Standard Mischief – Here you go.

The four dots are there to give the impression that I said a lot more than I actually did…thereby making him look like a big shot reporter who spent hours talking to us about in-depth issues, and sorting out the TRULY HORRIBLE THINGS I surely said about McCain.

Paul,

I wouldn’t know about incompetence as all the links work for me. Is your mouse broken or are you doing it wrong? And I didn’t call anyone incompetent.

But thanks for playing.

Oh, I don’t know. Your hyperlinks don’t go to the comment in question either.

Maybe that’s why they didn’t put in a link, you think?

Life’s a beach when you’re calling someone else incompetent isn’t it?

Hyperlinking would also make it too easy for a reader to see if the reporter was presenting the quotes reasonably…

They can’t have that, either.

Hyperlinking would send you traffic, and thus give your site the ad money instead of theirs. "Can't cut our own throat, son!" says the editor to the journalist. "We're a dying medium!"

I�ve been misquoted by the media! I�ve arrived!

So fill us in what she cut out and replaced with four dots. Gimme context. It’s the mainstream media, of course they lie.

I’m going to watch my Sitemeter for the next couple of days and see what happens.
