Tim Blair

don't forget the twinkies

Hey Tim, here's a convention interview opportunity for you if you can't get fat-boy:

(PRWEB) July 26, 2004 -- The Democratic Socialists of America Political Action Committee (DSAPAC) released a statement today urging its members to work for the election of John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.

“Kerry was hardly the first choice of our members. Most supported Dennis Kucinich or Howard Dean in the Democratic primary elections and would be very critical of Senator Kerry’s voting record on trade issues, as well as his support for the resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq; but the most important concern of our members now is to defeat Bush,” said Frank Llewellyn, the National Director of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Frank Llewellyn is available for interviews in Boston during the Democratic convention and the Boston Social Forum.

If that doesn't work, try a salt lick.

Extra large cardboard box is not going to do it. I have this image of you and Welch a la Quint and Brody, with the gigantic Moore gobbling up burger, Twinkies, and all:

"We're gonna need a bigger box."

bwahahahahahahahaha
psss

hey tim,maybe you can find this mike wilson
who is making this movie.maybe he can buy you

The dividends of a Bush/Howard victory are becoming more evident every day:

Only one cheeseburger?

Think more along the lines of Eskimos hunting whale.

Tim, Michael Moore only eats plankton.

If you land him, I get dibs on the muktuk.

I was thinking Moore along the lines of the rampaging Sta-Puf Marshmallow man in Ghostbusters.

"Whatever you do, don't cross the streams!"

jabba the nut

Wow. Regarding the bear, see if you can sneak Bill Murray and Harold Ramis on board somehow.

That'll take care of the Titanic One.

I saw "The Bear" at an equipment demonstration in Quantico last year. If you want something to go around, through, or over rush hour traffic, this is for you. Take out some of the seats, and you could have a mobile dance floor and wetbar. It has a terrific air conditioning system as well.

Hmmmmmm.....no wonder the DNC speeded up the delivery!

This trap you speak of (at least the parts of it you do reveal) sounds very high-tech.

It ought to contain him, I think.

Wear body armor, though, just in case.

What angie said. And bring lots of antibacterial soap. They carry salmonella, you know.

Tim, go to the 4th floor of the Fleet Center and drop by Hugh Hewitt's booth between 6 - 9 pm. He wants to interview bloggers who are at the convention on his radio show.

Try to get some juicy and Dowd-able quotes from Moore that we can edit into some essential truth. Maybe ask him to do a documentary to explore how a National Security Adviser can inadvertantly steal/tamper with/destroy classified materials.

Maybe you can work him into a froth of investigative truth-seeking before he realizes you're not talking about Condi Rice.

*IWC will not let you do this, Tim.

You'll need to get a Japanese journalist to do it. Or an Eskimo journalist.

Probably easier to find a Japanese reporter, y'know.

SMG

*IWC=International Whaling Commission

Beware Tim, the rare Michael Moore species is known to sudden attacks of self-righteous leftoidness, causing them to froth at the mouth and lash out suddenly and unexpectedly at right-leaning oppressors like yourself at a moments notice.

Don't get your hands too close.

Reading the Reason blog - sounds like Tim's in hog heaven, nipping out back to cop a fag with Biff Henderson!

Oh, and that Koss fellas there too...

hey, use a cardboard box from one of those super-size imperialist AmeriKan refridgermuhrators to trap the behemoth!

err.. is this a 'trap and release' mission tim? or are you going to do the 'humane' thing?

This all reminds me too much of the fallacy behind those accusations of American/Brit/Aussie imperialistic intentions: what the hell would we want to conquer the world for? We'd only have to be responsible for their care and feeding afterwards!

Anybody here want to hazard a guess what that might entail with MM? Invective fails me.

Tim: abandon the idea and go get another beer.

Anybody here want to hazard a guess what that might entail with MM?

Draping a tarp over him and charging people a dime to see the fabled chupacabra.

Only if said dime buys me the right to urinate in his ear...

That costs a buck, it's where the real money comes from. It will more than cover the costs of buying goats for Moore to suck.

Polly,

Thanks for the alert! Just finished chatting to Hugh. Great fun.

Great idea Tim!

When you catch him, make sure you film it and
please give us your best "Steve Irwin." "CRIKEY! Look at th' size o' that one!"

Also a little tip: If you think you've got enough tranquilizer darts, you probably don't.

Attention DC Death Beasts...the Friends of Tim Blair will be meeting at Dubliner's on Capitol Hill starting at six tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. It's a little late for LUNCH, I think, but we'll make do. I just heard Jimmy Carter spaek, and believe me, I will be needing a frosty beverage. All men and women of good are invited to join us. Bring your best Oz accents and a digital camera.

See you there!

Jimmy Carter is already responsible for far too much drinking on the part of those of us in the "real world"... Lord, when will it end?

I quaff a Bud Lite in your general direction.

OMG, this is a HOOT! You all are making the DMC a little easier to bear.

I just heard of Tim Blair's blog today while listening to my favorite radio talk show host, Hugh Hewitt, and I am glad I tuned in here. I will definitely be back.

P.S. Thanks for your support, Tim! Aussies ROCK!

Mac

We're fun and unbalanced! (c)

Why are there no comments available at the reason blog?

"Beware Tim, the rare Michael Moore species is known to sudden attacks of self-righteous leftoidness, causing them to froth at the mouth and lash out suddenly and unexpectedly at right-leaning oppressors like yourself at a moments notice."

oooh, just try getting the phrase "shove it" on tape. that'll be fun.

I made the mistake of giving Clinton's speech a chance, and within 10 seconds of me flipping the channel to his speech, he had already blurted out a lie... in this particular instance, it was the 'send me' line. (In fact, Kerry didnt want to go to Vietnam, and Navy duty was intended to avoid serious danger, he didnt volunteer for swift boats, and then of course after 4 months got out as fast as he could) Since he's retired from public office, can he at least retire from his classic ways of shaving truth?

Why are there no comments available at the reason blog?

I think that's a fair question, esp after NPR did a bit on how blogs are making the conventions interactive...

Listening to TB on The Hugh Hewitt Show replay on KRLA. He sounds great. I wish Hugh would have him on every day of this convention.

If you do manage to trap him, do not approach him til after he has finished the cheeseburger, and make sure you wash your hands well (if they stink of burger they are as good as gone). Also in case he gets in a rage i wd be packing bear repellent. Good luck.

It really would be safer to outsource this one to the Eskimos. They can harpoon a large blubbery mammal like nobody.

Nah forget the harpoons, those clubs they use on seals would be much more fun.

DNC = Deceitful Nasty Comedians, perhaps they should nominate MM for Publicity Csar and WJC for Honerable Snake Charmer. (oh I guess that depends on your definition of snake)

Fat-boy has arranged a Crawford screening of 9/11.

According to the article, dated 27/7, there have been 45 reservations, with five from Crawford residents. Any bets on whether the locals can make it the whole way through without one of them putting a bullet through the projector? (I was thinking fat-boy might get plugged but that wouldn't be nice, now would it?)

We should nominate Jilly for best comments for a Blairblog Newbie, well played little lady. And no ... I did not have a relationship with that woman... Jilly, and I have no idea if she has a navy blue gap dress.
dev ( with tounge in both cheeks)

Thanks dev... Sortelli, misread your comment, and i actually LOL... thought you said MM's entrails! Now that is a nasty visual.

I think you'll definately need a refrigerator box, maybe a few truck palets and a crane to release him back into the wild. You know - back in the forest of narcissists...

OK everyone This is a general broadcast,

O'Reilly will have Mikey on at 2000 EDT (8:00 pm for
the militarily challenged). I don't care for Billy
that much but....

I'm going to see if Bill goes after Moby, and if he
uses a hand harpoon or the gun.

Jimmy Carter is already responsible for far too much drinking on the part of those of us in the "real world"... Lord, when will it end?

I quaff a Bud Lite in your general direction.

Geezer- wouldn't Billy Beer be more appropriate?

Tim:

Did you get a picture of the al-Jazeera sign behind the podium before the slimebags took it down?

"Billy Beer".....BLEAH!

thought you said MM's entrails! Now that is a nasty visual.

I sincerely apologize for putting that idea in your head. :)

Maybe OT, but about Mikey Moore who sits in the "President's box" at the convention-

I didn't see the show with O'Reilly today, but apparently Moore kept aggressively asking if the host would send his child to die in Iraq. Moore kept speaking in terms of America's "children" dying over there and as if parents SEND their kids off to war. O'Reilly wasn't smart enough to say, even once, that American troops aren't "children" but adults who voluntarily enlist in the services. O'Reilly couldn't refute Moore's implied meme that, unless one is willing to "send" one's child into combat, then the deaths of other people's "children" are immoral. Moore said that Bush was sending our country's "children" to their deaths--- such cheap, shameless, and demeaning rhetoric about the brave grown-ups in our services. And soooo Democrat.

PLEASE someone here address this perversion of logic and send it to FOX. O'Reilly was outa his league with the clever demon. He also allowed that WMD was Bush's reason for war against Iraq and so couldn't get sufficient traction against Moore's lie that Bush "lied" about the WMD and, hence, the war was fraudulent. Also, Moore almost sounded reasonable when he asserted that oppressed peoples can always rise up against despots, as in the former Soviet states. O'Reilly had no comeback about the thousands and millions of lives lost until such a day when circumstances may allow for Moore's "people power" revolution. Moore actually got away with mentioning the French Revolution as a positive example of what could happen were we not to intervene.

Somebody brilliant (Tim or faithful commenter) should speak to all of this, please. It's frustrating that Moore was so twistedly effective on a FOX program, for gosh sakes.

Talk abt z-grade coverage. Yeah, blogs are hijacking the conventional media alright - just checkout this scintillating inside scoop from the bloghead:

"Security surrounding the convention is not notably over-bearing or ominous ... unless you're Bill Clinton. At a private post-speech party last night, featuring maybe around 125 invited guests, there was not one, not four, but eight machine-gun toting military personnel guarding the entrance, one of the attendees just told me."

Well knock me down with a feather, if I'm not speechless at these amazing revelations and insight into the political process! Isn't it amazing how blogs are just turning the traditional media on its head?

Imagine, such gems of journalism might have never seen the day if it wasn't for the bloghead's outperforming ego and this wonderful invention called blog.

Miranda definitely is an insecure journo and someone whom Tim has cleverly skewered. Why else would a determined troll be so nakedly anti-blog?

Tim's doing a wonderful blog-job on the carnival in Beantown. Will he do NY, also?

My guess is that Miranda is a male journo of the Australian variety.

No, Sortelli had it right -- Miranda is just fucking stupid.

A bitter, failed, stupid journalist wannabe. Mirander reminds me of those people who listen to the police radio channels and fantasize about being cops, but don't actually have the life skills to even make it into police academy. Why do I envision some him/her's domicile to be of the trailer variety? (I know you have them in Australia.)

I have used the word "fuck" on this blog too many fucking times in the past two fucking days. Heh. I need to stop fucking swearing.

Aw, fuck it.

Andrea and Sortelli,

You're both amazingly insightful, but this Miranda is too vested in the anti-blog Big Media POV that is surfacing of late. Why would a non-journo and blog troller be so intent on dismissing blogdom as a useful news medium? Can't Miranda be a leftist and unintelligent AND a journo?? Where's the contradiction? Maybe not Pilger, but somebody else whom Tim has rightly embarrassed? Miranda knows too much about press award dinners and such.

Who is going to answer MM's evil illogic (for the umpteenth time) and send an open letter to FOX? O'Reilly failed where Blair's bloggers could prevail

a new flick coming soon. i wish TIM will find
the time to check into this new flick coming.
i am so sorry i could not provide the link,still
working on the computer skills.

Say, Tim, maybe you’d consider asking or getting somebody to ask the Dems about a report that Fahrenheit 911 is damaging the morale of US troops in Kuwait. In light of that, don’t the Dems think that Kerry & they should publicly repudiate Fahrenheit 911’s specific distortions, errors, & lies? Or will they stay continue to countenance & smile upon & in many cases embrace Moore’s cinematic McCarthyism?

“Fahrenheit 9/11 and Its Impact on Military Morale, by a Soldier,” July 26, 2004, at Amy Ridenour’s National Center blog.
Michael Moore's film, Fahrenheit 9/11, is making the rounds here at U.S. bases in Kuwait. Some soldiers have received it already and are passing is around. The impact is devastating.

Here we are, soldiers of the 1st Armored Division, just days from finally returning home after over a year serving in Iraq, and Moore's film is shocking and crushing soldiers, making them feel ashamed. Moore has abused the First Amendment and is hurting us worse than the enemy has.

There are the young and impressionable soldiers, like those who joined the Army right out of high school. ....

There are others who joined for reasons of money and other benefits, and never gave full thought to the issues. For them, seeing this film has jolted them. ....

And there are those who are hurting from being away from family and loved ones. They are burnt out, already hurting inside from 15 months of duty out here, and now to be hit w/ this film.. it is devastating.

Lastly, there are those like me, who want to explode in anger and rage at this abuse of the First Amendment and the way Moore has twisted reality so harshly.

....

—Sgt. Joe Roche.

Yeah, Smash is covering that same article. I read it, and I've decided that Michael The Moor, is either a narcisstic sociopath, or an enemy sympathizer, if not a genuine traitor.

Perhaps the soldiers in Iraq were not his intended target. But that doesn't matter. The Fat One has struck again with his lies.

Note to MM loving trolls -- if you have an intelligent response, feel free to take a shot. Otherwise, shove your drivel laden leftoid scripted responses up your rectum until it meets your brain (a short journey, I'm sure).

Real Jeffs. I vote for numbers 1 and 3. What other conclusion can you draw when he calls terrorists "minutemen"!? Repudiate the distortions! The clown is sitting in the box next to an ex-President of the United States! That simple act gives him the full faith and credit of the DNC!

Harrumph. Why not just invite Yassir Arrafat to give the opening speech for the DNC?

A reporter at the convention today told Moore that some people have said that they would like to see him dead. He acted all hurt and shocked in a subsequent interview. Geez, it looked like he was going to cry. Like a creature such as this one would actually have tear ducts.

Hurt? Yeah, whatever.

What a lame push question. Oh, BY THE WAY EVERYONE, PEOPLE WANT MOORE DEAD. ISN'T HE SO BRAVE TO SPEAK OUT?

Arrafat for the DNC. Impossible. They only allow sidearms at UN speeches!

Moore displays his REAL courage when he manfully resists that third pound of home made fudge.

I hope nobody caps the SOB. Think of the Dems version of a State Funeral. Clinton biting his lower lip etc. Geeez! Ms Clinton out there with her vast right-wing conspiracy! Geeez! No!

I'm with you, YoJimbo. It's too bad no reporter's going to ask the fat man a question like "Did you know that most people who disagree with you wish you no harm?"

Same here, YoJimbo. Moore is a Grade A flaming Alpha-Hotel, but killing him is not the answer. That ain't the way we do business in this country. It would also give the leftoids (which, IMHO, now includes the DNC) ammunition for their VRWC babblings, a martyr as it were.

Can't disagree with that Sortelli. Of course, honest discourse and disagreement on issues isn't job one for some of these people! Can you imagine the Indymedia types on that one! Halliburton lied and Moore died! Holy ....

Real Jeffs. I'm in full agreement. I'm just stunned that MM has risen from the whack job basement to the mainstream DNC floor. How can you construe it any other way when he is sitting in the Carter box? What does this say about our two party system down the road? This is really scary stuff.

Yes, it is scary. The mainstream DNC has gone leftoid, even if they did muzzle Algore.

Hey, the two party system rocks. Vote for the party that doesn't have Moore in it.

I keed, I keed. But I do approve of the two party system. In fact, I also hope that the current Democratic party implodes in its own sweaty insanity and is replaced by a credible and thoughtful liberal alternative. I don't want one party to be right and one party to be wrong, I want two parties that push each other to offer us a better vision than the other.

And, y'know, it is a damn shame that the vision the Dems are offering us is nothing more than "We hate Bush, and by the way, John Kerry served in Vietnam. And we hate Bush".

I hope we are wrong and that more rational head will prevail. I doubt it though. I don't want to see their party go right down the tubes but I don't want to see these people running the national security of this country either. If I had my way Bush would just crush these people bigtime and then maybe someone would come to their senses and let reality creep in instead of raw unmitigated hate. Where are the Scoop Jacksons of old etc. I didn't care for his or his parties domestic policies at the time but if someone like that would tell me we have to go to war I would believe and support him and argue about tax cuts etc. later. But with these people geez!

Sortelli, I wrote mine before reading yours. I think we're pretty much of the same mind. Although, you are more eloquent.

Me? Eloquent? I'm a fucking foul mouthed miscreant. ;)

But eloquently stated!

I think Daniel Pipes summed up the difference between the Dems and the Republicans on U.S. national defence.The democrats represent the September 10th response to terrorism while George Bush represents the September 12 version.

Some people really want Moore dead and some people only talk about it as a way to blow off steam. The former are from the Middle East and the latter are from everywhere else.

oh gawd, i don't want mm dead! imagine the smell he would create in the landfill!

Why do I envision some him/her's domicile to be of the trailer variety? (I know you have them in Australia.)

andrea, i'm not sure australia does have trailers, because i've never heard of any tornados there, and all meteorologists confirm that tornados require trailer parks to form.

Jane Fonda and MM.
Jane ... Michael.
A match made in heaven. ewwww another nasty visual.

jilly
ps. FOX news the entire transcipt of mm vs. o'reilly on its website. i wonder if they had to reinforce the FOX booth for MM?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,127236,00.html

almost forgot, tonight the DNC is proud to have dennis kusinich on the podium. with any luck he can help bankrupt the democratic party, oh no... he only does that to cities.

sadly the clevland area keeps voting for this guy. well he is good for a laugh i guess, he looks like a ventriloquists dummy. oh wait he already is one. :)

There's no need to take a shot at Moore anyway -- he's eating himself into a massive coronary. I give him 3 years.

I think what depresses me the most is that I fear being disgusted and disappointed in my countrymen -- that they don't care how we the nonimbecilic in NYC felt on that day, that they'd rather have a nice 4-year-break from being the Last Best Hope of Man on Earth. (Not counting the Aussies and Brits, but when Pres. Kerry pulls us back to navel-gazing I doubt they'd have the political will to go forward without us.)

I realize this is off-topic, but I've just read the SMH account of the Aussie ambassador being called in by the Phillipines' foreign office, apparently for your Foreign minister's comments about appeasing terrorism. Will someone please explain to a Yank what a "bunfight" is?

There's no need to take a shot at Moore anyway -- he's eating himself into a massive coronary. I give him 3 years.

An outcome that would no doubt result in hundreds of conspiracy theories about how the VRWC and their cohorts in the fast food industry "killed" Michael Moore...

what we also call a "dust up"; a fight; conflict; argument; strong disagreement or what the Irish would call a barny

Like other people have stated, I'd also prefer a second party that offers clear, rational, and reasonable alternatives to the Republican platform. That does not describe the current pre-implosion lunatic "Gotta hate Bush" behavior of the Democrats.

mark from monroe

The problem is not political will but military capability.

Oh, and I hear that most cities have a contingency plan in case Michael The Moore keels over within their jurisdiction. This plan involves a massive response by a hazardous materials team, dump trucks, bucket loaders, and burial at sea in sealed containers.

You're probably right, Bloody, although I'll wager Britain has enough firepower to take over Europe today -- which is not a bad idea....

Tim, Welchy is ourposting you 4-1. BLUDGER! We need your wit and wisdom now more than ever.

Hey, matt, stalking MM with a box full of cheeseburgers is pretty dangerous. Especially if Tim follows John Kerry's example of deer hunting -- I don't know that I'd want to be crawling on my belly around the DNC floor right now. Imagine the mess a herd of leftoids would leave while following in the wake of MM. Yuck!

"Imagine the mess a herd of leftoids would leave
while following in the wake of MM."

Hey JeffS, lets try to keep the visuals clean. OK?
Sheesh.

BTW, I agree with the comments about O'Reilly, my
dad didn't send me off to be sacrificed in 'Nam.
That statement pissed me off. I will however, be
more than happy to send mm off to be sacrificed
in...oh, say...Chechnya.

Funny 'Bush=Hitler' rant

A member posted this on a board I hang out on. I thought it funny enough to share.

I have used the word "fuck" on this blog too many fucking times in the past two fucking days. Heh. I need to stop fucking swearing.

Take a note from Eamonn's Rainy Day and switch to "feckin'".
