1. I thought it bizarre
that they honored him with an interview. Maybe if they had actually been covering the story it would have made more sense to me..

2. He's been made over
by the NY Times. Just look at the photo! They did a ruddy good job of making him look like Joe Clean. :puke:

3. examples so you don't have to register, nutjob JimmyJeff
Q. What are we supposed to make of the fact that before reporting for Talon News, you had never had a job in journalism and apparently earned your living running a gay escort service?

A. Don't let that confuse the issue. We have driven so many good people from public service through the politics of personal destruction. People on the left who disagreed with me decided that I needed to be punished by any means necessary.

Q. Still, it seems fair to ask about your position on gay marriage.

A. My position is that I can't imagine that gay marriage would be something that I would be interested in in the first place. I actually like being alone. I have decided that is how I want to live. I have a dog named Winston. I am still the same to Winston, no matter what, and there is comfort in that. Winston doesn't watch the news.

Q. But for those of us who do watch the news, are you interested in defending one's right to pose in the buff, as photographs on the Internet indicate you have done?

A. We do have tremendous freedoms in this country, and one of the drawbacks of that is that people are free to take images of me and manipulate them however they want. At some point in the future, everyone is going to have a picture on the Internet that they are unhappy about.

5. And succinct nappy answers
I don't know that I'll have a picture on the internets I'm unhappy about, at least not the kind JimmyJeff had.

8. Just an amazingly stupid fellow. Here's my favorite bit:
DS: Scott McClellan, the press secretary to President Bush, called on you and allowed you to ask questions on a nearly daily basis. What, exactly, is your relationship with him?

JG: I was just another guy in the press room. Did I try to curry favor with him? Sure. When he got married, I left a wedding card for him in the press office. People are saying this proves there is some link. But as Einstein said, "Sometimes a wedding card is just a wedding card.''

DS: You mean like "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar''? That wasn't Einstein. That was Freud.

JG: Oh, Freud. O.K. I got my old Jewish men confused.

9. Yes, you can see why he's alone with that attitude.
If he were straight I'd say he was perfect for Ann Coulter, they're both in a dream world and think that nobody can see just what kind of terrific hate mongers they are with how they tapdance on racism as though it were excusable and acceptable to hate with that road of a brush.

Hate is a nasty thing, it eats you up from the inside and destroys your soul, turning you into a wasteful puppet of a human being, caught in an endlessly looping tape of hate filled bile spewing from your mouth.

Don't hate people, but do not tolerate hate.
