What's really funny is the complete journalistic incompetence this has shown. It's like I set a booby trap for MSNBC and the Leftover blogosphere. First the Huffington Post and Rachel Maddow erroneously inform everyone that this guide was written by someone in deepest, whitest rural Maine, when I have lived in DC since 1980 (and before that lived for years in Obama's old south side neighborhood in Chicago). Then Maddow comes up with a map of where I told tourists where it would be safe to go on their own, that consist of the Mall, downtown, and West End. When I clearly said all of the red line in Montgomery County and NW DC. And everything west of 14th Street (which includes the historically African American neighborhoods of Crestwood, Shepherd's Park, Colonial Village, and 16th Street Heights). One wonders how many dons one has to blow to get an Oxford PhD when one cannot read? Then the Leftover lemmings from Huffington Post on call me a bigot telling people to avoid gays and racial minorities. When I am openly gay and have dated someone from every race and ethnic group on earth, with the exception of Chechnyans, Aleuts, and Eskimos (and I am currently single so if you are reasonably attractive, a good conversationalist, and are in those groups feel free to give a call). Then MSNBC, which is infamous for having NO African American hosts or co-hosts, employs mush mouthed hack Eugene Robinson on the Maddow show, and that more honest and respectable African American guy who appears on the McLaughlin Group (his name escapes me) to chortle on about how my guide would prevent visiting tea partiers from eating at Ben's Chili Bowl (didn't Michelle Obama say not to eat that stuff?) at 13th and U Streets. Apparently almost all white MSNBC needed a black face to give them some street cred on DC neighborhoods. Now we know that Chris Matthews travels far and wide to find lesbians to molest, sometimes all the way to Burbank, but I suspect I have been out eating and dancing in the New U way more than he has -- and more than Robinson or the other guy. And, as a fake journalists and pretend DC citizens, they seem unaware that the New U clubs had stabbings and shootings that led openly gay left-liberal Democratic city council member Jim Graham to consider shutting them down (http://dcist.com/2007/06/2 9/another_shootin.php). I guess Jim Graham has been a Manchurian candidate all this time, a secret raving right wing member of the tea party. Welcome aboard Jim! Cosmos at 5:00 at JR's? So it is moral and thoughtful to tell tourists to go to this neighborhood at night and to smear me as a racist for telling them not to do so. Right Chrissie! That one tingling synapse in your leg is the only part of your central nervous system that is still alive, you idiot flak. What this whole megillah shows us about the Leftovers is what we knew from the first time high school drop out Janeane Garofalo pronounced on the psychology of tea partiers: the left is intellectually bankrupt. Obama is flailing -- at this point his best strategy would be to campaign FOR GOP candidates. Boxer, Reid et al will soon have to become lobbyists or beg Obama for ambassadorships to support their tax predator ruling elite lifestyles. All the Keynesian hogwash their PR flaks spew is rejected by a growing majority of voters (even if in their own little caves at HuffPo and Salon the inmates think Mises is the plural of mice). They have nothing left but seizing on anything they can and scream racism. The one tool in their box, and it no longer works. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
