Jayson Blair: Bush "will go to extraordinary efforts" to win 2nd term
Here's a new 'interview' w/ Jayson Blair.

Kinda interesting, as he scolds me about the liberal media ("Have you ever been to New England? Met a Kennedy? What planet have you been on?"), and says that Bush will win and "will go to extraordinary efforts to gain a second term".

8. One of the reasons...
... that pond scum like Jayson Blair keep rising to the surface is that on some level he is admired for his infamy.

Until American culture puts liars, losers, frauds and cheats in the ignore bin where they belong, we will have no shortage of liars, losers, frauds and cheats rising to the top.

11. So is anyone going to respond to what he actually said?
Or are attacks on the guy as far as we'll go? I, for one, think he's right on the money with the "extraordinary efforts" thing. I disagree that Bush will win, though.

Anyhow Blair sounds like a big-time right-winger. "People's Republics of Berkley, Ann Arbor and Seattle", he says. Then he adds, "the facts actually point to the notion that wealthy people trend liberal". LMAO!

12. why bother responding? You said it yourself:
"Anyhow Blair sounds like a big-time right-winger."

So a thoroughly discredited liar is following an ideology that's uh, discredited and riddled with lies. Swell! Sign me up for more of that.

13. Who the eff cares?
Exactly what qualifications does he have? Did he poop a crystal ball?

Or course Bush* is going to try everything in the book, but it is not going to work. That's what MY crystal ball says anyway :)

15. Jason Blair's 15 minutes -- 15:48
Someone tell him they're up. I can't believe people even care what he has to say, yet alone seek out an interview with him.

He's irrelevant.

16. He probably wants to get on the RW book loser pig-trough
Maybe Richard Mellon Scaife will hire him. He's probably writing one right now........"How Liberals Kill Black People". LOL

21. Given Repukes grasp of "facts' Blair will fit right in...
Compared to Limbaugh, Coulter et al, Blairs probably the most honest of them all.

17. You don't have to be a psychic or a political genius to know
that Bush will do absolutely anything to hold on to power. Anyone with five functioning neurons knows that.

18. Nice to know Jayson Blair has a new job
I know "Alternative History" is a niche market in the SciFi genre, but it appears he's smart and is working on getting it out for the "recent alternative history" sub-genre that's bound to become a hit!

Nice to know he's continuing his work in fiction, though.

20. I liked your questions...
No softball questions coming from you! Nice work.

I think he's out of touch with his answers.
