WaPo Flamed Blog Hails Indecision 2008's Context-Putter-Inner Team

Yesterday, we ran a piece on our blog about an article from the Washington Post's blog calling out the Army's blog, for using its public relations blog to link to a soldier's private blog that said something sorta kinda not nice about Obama. Needless to say, mining the comedy out of that one was easy as pie!

Anyway, it turns out the soldier's blog thought we got the whole thing a lot righter than the Washington Post. And because we're self-righteous attention whores, we're going to reprint the whole thing, right here:

We were linked to today by Comedy Central’s Indecision 2008, and they blew the lid off the cover with the following statement in their article titled: The Army Kinda Sorta Maybe Tangentially Quietly Accidentally Anti-Endorses Obama By Association

“This would all be a non-story, of course, if Mr.Hooah!, weren’t the well-known Counterstrike handle of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

But as it is, I smell conspiracy.”

I am glad this came to light. People are very confused when they come here from the WaPo article and they keep blaming ME for the article. There are TWO bloggers here. Claire (me) and Mr. Hooah! my husband (a.k.a. International Man of Mystery, Bill Gates, Robert Gates, Robert Redford and his alter ego the Anteater) He wrote the article that, although it was dripping with sarcasm and bitterness, was taken as some gospel word from the military. I am glad that Comedy Central gets it.

There you have it, folks. The Army's official endorsement of Indecision 2008. Get the blogs rollin'!

In the meantime, we're gonna try and leverage this and get us some tanks to play with!
