Just a few minutes ago on KUOW’s The Conversation, Seattle Times editorial board member Joni Balter kvelled over her paper’s editorial independence and quirkiness, boasting:
“You’d have to open our paper to figure out who we are going to endorse.”
Uh-huh. And yet, back on September 21, I accurately predicted the Times’ endorsement in every single contested federal and statewide race:
As expected, the Seattle Times editorial board has endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States, paving the way for endorsements of Republicans Dino Rossi, Rob McKenna, Sam Reed, Allan Martin, Dave Reichert and Cathy McMorris Rodgers, all the while leaving their vaunted bipartisan principles intact. At least, in their own minds.
In fact, with the possible exception of the race for Commissioner of Public Lands, I can’t imagine a single additional closely contested statewide or federal race in WA state in which the Times endorses a Democrat.
So if your ed board is so unpredictable, Joni, how do you explain my prediction?
YLB, as usual, is SFB … that’s (Rabbit)shit For Brains. He’s confused the Actual Factual HNMT with a semi-literate imposter/impostor. Please grovel, snivel, retract, and apologize.
And David “phonetap” Goldstein is certifiable? As if we didn’t know that already?
Gee Goldy, you are right. you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.you are right.
Do you feel better now?
I know you have this deesp-seated yearning to be RIGHT.
Are you a psycho who actually thinks the Times will endorse KLOWNS like Gregoire & Burner just to prove you wrong???
Weird Goldy.
LOL! I don’t take orders from right wing trolls who grovel at the feet of Limpblows, Moon, Scaife, Murdoch and the rest…
My answer to you is F OFF!!
FOFF? Will leave that to a toff like you.
Seldom do Rush, Rupert, or Richard Mellon. Take most of my arguments against the left from the left. That’s why I’ve spun you in circles, these many months, and perhaps explains why you have such a hardon for me. (Would take that as a compliment, coming from elsewhere, but from you it creeps me out.)
So will amend my instructions: Please snivel, grovel, slobber, retract, and apologize.
Wow – I don’t even know this HNMT but she sure thinks highly of herself. She must really be brilliant! Especially since she claims to have such really potent arguments that no one has seen. And her modesty – to die for! Such brilliance should not be limited to a blog – and a liberal one at that.
When is her majesty HNMT (does that stand for Her Neocon Majesties Troll?) going to start her own blog?
do you have the link?
This is the post I was remembering in my previous comment.
Take most of my arguments against the left from the left.
Yeah, MOST… right. like we’re to believe anything from the likes of you.
You’re an authoritarian. You were that way when you considered yourself on the left and you’re that way now.
I don’t take orders from small-minded armchair dictators like you. I’m for freedom.
So my last words to you: F OFF, rinse, repeat…
HNMT: he’s yelling loser boy.
I wonder how many SEIU union dues were stolen to produce those stupid anti-Rossi ads?
9 – LOL.. Awwww. What’s the matter Stupes? Right wing bullshit losing?
C’mon leave us a link to newswhacks, wingnut daily or one of Brent ‘hozell’s websites… Bring it with the Drudge/Sludge…
LMAO!!!
“So if your ed board is so unpredictable, Joni, how do you explain my prediction?”
You got lucky?
:)
“Take most of my arguments against the left from the left.”
What arguments would that be?
@9: Don’t you get it yet? It’s all part of the great conspiracy….pammie atlas has proved that Barry is the son of Malcolm X!!!!!
(h/t Sadly No!)
Your political kin are indeed wonders to behold.
YLB: Just admit that you got it wrong, as usual, so we can MoveOn. And that’s an order.
Thought I smelled YLB yesterday afternoon in Red Square, but alas …
Anybody here remember Norman Morrison? Thich Tri Quang? Other great immolators of the past?
Well, YLB could be one really grrrrrreat immolator. I know he could.
15 – LMAO!!! Your self-immolation moment is coming on Tuesday HNMT..
Nice knowing you – NOT!!!
The Times is extremely predictable with few exceptions.
Joni Balter: idealistic child of the ’60’s, turned cynical, bitter Blethen tool. She’s against anything and everything, unless it directly benefits the Blethen Family Newsletter. Local media in this town is just so dang visionary.
Goldy, I guess you’re just a smarty-pants.
