When will the media stop talking about the politically irrelevant Sarah Palin at CPAC? I'm devoting the hour to that topic tonight!Now if you are constant visitor to this blog, or a fan of HBO, you already know what is wrong with this tweet.
— Will McAvoy (@WillMcAvoy_ACN) March 16, 2013
Sadly there are some who are apparently neither, such as Jason B. Whitman the Young Republicans National Policy Chairman, who became incensed and tweeted this in response.
However the problem, of course, is that this is a parody twitter account using Will McAvoy's name.
But what is even a BIGGER problem is that Will McAvoy himself ONLY exists in the world of HBO where he is a character in the series Newsroom, played by the incredibly talented Jeff Daniels.
So essentially this Jason B. Whitman guy was arguing with a guy, pretending to be a fake journalist, on a fake news channel, in an HBO series, on cable television.
I understand that after he was notified that he was making a fool of himself, he deleted the tweet.
Too late.
P.S. Yes I recognize that I am sort of living in a glass house on this topic since I posted that fake Will Ferrell tweet yesterday. But at least Will Farrell is a real person, living in the real world, and when I was made aware I manned up and admitted my mistake. I did not simply delete the evidence.
By the way if there are any of you still out there who do NOT yet know about Will McAvoy, and one of my all time favorite HBO series, let me enlighten you.
Yet another Republicant asshat who scrapes the bottom of garbage heaps looking for morsels to defend Palin.
ReplyDeleteAt this point, anyone who still bothers to defend Palin is a brain-dead ignorant moron. By definition.
And Whitman
And Palin still ain't gonna fuck this goofball, although it appears that he's thick enough to want to actually bang that ho. Poor kid.
DeleteShe'll give him something that Comet and a scouring pad won't scrub off his widdle winky. Then he'll be needing to see a real doctor, not a pretend one like himself.
Jason Whitman is a "Dr."?! What school gave him that degree. Must be one of the five schools Sarah went to. Or the one that eventually gave her that "Communication" degree.
ReplyDeleteHe's a Doctor of Optometry. Technically, he can be referred to as a doctor. But referring to himself that way on Twitter smacks of insecurity and asshattery.
Deletesigned,
a PhD who rarely used Dr., just PhD after her name when signing school/scholarship-related stuff and only uses "Professor" in the classroom setting (and only as a formality since I invite most students to call me by my first name).
If Her Heinous ever did get a degree, like she "gave birth to Trig," a University Of Idaho degree is nothing to brag about.
DeleteDamn, I don't have a tv, and I've never watched the show, but that was powerful!
ReplyDeleteHere's the guy who punked him:

Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteWhat was that $carah said? "Influence pop culture?" Hell,she and her asshats can't even recognize it when it jumps up and bites them in their twitterarse.
ReplyDeleteSarah can't influence a pop tart, most less pop culture.
DeleteAnyway, how does one respond to a Tweet four hours before it is posted?
ReplyDeleteHe's an optometrist, not an opthamologist mind you, but an optometrist. Basically he fits glasses.
ReplyDeleteHe sees the glass as half full?
DeleteLast eve, Tina Fey Reprises Sarah Palin Impression

Roger Ailes On The Departures Of Sarah Palin, Dick Morris
ReplyDelete“I like Sarah Palin,” Ailes says. “I think she got pounded harder by the media. The only people who got it worse were Richard Nixon and George W. Bush, and that was over a longer period of time. Sarah would say she probably was responsible for some of the bad press she got and made some mistakes along the way.”
So why did he cut her loose?
“Nothing’s forever. We purposely took a general cooling-off after the election. Everyone was exhausted from it.”
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/03/20/roger-ailes-couldn-t-care-less-what-you-think-about-his-obama-comments.html
Nope, Roger, the last thing that Sarah would do is admit she made mistakes, and accept responsibility for runnIng a once-promising brand into the ground. Pfffft... Not much helium left in that balloon.
DeleteOT
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen the comments yet, forgive me if this is a repeat-
This is rich!
Tina Fey does Sarah on "Inside the Actor's Studio"
The audience reaction (And hers) is spot on!!!

I've never seen the show and even I know who is in the picture and what show is being referenced.
ReplyDeletePoor Baldy's Insane Clown Posse...Baldy is being insulted every which- away and by so many that they can't keep up!
ReplyDeleteThey're trying to defend her against Turdblossom calling her a QUITTER...then Roger gave a MEH response to her getting fired from FAKE News on the DailyBeast...and now this latest Tina Fey impersonation simply cannot go unchallenged!
Those nuts are going to wear themselves out and just collapse across their keyboards with swollen fingers and blurry eyes! LOL!!
Meanwhile CreepyJr is attempting to pimp his craptastic book of shit on that bullshit Liberty pose site...do y'all want a laugh...go HERE...

Hahaha...they're giving "AWAY" the book in a stupid contest....gotta get rid of it somehow, I guess.

Young Republicans are the worst.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, my brother was recruited into the Republican Party while in college...thankfully he came to his senses and switched over to the Democratic Party. He said they're slick and slimy.
DeleteSo, is The Newsroom coming back? I just love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is, "The Newsroom" Season 2 is expected to premiere in June

The only reason I've kept HBO on my subscription is for The Newsroom for the most part. Can't wait for the new season!
ReplyDeleteI know how u feel. When HBO cancelled Deadwood, I was fit to be tied. In fact, I'm still mad as hell about that, now that I think about it.
DeleteSee Sarah, I can hold a grudge, too, just not nearly as long.
Gryphen says, "By the way if there are any of you still out there who do NOT yet know about Will McAvoy, and one of my all time favorite HBO series, let me enlighten you...."
ReplyDeleteSorry to go O/T but it is SO WRONG that they are canceling Enlightened !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(okay, rant over, thanks.)
the story line was done. I won't miss it.
DeleteNext, the fool will be arguing through the teeVee with Granny on Beverly Hillbillies. What kind of fake doctor is this Slim Whitman character? Surely he's just jerking Sarah Palin's chain, huh?
ReplyDeleteHe's a doctor just like Sarah has her Bachelor's degree. Only in their thick-skull pea-brained imaginations unless they each got their shingle as a gift w/purchase free when they subscribed to WorldNet Daily.
Hey Slim, take it up with Elmer Fudd, too. He oughta exercised his 2nd Amendment Wights alweddy and shot that wascally wabbit. Must be a wibwul.
Meh.... if Elmer shoots anything like $carah at a caribou, Bugs is safe.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it particularly mattered if the tweet you posted was the "real" Will Farrell or not. The point of it was that it was funny and still is. It's not the same thing as trying to have a flame war with a fictional character.
