The bloggers o’ the left in Houston have always cracked me up. They’re sanctimonious and spend so much time pretending to be intellectuals that they can’t get basic facts right. The latest example comes from Greg Wythe, who fancies himself an expert on statistics and such. But he can’t seem to do basic research before getting hysterical over a tweet by another left-winger.
Vidor doesn’t even get the right Kubosh – Paul isn’t running for council, Mike is. BTW, did you notice that the one retweet of the erroneous tweet was from a Houston Chronicle editorial writer? Says a lot, no? But I digress.’
Greg saw the tweet, linked to it, and declared:
UPDATE: Courtesy of Erik Vidor, here’s a questionable “contribution” to Michael Kubosh’s campaign:
Featuring the tweet above. Then Paul Kubosh asks Greg,
Ahhhhh….enlighten us. What is questionable?
To which Greg responds:
I think most folks who follow this sort of news recognize the obviousness of a $72,000 contribution exceeding the legal limit.
But Greg doesn’t leave it at that unfortunate mistake. He continues in a separate post:
That comes in as the highest legally-filed totals due to Michael Kubosh reporting a $72,000 contribution from a relative.
Yeah, now he says that Mike’s report isn’t legal.
Hey Greg: Since you are arrogant enough to answer Paul’s question with a “most folks who follow this sort of news recognize the obviousness”, let me ask you something: are “most folks who follow this sort of news” aware that candidates are not restricted on the amount of money they can put into their own campaign?
I thought so. If you would have bothered to take a breath and find out the truth, you would know that Mike’s given name is…wait…hold on…one minute….you guessed it! Felix Michael Kubosh!!!!!
So the next time you see Greg or anyone else on the left criticizing Rice University’s Dr. Mark Jones (you know, the guy with all the letters behind his name and the credibility of being a dean at one of the best universities in the land), ask yourself….self, isn’t it obvious who the clowns are?
Honest mistake on my part, I get those guys confused. It was brought to my attention later on that Mr. Kubosh's first name was Felix.
Who knew that all you had to do to sort out the multiple Kuboshes was to take a deep breath? Or that I fancy myself an expert in statistic? But hey… feel free to address my arrogance in person since it's never seemed to be a problem when we meet in person, though.
I'm personally reviewing all of the expert statistical research into human arrogance. Oh wait … there I go again!!!!
A "BOOM-TASTIC" moment for Dave!
Awesome. A fine example of the lazy liberal INTELLECTUAL lefties.
The only way I can tell them apart is to count chins; one has five, the other has six. (This data might have to be revised upward without notice as we draw closer to Election Day.)
Dave,
I wanted someone to file a complaint. If you notice Paul did not respond. You are taking all the fun out of this.
Bonus points for liberal left if you can name the profession of the Kubosh brothers. It will make a difference in your future coverage.
Nothing like getting called out by Big Fat Rolly Polly!
Erik, Greg ,
Just own up to it. You thought you had some breaking news that would make the Kuboshes look bad and instead of checking facts you ran wit it. Now with egg on your face you attack those that pointed out your error, which is all you were TRYING to do to the Kuboshes, except they had not made a mistake.
And now you attack Jolly and the others laughing at you own ineptitude.
And why so much animosity for the Kuboshes ?
Did you have a contract to sit behind a desk and collect a Red Light Camera check, or do you want to starve the homeless?
Brains….I invite you to have breakfast with me. I can let you know how our mom tells us apart. Greg I tried to clue you in butit didn't work. You were to quick to jump to conclusions about a tweet from someone I have never met. I make the same offer of breakfast or lunch with you. Erik, how about a retweet saying paul kubosh is not the candidate?
Taking it a little personal dont you think?
Wow! The viperous Coby crawled out from under his rock? Time for a rattlesnake roundup.
Tweeted any death threats lately, Coby?
Paul Kubosh Looks like it was made personal don't you think?
Might these be the same journalists who confirmed the namea of the Asiana pilots?
The problem with media on the left is that they have already written the narrative before checking the facts, and even then often stick with their original story line.
Retweets aren’t endorsements.
Madd personal by you? Big jolly? Or me? I dint always understand everything I read. To much fat between the ears. You kniw its funny if someone would havr made thise comments about a gay person in reference to being gay. He and you would have thrown a fit.
Typing by phone….autocorrect and fat fingers to blame for misspellings.
No, Dave. You’re sorry someone took offense. Gotta learn to play in the big league. 😉
This is a wake up call to know what the competition is doing. The left cheats and they are comfortable doing it. When anyone or entity plays with the truth and does not get it right, it should be challenged. Any one who lies is a scoundrel. We get our information from too many of these characters. Good Post!
My invitation for a meeting with bloggers went unanswered. It is easy to be critical its hard to actually be constructive.
