"I may not answer the questions THE WAY that either the moderator or you want to hear"
Saturday, October 04, 2008
Last night at 10:05EDT this guy came to my site to inform me that I quoted Sarah Palin from an incorrect transcript when I wrote, "I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear." That guy said that if I had an OUNCE of integrity I'd make a prominent correction in the text...you can just read what he said here.
Anyway, I did one better and made a whole new post to correct the old one. Now everything is better in the world and Sarah Palin did, indeed, answer all of the questions that were directed towards her...
...oh. Wait. No, she didn't.
Wait, so if those two words really don't change anything that happened at the debate, why should I go through the trouble of proving my ounce of integrity? Why should I even need to prove I have an ounce of integrity? This is an opinion blog that's read by a staggering 50 people! Wait...how did this guy even find my blog? Did he search all of the internets for the incorrect phrase just so he could call out people who quoted from CNN's transcript?
Oh my God! Is he a gotcha journalist?
No, he's probably just a douche. I fixed the title for you. Have fun with that douche thing.

I once got an email from someone complaining about the accuracy of some comment I left on a blog about Bush. Something along the lines of, I state Bush only lived in Texas for a few years, when in fact he may have lived there for a dozen or so. It's as if the act of catching you in a minor mistake completely invalidates your point, and even further, somehow, validates the opposite point. I guess it makes some kind of sick sense when you try to think about the warped world view these people have.
In any case, McCain is an asshole. Palin is a lightweight clueless republican clone. And Bush is a douchebag.
I'm free to say these things, but if they had their way, I wouldn't be.
That is all. - 9:26 PM
