He didn't? Oh. Then he's a hypocritical asshole. (But we're well familiar with that particular truth.)"<br /><br />So, to answer your question, yes.

There were only two articles I could find that made a direct claim of millions of attendees; one by Matthew Sheffield, whose "source" was a link to Michelle Malkin's website, and one by Tom Blumer, who was equivocating about the exact figure with "if" and "would be".)Frank Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717740988326817494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-16626032342458071752009-09-28T10:57:53.646-07:002009-09-28T10:57:53.646-07:00This cartoon gives a little more credence to the t...This cartoon gives a little more credence to the theory that MF is actually a <i>parody</i> of right-wing thought.<br /><br />Here we have a complaint that people believe the news media is mostly biased -- and as proof, we're given the fact that none of the mainstream media assisted Fox in spreading the inexplicable "2 million demonstrators" lie.<br /><br />With "Newsbusters.org" as the unbiased source.<br /><br />Brilliant!<br /><br />Oh, and Mallard is home right now because his company placed him on unpaid leave while they investigate Chantel's death by heroin overdose.NickEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802529426519495214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-11687871442948312152009-09-28T10:57:01.911-07:002009-09-28T10:57:01.911-07:00Using teabagger math here: Thanks to me we now hav...Using teabagger math here: Thanks to me we now have 8,000comments,Congratulations everyone here should give themselves a round of applause.Beef Wellingtonnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-88847934655107227542009-09-28T10:16:59.112-07:002009-09-28T10:16:59.112-07:00Also, what's Ducky doing sitting at home, watc...Also, what's Ducky doing sitting at home, watching Noseworthy cover the "news" in his stead?
