Life’s Rich Pageant
By Mitch Berg
I was reading Dusty Trice today when I was reminded of something from over the weekend:
Over the busy opening weekend a few DUSTYTRICE.COM tipsters were volunteering to help tape over at the Patriot Radio booth.
Yes, indeed, they were. We had three gubernatorial candidates – Paul Kolls, Pat Anderson and Marty Seifert – on Saturday. Laura Brod was also on King’s show, although she’s not a candidate. They were on for half an hour each. And for that entire time, a couple of guys stood, holding a video camera, slurping it all up. For two hours.
And on one level, I thought “wotta life – standing for two hours in the sun, videotaping every single thing a candidate says, waiting for a “flub”.
And on the next level, I thought “it doesn’t matter what the candidates say, because the best they can hope for is to be merely wrenched out of context; whatever they say will be called “hateful” or “crazy” anyway”.

Indeed, as I’m quite sure anything a liberal says will be labeled batshit crazy.. or maybe just sissy.

They’re called “tipsters” because they have pointy heads?

Is it just me, or does that first comment sound batshit crazy?

It’s you. Nobody in the right mind would read the first comment.

“I was reading Dusty Trice today ”
Now, that’s batshit crazy.

Utterly untrue. I’m pretty out-front about recognizing liberals who are not crazy. MNPublius (Aaron Landry notwithstanding), most of the old New Patriot crowd, some of the UpTake gang, a few of the Mindy crew, and even (in person, and on occasion in writing) you.
Objection overruled.

Didn’t a self described liberal say that he was wrong about the results of the Minnesota Personal Protection Act on this very site yesterday? Why, yes he did. Now THAT is some batshit crazy!

Peeve,
People do not call you a sissy… they call you a pussy with your skirt billowing up over your head.
