Lileks Slaps a Blogger (UPDATED)

Posted by Bill

Can you guess who he's referring to?

This morning I was clicking around, following some links about Wolfowitz� nomination to the World Bank (mrghmghfm) (surpressing mad laughter) (mrghmghfm) (Sorry, mwa HAHAHAHAHA) and encountered one of those brand-name sites I don�t visit much because the proprietor has nothing to say and no particular skill at saying it. He referred to that �filthy Wolfowitz.�
Do you often come across the word �filthy� applied to many politicians? No. Can you recall which group, in the last, oh, 60 years, got tarred with that word most frequently? Just curious. If the word rings no bells for you, then I�m overreacting. Obviously rung no bells for the author. I expect he will be equally unaffected if Trent Lott refers to �that uppity Rev. Jackson.�

Hint below the fold.

Robbie Rist played a certain highly annoying character in the latter days of the Brady Bunch; some say it spelled the doom of the series ...

UPDATE: More here. Personally? I thought that Lileks was pointing out that Cousin Oliver would be oversensitive about a like adjective, rather than Lileks being oversensitive himself. Shrug.

Hmmmmm...would the mentioned author be:

(a) Adolf Hitler?- No.
(b) Julius Striecher?- No.
(c) Joseph Goebbels?- No.

Ahhhhaaa...I know, it's he "who shall not be named", but is known to all as the resident left-wing jackass of the blogosphere.

I understand he has now dropped this wonderful little turd out- basically calling for Joe Lieberman to leave the Democratic Party. I guess the Brit Hume petition was not working out very well.

Since when is Ollie "brand-name"?

Well, if stupidity and race baiting had a brand name, that would certainly be it. I mean, he's got a slogan and everything.

How long before Mr. Moon Pie launches a campaign to get Lileks to resign?

So I go to find McO's website--since, you know, I sort of don't have it bookmarked--and type in his name at Google.....

Do you think he has the inverse reaction to my audible bwaaaa-haaaaa-haaaaaaaaaa upon seeing that INDC comes up as the first hit????

I am so confused.

OW used to just be a joke, now he's a parody of a joke. A Raimondo in blackface.
