No Fucking Shit.

Valerie Plame was indeed a covert agent at the time her name was leaked.

You were wrong again, Don. As always, I won't be holding my breath for a correction.

Not that this is big news, or news at all to anyone who is connected to reality. It's a dead horse, and it actually pains me to write about it again.

However, this is a really good example of how conservative windbags like Don will consistently ignore established FACTS about all kinds of things if it doesn't support their little pea-brained view of the world -- and then go peddle their lies and misinformation on the opinion pages of newspapers.

I know he was just a "crazy lib," but I think Daniel Patrick Moynihan might have been onto something when he said, "everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts."

Why I Find it Difficult to Read Don Surber's Blog on a Regular Basis

He reads a news report about a man who pleaded not guilty at his arraignment immediately after confessing under oath that he abducted a seven-year-old girl from her bed, then took her outside the apartment building where he also lived and proceeded to rape her, and The Surb's outraged that the reporter didn't mention the man's immigration status until the sixth paragraph of the article.

Priorities, Don.

Don, Why Do You Hate Venezuela?

Today, Don Surber opens his Saturday column by announcing that he "followed the French presidential election with all the passion [he] give[s] watching Japanese baseball, which is to say none." And yet he can look into the minds of the voters in France and determine why Segolene Royal lost the election.

The reason French voters declined the chance to elect Royal was not because she is a woman, but because she is a socialist.

And an anti-American socialist to boot.

I'm sure you can guess what Don's evidence is for Royal's anti-Americanism. Yes, it's because she criticized President Bush. As we all know, in the wingnut world, criticizing Bush = hating America.

Of course, in the same column The Surb criticizes Hugo Chavez, which, by Don's own logic, means he's anti-Venezuelan. Some two-bit columnist for El Nacional should really write an editorial about it.

Shorter Don Surber:

This is the war that never ends,
Yes, it goes on and on, my friend
Some people started fighting it not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue fighting it forever just because --
This is the war that never ends . . .
