Larry Johnson’s down with the Zig:
I wonder if Larry’s still waiting for his friend to get him a copy of that Michelle Obama “whitey” tape.

O, I died laughing, just now. Poor Larry.

I don’t even want to get gay married. These dickwads are getting me ever more inclined to do so, if only to ram it down their throats. And such as.

Hell, I’m not even GAY and I’m inclined to get gay married for the very same REASON. Figure that one out.

Tweet(y) outrage.

That’s just too many kinds of WRONG !!!

Well I never!

One cubic centimetre cures ten gloomy sentiments.

Google Street View of the location is linked in my previous comment.

A choice comment from No Quarter:

Also, I believe when a sidewalk is campus perimeter or alongside a roadway it IS considered public property regardless of the enity’s status. That wasn’t entirely obvious from the video — was the street in the background a ‘roadway sidewalk’ or campus thruway ?

Or look at a campus map–available at the usc.edu website–

But I can tell you–Annenenberg is smack dab in the middle of campus. Not on the periphery.

FWIW–right across from Heritage Hall, home of the athletic dept.

wouldn’t you radio in a possible 10-51?

Nope, that’s obviously a textbook 5150. Book’em, Dano.

It’s been ages since I’ve waded through a FloBee Comment Section, but many are suggesting that Greta Van Susteren was right to suggest Ziegler retain an attorney.

Which of course makes one wonder how shitty an attorney Greta Van Susteren is.

I know! It’s almost like he’s lost all inhibition. As if he were crocked off his ass, or something. I’m thinking three-martinis-two-xanax, but I might be off by a pill or two.

The Dating Game remains his best work. Like the Tea Parties, I wish they’d throw a Ziegler every week!

PLEASE let this happen. ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease

That dating show…oh my fucking god! You just know that the camera crew were suppressing laughter through it all, and thinking, “We’ve got a live one here. This is great!” Belittling the entire female gender with your mouth full, yeah, that’s gonna get you laid tonight, dude. That girl was remarkably patient.

This Ziegler character is pure gold. When the righties are tired of the snooty intellectual elitism of Glenn Beck and “Joe” the “Plumber”, I hope our John is ready to step into the spotlight as the new face of the conservative movement.

Huh. I wonder. If there were only some way to tell.

Some way to tell, part II

However, according to Grant, Ziegler showed up for the event making unexpected demands. He was no longer a demonstrator. Now, he was a journalist, with cameramen in tow, insistent that he had a right to enter the event. Told that the event was invitation only, Ziegler contended that he had the right to range up and down the entryway and stick microphones into the faces of attendees.

Said Grant, ‘The University both respects and facilitates the right to free speech, but we reserve the right to set reasonable ground rules that respect the rights of everyone, and provide for the safety and security of the University community.’ Ziegler, opting against the ground rules that had been mutually agreed to, was given the choice of leaving campus or being arrested, and eventually chose to leave campus.

Yeah, so did Obama saying they weren’t to be used in the future, and that interrogators are limited by the Army Field Manual, international law, etc.

“To witness?” Religious conflation or crappy writing? Oh. Both. OK.

He also lades on the adverbs and apparently doesn’t know another word for “literally.”

PROTIP: If one is going to be a smart ass, perhaps one should spell-check first.

Nah, I think Zeigler’s characterization of Katie’s softball questions like “What newspapers do you read?” as “blatant, left-wing advocacy journalism” gets the award.

I mean, crossed-up by Katie “Colon” Curic? There’s dumb and then there’s Palin dumb.

The most pathetic, fucked up part of this ridiculous mess is the fact that someone decided to give Katie Couric an award for merely doing what a journalist is supposed to do.
