I wasn’t really looking for a definition of a cubit. I was completing CW’s oblique reference to the Bill Cosby comedy routine. So who’s on first?

And what a gem of an album Coz made back in 1960;
a San Francisco KNBR DJ used to play a 25 minute cut every night, without interruption, back in 1961.

Back to the subject: maybe TNR staff can get jobs covering FEMA press conferences??

Boo friggin’ hoo! For the gazillionth time, anti-American propaganda that slimes our military is proven to be false. I already knew that you were a traitorous whining punk, so didn’t learn much except for a couple of new fantasies you have.

And he could have done that by acting with some journalistic integrity, which he didn’t.

Sure, but my standards for journalistic integrity are fairly modest. :)

Oy…I don’t think anyone remembers jokes prior to Eddie Murphy anymore.

Yeah verily, I call anathema 3 times upon Foer, Beauchamp, his wife and the staff of TNR

Careful. If you’re a Muslim, I think you might be divorced now.

He and that craprag “magazine” of his can go to hell. He started all this with a blatant attempt to LIBEL and LIE to his readers about the war. And now that he’s been exposed as the CRAPWEASEL he is, he doesn’t like it. Well, BOO-FREAKIN’-HOO!

The sooner the owners of TNR in Canada fire the entire staff and padlock the premises, ceasing publication, the better for them and America.

I pronounce anathema on Foer, Beauchamp, his wife, and everybody else who works at TNR. They are UNFIT for any media job outside of a paper route. I call upon each and every media hiring manager to shun these clowns and refuse to grant them interviews. I call on the cub reporters to kick them in the shins. I call upon the janitors to beat them with their brooms and mops. I call upon the typesetters and pressmen to mispell their names and include their names in the obituaries every day. I call upon the cafeteria food servers to ladle hot soup on their heads and not a soup bowl.

Yeah verily, I call anathema 3 times upon Foer, Beauchamp, his wife and the staff of TNR. And on their keyboards, may the 1 bits itch and the zero bits cause chills, this day, and forever, until the end of time.

If only they’d spend this much effort trying to support the troops.
Remember Scott Thomas Beauchamp? He’s the “Baghdad Diarist” who wrote a piece called “Shock Troops” for The New Republic claiming he’d witnes…

Help me, I’m a victim of Hot Air’s conspiracy against me!

I will not allow your continuing attempts to withhold the copies of my comments — despite my two previous official requests — to prevent me from seeking the truth in this matter.

The people have a right to know.

You have so far failed to comply with my official request for all — repeat, ALL — my comments at this blog during the past year.

What are you trying to hide?

I hereby officially request that you provide me with copies of all my comments at this blog during the past year. Please provide this information immediately, if not sooner.

If TNR was a legitimate business, Foer would have been fired already and probably wouldn’t survive yet another major blow to its credibility. How does TNR stay in business?

Great question. I can only surmise that a significant size of TNR subscribers 1)just don’t care or 2)will never even hear about this episode or 3)are aware of the episode, but have decided that TNR is the target of a dishonest attack.

I have a somber sense that TNR and Foer will survive, mostly due to a resistance by other publications with market share to give this episode any space — pretty much a right-wing blog thing. I really hope I’m wrong.

I mean, Frank’s got to preserve the integrity of the magazine…

And he could have done that by acting with some journalistic integrity, which he didn’t. Foer seems utterly disinterested in the credibility of the magazine, having completely demolished it. His veiled threats in this conversation are all about cheap CYA ploys, not integrity.

Maybe because there was no reason she wouldn’t have communicated that directly to him, by phone or email.

Speaking of his Mrs. How about the ham handed threats from Foer and co.? Could they be any less subtle? It’s like they punctuated every other sentence with a ‘gee, sure hope nothing happens to your wife’ comment – like losing her job.

That’s why I thought he sounded confused, as if it didn’t fit with what she may have previously said to him.

I caught the threats as well, ham-handed fits.

Isn’t Scott’s last name spelled “Fauxchamp”?

Dr. Charles G. Waugh on October 24, 2007 at 11:28 PM

Now it is. Good one.

Beauchamp just seems a little confused when Foer says his wife sent him an email begging him not to recant…as if it wasn’t something Beauchamp would have expected.

Foer and STB deserve each other.

But, as much as STB is receiving his just desserts, I can’t help but hope that he’ll wise up as a result of this and maybe even one day join the ranks of decent human beings.

Unfortunately, there’s precious little evidence for that hope thus far.
