This is just funny. Remember the other day, when ambulance chaser John Edwards was quoted saying that Israel is the greatest threat to world peace or some such? Here’s a link to refresh memories or get everyone up to date.
Well, he met a buzzsaw of criticism from the sane people of the world, but the folks at Wonkette decided to defend him. Yes, defend him. In their usual reasoned, rigorous way of course. (Link fixed–Wonkette’s defense is in the 2nd paragraph of the post.)
Well, now Edwards has clarified his comments. He doesn’t think that Israel is the greatest threat to world peace. So what say you now, Wonkette? Hmmmmmmmmm?
That crackling sound you hear is the limb you jumped out on being sawed out from under you. By John Edwards.
Heh.
(via NRO/C)
Update: Hey, it’s not like anyone at Wonkette has a history of insulting Israel or anything.

Yeah… I thought we were in consensus that show sucked already. Where’s Wonkette looking dumb? Me likes when that happen, teeheehee.
Savage on February 21, 2007 at 12:45 PM
wrong link; you need to fix that
Defector01 on February 21, 2007 at 12:49 PM
It’s fixed. You need to be just a wee bit less DEMANDING.
Bryan on February 21, 2007 at 12:50 PM
Just sit back and watch the fun! The next two years are going to be hilarious.
I wonder if this is why dubya has been somewhat giddy during the gaggles?
Kini on February 21, 2007 at 12:54 PM
Needed fixin’.
fogw on February 21, 2007 at 12:56 PM
Heh. But he’s purty. And has a biiiig house.
Bryan on February 21, 2007 at 12:57 PM
Welcome back Wonkette
Defector01 on February 21, 2007 at 1:05 PM
That’s no Lah, Bryan.
fogw on February 21, 2007 at 1:08 PM
John, like we say here in Texas…’you got it all backards’

When I went over to Wonkette I thought I was at some Neo Nazi site.
Capitalist Infidel on February 21, 2007 at 1:15 PM
I was looking over the site, and honestly, do they ever say anything meaningful? I mean on Hot Air pretty much every week there’s a huge write up about a current issue, and generally the posts are well informed with many links. It appears Wonkette just says “And in other news Hannity said something stupid today, ______ isn’t that stupid?”
Am I wrong?
Keljeck on February 21, 2007 at 1:18 PM
Ah, yes. I know that sound all too well.
see-dubya on February 21, 2007 at 1:25 PM
Silky will see that and then backpedal to try and please Wonkette.
This man wants to be President.
uptight on February 21, 2007 at 1:34 PM
Wonkette also took after LGF the other day:
This proves that Republicans are either a) too old to ever figure out the computer or b) all on FreeRepublic and Little Green Footballs protecting America’s precious freedoms from gay Mexicans in burqas.
E5infantry on February 21, 2007 at 1:37 PM
No, but, ha ha, charade you are, Keljeck! You’ve uncovered the formula to making a popular liberal blog and I’m going to be the first to spring upon it! I’m off to register a domain name that references an Allen Ginsberg poem and start printing up T-Shirts with pictures of Bush 41 making out with Chairman Mao! First post preview: “Pat Robertson is a Christian. Yuck!”
Savage on February 21, 2007 at 1:40 PM
Of course he doesn’t! Everyone knows the US holds that title! It just took a while for the correct message to sink in.
taznar on February 21, 2007 at 1:49 PM
The correct answer MUST be selection b), since I am a “certified genius” when it comes to figuring out computers.
/sarcasm off
CyberCipher on February 21, 2007 at 1:49 PM
Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that I suspect that I am WAY older than anyone that contributes to the Wonkette site.
CyberCipher on February 21, 2007 at 1:51 PM
What’s with the left’s obsession with lips and as*’s?
PinkyBigglesworth on February 21, 2007 at 1:54 PM
Poor Edwards, he just keeps getting bullied by the right. First the Marcotte episode, and now this. Poor, poor Johnny – just tring to give the world different viewpoints, but the right keeps trying to silence him.
All kidding aside, at the rate Johnny Dollar is going, he’ll make Waffles look like an honest principled man, firm on his convictions.
Rick on February 21, 2007 at 1:59 PM
Looks like the only major religion left to piss off by the Breck Boy is that RoP® You know the one that has the hilarious sense of humor and they produce cartoons that are to die for.
LakeRuins on February 21, 2007 at 2:14 PM
Who can take credit for naming Edwards “Silky Pony”?
I laugh everytime I read that.
Tru2my2 on February 21, 2007 at 2:15 PM
That will never happen. I kept asking his “ex-star” blogger, Marcotte, why she never addresses the patriarchy of islam because you know, she’s a woman’s champion for the right to hate all men. Anyway, none of my comments were ever posted. Lefties cannot address islam, to do that would mean agreeing with us.
darwin on February 21, 2007 at 2:21 PM
Bryan your posts are getting more direct and a lot easier to read.
Really enjoying your writing. Thanks. Great post.
One Angry Christian on February 21, 2007 at 2:24 PM
A compliment so backhanded it almost broke my jaw. Thanks!
Bryan on February 21, 2007 at 2:33 PM
I had the same thoughts, and not as a backhanded compliment. But being consise is an art. Great writers say a lot with a few words and you are devoloping that. It is a real compliment and critque that you are moving in the right direction.
Poor Wonkette, caught defending what they are defending is against.
Is it Friday yet?
right2bright on February 21, 2007 at 2:45 PM
Edwards just can’t seem to get it revvin’ with the new media, can he?
Quisp on February 21, 2007 at 2:59 PM
darwin:
Leftists, when cornered, will agree about Islam. Only when cornered. And only as a “tactic,” the next day they will forget Islam and start screeching about Pat Robertson again.
It’s like having the same argument every day. With a 9-year-old spoiled brat.
Merovign on February 21, 2007 at 3:23 PM
Uh Oh looks like a real Obama-Clinton pairing may be in the works.
LakeRuins on February 21, 2007 at 3:28 PM
Try that link again. I say Obama-Clinton pairing.
LakeRuins on February 21, 2007 at 3:29 PM
…ambulance chaser…hezbo ambulances…pally ambulances…hating Israel…I’m seeing a connection
also throw in Hillary care…It’s a consiracy by doctors! Like what metal heathcare professionals did when they blew up the Earth before we found out what ‘42′ meant.

The tolerant left in full glory.
As an American Jesus Freak, I believe that we must support Israel for two reasons. One political, the other Biblical.
1. It is the only nation in the middle east with a participatory form of government based on personal freedom (until we finish delivering the infant Iraq from the womb of insurgent turmoil), and the only consistent ally we’ve known outside of Australia and the UK (and the Brits are sadly getting weaker toward us all the time).
2. The Abrahamic Covenant, which has never been repealed by the Lord, and has historically been shown true:
Genesis 12:1-4
Several hundred million Mohommadens surround the tiny nation of Israel, a great majority of whom believe that it should be destroyed. And it stands, and remains a nation of free people. The Arabs who live in Israel are allowed to vote, own businesses and are unrestricted in any way. There are countless evidences of God’s existence in the world, but none more miraculous than this.
When the United States abandons Israel, we will fall under the curse of Genesis 12:3. No Christian I know thinks that Jesus will come back and destroy Israel. This entire world will eventually be destroyed, but the new Heaven and new Earth will have one city: New Jerusalem
The Wonkette folks are the batty ones, thanks.
