What, no pitting for Alex or Jon?

Jon/John Corzine/Corsine/Corslime is a Hero of the American Left? I. Did. Not. Know. That.

Apparently I missed that issue of the Politburo Newsletter. In fact I think I just assumed he was a Republican because of his past association with Goldman Brothers or Lehman Sacks or whatever.

Now Alex/c Baldwin, I get that. See, he was on that show with Tina Fey, and she made fun of Sarah Palin. So of course The Liberals worship him.

But then I never watched that show, and my most recent memory of him is the aforementioned tape of him verbally abusing his daughter. In fact in Otis’s defense I have been a little bewildered of the complete rehabilitation of his reputation based on the success of that TV show.

Otis of course is a shining example of the American Right. Stupid, smug and jousting at imaginary opponents on the Left. What’s the matter Otis, you get bored with The War On Christmas? Tired of constantly moaning how a White Christian Man can’t get a break in this country? Death Panels too 2009? The Overwhelming Threat of Sharia Law not making your saliva froth anymore?

I recall a similar strategy that surfaced when it finally became obvious that the Vietnam war was a complete clusterfuck. At the time it was called “Declare victory and get out.” Works just about as well now as it did then.

So we’re liberal excusers for not pitting these two?

But you couldn’t be arsed to pit them either. So I guess you’re no better, right?

He did?

I think we need a new forum for outrage over lack of outrage. We could call it the Outhouse.

Hmmm. I failed to pit these two, so I guess I’m a liberal now too. I feel…dirty.

And when’s the last time you pitted Janeane Garofalo or Michael Moore?

Liberalism is only dirty if it’s done right.

Why, yes, yes he is. Watch this clip of Jon Stewart praising his hero -

On top of calling Baldwin “Alex” twice, he spelled Corzine “Corsine” at the beginning of his second paragraph.

Ah, missed that.

Intentionally misspelling or mispronouncing a name is how the really stupid righties give a call out to their bros.

You don’t want to go there.

It’s how really stupid people on both sides call out their bros, in my experience.

If you’re going to pull the douche move of making a shitty thread title that only refers to the subjects being pitted by first name, requiring more effort on the reader to find out wtf the thread is about, you really should at least use the correct first name.

I thought Baldwin handled it well:

I’m outraged to RedFury’s brim. I hope this is sufficient enough to make the OP like liberals again.

But Alex Baldwin is a pretty cool guy, eh fights flight attendants and doesn’t afraid of anything.

Alec Baldwin’s still around? I thought he left the country in a huff after Bush got re-elected.

Nope, that was Alex Baldwin.

He got better. [/python]

Any chance you’ll leave the country if Obama is re-elected?
