UPDATE. Striking dKos diarists writing HRC's Bosnia fantasies?

I just read this on the Drudge report so you know it might not be true. It might not have even been on the Drudge Report. It might have been at the Onion. Or perhaps it was a dream. So I chose not to use anyone's name, because, well, that might be construed as, well, you know, a "misstatement."  And I know it's against the rules to call out a diarist in the title. So I put a ? at the end of it, though I hated to. But what the heck has alegre been doing to fill up her/his/its day, anyway?
UPDATE:RubyGal answers my question:life is imitating my snark. O  M  G  !

George Bush said it best:"it's hard to put food on your family."
Everybody's got to do it, whatever it takes. I think the striking dkos diarists must be under tremendous pressure, with those dkos checks not coming in....
So I'm willing to cut alegre some slack. HRC also. But I really would suggest that this kind of writing might be better utilized for a Jack Bauer script, or even writing for Fox News.

That's my recommendation, for what it's worth.

Cause whoever you are, your work, at present, stinks.

    •  I Saw The Movie

      M I S S I S S I P P I        (1935)

             ^{(Note:  W.C. Fields = Commodore Jackson)}

      Commodore Jackson: My last encounter with the redskins was over thirty-five years ago. I was a mere stripling.

      Skeptical Passenger in pilot house: Is that so?
      [skeptically]

      Commodore Jackson: I whipped out my revolver...

      Skeptical Passenger in pilot house: Revolvers weren't invented thirty-five years ago.
      [sneering]

      Commodore Jackson: Uh... uh... I know that, but the Indians didn't know it. It doesn't matter - I threw it away.

      Female passenger: Oh, how exciting - please don't interrupt.

      Commodore Jackson: I had just swum the rapids. I had my canoe under one arm and a Rocky Mountain goat under the other.

      Skeptical Passenger in pilot house: How could you swim without the use of your arms?

      Commodore Jackson: Uh, uh... in those days I had, uh, I had very strong legs. Uh, excuse me
      [sheepishly doffs hat to woman]
      Commodore Jackson: , very strong limbs.

      Female passenger: You must have been full of fire in your youth.

      Commodore Jackson: I had to carry fire insurance until I was over forty. As I arrived at the river bank, I was encountered by the entire tribe of the Shug Indians. The most ferocious... have you ever been to Shug country?

      Skeptical Passenger in pilot house: No, I haven't.
      [glaring at the Commodore]

      Commodore Jackson: Uh, that's fine. I unsheathed my Bowie knife and
      [slowly and dramatically]
      Commodore Jackson: cut a path through this wall of human flesh, dragging my canoe behind me.

      Female passenger: [collapsing] Oh, oh, oh... oh.

      Commodore Jackson: Ah, I'm sorry. Perhaps I've gone too far.

      Skeptical Passenger in pilot house: What, what happened to the goat?
      [no trace of skepticism]

      Commodore Jackson: He was very good with mustard.

•  They are not on STRIKE

  American Axle is on strike, grovery store workers are preparing for a possible strike, California Nurses are on strike.

  The cry-baby diarists who called them selves "strikers" have no freaking clue what it is to be on Strike.  Please re-title and call them boycotters or cry-babies or hissyfitters, but don't call them strikers, please!!

  What are you doing to get progressives elected?
  What are you doing to stop the war?

  What are you doing writing a nondiary snark about something best left alone?

      •  You are right...this was yesterday and not

        today...curious I would say, nonetheless...

        by RubyGal on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 03:23:11 PM PDT

  •  Sigh...

    That diary has a gross error in only the second parapgraph:

    But let's get one thing clear here boys & girls - she was flying into a combat zone.  Something that I'm pretty sure her rival for this nomination has ever done and (I'm pretty sure) never will do any time soon.

    I expect that the intended statement was "her rival for this nomination has [n]ever done..." otherwise it doesn't make sense.

    Sigh  

    January 5, 2006. Sen. Barack Obama, who has fiercely criticized the Bush administration's Iraq policy from afar, departed late Wednesday for his first tour of Iraq on the opening segment of a weeklong trip to the Middle East.

    I sure hope the defense of the error is that Iraq is not a combat zone--that'd be the John McCain script!

    Sigh. Further evidence that seesdifferent may be on to something...some stuff is just so easily verified.

    by sawgrass727 on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 01:02:19 PM PDT

•  Interesting...

  that no one is actually addressing any of the points in Alegre's diary.

  You're just all piling on Hillary, as if there aren't enough diaries on this site for you to do that.

  I'm just curious whether anyone has any rebuttals to the points Alegre makes about Obama and his "misstatements."

  by Angry Mouse on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 12:57:18 PM PDT

  •  why don't you re-post it as a diary?

    that way it would get the attention it deserves.

    Put up or..........

    by seesdifferent on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 01:06:19 PM PDT

    •  Not my diary.

      So I wouldn't want to repost it under my name.

      I'm just saying...Did anyone even go to the link?  Or is this just another dump on Hillary diary?

      I followed the link and read Alegre's diary.  And I think she makes some interesting points.  I would love to see how Obama supporters respond to those points, but somehow I doubt that will happen.

      by Angry Mouse on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 01:09:24 PM PDT

      •  the link add

        was after the comment.  Alegre wrote her diary yesterday.  This guy did this snark without knowing about the diary, so there is no relationship except coincidence.  

        And an odd idea that her diary yesterday imitates his snark written today.

        I am going on to something interesting.  I encourage you to do the same.

        by crazyshirley2100 on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 01:14:25 PM PDT

        •  No.

          The diary on which you and I are commenting -- by sessdifferent -- contains a link to Alegre's diary over on MyDD.

          Did you read it?  Do you have any response to it?

          I think it's interesting.  I think it's a shame Alegre is no longer posting on DailyKos so that people around here could read it and respond to it.

          She lists several examples of Obama making "misstatements," and I'm very interested to know how Obama supporters would respond to those examples.

          by Angry Mouse on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 01:17:07 PM PDT

          •  Yes, I read it yesterday on MyDD

            It is interesting to see the other side.  You do not see it on dkos much.  

            When she did, most people did not engage in a discussion.  They just piled on and flamed them down.

            Why she doesn't post here anymore.  

            The thing to be noted is that it is all in the spin. Much of this post is on Clinton's fact check site.  The MSM is not interested in her rebuttals as they sometimes are not interested in Obama's.  Truth is boring.  Only spin is fun for the MSM.

            By the way, I am an Obama supporter.  

            by crazyshirley2100 on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 01:27:34 PM PDT

            •  Agreed.

              This is all spin.  There has never been a campaign in my short lifetime in which political opponents (and the media, of course) did not try to find dirt to show that the other guy lied or "misstated" something.  Remember when Al Gore "lied" about inventing the internet?  

              Unfortunately, that is the nature of politics.

              by Angry Mouse on Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 01:30:56 PM PDT

      •  I read it

        and quite a few people there handily rebutted her points. My favorite was the prof/lecturer one.

•  my theory of the bosnia story

  Has anyone heard anything from Karen Hughes lately? Maybe she is moonlighting by writing Hillary's stump speeches. After the way she reinvented George W., it is entirely possible that she could be the one creating all of the "First Lady as secret weapon in international conflicts" theme. Well, my first thought on her Bosnia story was that it was hacked together by a speech writer and Hill just went with it, and kept going until it was a humiliation.
