Maybe Glenn Greenwald lives with his mom?

Originally noted here. More here and here.

UPDATE: Sharp-eyed AoS commenter Pablo spots a relevant bit of biographical information from Greenwald:

The country in which I have now lived for a year, Brazil, is by far the largest and most populous country in South America, and Brazilians had, prior to the war in Iraq, an overwhelmingly favorable view of the United States.

Perhaps relevant, because the IP traces to the "Latin American and Caribbean IP address Regional Registry."

UPDATE: Post's original joke was swapped out for a better one.

UPDATE: Greenwald implies that someone else in his household (likely his partner) is doing the defensive commenting:

Not frequently, I leave comments at blogs which criticize or respond to something I have written. I always, in every single instance, use my own name when doing so. I have never left a single comment at any other blog using any name other than my own, at least not since I began blogging. IP addresses signify the Internet account one uses, not any one individual. Those in the same household have the same IP address. In response to the personal attacks that have been oozing forth these last couple of weeks, others have left comments responding to them and correcting the factual inaccuracies, as have I. In each case when I did, I have used my own name.

Honestly, I don't find this explanation implausible. His analysis, on the other hand ...

He is the sole occupant of her basement.

Well, except for his pet, Lambchop.

The explanation is plausible, but I don't believe it. The style of the remarks is too similar to Greenwald's own, and I think he's lying when he implies* others at his address are defending him on his own computer/home network.

*I'll see if I can't get you one of the batshit crazy guides, (I know people) - excuse me, I'm being set upon by my several cats. Back in a few.

Let's not be too hasty in ruling out either an "evil identical twin" or "the butler did it" hypothesis.

Posted by: dorkafork at July 20, 2006 11:25 AM

Or maybe the butler's evil identical twin?

Posted by: dorkafork at July 20, 2006 11:26 AM

Honestly, I don't find this explanation implausible.

Yeah, I tend to agree. The styles might be similar because, well, they belong to his gay partner(s).

Still, we're looking at several names here, from one IP address. Methinks some additional 'splainin is due from GG.

Posted by: TallDave at July 20, 2006 02:54 PM

Just to clarify, in case anyone interprets the above as homophobic, I meant gay partner(s) as opposed to law partner(s), and used the possible plural because there are more than one person using the same IP address and I don't know if he's in a monogamous relationship (or care one way or the other).

(And I hope the laws in the U.S. eventually allow he and his partner(s) to get married. So there!)

Posted by: TallDave at July 20, 2006 03:17 PM

That's what all the homophobes say.

Deb Frisch, Glenn Greenwald, KOS...

Man, makes you long for the days of straight-up moonbats like Ted Rall.

Posted by: Gordon at July 20, 2006 04:31 PM

NAhh. I'm just not buying his story. Perhaps his swinging pals went to bat for him at a "laptop" party...personally, I think he's a fibber.

ps. Bill, I did locate a copy of that style guide Illustrated, even.

Posted by: SarahW at July 20, 2006 05:33 PM

That is excellent, SarahW.

This guy's home office must look like a cross between 'Friends', the Brady Bunch bathroom, a party at Andrew Sullivan's P-town beach house, and a sleepover at Neverland Ranch.

Posted by: iowahawk at July 20, 2006 08:31 PM

Oh, mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of Greenwald...

OK, I'll stop right there. But this is the funniest damned thing I've seen since, well, this. So, hey, anything to help the script along.
