Schadenfreude, Schadenfreude
" I'm feeling a Freudenschade song to the tune of 'Edelweiss' from 'The Sound of Music.'"

Schadenfreude, Schadenfreude
Every FUnnie you greet us
Ugly and white, Man what a sight
Pitt looks like he's a drunk wuss

Conspiracies grow, like winter snow
Bloom and grow forever

Schadenfreude, Schadenfreude
Bless these DUmmies forever

Hiya Frank! Is CU having as much fun as we are with this?

[franksolich]

The Bostonian Idiot prevaricates away.....

This, from truthfallout:

LOL

Now the former Los Angeles Times and Dow Jones reporter has written a book, "Off the Record," that criticizes journalists as lazy. Oh, and by the way, Leopold says he engaged in "lying, cheating and backstabbing," is a former cocaine addict, served time for grand larceny, repeatedly tried to kill himself and has battled mental illness his whole life.

But the book's publisher, Rowman & Littlefield, has canceled "Off the Record" days before it was to go to press, despite having sent out news releases and listed the book on Amazon.com. The publisher acted after receiving a warning letter from one subject's lawyer.

"I'm devastated," Leopold said yesterday. "I worked really hard these past two years to restore my credibility after the Salon fiasco. . . . I have a checkered past, and I was hoping that by coming clean about my own past, it would allow me to move forward."

They cancelled it?

Funny. Someone should tell the Barnes & Noble store down the street from me. I was in there last night, and they had a whole stack of his books on the table for sale.

Different Book

Amazon sure doesn't have it. You sure you got the right book? But it isn't just the book that matters is it. Why do you suppose old Leo was involved in the "fiasco" at Salon, and why was he turned down to begin with for this book? Does the word "credibility" even fit in your vernacular?

Barnes and Noble

They don't list the book either. Time's up. And you've lost the chance for the million dollar prize. Sorry.

Hiya Frank! Is CU having as much fun as we are with this?

Yeah, they're having a ball over there, but it's more comfortable here. Format of freerepublic is easier to use; not as much using of this "back button" and all that, and 50 comments per page beats a mere 10.

[CAluvdubya]

What everyone is asking right now is how accurate is the story? Has Rove in fact been indicted? The story is accurate, and Karl Rove's attorneys have been served with an indictment.

From TruthOut..HA!

That's their story and they're sticking to it!

FREUDENSCHADE!

snicker, giggle, snicker, sniker!

[Purrcival]

"Why, this embarassment might cause Pitt to up and leave DU forever. Again."

...for another six days.

[CAluvdubya]

From TruthOut:

The only "Scoop" will be scooping Pitt off the bar room floor from his heavy intoxication to dull the pain of his ultimate public humiliation!

Oh you were so right Frank. This is fun!

[franksolich]

Oh you were so right Frank. This is fun!

Yeah, that "truthfallout" thread--the Bostonian Idiot's own terrain, by the way--is hilarious, and gets funnier by the hour.

I wonder if perhaps the others at "truthfallout" have gotten their fill of the Bostonian Idiot, too, and he may be on his way out the door.

[CAluvdubya]

So what does the Bostonian Idiot think he has done?
That he has done something good?

Maybe he introduced the "Master and Commander" of DU to some school girls!

[CAluvdubya]

I wonder when pitt will start flip flopping. Not flip flopping on this story, but flip flopping inbetween victim and internet bully.

Good that the scamdy site is fully operational. Might come in handy. LOL

[Charles Henrickson]

From now on, when discussing Schadenfreude among the DUmmies, it needs to be called freudenschade.

Since we're talking about the work of Leopold & Lib, one could also say, Fraudenshady.

[CAluvdubya]

Bet Pitt leaves TruthOut before his adoring fans are done with him! has anyone heard from Pitt today? Hs he come out and said anything (sober, that is)

[Purrcival]

You forgot Gigli! :-D

[franksolich]

Bet Pitt leaves TruthOut before his adoring fans are done with him! has anyone heard from Pitt today? Hs he come out and said anything (sober, that is).

The last I knew, the Bostonian Idiot made a post in DUmmieland circa 6:30 a.m. (a.m.) today, and nothing since.

Scamdy is still around. Someone needs to curate, preserve, the memory of the scammer, as the DUmmies have already forgotten him.

SO THIS IS FITZMAS - A Lament
[To the tune of "Happy Christmas", by John Lennon]

So this is Fitzmas
And what has been done
Nearly a year's over
And Rove's not been hung
And so this is Fitzmas-
This isn't much fun
On Kos and on DU
We wonder what went wrong

{Refrain}
A very sad Fitzmas
What a waste of a year
It's not been a good one
For DUmmies, I fear

And so this is Fitzmas
And what have we done
Almost a year later
No one under the gun
It's no happy Fitzmas
Should've been lots more fun
My comrades at DU-
Whatever went wrong?

--Refrain--

{fade}
Rove is still here, how'd that happen?
Rove is still here, Wah-ahh-wahhhh....

[Purrcival]

Paging FReeper "dead" to post #149...

[Purrcival]

SORRY! I mean post# 160! D'OH!

[Purrcival]

Then it got worse- by Sunday night I was watching threads where expressing (truly) basic questions about whether this story was true or not were met, openly and with a great deal of malice, with charges that those expressing reasonable questions were gutted for being conservatives in disguise. This is a very ugly charge to make at Democratic Underground.

But this is par for the course in DUmmieland

[Choose Ye This Day]

Well, I looked at the album cover, and it doesn't say "Achtung Baby" anywhere on it--not that we couldn't put "Freudenscade, Baby!" on the photoshopped one.

But what would be great would be to have 16 little square photos of DUmmies and leftist idiots arranged just like on the U2 cover, with "Freudenschade, Baby!" superimposed on top.

[feefee]

LOL

love the "breakin" image as well as the link to the Don Johnson diary.

thanks
