Credit where credit is due, or, The Audacity of Bullshit

I'm sure you've already seen this EPIC FAIL on the part of sometime Weekly Standard editor and current McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb.



Seriously, how does one show up for a live interview on national TV so unprepared? But lost in our guffawing is the gutsiness of Goldfarb's bullshitting maneuver here. Not enough to make up for being a clueless twit, but executed with total, balls-out gumption.

Sanchez: You said [Obama] hangs around with people who are anti-Semitic. You--OK, we've got Khalidi on the table, give me number two. Who's the other anti-Semitic person that he hangs around with that we, quote, "all know about."

Goldfarb: Rick, we all know who number two is.

[Pause.]

Sanchez: WHO? [Pause] Would you tell us?

Goldfarb: No, Rick, I--I think we all know who we're talking about here.

Sanchez: Somebody who's anti-Semitic who he hangs around with?

Goldfarb: Absolutely.

Sanchez: Well SAY IT!

Goldfarb: I think we all know who we're talking about, Rick.
