Dan Rather Kidnaps Charles Johnson and Takes Over Little Green Footballs

Occam's Razor says this must be true.


When Little Green Footballs, a blog founded by Charles Johnson, started to go off the conservative rails over the past year, many dismissed Johnson’s erratic, obsessive rantings as classic signs of blogger burnout, or a perilously tight ponytail. Indeed, as Johnson lashed out at other conservative websites, and and even posted photos of blades of grass that were uncharacteristically out of focus, bloggers across the political spectrum cringed at the precipitous descent of a once-proud stronghold of conservatism.

Unable to fathom the loss of a blogger we once admired, we at TNOYF have developed a different theory. We believe that ex CBS newsman Dan Rather, seeking revenge for Johnson’s discovery in 2004 that memos offered as evidence by CBS that George Bush received special treatment during his National Guard service were forgeries, has incapacitated Johnson and taken over control of LGF.

Prove us wrong.

Update: As further evidence, we submit for your consideration a classic Charles Johnson cloud photo from last year, and one posted recently. Look closely and open your mind.

You've all been banned. Next on my agenda will be Killbore Guppy paying you a visit.

You've been warned.

CJ has a new job: Designing the cover art for European and American history books. And anybody that laughs is a raaaaacist!

Queegson,
How's that Samoan friend of yours. You know, the one with the tatoos on his face?

Pasto -- you mean Lola?

He's trying to get ahead. Actually, he's trying to get rid of a head...

Queequeg the "harpooner" is Ishmael's bunkmate in Moby Dick. They meet when they have to share a bed at the inn, the night before they set off with Captain Ahab.

I assume Charles was referencing his friend when he mispelled his name.

BWAHAHAHAHAH.... That shows how much you know, Pastorius! I'll have you know that Captain Queeg who presided over The Caine Mutiny was right! Hold it a minute while I get out my steel balls! There, that's better! I'll find the strawberries and then you'll all rue the day you doubted my paranoid delusions!

Killbore! Shamu! I told you to find the extra key to the Lizard Lounge! I must find the key that allows the flouncers in to flounce! They must be stopped!

BWAHAHAHAHHA ....!

Charles,
I know you're talking about your tattooed-faced bunk mate. Don't lie. It won't work on me.

Have fun going down on ... uh, I mean going down with Captain Ahab.
