Yeah, the leftists were very angry that the fraud they tried to perpetrate was found out.

[Buckhead]

Thanks. Book chapter is excellent.

[Interesting Times]

Thank you. It’s good to see you still stalking the interwebs.

The left was so pissed with buckhead that they hunted down his real life name. He also had to get a different in forum handle.

Yeah, that was why on Thursday or Friday night after the story we all got into an extended "I am Buckhead!" thread a la "I am Spartacus." Funny as hell.

Those certainly were glory days for Freepers. I remember following the threads most of the night after the Rather debacle on TV. I even copied excerpts describing the proof of forgeries with MS Word fonts which I put on the bulletin board at work the next day.

Now it seems that once the stories on how many angels can dance on the head of pins are ignored, along with the whining about which rino doesn't meet some exact agenda, there's not nearly as much substance left.

Here's an update on the first weekend for "Truth" nationwide.

Hollywood whiffed again over the Halloween weekend as four new movies went largely ignored in favor of trick-or-treating. The "60 Minutes II" scandal drama "Truth," with Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford, expanding nationwide, and the horror comedy "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" added to a plague of empty theaters.

-----

Sony Pictures Classics "Truth," which recounts CBS' reporting on President George W. Bush's military service, expanded to 1,120 theaters, but couldn't even crack $1 million. It earned just $901,000.

Thanks for the update. I just hope Redford and Co. signed on to be paid from a percentage of the net. Bwahahahaha!

"La Verdad" es El Flopperoo....

Given the prima donna cast, that probably doesn't even cover the catering bill. Booooooo-oooooo-waaaaaaa-haaaaaa-haaaaaa!
