We all know about the prediction track record of William Rivers Pitt. Remember how dead on he was early this year with his prediction that Martha Coakley would beat Scott Brown in the Senate race from Massachusetts? He was so sure of his prediction, he told us we could "bank it!" And, of course, there is the most famous Pitt prognostication of them all...that Karl Rove would be indicted on May 12, 2006. But hey, he could still be right on that one because 24 business hours have not elapsed. Anyway, with that track record you would figure that...

Is William Rivers Pitt out at TruthOut? His last article, Seeing The Elephant was from over two weeks ago. He is still listed in the TruthOut masthead but they don't update those things right away. I do notice that Jason Leopold has had quite a few TruthOut articles lately. Bad blood between the Pittster and Leopold? If Pitt is OUT at TruthOut, where does he go from there? The last few months which included his banishment from DUmmieland for angry drunken rants in which he threatened violence upon a homeless woman have been a long descent into well-deserved obscurity for...

Imagine if a Serb by the name of Gavrilo Princip wrote an essay about himself and happened to leave out the part about assassinating Archduke Ferdinand which led to the outbreak of WWI? Well, something almost as absurd happened when WILLIAM RIVERS PITT wrote an an essay about himself and just so happened to leave out his leading role in perpetrating Hoaxmas which was the "scoop" about how Karl Rove was indicted on May 12, 2006. You can see Pitt's self glorifying essay at TRUTHOUT and in DUmmieland where one of his minions reposted it. So let us watch...

Pied Piper Pitt has been Tombstoned! I repeat. Pied Piper Pitt has been TOMBSTONED from DUmmieland. DUmmie Administrator EarlG EXPLAINS: For the record Last night Will Pitt repeatedly threatened another member with physical violence. After the moderators deleted those messages he sent the threats again to the member via private message, during which he challenged the member to report his behavior to the moderators, implying that he would not be held accountable for his actions. We don't enjoy banning people, particularly people who have been here a long time. WilliamPitt left us absolutely no choice in this matter. This...

Will wonders never cease? Wee Willie Pitt has gotten a JOB! As a BOUNCER, no less! Remember Pitt's Bukowski buddy Ty the Bouncer? Well, Pitt has BECOME Ty the Bouncer! Trust-fund baby, pedagogue, pundit, press secretary, best-selling author, essayist, activist, ditch-stander-inner, indictment-scooper--now add BOUNCER to the résumé! Is there no LIMIT to this man's talents? Read about it here in this THREAD, "Do The Right Thing." How the mighty have fallen! You see, once upon a time, Our Boy was a rising star in the progressive ranks. Pied Piper to the DUmmies, Wee Willie had attracted quite a following....

There is nothing that William Rivers Pitt loves more than putting on his Pretend Pundit cap and prognosticate as some sort of political insider for the DUmmies. We have seen this many times and Will inevitably ends up with egg on his face. Remember that courtroom somewhere in Ohio where lawyers for John ("I served in Vietnam") Kerry supposedly filed papers that would somehow overturn the 2004 presidential election? That was a Pitt "scoop." Oh, and Obama would have no problem getting ObamaCare passed because he "parked it" according to Pitt after one of his many boring speeches on...

Once upon a time there was a Trust Fund Kid who was bored with his life. His biggest accomplishment had been to co-author a BOOK (#912,129 on Amazon) with the now disgraced SCOTT RITTER. As you can see by the Amazon numbers, the book made barely a ripple on the ocean of fame. Meanwhile how to put himself front and center? The answer was to throw a Hail Mary pass to get himself into the limelight in the form of a journalistic "scoop." It didn't seem like such a big gamble at the time, May 2006. David Shuster of...

A certain name is missing in this DUmmie THREAD, "Sex sting in Poconos nets former chief U.N. weapons inspector (Scott Ritter)," about the pal of one William Rivers Pitt getting busted for being a pervo. I'll give you a hint: This person is currently very ACTIVE in DUmmieland yet still refrains from posting on the Bust Thread despite co-authoring a book with him. Or is this missing person really posting anonymously as a Temporary SockPuppet or in another guise? So let us now watch as the DUmmies ponder the bust of one Scott Ritter in Bolshevik Red while the...

Mumsy and Daddy invested some big bucks in your trust fund and what do you have to show for it? Other than heavily investing in "liquid assets" at Bukowski's and shelling out of pocket for vanity press books that only a few friends read, not much. Oh sure, there was that big Hail Mary pass on May 12, 2006 that looked like a sure thing. Unfortunately Karl Rove was NOT indicted and with his non-indictment any chance that the political establishment would take you seriously went up in smoke. Yes, if the indictment had happened William Rivers Pitt would...

When I was a kid, one of my favorite TV shows was the "Thunderbirds," a "Supermarionation" series about the Tracy family and their International Rescue team. There would be trouble somewhere in the world, and, from their secret island base, the IR crew would fire up their jets and rush to the rescue. "Thunderbirds Are GO!" That picture came to my mind when I read this THREAD from Pied Piper Pitt, in which he issues the "Go" order to his DU crew. "DUmmies Are GO!" I think Pitt fancies himself as Jeff Tracy or Scott Tracy, or maybe as...

Pied Piper Pitt periodically feels a need to pontificate, and Christmas/New Year's is just such an occasion. Pitt bids farewell to this YEAR by bidding farewell to this awful DECADE, in order to a) bash Bush and b) distract attention from Obambi and this Year of Living Changerously. And through it all, Wee Willie manages to say . . . almost nothing. But it does allow him to pontificate from on high . . . atop his barstool at Bukowski's. And it does allow US to have some FUn with the DUmmies, which is our "mission statement" here at...

Have you noticed that William Rivers Pitt loves sitting in judgment of others? Nothing the perpetrator of the Karl Rove indictment hoax loves better than getting up on his high horse and delivering a lecture on the failings of people such as when when he delivered a SERMON on journalistic ethics to Richard Cohen. Ironically that Pitt sermon was delivered on May 10, 2006, just two days before the infamous Karl Rove indictment...according to a Pitt "scoop." So now here is Pitt telling Obama that "he parked it" in his Afghanistan speech last night. Oops! Actually he told Obama...

The gasbag has landed! No, not the good ship Jiffy Pop. No, I'm talking about "Baloney Boy" Will Pitt. Mr. Pitt has just gotten back from his honeymoon! Our Little Willie is now a married man! WOOOO HOOOO!!!!! Congrats, Will! We here at DUmmie FUnnies are very happy for you and your bride, and we wish you all the best. I'm series. If I could, I would buy you a beer at Bukowski's and raise a toast in your honor. Li'l Beaver would give you a cigar. We may have our political differences--oh, kind of like the difference between...

(Richard Heene, father of Balloon Boy Falcon, is sitting in his backyard with his head in his hands. Falcon walks up to him and Heene looks up sadly.) BALLOON DAD: Why Falcon? Why did you tell Wolf Blitzer on live TV that I told you to hide in the attic for the show? BALLOON BOY: Because that is what you did tell me, Dad. BALLOON DAD: But that was the real reality we must never talk about. What counts is TV reality. And now I can never return to TV reality shows like "Wife Swap." My credibility was blown...

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...

Remember William Rivers Pitt proclaiming He Parked It about Obama's ObamaCare speech last week? Please toss that down the memory hole. What has inevitably happened with most of Pitt's pompous pronouncements is that he has done a complete 180 as you in this THREAD, "Back to the Health Care Drawing Board." The new operative phrase is "He Blew It" and we will get to the full money quote later in this DUFU edition. However, is anyone here really surprised? One of the things that Pitt is most famous for is his perpetual self-contradiction. Want Pitt to change his mind?...

Note to William Rivers Pitt. You're political poison to the Democrats. Get used to it. Your Fitzmas Hail Mary pass stating that Karl Rove had been indicted on May 12, 2006 has rendered you permanently toxic to that party. Even a NUtcase like Van Jones got hired while you still languish in trust fund kid obscurity. So the little grandstand stunt you pulled tonight sucking up to Obama minutes after his speech even earned you the disgust of your fellow DUmmies. Nice try, Will, but your suckup THREAD, "He parked it" accomplished you nothing but the mockery of many...

(WARNING: Extreme hypocrisy alert! If what you read below revolts you, don't say you weren't warned in advance).Did you know that there is a new religion out there? In addition to the Eastern Orthodox Catholics, Anglican Catholics, and Roman Catholics, there is now something called "Kennedy Catholics." At least according to the suddenly devout William Rivers Pitt in his DUmmie THREAD, "For any and all Kennedy Catholics on this page." Fasten your seatbelts because you will see the exact same folks who have no problem cursing out people who attend real (not Kennedy) Catholic churches suddenly become exceeding reverent,...

Are you ready for a shock? The Bush Administration authorized the CIA to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden and other top Al Qaeda leaders. GASP! The next thing you know, there will be a shocking revelation that professional wrestling is fixed. And now the hero of the Karl Rove indictment scoop of May 12, 2006 wants an investigation of Dick Cheney for somehow withholding from Congress something which was already published in the New York Times and which everybody down to small kids already knew---a program to kill or capture terrorists. Police captain Louis Renard is shocked, shocked,...

Thanx to the "Humbled" Telescope (as Charles Henrickson labeled it) we now have closeup photos of the Planet Pitt from across the galaxy. It all started when Charles posted this photo of Pied Piper Pitt in the Free Republic thread of yesterdays DUFU blog sucking down a cigarette so as to maximize the amount of nicotine in his lungs: Using that photo, your humble correspondent used the Humbled Telescope to bring you a closeup shot of the Planet Pitt. This was when astronomical creativity took off. First Charles labeled the photo as: The Karl Rover Explores Planet Pitt. This...
