NYT Covers Chuckie Cheezed

"Mad King Charles is one of his most frequent, and most printable, Web nicknames".

I call him The Douche of URL, but William Teach has other suggestions.

Others covering the story. And as Stacy points out, Vanity Fair has apparently picked up internet Dexter-in-his-own-mind, Barrett Brown, whom I congratulate on the gig. Just for the record, Barrett: I warned you about Charles. But, hey, keep fucking that hockey stick.

In the long run, I think, you'll regret hitching your fortunes to a falling phaeton.

UPDATE: Patterico has much more.

Excellent article on Charles Johnson.

It’s why one reads the NYT.

“Falling phaeton?” Bwahahaha. Yet what have you become, Dan, a cabana boy at the Hotel Peonage?

A cute turn of a word is no substitute for a spine. I predict you’ll become a hunted child of your conscious in good time, Dan. In the meantime enjoy the electrifying leg tingles at those Larry Craig conventions.

Charles Johnson, if you’re out there, nice shot!

  Reread the article. It could be subtitled Douche of URL.

    Maybe take off your think-as-you’re-told goggles and read the article again.
    
    Note the studious detail of the subject’s historical background, the time line and illumination of opinions and arguments of differing parties. That’s called real journalism.
    
    Hitching, linking, primping, winky-winking and pimping isn’t how to do it.

      But you’re a fair-minded vulgar man not afraid to spar, are you not? At one time you were the open-minded free-wheeler of the saber and pen
      
      Besides, if I posted over at LGF I’d be just one of many instead of the lone literate person who drives your fuckin’ traffic, ahhaha. Every rose has its thorn…

      Thorn, my tolerance of vulgarity ends where you begin referring to posters here as “cunt” and “bitch.”

      Let’s not be hypocritical, Dan, your usage of “cunt” and “bitch” is far and wide.

POWIP is a humble little place. With a humble host. I like it here. Johnson probably succumbed to being Star F**ked and believing the hype. Musucians LOVE attention. And OLD musicians occasionally still long for “Rock Star” status. “meeting movie stars, partying and mingling” – Johnson is now suffering from the Free Fall Tom Petty talks about – where the record company sez “I don’t hear a single.” And that is when we know “The future is wide open.” Rock n Roll is for the young – and there is nothing worse than a 50 year olde rock star.

I didn’t think it possible that I’d run into anyone with a bigger ego than zero. Thorgina has surpassed all in that respect. She lives in the same rarified fantasyland as her messiah. I can imagine them both pledging that tranny sorority together, wearing the same skirts with che imprinted tops and color coordinated barettes.

Douche of URL? If I had a sense of humor I would laff. But instead I ban you from the internets. I think it was you Collins who handed me that half eatten tub of pudding when you left the Scott Brown celebration. I finished it not realizing you had…dipped in it. I do not forget.

  Forgetting serves your projection and hypocrisy well. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but you may be an exception.

  I like Barrett, too, but he’s got to watch out for the guilt-by-association trap and remember that if he tries to make people answerable to that standard, it’s going to bite him on the ass.

  This IS the same Barrett Brown who trolled all over Protein Wisdom, and then cherry-picked the responses to his trollsomeness for some book he supposedly is writing?

    Now, let’s not read too much into that. I don’t want to do guilt by association at all.

Guilt by association almost always starts a conversation that wouldn’t have been had otherwise. I think it’s value neutral as a tactic… sometimes there’s an exoneratey conversation what follows and sometimes not is all.
