Jack Thompson's New Gig: Pundit

Am I the only one who gets the sense that "conservative columns" are for washed up people whose actual careers have gone down the toilet?  There was that Pat Boone guy who Dennis covered a while ago and now this.

I just realized how perfect a set up this new "job" is for Jack.

Now he has even more reason and time to spend on a computer, something that has already been long his favorite pastime.

And any site that includes Ann Coulter and many of those other names in a positive manner isn't one that deals much with sensible reason.  Which means Thompson will really fit in there!

I'm curious if this is actually a paying gig or not.  Looking at their "contributors" most of them are just republications of nationally syndicated columns that they convieniently don't mention. 

I find it quite funny that at one point he writes, "he told this reporter." So now he's calling himself a reporter?

So, now he's just a Right Wing nutjob writing for a Conservative blog run by other Right Wing nutjobs that will only be read by more Right Wing nutjobs.  Sounds fine to me.  Based on the comments I read it sounds like he's just preaching to the choir, which again is just fine (hey, the guy's bound to have at least some people who share his extremist viewpoints, improbable as that may seem.)  We've been after him for years to get his own blog so he can spew his hatred, lies and outrageous statements.  Well, he's finally pretty much got that now.  So just let 'im.  At least he now has a venue to do that, so hopefully that'll mean he'll be harassing us here less often and abusing the comments section here with his spamming, insults and threats.

Personally I thought maybe he would have been hired by the PTC, which would have been a match made in hell.  At least now he's just another Conservative hack and can't threaten anyone with lawsuits.  As long as Fox News doesn't give him a television show, I don't think we have much to worry about from him.  I won't subscribe to his RSS feed, but I might bookmark it.  It should be good to read at least for a few yuks.

1. Human Events? That rag has no credibility at all. I've seen ads for them in my Gmail. They publish Ann "Coultergeist" Coulter, Robert Novak, L. Brent Bozell III, Michelle Malkin, Bill "BillO the Clown" O'Reilly, and Phyllis Schlafly. If that doesn't give some indication of their inanity, I don't know what will.

2. How would federal legislation on video games be a conservative thing? I thought that conservatism (at least in the American sense) meant less government intervention and regulation, not more.

I, for one, won't be signing up to his rss feed, won't be visiting his blog, and I won't be posting comments to his site.

Please people, keep in mind that places like that count HITS, not opinions. Which means he can be full of spit, you could log on there and say he is full of spit, everyone could be proving that he is full of spit, but the website would only count hits.

This is ONE case where ignoring him would make him go away.

I am also surprised that anyone would hire him when he has already been disbarred for lying among other things. I doubt he put much truth in his resume, and unless they actually looked up stuff (rather then just calling his references a.k.a. Wunderman) then they probably don't know Jack.

Me. I already declared war on him in the first place.

So who will be the first to spam his articles with Press releases and letters? Any takers?

Congrats on the new gig. It is a far cry from Raise Hell Inc. I was really looking forward to finding out what that company was. But this new gig suits you well. Enjoy and have much success.

Wow! He looks like a stone cold lifelong pyronecrohomobestiphiliac sociopath in that picture. He must be a man on a mission from some lame God to be sure.

Congrats to him, idiotic rants won't put foods on his family's table.

Oh no, he can write articles about us, I am shaking in my boots, haha.

LOL I see he finally got his own blog ;)

Congrats Thompson.  I don't know why you thought we wouldn't be pleased.  I think writing for a conservative publication is wholly appropriate for you.

Just remember that you're a contributor, not a columnist.  I'd hate to have to contact Human Events and tell them that you're misrepresenting yourself.

No, seriously... I'm happy for the guy. I mean... as an attorney, JT was just a caustic, abusive, jerk. As a pundit... well... I think after a long drawn out election year, we're all pretty resistant to written insanity :P. But I hope his tenture at human events bear more fruit than his previous career... cuz a little constructive use of his time would probably be really good for the guy.

okay, well that didn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense...

but the message still stands: CONGRATS JACK! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW DIGgS!

So wait, he writes reports and expects the president to actually care? Am I supposed to be impressed or something here? I feel like this is just another epic fail for him. Good to know that he got a new job. I'll take bets on how long he can hold it till he gets fired for sending porn to his boss or something like that. Hahah.
