The Washington Post should do more thinkin' and less whinin'.

In some cultures, this writer would be left with no alternative but to fall on his sword. Or, his keyboard, I guess. What an idiot. And he writes for the largest newspaper in the nation's capital.

It's that one armed, right wing radio commentator's fault.

"he nor his district?"

That's a fail.

"neither"

There you go, Subby. Use it as you see fit.

Better yet, use it correctly.

Subby is farking retarded and so is the mod who greenlit this. Great story, epic fail of a headline. If this headline was porn, I wouldn't even watch it.

Has anyone pointed out that the headline is bad?

Look at Fark. Attacking the person. Not the facts. And the fact is that according to Jack Kimble of California's 54th District, "Bush fought 2 wars without costing taxpayers a dime". Must I remind you: Who passed the bailout? Obama. Who inflicted massive deficits by increasing the burden on privately-run Medicare? Obama. Who attacked us with Katrina? O-BAMA.

Oh look at me, I got called out for being an annoying douchebag and posting the same shiat other people have already posted 10 times before me in this thread! I know what'll fix it, some stupid farking "yo mamma" joke that's been said thousands of times before!

You're so original and witty!

What are you still doing here? I thought I told ya to go fark your mother?

Anyway, I love the Post guy's response when he found out:

"Yes, I got bamboozled by @repjackkimble but the point remains."

No, the point doesn't remain. You are a hack, and don't deserve to be called a journalist. That's the point now. Unbelievable. "I was wrong, but I was right". Asshat.

Oh another yo momma joke! That's hilarious! I wish we could nominate posts of the year, because what you've added to this thread is intellectual comedy at it's highest level!

Do you do anything other than cry and whine like a biatch? No joke, just wondering.

In all fairness, those Kimble's are a slippery lot.

FTA: Capehart also admitted his mistake, saying in a real tweet, "Yes, I got bamboozled by @repjackkimble but the point remains."

The point is that he should have done some fact checking first before he got butthurt and wrote about it.

In his defence, I skimmed headline and didn't notice missing word until others pointed out

So either I'm as retarded as subby, or I have a magnificent and superior brain which can cope with cognitive gaps and still get the gist of message

When you see "the fact that" in a sentence you know you're in for some fail.

So, is the Fark Handle "Jack Kimble's campaign manager" still available?

Candygram4Mongo: So, is the Fark Handle "Jack Kimble's campaign manager" still available?

If you need a good slogan man, I'm free. Just off the top of my head:

"If you don't know Representative Kimble, you don't know Jack. . ."

Yet another shining example of a "journalist" getting tweaked by Twitter.
Mike Wise is a WashPost columnist also isn't he? Granted he was the instigator and others fell for. But I would think that by now Publishers would be pulling their fat asses out of their social clubs and actually going to their newsrooms to have chat with their folks.
These are high profile journalist. So we are hearing about these farkups. But it makes me wonder how many others happen everyday in smaller circulations that don't get the attention.
Twitter is stupid. But I can understand a reporter looking at tweets to possibly pick up a scoop. But it's use should end right there. At that point the reporter should start doing what they are there for. And that's to go out and get the facts and quotes from Sources!

When you are blinded by Liberal hate for Republitards it doesn't matter what the facts are. You MUST be first to slam that righty lest your lefty brethren slam him before you and take away one point you could have earned in the Butthurt Libby Boardgame.
