Dickie's first priorities

They say that a picture of a person is not necessarily a window to his soul. Dunno, this one is quite telling:


Anyhow, read the revealing article about Richard (Dickie) Silverstein here. For me there were two passages that summarize Dickie only too well:
Opening up the package, Silverstein said his reaction was, "Oh, my god. What am I going to do with all this?" Then another thought: "This would really take me into a different league as a blogger and reporter."
I guess that with the advantage of hindsight, Dickie slightly changed the sequence of these two thoughts.

Now the second passage:
Haaretz, Israel's leading liberal newspaper, described Silverstein's blog as an "international poster board for reports that Israel's courts and military censor withhold from publication," but said his reports "generally contain a kernel of truth, along with a good deal of speculation and some half-truths."
If I got such a character witness overview from Haaretz, my first thought would have been about location of the clothesline and soap.

But Dickie will, probably, frame and display it. A rare manner of man is our Dickie...

"JStreet, a liberal pro-Israel advocacy group in Washington, D.C., accused Silverstein of "disgusting racist and crazy attacks" via Twitter."

Haaretz and JStreet? The man is a disaster even for his own kind, then.

To use clothesline and soap, one must have a conscience. Not likely.

And I though that to use clothesline and soap one needs only a pair of hands ;)

This guy is a disgusting Kapo and a fraud and we need to let everyone know that.

While I dislike Holocaust analogies, even in a case like that of Dickie, yes, everyone must know about his ways.

Clothesline and soap? I must be missing something somewhere.

Oh, to know Dickie better you have to look at his blog. I wouldn't sully this pristine pages by a link to his place, just search for "Richard Silverstein"...

Can't say I've ever heard of him... before seing this post, that is!

SnoopyTheGoon said...

The schmuck considers it to be funny, I guess. Bleh...

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Nah, he is rather obscure for all his self-inflation.

There was an unintentionally humorous dimension also.
