What is the meaning of the "pajama" thing?

[cateizgr8]

Can someone please tell me what the meaning of the wearing of pajamas to protest in is? I just don't get it. Thanks :)

[Mr. Mojo]

Are you wearing PJs right now?

[Chummy]

It's one of the President's secret plans revealed by John Kerry.

[TBarnett34]

"Bloggers" and FReepers were referred to in a rather scathing interview on some Lamestream media channel as "a bunch of geeks in pajamas" and amateurs as far as our ability to gather news.

[mlbford2]

Yeah, what's the deal?

[The_Victor]

We are the Pajamahadeen!

[FreedomPoster]

Someone in the Lamestream Media made a derisive comment about "bloggers in pajamas" early on during Rathergate. I'm sure someone will post the details, but that's the core of it. I think it came direct from CBS.

[Republican Red]

Some old CBS executive was on O'Reilly's show to talk about Rathergate.

He basically said - who are you going to believe layers upon layers of professional journalists or some guy in his pajamas surfing the internet?

[blackdog]

Are you series?

Being in pajamas - meaning that instead of wearing suit and ties to the office, we are in our pajamas at home in front of our computers...

[Shryke]

It's the small room at the front of the airplane. But that's not important right now.

[So Cal Rocket]

Former CBS executive Jonathan Klein complained on Fox News that "these bloggers have no checks and balances. . . . You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of checks and balances and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing."

[theDentist]

And don't forget to wear your slippers!

[M. Peach]

Shirley you jest....

[Politicalities]

Jonathan Klein, former executive VP of CBS News, the day that Ra^thergate broke:

"You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of check and balances [at '60 Minutes'] and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing."

The blogosphere seized on this, and took to describing themselves as the Pajama Brigade, or the Pajamahadeen. Jim Geraghty of NRO's Kerry Spot has been dubbed "Pajama Been Bloggin'", leader of the Pajamahadeen.

Hey, have you heard that JFnK served in Vietnam and he is a war hero!

All your nighties are belong to me!

Be careful, mooses eat cheesy pajamas!

I was nekkid before I wore pajamas!

[Shryke]

I'm not kidding. And stop caling me Shirley.

Jacobs! What can you make of this?

[roaddog727]

floppy-eared Bunny Slippers!

[Prime Choice]

We are the Pajamahadeen!

Whoever takes pride in a name derived from the Islamofascist Mujahideen really needs to get their head examined.

[wideawake]

Joe Klein, commenting on the Rather controversy, said that the bloggers who exposed him were just amateurs in pajamas - not real journalists.

Later someone coined the phrase "pajamaheddin" to describe it.

[John Lenin]

You start a thread for this ? You just outed yourself, troll.

[wideawake]

It's a joke. It mocks the mujahedeen by trivializing their precious title.

[najida]

The bring out the color of our eyes

[M. Peach]

Give me ham on five - and hold the mayo....

[theDentist]

Yes. Pardon my lack of specifics. It's been a long Monday.

[blue-duncan]

You mean to tell us that when you joined FR and learned the handshake they didn't tell you about the uniform that you must where to post here? I bet they didn't tell you about the fine for posting improperly attired, too?

[Old Sarge]

It's been explained by others, but HERE you go...

[MindyW]

LOL. I love that movie!

[bunches]

Hey! Some of us wear nightgowns not jammies!

"Nightgown Nancys". I guess that phrase is not catching on. (she sighs - sad face)

[Shryke]

Let's get that plane down. And down safe! BOOM!

[eyespysomething]

Pajamanatti

[Old Sarge]

I better FReepmail you, with the translation...

[lyingisbetter]

People in PJ's. can distinguish between forged documents and originals.
It was recently discovered!

[Shryke]

I think Peach and I are trying to hijack the thread. Shhhh.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

All your PJs are belong to us.

[Prime Choice]

It's a joke. It mocks the mujahedeen by trivializing their precious title.

To each their own...but any claimed link between us and the Islamofascists is a strike against us. In case nobody's noticed, the Left just loves to refer to our side as being as religious zealots on par with the Taliban.

Think about it now.

[Jaded]

And we salute you!

[M. Peach]

All right you guys - let's take some pictures.

[spodefly]

I have no idea what they are talking about. I haven't worn pajamas since I was 5. These days, my lounging outfit is a pair of baggie cotton leopard-print ladies pants that I got at Wal-Mart for $5, and a chamoise shirt with RealTree^TM Natural Wood pattern that has the sleeves cut out of it.

If enough people beg to see this fine outfit, I can post a picture.

[Zavien Doombringer]

got the vector, Victor?

roger, Roger

[stuartcr]

When in reality, many really are at work...

[lyingisbetter]

"It's the small room at the front of the airplane. But that's not important right now."

Worth posting twice!

That's a classic Shryke, very funny........

[Shryke]

Looks like you picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

[JoJo Gunn]

I don't like the "Pajamahadeen" either.

[hobson]

Well, you can make a plane, a hat or maybe a brooch.

[altura]

While we're being clueless (no offense) ... why is CBS called the Tiffany network?

I'm sure everyone knows but me.

[Shryke]

Thanks! Non-sequitor humor is probably my strongest point. And I do LOVE Airplane!

[Cacique]

Looking at her posting history would tell you she isn't a troll. Naive maybe, but troll no.
