If you're going to put up a post about an old fake-news story, please have the guts to just run it without trying to pin the blame for its age on your readers. Alternately, just don't post expired fake-news stories.
Otherwise, we're competing with Slog staffers, right? Because here's only one instance where one wrote about the same thing another wrote about, even after it was found out to be a prank.
Speaking of old stuff, does anyone know the source and best wording of the Romney vs. Gingrich comparison that goes something like this:
"What's the difference between Romney and Gingrich? When Romney drives hundreds of miles to Canada with his dog in a carrier strapped to the roof of the family car, he stops at the border and hoses the shit and vomit off the sick dog. When Gingrich drives hundreds of miles to Canada with his dog in a carrier strapped to the roof of the family car, he stops at the border and hoses the shit and vomit off the sick dog, then he replaces it with a younger hotter dog."
I'm thrilled to learn my recent tip about John Wilkes Booth's midget porn double was ignored because it was old news and not because you lacked interest in midget porn doubles. +1 Humankind, faith
In a version I've heard of that joke, Romney doesn't actually hose the shit and vomit off his sick dog after driving hundreds of miles with it on the car's roof. Instead, he leaves the dog on the roof and drives through a car wash.
