Still Waiting

It’s the days when this job’s the easiest that it’s also the saddest. Seriously, a site named “eat crow dot org” and dedicated to clinging desperately to an unlucky guess in the face of all observable evidence could be beaten only by some hypothetical site of rabidly conservative amateurish web video called “Hot Air,” or something. But that would never exist. Right?

Finally, New Media Iconoclasts Daring Enough to be Against Bloggers and the MSM

Dear “Eat Crow Dot Org,”

While we appreciate the spirited venom of your only two posts, castigating those “bloggers, forumists, and mainstream media (MSM) pundits” stupid enough to be skeptical of Jason Leopold’s thus-far unconfirmed story that HE AND ONLY HE KNOWS FOR SURE THAT KARL ROVE HAS BEEN INDICTED, the traditional period for crow-eating is, in fact, after one has been been proved wrong. As it is now Wednesday evening, and, thus far, Karl Rove does not seem to have been indicted, we find ourselves confused by the victorious tone of your new venture.

It is worth noting, for the record, that we believe a) that Karl Rove will be indicted eventually, probably soon, and b) that Jason Leopold no longer writes for Salon or Raw Story* because his anonymous sources have a habit of overselling their insider knowledge and a tradition of gun-jumping.

Yours,
Wonkette

P.S. Wonkette has EXCLUSIVELY LEARNED from our TOP SECRET SOURCES that Katherine Harris has LOST HER BID FOR THE FLORIDA SENATE. While her spokesperson denies it, we have a number of confidential sources in the Florida press who have confirmed it on background. While no one can say when it will be announced officially, we know ALL OF YOU WILL BE SORRY YOU DIDN’T BELIEVE US ONCE YOU READ IT IN YOUR SO-CALLED MSM.

Update: *Leopold insists that he no longer writes for Raw Story for monetary reasons, and that sounds just as likely as anything else. Nothing against the guy, we just think this story is still in the wishful thinking phase.
