This is a short but shocking DUFU edition today. William Rivers Pitt apparently opened up his Trust Fund checkbook and purchased his way into giving a speech at an Eleanor Roosevelt Awards Dinner held by Denver area Democrats. I could post his overlong boring speech which was my original intention but I just couldn't get over his voice. You can't hear him by clicking the pic above but if you go to TRUTHOUT, just scroll down to the video and click on it.
If you had ever heard Pitt's voice before his throat started getting eaten away by the cancer sticks, you would be as shocked as I am to hear the Pittster's voice. I remember him on the phone from Bukowksi's in early 2005, assuring me that he remembered every single detail of a long conversation that he wrote, word-for-word. Back then his voice sounded smooth and normal. However, years of sucking down those cigarettes, perhaps as many as 3 packs per day, have resulted in the raspy, unhealthy voice you hear on the video.
My advice to Pitt is to quit blowing his Trust Fund bucks to pay for ego enhancing speaking gigs and use the money to pay for medical attention. You need to quit smoking NOW or end up with a hole in your throat like this SINGING COWBOY.
Don't wait, Pitt. Pick up the phone and make an appointment with a doctor. Best to do it now before the ObamaCare waiting lines go into effect.
IN!
PING!
It’s only fair. Drinking has destroyed his liver and liberalism has destroyed his mind.

IN before ten
I thought he just wore out his vocal cords with overuse.
The Marlboro man sure died from tobacco. I met his brother Marlboro man #2, in New Mexico a few years ago. He smoked like a chimney, I’ll bet he is gone now too.
Who is this guy?
He doesn’t post at DU as often as he use to. Doesn’t get the love he did just 24 business hours ago.
does he not know about socks? or pants? cover those legs.
If you look at that picture again, you’ll see he does have a sock on one of his three legs.
Let him take the red or blue pills.
It looks like some guy has his hand in Pitt’s pants.
Like I say, Wee Willie needs to lay off the fags.
Or in 24 business hours.
lol.
Top business 20.
Over/under on Pitt outfitted with a cancer gazoo? I’ll say 8 years...
But I don't think his raspy voice is from smoking. IMO it's from swilling booze every waking moment and finally falling off the Bar Stool at Bukowksi's at 2:00 am, nearly comatose.
ROFLMAO!
It is definitely a smokers voice. Which means the cigarettes are eating away at his throat. It is astonishing the rapidity of his decline. In early 2005 his voice was normal...and now this.
I read the speech, as with Bo, there's way too much "I, me, my" in it, jsut way too much. And those insulting references to Denver, about how he can't remember the last time he was there, as if Denver was so unremarkable it was not worth remembering.
The Colorado Democrats and the Denver Democrats are waxing fat and prosperous; surely they could've paid for a better quality of speaker.
The Bostonian Drunkard is, aesthetically, flat-out grotesque. Because I can't hear, I just watched (the whole thing), and was intrigued by how his appearance and mannerisms oddly resemble those of Julius Streicher.
I think the payment was the other way around. Of course, they wouldn't call it a "payment." Proper term they would use would be "contribution." Make a nice contribution and you get to be a speaker and enhance your own ego.
I'm confused. Usually, are speakers not paid for their appearances? When did this custom change?
you’re right.
2003 is the year he lost his CNN appearance. This was fun -

There's a guy who's a lunatic…..on the fringe, man, he is really sick
Some medication might do the trick…William Rivers
He's not voted for Kennedy…this is funny, you must agree
He's in John Kerry's district, you see…William Rivers
William Rivers, William Rivers…he's teaching our kids everyday
William Rivers, William Rivers…he is a toon, what can we say
Should he be in a padded room…it should be understood
That's like asking do grizzlies crap out in the woods
Foolish William Rivers
He claims Reagan conceived a plan…the Beirut bombing had been a scam
Through Ollie he sent the bomb to Iran…William Rivers
He does not like our president…he's nuts, that is evident
I laugh out loud when I'm hearing him vent…William Rivers
William Rivers, William Rivers…he's teaching our kids each day
Yes, William Rivers, William Rivers…he is a toon, what can we say
Should he be in a padded room…it should be understood
That's like asking do the grizzlies crap out in the woods
Foolish William Rivers
William Rivers, William Rivers…he's teaching our kids each day
William Rivers, William Rivers…he's a toon, what can we say
Walking down memory lane. Here is commentary in song about his trip to Bush’s ranch. Too bad the photo of his black hat and earring are gone. It looked so (pardon me, PC speech fascists) gay.

I noticed that the Laryngeal One himself is waxing fat. It looks like the erstwhile Wee Willie has gotten all way-weighed up.
Fat and ponderous, bald-headed and gravelly-voiced, that is the Laryngeal One as he rapidly approaches his 38th birthday. Being a booze-hound and a fag-sucker is not good for one's health and youthful vitality.
I think Mother Pitt, aka DUmmie Raven, needs to do an intervention on the Democratic Dipsomaniac. Take that boy of hers across her knee and give him a good trashing. March him up to that cabin in the woods for a little rehab and detox. Make him sit in the corner in his short pants and write sentences on a slateboard, "I will be a GOOD boy. I will be a GOOD boy." 300x.
That too. But what I meant was "a good thrashing."
Trashing was the better choice...even though a Freudian slip! :D
He looks WAY older than 38!
Last time I saw Billy was on the Common in Boston, at the Band Stand, during a FReep, fall 2003?, has a crew cut, and was a chubby little person. Howard Zinn was there and he called him out of the crowd to speak, I’ll have to look up the After Action Report.
You are correct. Compare and contrast, Weed Willie at 37, almost 38, and yours truly, CH, at 55, almost 56 (both photos taken earlier this year). Pitt looks as old or older than I do!
He looks older than I do at 66...
except for gray on your face, you look much younger
....and WAY younger-looking!
Liberalism hasn't destroyed his mind. You must first possess a mind. Liberals don't have that luxury....
I think Pitt sounds a lot like comedian Blake Clark now, which for me is an improvement, but the message delivered by the voice is still inanely STUPID!!!!
The cigarettes make the difference. I assume you don’t smoke. Smoking ages people quickly.
He’s got a Zero-like arrogant stance. Copycat!
I keep forgetting to. I want to smoke, but I can't seem to get around to it. Pipe and cigar, I mean. No cigarettes for me. But I do smoke an occasional pipe or cigar.
A few years ago I made a New Year's resolution to take up smoking. So for my 50th birthday, my wife and daughter got me a pipe.
Same story with drinking--I don't get around to it enough. I do enjoy a good margarita or single-malt scotch. Had a beer with my lunch today. Sometimes I'll have a glass of wine with dinner. (Still haven't come across any Flor de Caña rum here in St. Louis, PJ.)
I've got a couple of pastors' conferences coming up the next couple of weeks. Often the guys will get together at the end of the day for scotch and cigars.
Pied Piper Pitt is morphing into Padded Porker Pitt. Our boy has been packing on the pounds, from the looks of it.
So much for the theory that smoking keeps you thin! :D
