E-squared gets his victim on...again!

He is jutting his weak chin and stamping his wittle foot and yellow feathers fill the air as America's most ridiculous chickenhawk is putting on a fine display of histrionics over Greg Sargent being hired by the Washington Post, and playing the victim/martyr card to boot.  

Well, we really don't need any reminder as to the liberal bias of the mainstream media, but I'll remind you anyway.

Greg Sargent was with the left-wing Talking Points Memo. Now he is with the Washington Post.

I'm sure Greg Sargent is good at what he does, but I'm also sure the Washington Post would not even consider hiring someone directly from the right-of-center blogosphere.
Of course the Washington Post is connected to both Newsweek and Slate, so its biases are pretty well established and no doubt considers TPM to be right in line with the mainstream.

How quickly he has forgotten one of his own!  Ben Domenech, who was one of the founders of  Red State, was hired by the Post to write fpr Red America, a conservative blog on Weashingtonpost.com.  He lasted three days and put up six posts before resigning in disgrace when confronted with allegations that he was a plagiarist.   He confessed and slunk away for a while, but returned to the WingNet after the mouth-breathers had sufficient time to be distracted by something shiny and forget that he was a hack who never had an original thought in his life and was only on anyones radar to begin with is because he was a NoVA brat whose daddy is Douglas Domenech, a Bush political appointee.  

Of course commenters on EE's post reminded him of Ben's short-lived tenure at the Red America blog, he was ready with a dismissal.  

Funny how all these guys are bringing up Ben

He was tossed quickly after lefty outrage - and let's be honest, it had more to do with the lefty outrage than later revelations. They weren't going to stand by him the minute the phones started wringing.[sic]

The replacement conservative, which took forever to get, was Ramesh Ponnuru, and they wouldn't give him a blog - he's got to moderate a forum.

Now they are giving this guy a lead blog for their online site.

Yeah.  It was lefty outrage and hand 'ringing' that got his untalented ass canned.  Plagiarism had nothing to do with it...

And while we are mocking this moron - again - let's rewind the clock to this time last year, when E-squared was begging for money for site upgrades and blaming the left because his site sucks.  

RedState has a real need for your help
Imagine the power of a fully armed and operational RedState

By Erick

When we started RedState in May of 2004, we used a website program called Scoop - the same program a lot of similar sites on the left used. But, as the number of visitors to our site grew, Scoop kept crashing on us.

If we'd been a liberal website, we would have been able to fix the problem quickly and relatively cheaply. The online left loves Scoop. Unfortunately, there weren't really any conservative Scoop developers out there to help us. We kept crashing and were out of money. We had to close down or take drastic action.

Well, we didn't close down. We ditched Scoop and moved to the best alternative at the time, a program called Drupal. But, in accomplishing the switch, budget constraints forced us to sacrifice some popular site features in order to alleviate the strain on our overused servers.

I'll be blunt: I hate asking you for money. [$25,000, apparently] But I hate even more to imagine what America will be like if someone like Hillary Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama wins the presidency in November. RedState can help prevent that nightmare from coming true - but only if we're offering the best possible web experience to the widest possible audience.

It's gonna be fun watching his head explode over and over again for the next eight years, and I am not going to feel the least bit bad about mocking his angst and misery.
