What a Whiny Bitch

Joe Klein acts like a turd at a party to I.F. Stone's grand daughter, where among other things, he claims that Wikipedia is "leftist", and has clueless his ass handed to him, and then he basically describes her as a member of Glenn Greenwald's "cult", and then he gets his nose out of shape about this:

Now, Greenwald himself has published private emails of mine that were part of a conversation taking place on a list-serve. In one of those emails, I say that Greenwald "cares not a whit for America's national security."

You know, the intersection of private emails and listserve (no hyphen, dude) is a null set. If you post to a listserv, and expect it to be private, you are a complete tool.

He further goes on, republishing another of his emails from the listserv, that while, "not a religious reader of Greenwald," he has never heard him talk about who well, for example, well things went in Anbar province.

Ignoring the obvious, that if you are, "not a religious reader of Greenwald," then you don't know whether he wrote this or not, there is also the fact that Glenn Greenwald writes about civil liberties, not military tactics, but he continues to insist that because he, Joe Klein, has not read something on the subject, that Greenwald is somehow evil and anti-American.

It should be noted that the real cause of this is when Glenn Greenwald showed that Klein was holding authoritatively on the FISA legislation in Congress, and being completely wrong, because he had been, "he'd been lied to, by a Democratic Staffer," ignoring the fact, that if he had read the legislation, or even if he had just had an intern read the legislation, he would have been known that what he was spouting was a crock of sh$#.

So much like Dick Cheney, Mr. Klein is a whiny bitch.

[update]Greenwald's response, though it is rather more generally directed at the Washington DC Kule Kidz, than at Klein.
