I seem to recall that last year-ish, Hoft had some medical problems. At the time , I tried really hard to suppress my contempt for him and hope for his recovery. I've lost a number of friends and family to various illnesses, and it makes me a little sensitive.

His recent bullshit is forcing me to reconsider.

Presuming that the U of Iowa did the right things before publishing the image, I'm pretty sure the worst you could get SMOTI for would be a copyright violation.

Seeing as one shot was allegedly fired from within the police cruiser, my assumption has been that the cop fired from an inch in front of his own face, and suffered the expected consequences.

Which, if he's your stereotypical asshole cop, put him in an <i>extremely</i> foul mood, with the whole thing being the kid's fault (as any asshole in that situation would tell you).

Thanks Dok, I've been checking it out and LGF seems almost sane. Not as sane as teh Wonkettes, but then again, who is?

The King was/is a socialist.

I'm confused. Wasn't LGF also a third-rate rightwing blog at one time? Is this an example of "it takes one to know one"?

Congrats to Mr Johnson for seeing the light.

From the fount of all knowledge: On November 30, 2009, Johnson blogged that he was disassociating himself with "the right", claiming that "The American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff. I won’t be going over the cliff with them." He has been heavily critical of conservatives and libertarians since then.

He is just jealous he isn't a Paywall Pundit like O'Reilly, Beck, and Rush. That is were the wingnut money is.

It's Accuracy in Media, one of the most ostentatiously mendacious organization names since Answers in Genesis.

Quite the prestigious award, if you're on SMOTI's level.

Charlie is beating SMOTI like a rented mule. It's quite fun to watch that shitweasel get his ass handed to him. Sadly. RWNJs like Jimbob have zero honor and zero shame (thanks in no small part to the fact that their readers are dumber than dirt) so I'm not too sure Jimmy will be all that bothered by it

"I wonder which mascot head he's going to wear?"

Horse's ass would be my guess.
