Internal strife on the Dean blog.... not really, but great parody!
Clay from the Dean campaign posted on the main Dean blog, asking folks to hit his bat as an alternative to Matt and the Boys. They are posting up a storm there, using all the usual lines from Dean critics, like "he'll hlead us into the wilderness." The blog staff has been divided into Southside NASCAR bloggers and Northside Birkenstock wearing latte drinkers. It's hysterical!

3. I'm not creative enough to make this stuff up,
so here's the latest blog-war update. I hope the author doesn't mind my use of it :-)


This just in to Faux:

More Fashionista sighting have just been reported. According to the AP a Fashionista terrorist cell was spotted addressing the news media. They were reportedly "impeccably dressed" armed with almanacs, and "passed out" items with instructions for how to begin a Fashionista cell.

In response, John Ashcroft has again raised the Vermont Office terrorism alert to a new level of "double Elmo" but asked all blogger to go about their blogging business. "Blogging is as yet a safe diversion from the war on terror, and should be undertaken by all propery prepared Americans."

His office added that for additional safety, bloggers should wrap their keyboard with plastic affixed with duct tape. "Sacrafices must be made," Ashcroft was quoted as saying when asked about the drop in typing accuracy this might cause...

4. Here's what I just wrote:
When did I first start to support Clay Johnson? I remember it well. It was a mild New Year's Eve down here in TX at around 4:23 pm that I first heard about this Clay fellow running for top team leader. He inspired me from the very start...willing to take on the same ol' blog insiders.

I haven't seen anyone talk so straightfoward and honest in a long time. In fact, the last time I heard a person show strong signs of leadership like Clay was roughly 20 hours ago on a conference call. I mean really...20 whole hours ago! So for Clay to come into my life and take on the blog establishment when no one else would...well how could I NOT support that?? All the other bloggers are so..."thank you for the information Zephyr" or "you were so great on C-SPAN Matt" or "Gee Joe, how great is it for you to stay late" blah blah blah. See what I mean? Clay is the only one with the courage to finally stand up to these people! We have the power!!!!

14. we have more drama....
Breaking Blog News:

In further evidence of thier shocking disrespect for jounalistic integrity, Faux Gnus has just attempted to link blogger bribery scandal queen Natalie to the venerable Fashionistas for Dean organization. Attorneys for Faux Gnus were quoted as throwing thier hands in the air and submitting thier letters of resignation, stating "if these crazy reporters have not even the slimmest respect for truth, facts, or logic we cannot possibly defend them against the libel suit Fashionistas for Dean has brought upon the company. We simply cannot win this case."

Faux Gnus is attempting to settle out of court with fashionistas for $6000, the price of 2 Aboud suits, 1 Freeman Navy stripe suit, three Oleg Cassinis, 7 versace ties and an assortment of dress shirts with spread collars which fashionistas can use to equi Howard Dean for the coming year of his candidacy. Fashionistas, however, refuses to be bought, and insists upon taking the case to court to expose the Lying Liars at faux Gnus for what they are- fakes with keyboard confidence.

Chair diva for the goup Scarletfire said " Obviously, they sink lower and lower with each attack. This most recent attempt to defame us, however, is laughable. No fashion conscious organization would ever condone the eating of four dozen cookies by a candidate. We have always been outspoken about the need to be fit, and look ones best."
