Not a peace treaty. Nothing of the sort.<br /><br />Flamed, no, but I do sincerely maintain that as few mentions as possible of that vanity press hit-whoring abomination and its troll minions will benefit you as much as the rest of us. It's advice, not criticism :)<br /><br />I am more concerned with McIntyre - I think his current stance is beyond hypocritical. If McIntyre was the AG of VA and wanted to be reelected, he'd go for the same voters and campaigners, the same way, same tactics, etc. But since he's not profiting from Cucinelli, why not score cheap, fake points?<br /><br />Cucinelli really does need to undergo a recall trial. It's that simple.

There is no level to which you will not sink.<br /><br />First, you ensure that I will forever have to associate the true hero of the Lord of the Rings with Michael Mann, all without ever making even the slightest attempt to demonstrate that he has furry feet.<br /><br />But much worse, you attempt to appropriate Monty Python iconography for partisan political purposes--and waste the attempt by failing to include the best line (Well, I got better...) <br /><br />The naked face of evil.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747117922597525042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-24905286996547943182010-05-06T08:26:17.529-07:002010-05-06T08:26:17.529-07:00I think you're right, MT, and I'll just ad...I think you're right, MT, and I'll just add one thing: if those pandering to the same crowd as Cuccinelli oppose him, that's going to have way more effect than if the people he's attacking put effort into this. For all we know, Cuccinelli is attacking to provoke a response from his enemies and get attention. <br /> <br />You also say this: "I could easily round up a bunch of liberals, half of them Canadian" -- why do you think you appeal so much to Canadians? Because you spent a bit of time at Carleton? Anyway, I think your blogging is fantastic and I hope you take care of yourself.

It has already provoked considerable outrage from scientists. But suppose he actually does get hold of all of Mann's email, then what? As there is absolutely no conspiracy involved and the amount of money is trivial, it'll be what, a bunch of cherry-picked quotes that the usual deniers can trumpet, and yet more evidence for the rest of the world that these guys are crazed conspiracy-theorists with nothing behind their claims. Whitewater all over again, but Mann's not a powerful man like Pres. Clinton - if the most this witch-hunt turns up is an extra-marital affair or something it will humanize Mann and demonize his opponents.<br /><br />Cuccinelli's move is lose-lose for him, the deniers, and the state of Virginia, win-win for the rest of the world.Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249922708053689717noreply@blogger.com
