ABOVE: James Percival Hoft, Fourth Earl of
Grosconnard and First Pundit of Gateway


The amateur detectives and kerning squads of the wingnut blogosphere have been embarrassing themselves lately with the newly-released White House visitor list, apparently unaware that different people can have the same names. Nobody, of course, jumps to a foolish conclusion faster and with more invigorating elan than Jim Hoft, aka the Gateway Pundit, who is convinced that one of the visitors to the White House is Angela Davis, an open member of the Communist Party USA and close buddy of Fidel Castro. This is further proof, of course, that Obama is a Communist parading around as a Democrat just so that he can hoist the hammer and sickle over the White House and force all American children to work on collectivist goat cheese farms.

Now, of course, it’s just plain stupid for people to imagine that the William Ayers on the White House list is, you know, the “ghost writer” for the illiterate President. Everyone knows that Obama is smart enough to make sure that his real confabs with Ayers are top, toppity, top-top secret, are conducted in disguise (usually with fake moustaches, dishdashas, and Ray-Bans), and aren’t conducted in the Oval Office but instead in the basement of a suburban safe house. But the Angela Davis mistake is, well, just flat-out, mouth-slobbering, nose-picking-in-public stupid. Both people named “Angela Davis” on the White House list have different middle initials than Angela Y. Davis, the person that Hoft was thinking about, although in Hoft’s case the word “thinking” is merely a metaphorical representation of the random synapse firing that causes Hoft to wake up with a start from time to time from continual bouts of narcolepsy.

Hoft links to an obscure wingnut blog that was pushing the Angela Davis story apparently unaware that the blog was later shamed into acknowledging its mistake and came up with one of the more novel fail recovery arguments ever. The list, you see, was larded with common and easily mistaken names as a crude practical joke designed to trap conservative bloggers into saying something stupid. Yowser. That’s like blaming the bottle of vodka for a DWI . . . and really meaning it.

    Even by the epically low standards of the modern Right, Gateway is a joke.

    Honestly, this sad lot of anti-intellectuals are starting to make me nostalgic for the heyday of Gingrich and co; douchebag or not, at least Newt could string an idea together without bleeding to death through his nose.

    The names don’t belong to who we thought, but Obama surely would prefer that they did — and isn’t that just as bad?

    In fact, EVEN WORSE.

    Wait — so he didn’t really meet at the White House with the Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence, but some other guy named “Tom Jefferson”? Yeah. Right. I think that’s pretty unlikely that there would be two people with such a name.

    The reason why those false positives are on the list — causing Gunner Hoft to step back on his own kumara* — is that someone specifically asked “Have people with the following names visited the White House during the period of interest?”

    Now you might think that this makes Hoft’s excuse look even more responsibility-shifting and stupid. But who asked, eh? Can we rule out the possibility that it was a ringer from the Obama administration, posing these patsy questions in the express intention that the answers would “trap conservative bloggers into saying something stupid?” I thought not.

    The redeeming aspect of this is that at least the villains in charge of the White House are actually competent for a change, coming up with genuinely Machievellian schemes, the way that villains are supposed to.

    I have a question: can anyone who visits the White House write anything on the visitor logs, or is it done by staff? I ask this as someone who has used… different names from my own while visiting historic sites and such in the past. I still have Mr. Art Vandelay’s Safeway savings card, for instance. I forgot who I registered for at Basha’s supermarket. But I haven’t been Aragorn deNumenor ever since the movies came out, as it’s just not that funny anymore and now I’m from the Southwest rather than a traveler from the North.

    “A pint. That’s not drinking.”

I mean, it’s obvious that bin Laden would use a pseudonym when signing in, so the fact that his real name doesn’t show up on the list is almost proof that he was actually there.

    Hmmm. yes. Being gay automatically made Gannon a credible journalist, just as being a woman made Palin a credible VP.

    Maybe most of us care more about actual qualifications instead of sexuality.

    CLGrrl, Just because Jeff Gannon and David Gregory are male prostitutes doesn’t necessarily mean that they are homosexuals. They could be merchantile heteros, or bisexuals, or trisexuals (they’ll try anything.) or quadrasexuals (they’ll do anything to anybody, for a quarter.). Your insistence that its a nonstory (in bizarre detail, unheard-of) is belied by Bush’s first-name relationship with them during news conferences and gaps in the WH visitors log for JG’s presence.

    Ya see those funny little things at the beginning of the sentence and then again at the end? Those are called “quotation marks.” (see, there they are!)
    They indicate that the sentence came from somewhere, in this case a published article. Jeff Gannon obtains one of the most sought-after press credentials in the world, despite the fact he has no journalistic training, no experience and no association with a credible news outlet. He asks excruciatingly friendly and biased questions to the President of the United States all while he is peddling his ass online at $200 an hour. I think that’s kinda odd.

    “When, oh when, will the Democratic Party finally come to their senses and demand that this man resign from office?”

    When he actually commits an impeachable offense? Offer to impeach for real crimes has no actual cash value, is non-transferable, and is not valid for Republican presidents.

    “ive seen nothing to show that the rest of the names are not matches to the people we think they are.”
    ….
    …It is not that it is not true.

    A truly brilliant non-correction correction that demands readers supply the forever absent follow-up clause, it’s just that I can’t prove it.

    “What does it say about Obama that we believed this was true?” is central to their points.

    And when GWB was at Yale, he was part of Skull & Bones, which WRESTLES NAKED and also requires pledges MASTURBATE TO AN AUDIENCE.
    Did our 44th President masturbate to an audience, wrestle naked, brand asses (perhaps having his own ass branded), and belong to a fraternity at Dartmouth, and have a personal relationship with a male prostitute with unusually lenient visiting privileges at the White House?

    “Ayers”: A surname (common: 1 in 5882 families; popularity rank in the U.S.: #677)
    “William”: Name: A male given name (very common: 1 in 40 males; popularity rank in the U.S.: #5)

    See, it would be suspicious if someone named William Ayers did not visit the White House. Obviously, that would indicate a cover-up.

    Factual piece of evidence: The Republican candidate for NY-23 is no longer in the race.
    Factual piece of evidence: That district has elected Republicans for decades if not since the Civil War.
    Factual piece of evidence: The former Republican candidate has endorsed the current Democrat running for the seat.

    Somehow all of that translates into proof Republicans are making a comeback.

    I’m not sure I understand how the whole purge thing is supposed to work. Is the GOP setting new record lows for party ID and record highs for disapproval because it’s too moderate? Really?

    What happened to teh Boosh Boogeyman? I thought the only reason for the ’06 amd ’08 blowouts was because everyone hated Chimpy McFlightsuit. I suppose it’s my poor memory that’s skewing my view, but I don’t think people hated Bush because he was too moderate.

    I guess it’s that whole faith thing they have. Faith in “conservatism”, which can not fail, but can only be failed. And the only way “conservatism” can be failed, is by not being “conservative” enough. So of course the answer to the mass exodus from the GOP is banishment of anyone left that might leave later.

    “Judgement” is not a misspelling.

    The “judgment” abortion only came about because some smartass decided he should “Americanize” certain spellings. “Judgment” is not only a stupid way to spell it, it’s phonetically wrong. There’s a reason to put an “e” at the end of “judge” – it’s your cue as to the sound of the “g”. Phonetically, the retarded “judgment” spelling, sounded out, results in “judd – GUH – ment”, not “judd-je-ment” as we all know it is actually, you know, pronounced.

    Think I’m wrong? Ok. “Lug” and “luge”. “Hug” and “huge”. “Gag” and “gage”. “Rag” and “rage”.

    Letters, like words, have meanings – in this case, to tell you how the word is pronounced. So, aside from “judgement” being the MORE correct spelling, it’s also an accepted variant to the retarded American “simplification” of the spelling. It’s not “incorrect”.

    Then again, I wouldn’t expect a douchebag troll to get that.

    Remember when they found out that a guy named Ahmad Hikmat Shakir Azzawi was in al-Qaeda and a guy named Hikmat Shakir Ahmad who was in Saddam’s Fedayeen? And there was this massive outpouring of HA WE TOLD YOU, LOOK, THEY ARE PRACTICALLY THE SAME THING!

    And also Saddam Hussein had a secretary named Ali, and Muhammad Ali once met a guy named Hussein. COINCIDENCE, OR PSYCHIC PHENOMENON?

    The deal is. I could care less about the communist visitors to the White House. I could care less about Republicans or Democrats. Thing is its nice to see a little justice here. Iraq chopping up a people who did absolutely nothing too you. All, the while you walked around like the big stupid asses you are. Pretending nothing is wrong.

    Know what your still doing it. You think its all gone. Well guess what sparky. It’s not. Rocky the squirrel could run a government better than you people. Your self – righteousness is nothing but a inverted, perverted bum puking in lower Manhattan.

    Everything is a discussion. Nothing but talk. Heres one for you. Time to try on the clothes you made everyone else wear. See how it fits. I’m not smiling. I’m laughing.

    Somehow, the Angela Davis tale reminds me of the time my Daddy had explained to me how Castro was a very bad man and how we had to fight Communism because all the Commies did was drag people into prisons and make everyone wear the same colors; and the very next day I was in the car with my mother and we passed a furniture store that had a big sign, “Castro Convertibles.” I was incensed that this terrible man was allowed to sell his couches in America.

    Of course, I was five at the time. What’s their excuse?
