I don't think you would maliciously lie to us, but that fact sheet could've come from Dan Rather posing as Jayson Blair, who was posing as a reporter & a man.

The rest of the stuff on that list might be true, but I'm sure one of those was actually done by McGyver.

He spoke Klingon fluently? I'm envious! Thanks for the laugh, Lair. I needed it today.

Ummm, we're conservatives here. We don't dance on peoples' graves. I can't believe this was even posted on IMAO.

Actually, I’d have to second Sailor’s sentiment on this one. Wait until the body is at least cold and in the ground. You’ve had too much turkey this week Laurence. I know I probably shouldn’t be the one to remark about the boundaries of taste after making my share of butt ugly nasty and incendiary remarks in the past.

Lighten up. I took it to be more of a slam against J. Blair, not his mentor. I'm sure that any decent person feels a bit of empathy for the family a deceased induvidual, even if it was someone you didn't like.

I think that if it was OBL, Saddam, or that perfectly healthy guy who always has a sob story & tries to bum change from you, you might not feel the same.

Now if it were Cindy She-ham, I'd feel a sense of relief. She would no longer be around to pimp-out her son's legacy for personal gain & notoriety, and he could finally rest in peace.

Well, it's no worse than what this dingbat wrote.

“I think that if it was OBL, Saddam, or that perfectly healthy guy who always has a sob story & tries to bum change from you, you might not feel the same.”

OBL, Saddam and their ilk are murdering criminals guilty of mass genocide. I have no problem with satirizing evil people dead or alive. Gerald Boyd doesn’t fit that category no matter how much I don’t like his politics or how he did his job. It’s not the same thing. Not even close.

I’m not getting uptight about it. Just asking, Do you really want to go in this direction?

Boyd reminds me a lot of another African-American executive who showed lots of promise and skill on the way up, but once he got to a position of power, he became nothing more than an opportunity for individuals without his drive, skill or achievement to take roles they didn't deserve.

The organization suffered for their presence and quiet "diversity" activism.

If only... if only...

Seriously, Neo, I really think it was a swipe at Blair, not Boyd. I doubt Lair or anyone else was rejoicing at the news of his death; it was a joke about his "legacy".

//Do you really want to go in this direction?//

Not to pick at it, whomp on a dead horse or whatever, but those who don't want to read this article won't, and those who read it may choose to comment or not.

One thing I like about Lawerence is his willingness to cross the "offensensitivity" line ( I swear that's a word I saw in a Bloom County cartoon ). It's people like him who keep the PC squad at bay. If we ever get to a point in history that Lair can't poke fun about a famous dead media guy and his left-wing fakish offspring, then Lord have mercy and come back quickly 'cause the islamocommiefacistmflpc's have done taken over.

I would think that deliberately destabilising the world's strongest democracy through the telling of half truths and the publishing of outright obfuscations in what is purportedly "the paper of record" which ends up giving aid and comfort to America's enemies in a time of war rates up there as despicable action.

I couldn't care less about the man's politics, but I do care about the damage that his actions based on those politics have done to the future of our nation.

I'm sorry for his family, and I'm not spitting on the grave, but I'm not mourning him either.

And Lair was in his right to joke. Remember, It's all in, or it's all out. Freedom of speech is a blanket, not a sieve. All or nothing. That's why we despise the PC crowd, remember?

I don't think this post is funny at all. How can you make a joke of the Martian Invasion of 2002? We lost that battle, and a lot of good men in the process. Live long and prosper.
