cacambo - crumb - stickmon -

you are just jealous camilla haters bumbling and fumbling with your inability to finesse your marginalization and reflexive lashing out mameless, faceless while Camille is demonstrating her idealistic, bouncily upbeat character dogged by tacky questions, like a shadowy, hard-bitten wheeler and dealer, a ruthless pursuer of her own sake. True she has a million positions on any question, but who's counting? She just tactically develops a rejection of the official, librul-sanctioned creed rather than the obligatory erasure of references acknowledging the impoverished culture of a rotting corpse declined into trivialities and narcissistic exercises in self-esteem. Once emotionally vibrant and collective in impact she

is a master of ever-evolving personal technology, never ever besieged by the siren call of materialism. A social problem that needs no suppression or eradication - in other words, a gust of déjà vu struggling to retreated into a bubble where the beautiful artifices of the past float like a mirage evidently in the artist's soaring affirmation. Your angry resistance to her unctuous piety of smarmy rote asserting family values and opposing moral relativism is like

a stupid voice crying in the wilderness electrified by her relaxed, genial self-pitying feminazi irony in her smugly caustic references of crackpot right-wing hallucination that misty look of submissive adoration on the road to blondness into every nook and cranny of her credulous mind like messages from an angry god in his gloomy underworld with an adolescent bravado- a mensch!

o- reilly my friend -

it was 'nothing' like the 'mastress' and i will not think nor sleep until i think like Camilla and ride like Camille - what do you think should we found a Camilla fan Club - no Glenn probably wouldn't like it...

i would have loved to be a visting Republican but i am never drawn to reading this type of articles - it's only that Glenn is somewhere in the air (flying) and it is very boring over at UT - but i might come visiting more often because you gals and guys are really having a blast - are you a Beatle fan by chance?

and you sound like fun too -

- 'bigguns' are you only hunting Moose?

kovie - darling -

Glenn Greenwald always satirizes the opinionated and self-righteous. He does it well and never, ever steps out of character. He is an accomplished satirist.

You will find that many at UT would love to imitate Glenn but they almost often fail miserably. The reason is that they do not stay in character. Too many readers who are infrequent readers will think Glenn's regular commenters are all too serious and miss the intent.

It would be best for Glenn's message and work if we had a lot more of this satire attempt but, UT is what it is. It is a reflection of the person who controls it and hence you like it or you go elsewhere.

After reading the above over again in preview, I hope you, kovie, take this as an attack. I hope you see that "satire" is a failure if an idiot needs be told it is satire. One does not have to be told that Heru is an excellent satirst.

On a related note; everybody knows that shooter242 is doing an ongoing Steven Colbert and everybody can tell. It is probably one of Glenn's friends who just has to stir the pot and let the "regulars" bond by having a common enemy. Otherwise I think that this would be an awfully boring blog.

and on an unrelated note -

while Glenn was gone I visited Camilla Pagilla and it was a lot of fun over there - she is really working on refining her shtick - i mean she never will be a Jon Stewart but at least she is trying

and if Heru would read a little bit less over here and a little bit more over there - there could

be hope - and change - you know whatI mean...

wortschmertz -

deine Worte haben mir leichte Schmerzen verursacht, da ich nicht so richtig weiss wie ich sei deuten soll - bist du einer der alten 68er Freunde meines Vaters, der auch nie ueberwunden

hat das das was er unter einer 'Revolution' verstanden hat so boese in die Hose gegangen ist - aber was hat das bitte mit den boyscouts zu tun? Die solltest du bitte aus dem Spiel lassen

oder das t aus dem Schmer()z nehmen.
