Okay, first the bad news.

In what [livejournal.com profile] defamer has affectionately called Clooneygate, it appears that everybody's favorite non-candidate for President did not actually write Monday's Huff-blog post. Apparently those bad people at Huffington blog found it incumbent to piece together the blog from George's other interviews. Obviously, there's some question as to who is to blame for this snafu. The Huffington Post blames Stan Rosenfield, George's publicist. Stan blames Huff-post.

Ari doesn't really care, but since George is vexed, he's put out hits on everyone regardless.

The good news is that George has donated his entire Oscar swag bag to the United Way so they can auction it off for charity. So, everybody call the United Way. A Tahitian pearl necklace? Is that *supposed* to sound like one of [livejournal.com profile] estrella30's sex kinks?

In other news, if anyone has mp3s of Sing Sing's 'Sing-Sing and I' or anything by the Pocket Dwellers besides 'Shine' I would be most grateful.

Yeah, so what happened to that story you were working on anyway? Oh, you thought I *forgot*?

[identity profile] serialkarma.livejournal.com 2006-03-16 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahahaha. No, I just got it back from beta, but my mind is no condition to work on it today. I can barely concentrate on the mindless stuff I have for actual work.

Also, :PP

What's the :ppp. I was totally being encouraging and supportive. And why does no one ask me to beta anymore? I see I am all chopped liver. Shit, is J's story due back to her today?

[identity profile] serialkarma.livejournal.com 2006-03-16 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's SGA, and I know you read all the fic and stuff, but for the beta I needed someone really familiar with the source.

Oh yeah, get me on a technicality. :pppp

Who doesn't love monkeys? I mean really.

Guh. That is all.

I'd never really listened to it, because I prefer 2+2, Go to Sleep and Punch-Up, but I know you like it and it came on my iPod and i was like, I know this is Thom, but what is he saying? He's saying... I will eat you alive!? OMGWTF?!

Are you kidding? Monkeys will fuck your shit up. Never get on the wrong side of that primate group.

George Clooney does not make statements. He answers questions. That has Chuck Norris written all over it.

Okay, you have to explain the Chuck Norris thing, because I've heard vague rumblings, but tell me more.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-03-16 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.

[identity profile] vylit.livejournal.com 2006-03-16 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW! It's hot enough in your FUCKING MIRACLE WORKER icon, but it's like - it's just insanely sexy in the larger pic. I kind of want to bite his neck.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-03-16 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to lick and touch and do body shots in that little hollow. *wibble*

The whole deal with Chuck Norris is that there's this website that generates these "facts" about Chuck Norris that aren't so much facts as they are a testament to how badass Chuck Norris is.

The quote reminded me of it because so many of them start with "Chuck Norris does not...", such as "Chuck Norris does not leave messages. He leaves warnings." My personal favorites, however, are "Chuck Norris counted to Infinity. Twice." and "Chuck Norris can talk about Fight Club."

I blogged about this last night. What astounds me is that people would think he wouldn't be pissed. Let's not forget that two journalists *rights* (if Larry King has rights) were infringed. The Guardian (or the journalist who interviewed George for the Guardian) own one interview - which was plagiarised and not even quoted with references - and the other body of text comes from what must be a transcript of George's appearance on Larry King. I don't believe Larry writes for print media - but he might.

So, a large part of it is that she took *other people's* work and mis-represented it. With his perspective on all things journalistic and political he must have been friging furious. Go check defamer again - the row keeps on going and the icon they've used is cute.

I am gutted. Well, no, not really, but that was a teensy weensy but dishonest, Ariana (oh dear, expecting moral standards from the Huffington? More fool me).

I know, the end result is the same, George stands by his opinions, but dude, as an upstanding member of the hack community, my journalistic ethics are all shocked.

He's still all about the pretty handsome, though.

My favorite is, "Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer. Of course, Chuck Norris never cries."

I read somewhere (on Defamer? Probably.) that Chuck Norris's publicist responded to the generator, saying that its popularity springs from Chuck Norris's steady and constant on-screen persona as an all-American manly man of the law (or something like that).

Piven LOVE.

*tattoos hearts on his ass*

I was going to say the Huffingtons aren't really known for their upstanding morals.

Chuck Norris was quoted in one of my magazines as apparently being baffled, but he said 'Boys will be boys.' Which is sad, cause he's totally ruined the illusion now.
(Of course, me criticising him will be viewed as police code 214 - suicide.)

And if you check defamer again today you'll see that Ari Emmanuel is taking over the world. And as your Ari is based on that Ari, well George's AU agent is about to be more powerful than Ovitz was back in the day.

I await fic.
