In which we revel over the wingnuts' apologizing over their spreading the SIZEMORE tape yesterday

EARLY April Fool’s!!!!!! Wingnuts don't apologize, silly!1 They lob stink bombs and run away and later cry, “NO FINGER-POINTING! Let’s LOOK TO THE FUTURE!” How many times did Shrub do that?!1

What this is about: yesterday the wingnuts were thrilling to a tape of an actor who claimed Bill CLINTON demanded a tryst with an actress, flew her in, and performed the deed in the bedroom next door to Hillary. SIZEMORE/actor now says it’s all a drug-addled lie.

What’s the insight is how DESPERATE, STARVED, and straw-grasping the wingnuts are. Same as how they SEIZED on the Wendy DAVIS biography. By the bye, from before she started running, they said she has a zero chance in Hell/Texas, so WHAT are they SO THREATENED about? But back to the SIZEMORE tape, the wingnut playbook for ‘16, a la Rand PAUL, is that Bill’s history will be pinned on Hillary. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]" ‘It's just ludicrous that the ravings of a drug-addicted actor would have any impact on who might be the President of the United States,’ he (SIZEMORE) said.”[/FONT]

But the wingnut mindset is to think in terms of CULT allegiance, their idiotic (self-revelatory) thought that partisans (of both parties?) are ZOMBIES, LEMMINGS, robots mindlessly following “leaders.” Thus the attacks on the PERSONALITIES/Obama/Hillary/Wendy. They think that the PERSONAL DESTRUCTION of “leaders” will devastate the partisans. I will say again, the remnants of my personality-worship are FDR, HST, and LBJ, and I am well aware of their own personal flaws and don’t care. As for the rest, I DON’T CARE about OBAMA, Hillary, Wendy or just about anybody else PERSONALLY. I care about the Secular Humanist Liberal AGENDA. We WASTED 8 years DEFENDING Bill CLINTON when HE should have been working FOR THE AGENDA. Allegiance to an INDIVIDUAL “leader” is a WASTE. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Only the agenda matters. And WINNING. Noble losers get NOTHING.[/FONT] Even the weakest quality Dem who WINS is better that any Rethug. The winner gets to appoint judges and thousands of policy makers. The noblest of losers gets to do nothing.

[font size=5]'Daily Show's' Jason Jones Turns Into The Music Man To Sell Koch Bros. To Small Town[/font]

"It was kind of like being endorsed by Charles Manson."

That's how City Councilman Chris Turner of Coralville, Iowa described the support of the Koch brothers in his small town election on Wednesday's "Daily Show." Correspondent Jason Jones headed to the city of 20,000 to investigate [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]why the Koches and their Americans for Prosperity super PAC have been propping up conservative candidates in small towns. [/FONT]

Mayor John Lundell told Jones that most citizens of the town felt that [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]the presence of AFP had brought "an air of ugliness"[/FONT] to the typically well-mannered city. Councilman Turner, who told Jones that he tied for last, agreed that their election [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]methods were "reprehensible."[/FONT] ....

But some [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]plutocrats fail to see the problem in large private entities penetrating local elections.[/FONT] Matthew Vadum, a conservative operative whom "The Daily Show" referred to as a "political insider" (the show must have such characters on speed dial when they need a villain), called these Iowans "closed minded" for lambasting the Koch tactics.

"One man's sleaze is another man's class," he said. He further claimed that "you have to have a little bit of showbiz" when selling negative campaigns.

Jones took that to heart -- by donning a straw hat, striped suit and cane, and appearing at a city council meeting where he launched into a song and dance a la Harold Hill of "The Music Man."

"I believe in baseball, [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]double-bacon corn dogs[/FONT], apple pie and and [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]all that small-town talking point crap,"[/FONT] Jones sang. "But I also believe in [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Chuck Norris robocalls[/FONT] paid for by the [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Koch brothers super PAC!"[/FONT] ....

[font size=5]Tom Sizemore Takes Back Bombshell Clinton Affair Allegation[/font]

.... During an exclusive interview with HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri on the day the tape was published by Radar Online, [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Sizemore[/FONT] admitted that it was his voice but [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]said everything in the recording is completely false.[/FONT] Sizemore said the tape was recorded four to five years ago when he was struggling with addiction and "wasn't with very nice people."

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]"It's not true. I was never at the White House. I've never met Bill Clinton,"[/FONT] Sizemore told HuffPost Live. "I'm not denying that I said these things. I don't remember saying them, but it's an old video tape and they're the rantings of a guy...that had a very severe drug problem. Although I said it, none of it is true."

Sizemore said he has not spoken with Hurley, with whom he had a previous romantic relationship, but he regrets the trouble he has caused her.

"I'd like to apologize to her for any hurt or B.S. I caused her or the Clintons or anybody else I may have mentioned," he said. "I was like a drunk saying that I was going to be on the Challenger next week.... My perceptions were not the greatest."

He added that the allegations shouldn't harm a potential 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential bid.

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]"It's just ludicrous that the ravings of a drug-addicted actor would have any impact on who might be the President of the United States," he said.[/FONT] ....

like the Globe. When a two minute fact check would prove Sizemore had never been to the White House, printing the story was defamation imho.

His retraction won't matter.

It's an odd retraction anyway. We end up in a situation where we have to decide.

Was he lying when he was high out of his gourd and raving

or

Was he lying when he appeared on the news show.



PS: The highlighted text his hard on the eyes.

I'm not convinced this wasn't somehow friendly fire.

The globe is owned by American Media, Inc.

According to wikipedia American media is controlled by...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Altman
Former United States Deputy Secretary of the Treasury who served under Bill Clinton.
Altman has served as advisor to two presidential candidates: John Kerry in 2004, and Hillary Clinton in 2008.

Interesting small world...
