McCain Sell Out? Who Knew There Was A Market?

by Smitty

Dan Riehl accuses Stacy of selling out on the Weigel situation:

Of course, if Stacy defends one faux-conservative, another would praise him. And why not? He’s probably angling for Weigel’s slot. That’s how the game is played down here.

Look, Dan, I can’t pretend to know the exact quid required to tempt Stacy into a WaPo gig. The apprehension of him overtaking the entire organization would be palpable.

In any case your post title demands a Reel Big Fish embed:

UPDATE (RSM): Wait a minute, Smitty. Dan’s linked some genuine news: Did Liz Mair burn Josh Trevino with an off-the-record conservative listserv message?

OK, so this is even more inside-baseball than WeigelGate, but at least it’s a change of pace from all-Weigel, all-the-time. And I’m friends with both Liz and Josh, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut, pop some popcorn and watch them claw each other’s eyes out.

  1. Love me. Hate me. Just so long as you link me.

    Hits is hits.

    I’m not going to get into an argument with Dan Riehl. It’s obvious we disagree, and so what? It’s not the first time and I’m sure it won’t be the last. But if he ever needs his own Chris Crocker, I’m there for him.

    LEAVE DAN RIEHL ALONE!

  3. Tease your hair Stacy and get Pamela Geller to film it.

  5. The thing is our gracious host knows Weigel personally, that is, as a person, and not just as another sneering liberal commisar. So he’s willing to cut him some slack, and truthfully that makes him a better person.

    Conservatives didn’t cause Weigel to lose his job- who cared if he was biased? They’re all biased, and we all know it. Weigel lost his job because the MSM insists on hanging on to it’s long-dead identity as a neutral arbitor of political disputes. The Post doesn’t feel it can admit to having a position, a philosophy, or an agenda, call it what you will like a British paper, so they had to get rid of him.

    $14/hr,company gas card,his own coffee maker,dental and a reporter’s fedora with a Cat logo out of respect for his Southern heritage.

    What? I said he was cheap;I never said he was easy.

  9. I thought the headline was about Mac Daddy McCain having a Hayworthesque grant toutorial on his Senate website, but Dan Riehl is taking about Stacy!

    Dan, Stacy is just standing up for a friend. Even if that friend is a jerk. Even though if the tables were turned, Weigel would not return the favor. Because Stacy is a stand up guy and we all agree Weigel is not.
