MORON THE LIBRARIAN

This:
...is a Pog. Pogs are stupid, but sometimes people think they're fun to play with. I mention them by way of introducing another stupid thing that's fun to play with, ProgressivePete, or Prog, as he's affectionately known. By someone. I hope. Because most of us can't stand the guy. I suspect that Proggie is employed as a librarian, because of how frequently he tells people to "go read," as a substitute for backing up his arguments. There he is, fumbling his way through the stacks, greasy comb-over beginning to peel off of his mottled scalp, trying to hold a shifting stack of books against his argyle sweatervest. Better act fast, ladies, this is a hot item!

Just pay attention to the wax and wane of Prog's snotty attitude. Every time someone questions his facts or analysis, he simply retorts, "You're so dumb, go read more, huh huh huh." OK, we get it. You're a dork. No need to over do it:

ProgressivePete: Someone explain to Jesus Claus how effective the Iraqi sanctions were now that we know what went on. Jesus Claus clearly cannot read. Somebody tell that dumbass.
vacreeper2003: Iraq was contained
evyunq: Pete, go ahead if you have the words.
ProgressivePete: Now Jesus Claus is going to explain how GWBush thinks. This guy needs to get off the mic and read and read. He's years behind.
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus for President. End of World by 2010. Then nothing left to worry about.
veto kid: PROGRESSIVEPETE= PP
ProgressivePete: This guy coming up next? I bet you $4000.23 he says he agrees
ProgressivePete: The Taliban made lots of terrorist threats if the USA attacked them. We did. They didn't.
Jesus Claus: pete, the taliban are not the Iranians
vacreeper2003: The Taliban spent time with Bush at his faux-ranch
Jesus Claus: apples and oranges
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. And I am not Freddy Fender.
ProgressivePete: So what? Same concept
Jesus Claus: no, not same concept
Jesus Claus: not even close
ProgressivePete: Iran can't do squat... but if they got NUKES. Well, then of course, they could threaten everyone
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. How do you feel about terrorists with nukes?
ProgressivePete: Just asking.
Jesus Claus: pete, how do you feel about loose nukes?
ProgressivePete: Jesus. I asked you a question. Please answer. How do you feel about terrorists with nukes?
Jesus Claus: we must do whatever we can to keep mukes out of the hands of stateless terrorists
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. Do you actually think that Iran won't supply a terrorist with a nuke? Be serious when you answer this one.
Jesus Claus: hi consider pakistan a far bigger threat
Jesus Claus: I
Jesus Claus: and we are allied with them
vacreeper2003: Pakistan tested an ICBM last week
Jesus Claus: so, what do you want done about them?
vacreeper2003: sucessfully tested that is
ProgressivePete: Jesus. The leader in Pakistan holds the reigns there. He is no terrorist. The leaders in Iran ARE. You need to think about this Iranian situation a little more deeply.
Jesus Claus: how is he no terrorist?
Jesus Claus: he is a military dictator
vacreeper2003: Pakistan is a military dictatorship
Jesus Claus: who murders and tortures his own people
plastermaster: Mushareff isnt a terrorist??....then you would agree Saddam wasnt either?..what a fool statement
Jesus Claus: He's fucking saddam, you moron
vacreeper2003: Pakistani governments don't last long
Jesus Claus: neither do Iranian
ProgressivePete: Jesus. Again you amaze me with your ignorance. Look up Musarrif and his background. You are so dumb it is constantly surprising you can speak at all.

An amusing insult, to be sure. But note that Prog might be panicking a little here. He wanted to dazzle us with his brilliant analysis of Iran, and might have staggered a bit when I shifted the argument to Pakistan. He recovers, but clearly he's on unfamiliar ground, as will be demonstrated shortly:

Jesus Claus: pete, we all know exactly who this guy is
vacreeper2003: Musarrif is a military dictator - he overthrew an elected government
Jesus Claus: you might want to go back to the books
Jesus Claus: especially if you don't want to talk anymore
Jesus Claus: don't ask me questions if you don't like the answers
ProgressivePete: Jesus. Apparently you think he is a terrorist. He isn't. Only YOU can make yourself less stupid than you are.
Jesus Claus: pete, do you know what a madrassa is?
Jesus Claus: Pakistan allows madrassas to run that train terrorists
Jesus Claus: Pakistani ISI is connected to Bin Laden
veto kid: PROGRESSIVEPETE=PP
Jesus Claus: Bin Laden is most likely under their protection in northern pakistan
ProgressivePete: The nukes in Pakistan are NOT getting into terrorist hands.
ProgressivePete: Any nukes in Iran would.
DommieGoddess: veto...nuffin wrong wif a pee pee
Jesus Claus: now, since Bin Laden killed 3000 of my fellow New Yorkers, do NOT try to tell me who is and isn't a terrorist
Jesus Claus: explain why, in detail, pete
Jesus Claus: including how you came to know for certain
Jesus Claus: thanks
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. That you know one person who is a terrorist, makes you know all that are?
Jesus Claus: tell us how you know musharref wouldn't provide nukes to terrorists

And now we'll test Prog's undoubtedly voluminous knowledge of Pakistan and nuclear proliferation:

Jesus Claus: pete, do you know who gave nuclear tech to Iran?
Jesus Claus: do you know the name of the man?
Jesus Claus: type his name
Jesus Claus: no one else
ProgressivePete: Jesus. Probably Russia, then N. Korea
Jesus Claus: just pete
Jesus Claus: no
Jesus Claus: we know a man who gave Iran nuke tech
Jesus Claus: do you know his name
Jesus Claus: ?
Jesus Claus: No one help pete
Jesus Claus: pete, do you know?
Jesus Claus: can you name this man?
ProgressivePete: Oh please... Jesus. Next you are going to tell me "it's TRUE, I read it on Alex Jones' site!!"
Jesus Claus: Pete, please name the man the US GOVT knows gave nuclear tech to Iran
Jesus Claus: a man who is now under house arrest in his country
Jesus Claus: do you know his name?
ProgressivePete: the guy from Pakistan is ONLY one guy
Jesus Claus: what is his name?
str8tlk: claus give him a hint
ProgressivePete: Most of what they have didn't come from him
Jesus Claus: can you name him?
ProgressivePete: I don't know his name, nor do I care. Iran just got missle tech from N. Korea
Jesus Claus: i see
Cantremembermypassword: PP is "googling" one moment please
str8tlk: think of a star trek movie
ProgressivePete: I don't care where they get it, I only care they don't succeed in MAKING nukes
Jesus Claus: so, one of the major players in nuclear proliferation
Jesus Claus: and you don't know who he is
Jesus Claus: I'm glad you aren't giving State Dept briefings
Jesus Claus: hahahahahahahahahah
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. You make a big deal of trivialities, and ignore NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN HANDS OF TERRORISTS.
Jesus Claus: "Oh, it's that guy, you know, that guy, what's his name?"
Diogenic: The head of Pakistan's nuclear program did mention, in an interview, that he got tech support from N. Korea, and gave some to Islamic nations, including Iran. Ironiclly, he's still on the job, despite his "loose tongue".
Jesus Claus: ah, I see Google came through where your brain did not, Pete
Jesus Claus: hahahahahahahahaha
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. I really don't care what his name is. I am serious. I don't care. I care that Iran doesn't get nukes. You have your priorities really screwed up.

I love how str8tlk was feverishly trying to pass Prog a clue. I think you're wasting your time, str8, the Cluephone has been ringing off the hook at Prog's house for a very long time. For those of you playing our home game, the correct answer was...A. Q. KHAN!

Jesus Claus: did you care that North Korea not get nukes?
Jesus Claus: cause that didn't work out
Jesus Claus: how about the loose nukes left after the collapse of the USSR?
Jesus Claus: care about those?
ProgressivePete: Clinton gave them the technology faster than I could keep up with it. I didn't realize we had such a bad President. I knew he was bad, but not THAT bad.
Jesus Claus: how about Bush letting India work freely on more nukes?
Jesus Claus: hahahahahaha
Jesus Claus: Clinton, huh?
Jesus Claus: hahahahahahahaha
Jesus Claus: of course
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. Come on. India and Pakistan have had nukes for over 30 years
Jesus Claus: always, it comes back to Clinton
veto kid: LOL
Jesus Claus: always always always
Cantremembermypassword: i was wondering when the "Clinton did it" phrase would be used
veto kid: TRUE
Jesus Claus: did Bush make any mistakes in your opinion over NK?
Jesus Claus: any at all?
veto kid: FOOLS
Cantremembermypassword: are sick
Jesus Claus: or is everything Clinton's fault?
Funk This: has bush ever made a mistake?
evyunq: Someone please give Bush a blowjob so we can impeach him.
veto kid: HERE HERE
ProgressivePete: Just go with the U.N. on nukes Jesus Claus. The U.N. has said the same thing about countries getting nukes for years and years and years. Do you know what their policy is? I bet not.
Jesus Claus: So, can you answer?
Jesus Claus: In your opinion, did Bush make mistakes over NK?
Jesus Claus: and if so, elaborate
ProgressivePete: Jesus. You are getting dumber by the minute. You asked about N. Korea. I answered. You didn't like the truth. Now you are angry. So? What is the U.N. policy on countries getting nukes?
Jesus Claus: No, you answer me first
Jesus Claus: Can you name and describe any mistakes Bush made over NK?
ProgressivePete: If you answer MINE, I will be glad to.
Jesus Claus: or is the extent of your answer "CLINTONDIDITTOO!"
Funk This: CLAUS ASKED FIRST YOU DUMBASTARD
ProgressivePete: I just feel you have given up Jesus Claus, because you are exposed as an ignoramous.
Jesus Claus: He's right, I did ask my question first
ProgressivePete: Bush knows better than to have military conflict with a madman with a nuke.
ProgressivePete: That answer your question?
Jesus Claus: listen, your insults are top notch, pete
Jesus Claus: but your answers leave something to be desired
Jesus Claus: no, pete, that doesn't answer the question
Jesus Claus: not by a long shot
ProgressivePete: So answer MY question now Jesus Claus, if you can.
ProgressivePete: I bet you can't tho. Because you know so little about foreign affairs, you don't want to let on how ignorant you really are.
Jesus Claus: you didn't answer mine correctly, pete
ProgressivePete: I knew it.
ProgressivePete: I knew it.
Jesus Claus: You messed it up
Jesus Claus: the question was, what mistakes did Bush make TO ALLOW NK to get nukes
Jesus Claus: and you didn't answer it
Jesus Claus: because you apparently don't know
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. Many others in this room actually know the answer to my U.N. question. And they were watching you on this.
ProgressivePete: They know your silence means one thing
ProgressivePete: You don't know
Jesus Claus: For example, pete, did you know that Kim Jong Il kicked IAEA inspectors out of NK?
Jesus Claus: did you know that?
Jesus Claus: because their plutonium fuel rods were under IAEA observation under lock and key
ProgressivePete: the IAEA is the UNITED NATIONS, moron. Did you know that the U.N. is not the U.S.A?
ProgressivePete: Moron?
Jesus Claus: did you know that, pete?
Jesus Claus: yes or no?
Jesus Claus: was the first time you knew that when I said it?
Jesus Claus: listen, everyone knows that countries are allowed to use nuclear tech for power but not weapons
Jesus Claus: can you answer my question now?
Jesus Claus: pete, do you or do you not know what happened when Bush named NK as a member of the Axis of Evil?
Jesus Claus: well?
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. You are laughable. You really do get all your "info" from Alex Jones, fess up now.
ProgressivePete: Funk. We know what Kim Jong Il said. Of course Kim Jong Il always tells the truth doesn't he... Oh come on guys, don't be complete raving ignoramouses.
Jesus Claus: I think we are done here
ProgressivePete: Jesus. You are certainly DONE
ProgressivePete: LOL
MrArchieBunker: LOL Pete
Jesus Claus: NK was allowed to complete construction oh 4-8 nukes as a result of Bush's inaction
ProgressivePete: Arch... it always amazes me how liberals can talk so much and know so little.
Jesus Claus: in response to Bush's aggressive posture, Il broke seal on the plutonium rods, took them to the nuclear facility, and completed his nukes
MrArchieBunker: Oh, they love to talk Pete
RichardCranial: you mean because of carter and clinton inaction jesus
Jesus Claus: Bush, his team paralyzed by indecision, did nothing
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus... REALLY? And that's the truth of it eh? You are such a dupe...
Jesus Claus: i think you're a little confused on how nuclear prolif works
RichardCranial: what did carter albright and clinton do?
Jesus Claus: I think this latest debacle deserves to be memorialized
ProgressivePete: Jesus Claus. You need more time to read the now very old Nuclear Non-Proliferation policies of the United Nations. Don't cheat yourself of your belated education. If you can read, there is HOPE for you Jesus Claus. Try the UN site
Jesus Claus: hahahahahahahahaha
Funk This: pete, your obviously not a moron, but you certainly are an ignorant
Jesus Claus: hahahahahahahaha

I went back and calculated Prog's score:

Number of insults - 12.
Number of questions answered correctly - 0.

That's a pretty sorry performance, Proggie. You don't know who A. Q. Khan was. You don't know what happened on Bush's watch in North Korea. And you certainly don't know how to please a woman. You hit the trifecta!
