seems that the unlinkable Robert Stacy McCain has developed a worse case of the red-ass than usual because LGF’s Charles Johnson has been talking shit about him by calling a not-a-spade a not-a-spade.
You know you have fallen far when firedog lake backs you up, but one bit of advice for Tbogg. As Robert Stacy has pointed out his great grandfather was captured at Gettysburg, so putting Mr. McCain in a southern uniform is not going to insult him. Unlike a certain candidate, if he says he can no more disown someone than he can disown his own grandmother, he actually means it.
He still doesn’t link to Charles, that is a bridge too far for him. Unlike obliquely defending acorn.
Update: Ah two different diaries, that might make a difference.
Update 2: I can no more disown acorn…
How do you know when the president is in trouble?…..

…when an MSNBC show hits them for not appearing on Fox:
Cripes even the NYT guy on Morning Joe is saying this along with everyone else.
Of course I’m kinda tired so I might be dreaming but everything else seems real except for yesterday’s comeback. Cripes gonzo got the game winning hit.
I must be asleep, one of the newspapers on the morning paper list had a visible acorn story, sure it was in Pittsburgh but it counts.
