Man. Was there ever such an international display of utter FAIL as this Julian Assange/Wikileaks shit?

To start, there’s nothing I care about that I didn’t already know in any of the cables published so far. Catty diplomatic chit-chat. Bo-ring. Unless, of course, you were one of the people whose lives were put in mortal danger by the leaks.

Yeah, that’s the first thing we should have done — offered US asylum to anyone endangered by our crappy inability to keep a secret.

I don’t know why the left is so stoked on this guy. His leaks confirm my every ‘winger belief. Israel is reasonable. The entire Middle East is afraid of a nuclear Iran. China is pushy. The UN is useless. Global Warming is a front for wealth redistribution.

Oh, and he has deeply embarrassed and hobbled the foreign policy of the most left-wing government America is likely to have. EVER.

An act of courageous journalism? Please. Document dump. Some journalism.

And now he’s been arrested on the stupidest charge in history — sex without condom. Whether we had anything to do with this silliness or not, whether we move to extradite him or not, nobody is ever going to believe this double shitburger doesn’t have Made in America written all over it.

I can’t see that Assange is any more guilty of a crime than the New York Times is, but I won’t waste any pity on this whispy dumbfuck. Garden variety attention whore; the internet is full of ’em. He didn’t have to put face on the box . If all wanted he wanted was to get the info out there, he could have dropped it on a server somewhere and posted a note to a blogger. The file would have replicated across the wires like plague.

Like the Climategate leaker did. What was his name? Oh, right — we don’t have a clue.

Actually, there is a good article out today in the defense mags about how the Wikileaks disclosure backfired on Assange and his cohorts….

I have to say that I have been suspicious of the charges against him from the start. Isn’t Sweden full of hot looking Scandinavians? To suggest that not one but Two! Swedish girls had sex with the weird little fuck just strikes me as unbelievable.

Hmmmm.

What is even stranger, if that’s at all possible, is that one of the two Swedish women is a uber-lefty feminista who has publicly advocated using the criminal court system to get back at ex-boyfriends and ex-husbands, e.g. accusations of domestic violence or sexual assault.

It’s getting so a guy can’t make it with a set of sisters and their mother and not get in trouble ….

Picture me shaking my head. I guess this is the international equivalent of taking Al Capone down for tax evasion, eh?

Yeah, I agree entirely with that article, Scoob. I cannot see ANY sense in which this dump did the left any good. And yet, if you read the Guardian, the comments are full of silly lefties bragging about sending him moneys.

Morans.

To hear Assange talk, though, he reallyreallyREALLY thought this was enough to bring down the American government.

Jesus, what a dipwad.

Just watched Obama’s Very Cranky Presser online. Wow. He really was President Sarcastic Jerk.

I didn’t see anybody else mention this. About thirty minutes into the Fox version of the video, he makes a little racial remark I didn’t see live-bloggers mention. Talking about compromise and the imperfection of first editions, he says, “at this country’s founding, I couldn’t go through the front door.”

Hm.

Actually, Ann Coulter had the perfect solution. Assange should be sentanced to life hosting a prime time show on MSNBC…… 😉

Hmmmm.

Daily Mail

From article:
“Jessica reportedly said later that she was upset that he had refused when she asked him to wear a condom… Jessica … then decided to phone Sarah — whom she had met at the ­seminar, and with whom Assange had been staying — and apparently confided to her that she’d had unprotected sex with him.

At that point, Sarah said that she, too, had slept with him… Having taken stock of their options for a day or so, on Friday, August 20, Sarah and Jessica took drastic action.

They went together to a Stockholm police station… The female interviewing officer, presumably because of allegations of a sabotaged condom in one case and a refusal to wear one in the ­second, concluded that both women were victims: that ­Jessica had been raped, and Sarah subject to sexual molestation…. ”

Don’t mess with the Swedish girls. Oh yeah at first it’s all “Count the feet and divide by two” or “I didn’t know there was one of these at the party so …” but later on you’re in a jail cell and the guy on the top bunk is explaining that “He’s Yngve to your Yang”!

It’s amazing what justification can be used to swear out an international arrest warrant. If one can be sworn out for something so trivial and contrived as this then all I can say is:

1. Swedish law is totally whacked out.

2. I wonder other strange, bizarre or idiotic nonsense justifications have been used in the past to get international arrest warrants issued.

3. What’s next? An international arrest warrant for not returning a dvd to Netflix?

Did anybody have Elizabeth Edwards in the dead pool?

I just saw a “developing story” on TV that she died, is she gonna get more deader as the story “develops”?

This could well be as simple as both women finding out that Julian is a whore and deciding to make him pay for for jumping bed to bed with them. I suppose it could be a CIA joint, but Occam’s Razor reminds me that hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned except for two of them. But Interpol? Really?

Assange is doomed – the ludicrous uber-Leftie John Pilger (the world’s worst journalist) offered to stand bail for him.

There can be no greater condemnation.

But the charges? They say less about what a basket case the CIA has become than what an absolute madhouse Sweden is.

Scamper over to Lex’s site, and check out the Swedish lass who is #17 in the slideshow. Let her deal with him.

I just had an epiphany as to what it is that I can’t stand about Obama (it doesn’t portray me in a good light, but never mind.) It’s not his race (that would be awful), it’s not his politics (so Dems are unprincipled scumbags, what’s new?) It’s this: his insouciant, too-cool-for-school preppy demeanour — like he’s the guy that all the girls swoon over when he strolls by with his entourage — when he is in fact the guy in his yearbook voted “most likely to get an atomic wedgie in his thirties (and deserve it)”.

Actually, bottom line: it’s his fucking ears. How in the immortal, ocean-going, copper-bottomed fuck did you Yanks elect someone with those idiotic-looking things hanging off the side of his face? No wonder Ahmadinejad doesn’t take Obama seriously: he’s thinking, “Yeah, so I look like a guy who owns one polyester suit and runs a falafel stand in Dearborn, but the best the Americans can come up with is someone who looks like a stiff breeze might twist his head off? Well, screw him and the Big Satan for wasting my time.” At least with anyone else you get the impression that the American president getting angry isn’t going to just look like Urkel throwing his Trapper-Keeper on the ground and bursting into tears. Sheesh. What a loser.

This story reminds me of that ‘complex but lighthearted’ Robert Redford movie Sneakers where the get away van is driven by the blind guy, the same blind guy who can tell what a silicon chip does by touching it.

“This story reminds me of that ‘complex but lighthearted’ Robert Redford movie Sneakers where the get away van is driven by the blind guy, the same blind guy who can tell what a silicon chip does by touching it.”

Yeah I laughed at that. As a professional programmer I’d have to say that the only movie that ever accurately depicted visually the thought processes that goes on in a programmer’s mind when dealing with code is … “Hackers”. And that visual cue was universally panned by reviewers as being confusing.

“…couldn’t go through the front door.”

Nobody remarked on it because it’s just another FAIL, and such a minor one that it isn’t worth remarking. He and the leftoids have played the Race Card so often that the pips have worn off — and that was an incredibly inept use of it anyway.

Granting for a moment that the point is valid, there he stands up on the Presidential Podium as a living example that Things Have Changed A Bit Since Then, which sort of undermines the accusation he was trying to make. Similar incidents have become so common recently that they aren’t worth noting by either side.

Ric

I see that the Wikileaks supporters are going after Todd and Sarah Palin, hacking their credit and disrupting their web site. Will America’s Finest bother to do anything about that? Or is justice only for Preferred Species anymore?
