Andrew Dobson gave up on Wu.
Fucking Dobson.
Y'know, this highlights the thing that genuinely pisses me off about John. The only other lolcow who actively angers me is MovieBob, but there it's all about his personality and attitude. With John it's not even him. John himself is obnoxious, stupid, hypocritical, and an obvious grifter, but for all that he's more amusing than anything else. He's someone who for all his supercilious attitude just can't seem to help tripping over his own dick (ironically enough). No, with John my anger comes from
why he's known at all.
You look at the anti-GG brigade, and they got sick of him. Someone like Dobson got sick of him. CON was relieved to see the back end of him. And yet because he spouts the right platitudes, because he's successfully portrayed himself as an innocent victim, outfits that really, really ought to know better give him a platform and friendly media. I mean, this guy is a
blatant fraud, from his gender to his personal history to his status as a software engineer (or any kind of expert at all). His understanding of politics is so childish that it's apparent to anyone with three functioning brain cells that this candidacy is going precisely nowhere, and in all likelihood it's just another scam. It takes ten minutes of Googling to find out about his sordid history, his nigh-fraudulent business ventures, and his generally unbalanced demeanor.
And yet he got a puff piece about his candidacy in the New York Times Magazine.
The eventual collapse will be both ghastly and delightful, but if not for media that wanted to be suckered we'd never have heard about this shrill nightgaunt at all.
