Wulgar says “Grrrr!”
March 21st, 2008 by Wiley CodyWelcome to Big Sky Cairn Wufgar, and thank you for the introductory venom:
See that middle finger waving there? That’s for you, Wiley.
I didn’t leave myself “an exit strategy”. I was dead serious. That’s called integrity. Look into the concept, you insulting pissant.
You know, I bet Wulfgar is a decent guy in person - but you’d never know it from how he acts on the internet. Anytime I feel like I’m upset, all I have to do is go read the subject lines on my RSS Reader for A Chicken Is Not Pillage and perspective snaps me right back into a good mood - you know by comparison.
Update: I didn’t notice that Wulfgar was so proud of his juvenile name-calling that he posted it on his own site too. In the same breath that Wulfgar calls me stupid, he presumes that the only way that his vote could be “purchased” is with a cash transaction complete with a neat little receipt. The odds of that happening are precisely zero; a strategy of direct vote-buying would require that Baucus have to interact with a bunch of Montanans for that strategy to work. There’s a reason he moved to DC to get away from the dirty masses of Montana.
What will happen is that Baucus will use his massive stash of out-of-state resources to buy tons of air time on radio, television, the internet and anywhere else he can find it. That airtime will, in effect, buy back the votes of the far-left that Baucus has alienated in order to remain electable in a moderate-to-conservative state like Montana. At the end of the day, when Wulfgar titles a post “Why I Won’t Be Voting For Baucus In November” I’m willing to put money on the fact that with Baucus’ money he will not have too hard a time changing Wulfgar’s mind.
Fortunately, this isn’t a purely ethereal debate. While what Wulfgar does in the voting booth will always be private, but we’ll be able to track his support or lack of support for Baucus on his blog. Someone will be right and someone will be wrong. Smart money says he’ll be listing reasons to vote for Baucus by October.
