Seems as though our favorite suspicious mind running for public office now sees us lurking behind each and every talking tree in Oz. And the simple answer for you, Paul, is: WE ARE BEHIND EACH AND EVERY TALKING TREE IN OZ. SO BEWARE, WE (THE ROCKEFELLERS), ARE COMIN' TO GET YOU (AND EVAN, TOO)!
At any rate, there's a new blogger in town who's pissed off at Newell for not answering his email. This new guy, Carl Blinker, is so mad at Newellawitz that he started his own blog to get his Newell emails made public. There's a whole string of interesting back and forths between Newell and new blogger that start up here. But it was this response from Newell that appears to have really set him off:
Carl,
I did not receive your previous email, nor did anyone on my staff.
1. I do not fund TAP.
2. If you have questions about TAP and its writers, I encourage you to address them directly. Unlike the anonymous, closed door approach of NGD, you can do so directly on their site.
3. To suggest that criticizing McCain is criticizing all veterans is the height of absurdity. Are all criticisms of Obama racist? NextGenDems often criticizes me, does that make them anti-Semitic? John McCain’s platform would be a disaster for this country. His admirable service in Vietnam does not change that.
4. I cannot “add questions” to NextGenDems as you suggest. It is not permitted on the site. NGD is a platform for one writer to express his or her opinions. That is fine. But please do not consider it a news source or even a political blog.
Now I have questions for you.
1. Are you the writer of NGD?
2. If so, why have you not answered my emails or my campaign manager’s emails?
3. Are you employed by the State of New York?
(Evidentially, the new blogger doesn't even ask question number 4.)
Yes, folks, it's true, Paulack Newellbama harbors a profound and unhealthy preoccupation with NGD. (And who knows, maybe state workers, too.)
In today's other news from the freak show fronting as a primary challenge to Sheldon Silver, Luke Henry, in an attempt to dispel the Newell charge that he's a Silver plant, dresses up like Luke Skywalker pining to go into battle with Darth Vader (Silver), whom as Liz Benjamin correctly points out, was Luke Skywalker's skypappy. Good work, Luke. Maybe you should hire some of those oppo researchers that are stalking Obamatwitz.
So basically you've got one guy running around Lower Manhattan pitching himself as Luke Skywalker and another as a composite called "Obamawitz," both engaged in a pitched battle for name recognition so that they can reform dysfunctional New York.
