'Rand Fan' Impersonator Apologizes for Being an Idiot and Quits Columnist Job
NewsBusters ^ | August 31, 2010 | P.J. Gladnick

Does anybody out there remember Tyler Collins who earlier this month had the distinction of performing perhaps the worst political impersonation ever recorded? Collins later claimed that his "performance" at Kentucky's annual Fancy Farm picnic was just satire but for satire to work, it must have even a slight degree of credibility. Nobody bought Tyler's obvious act which was so humiliating that all he accomplished was embarrassing himself and becoming a Web laughingstock. In fact, "Rand Fan" Collins, who was also a columnist for the Crittenden Press, was so embarrassing in his entirely unconvincing role as a Tea Partier that even former fake Washington Post "conservative" Dave Weigel panned his pathetic act:

When Collins was young and irresponsible, he was young and irresponsible. He's not the first kid to play dress-up to make fun of a politician he dislikes, and he won't be the last. But he really should have dropped the ruse when he was caught; he must realize now that he's become a cause celebre for activists who claim that all "racism" in the tea party is fake.

The sad truth is that they believe they are SO-O-O-O-O MUCH SMARTER than their enemies, we Conservatives. He probably never for a minute dreamed we would catch on, and was sure his denial would be sufficient for the dolts on the right. Look who’s laughing NOW!!!

Fake but accurate. The Journolist-type media pundits are doing all they can to thwart the American system.

Go pure Pravda if you have to.

A dirty stain on the once “noble” profession of journalism.
