Mapes: 'Ha-Ha: Right-Wing Bloggers Don't Matter Any More'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/24/2008 10:04:26 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

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 is so ugly she could make a freight train take a dirt road.

I loved reading those excerpts from Mape’s book where she tells just how distressed she was her 60 Minutes fiction fell flat on it’s face. She went from pure joy over sticking it to Bush to pure terror at being found out. I am so pleased that she told us how she felt so we could gloat.

It’s HAVE FUN WITH MARY DAY!

Go to Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Truth-Duty-Press-President-Privilege/dp/0312354118/

and review her book. Right now there are 66 reviews split down the line giving her a 3 star rating. Let’s see if we can make that 1 star by the end of the day.

Then why do the major newspapers plagiarize our comments??? I've seen that happen more than once.

At first I thought she was talking about the NY Times are the TV network news.

The comments on the original article are scary. They wonder where the 48% of conservatives are coming from. What ARE we thinking? How stupid can we be not to see that the "one' is a centrist?

I wonder where those people get their news. Oh wait....the MSM.

That is one thing I’ve seen over and over: lefties believe everyone on the right is a huge fan of McCain. When they hear otherwise they’re kinda caught speechless.

Liars and cheats always rejoyce when they win what is perceived by themselves as a victory.

In her mind, she’s been right all along.

In FR polls McCain was beaten by everybody except Hillary Clinton and he did not beat HER by that much.

I can't wait to see the egg on their faces when McCain wins!

On the other hand, if Obamination wins, sites like FreeRepublic.com will become all the more important and popular and stronger because, eventually, all Americans will see what a mess they made of electing a communist.

McCain can win but nobody here seems to want to take the time to go to the National Archives and hunt up the Joe Biden mental meltdown video. C-SPAN. 07-23-86. Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. The raw video shows 10 minutes of Biden ranting like a lunatic. Folks are mad at me because I haven't come up with that video yet I've TOLD where it can be found.

You (I mean the general "you," icwhatudo, not you specifically) want to live under a Marxist government because you didn't make the effort to search for that video? Fine by me. If that video can be found, the election dynamics will change BIGTIME. Meanwhile I was just over at early voting and the line is STILL to long to wait on and, believe me, most of those folks are voting for Obama.

Find the Joe Biden video and the election flips immediately.

Mary Mapes, proven liar and fraud, so of course the incompetent so-called “journalist” is still welcome in the media.
