Just like the Fox “Alleged” News Network, P.J. Gladnick seems to believe that if something is said often enough (you know, like “fair and balanced” news!) people will eventually believe it to be true.

I bring this up because of the curiosity of a writer for a right wing blog –NewsBusters– who proudly proclaims once receiving an “award from the Soviet Union!” Now, I made several trips to the Soviet Union and wrote about my experiences there…and I can tell you that no one I ever met there during the Soviet regime would look kindly on any American who proudly claims to be the winner of an award from the Soviets. In fact, I also know lots of FBI and CIA folk and I can tell you for a fact, they would would find such a boast from an American appalling. Maybe there was an award from Osama Bin Laden, too???

Yes, I know Gladnick (and why hide behind “P.J.?” To conceal the true name and purpose,perhaps?) has invented all manner of excuses in writings for this dip behind the Iron Curtain, but when someone says, “I was a Commie Writer!!!“–well, need we go much further in our explorations? Why waste the time.

All of this gets me thinking, though. Gladnick loves to refer to the writers at the Daily Kos as “KOmmies.” Now I’m wondering if he’s secretly using this as a term of endearment . . . hmmmm? Is the proud Rightie a closet Leftie?

I focus on this because of the attention one of my postings has received from Mr? Miss? Ms? Gladnick (when you use P.J.–who knows what gender we are dealing with here? Perhaps a surgically altered one??).

Mr/Ms./Miss Gladnick claims “exposure” (a curiously sexual word for a right-wing purist, don’t you think?) of my true political leanings! Well, as they say in Brooklyn, no shit Sherlock, it doesn’t take a freaking genius to figure out where someone stands politically who says and believes that the Bush administration is the most dangerous in the history of our republic. It is.

But, it also doesn’t take much detective work to find out that Mr./Ms./Miss Gladnick actually thinks the Clinton administration was far more dangerous because Gladnick actually suggested in a failed Saturday Night Live sketch that the President of the United States played some role in the suicide of Vincent Foster! If Mr./Ms./Miss Gladnick has evidence to support this, murder has no statute of limitations…so I beg that this be turned over at once to the proper law enforcement authorities. Concealing evidence of a homicide, by the way, is illegal in all states and under federal law.

Oh–and, it is a bit hard to tell because of the “P.J.” gimmick, but are those same initials behind an article that some might argue favored “Aztec human sacrifice?”

“NewsBusters”–says it is “exposing and combating liberal media bias”–with self-proclaimed Communist writers? What a refreshing concept.

Hey Paul, we all know “Ol’ PJ is a shameless publicity hound“, but its time to move on, pal! If you want, I’ll even add you to my MySpace friends list so you’re not left alone with Tom.
