Mapes: 'Ha-Ha: Right-Wing Bloggers Don't Matter Any More'

Mary Mapes is in gloat over-drive. Dan Rather's erstwhile producer, the woman behind Memogate, is beside herself with joy at what she sees as the impending death of the conservative blogosphere.

It's her expectation that Barack Obama will win the presidency that has Mapes so hopeful. Annotated excerpts from her HuffPo column, The Monster is Dying [emphasis added]:

* This whole thing is starting to feel a lot like the climactic death scene at the end of a 1950s monster movie. * Palin actually resembles that old monster movie staple -- the beautiful-but-bookish brunette working as a lab assistant for the older scientist whose irresponsible experiments lead to tragedy.

Gee, with one or two emendations, couldn't that be a description of . . . Mapes herself?

Mary Mapes in schadenfreude mode anticipating death of FR and conservative blogosphere ping to Today show list.

This place was born thanks to klinton. If Obama wins we will only become stronger.

Blogger’s will beat Barack Hussein!

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt...

Mapes.

[FlipWilson]

No, we will have to go undergound. These people are marxists and marxists tolerate NO dissent.

My gosh where do these people get these descriptions and “fantasies”. I mean that is not even intelligent to come up with some 1950 movie with the disgusting descriptions of McCain and Palin. I think this is worse than some of the stuff they have called Palin. This is so low that I am stunned.

but “the monster” got her before we “died” ... didn’t we?

ha ha

[junta]

Hardly, the right wing blogsphere will grow in such proportions in the near term after the election that Mapes won’t know what happened to her fantasy views.

OK, that’s enough Mary, Back to work.

As, I was saying, I’ll have a Whopper with cheese, fries and a medium Coke.

And tell Rather in the back there to make sure the fries are hot this time.

[TommyDale]

And where does Mary “Fake but accurate” Mapes work today?

[TexasCajun]

Where is Mary Today??

She isn't in Hawaii today by chance is she?

Her experiece with forged documents could come in handy today for Senator Obamah!

Someone had to dig this hag up before Halloween.

She’s wrong. I see the leftwing politico sights and lefty bloggers dropping out in droves. One well known lefty site is up for sale now.

Most of those sites began in 2001 to counter the right.

They think they’ve won.

Conservatives will get stronger.

The more you keep us down the more we press on.

Mapes....washed up never was, I doubt she would be allowed access to the Obamao’s premature ejaculation in Chicago on the 4th...

[SolidWood]

We’ll have to relocate FR. The Democrap Govt (Pelosi, Reid and Obomba) will implement their Fairness Doctrine on the Internet as well. Freeping will be a hate crime.
