Ron Paul: Rupert Murdoch Finds Him "Fascinating"
So says his twitter feed, in what I am reasonably confident is a reference to my out-very-soon book Ron Paul's Revolution: The Man and the Movement He Inspired.
Murdoch tweets: Just reading new book on Ron Paul. Fascinating. Ron sure model of consistency, right or wrong. Any tweeters wish to debate?

Let me see if I've got this right, Doherty. You sent Rupert Murdoch an early edition of your book but won't make it available to reasonoids until the release date? You bastard!
-
Could someone explain to me why it still takes six months to release a fucking book these days? Doherty? Bueller?
-
Yeah, it's just the way it goes. The book was 98 percent written by early November, the final amendments were made in early January. Soon it shall be a physical object in the product streams of the world.
-
Does this mean that Lew Rockwell will now disown him?
-
murdoch is unfit to determine fascinating
-
Yeah, someone who builds a multibillion dollar global media empire could not possibly understand what people find fascinating.
-

Doherty, you beautiful son of a bitch!
-
Well, now Paul will be buried under an avalanche of Murdoch hate. I can only assume Skelator, or possibly Dr. Octopus, is behind this.

Snidely Whiplash. Or maybe Oil Can Harry. The mustaches tell you everything you need to know.

Too soon!

...Bowel Movement He Inspired?

The History Channel found Hitler fascinating.
(If I could have massaged that into a "you know who else" I would have.)
-
umm ....
You know who else the History Channel (owned my Rupert Murdoch*) finds fascinating?
*it doesn't matter if the parenthetical is true

You know who else was a model of consistency, right or wrong?
-
Aliens?
Monster hunters?
Ice Road Truckers?

Murdoch tweets: Just reading new book on Ron Paul. Fascinating
Gee, that's almost as good as Darth Vader saying he finds someone charming... Or Pol Pot. Just what Paul needs = endorsements from widely reviled evil corporate fat cats.
-
Finding someone fascinating isn't the same as supporting them. Fr'instance, I'm fascinated by psychopathy; doesn't mean I advocate chopping people up with no emotion.
Unless they're poor, of course.
-
Or if my dog told me to.
-
doesn't mean I advocate chopping people up with no emotion.
Doesn't mean you don't, either.
-
Well, I know who's next now.
-
Yeah, that won't hurt Ron Paul at all. Nosiree.
-
OTOH, Murdoch can still tell all of his various news organs to write nice things about Doherty's book.
-
More importantly, what does Murdoch think of Paul's phone etiquette? I'm pretty sure he is familiar with it. Or was that just his spawn?
-
News Corp published the book via Harper Collins' new imprint.

OT:
4TH PRECINCT STAFF - OUTSTANDING WORK!
Date: Tue, May 1, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Subject: Outstanding Work!4th Precinct Staff,
Wow! I want to thank you all for another tremendous week. You have again led the City in proactive stops with 650 stops for traffic, suspicious persons, and suspicious vehicles. Over the last 8 weeks you have consistently led the City with 10% more proactive stops per officer than the next closest precinct. That is on top of handling more calls for service and more Priority One calls. You have also made 4848 arrest this year*, which is 34% more than the next closest precinct (to spite having the same number of officers).

*And it's barely even May.

"To spite"? Not "despite"?
Telling!
