Cheesy in blackface

We teased this site over a cheesy attempt to get it to show up on search engines. The foolish text is now gone (or hidden).

Now it's time to tease the Huffington Post for this post: The cause follows:

I don't know exactly how things would have been different if Joe HADN'T been around to lend his "experience" to the GOP on such key issues, but it sure would be nice to find out.

Jane Hamsher is in Connecticut covering the Lamont/Lieberman race and blogs about it daily at firedoglake.com

Now if you click on the link to the post you won't see a graphic. This is because the graphic was removed once it was posted elsewhere.

I'm not going to tease them for removing the graphic. Pulling it is the right thing to do. I'm not even going to tease them for not apologizing or commenting on it's removal. They are of course trying to pretend it wasn't there, in this internet age that is a lost cause but it might fool those who don't frequent the sites that caught them.

What I'm teasing them about is leaving the line (Graphic by DarkBlack) in the post. I've heard of lack of forethought (the posting of the graphic is a good example of it, but this is lack of afterthought. Cheesey Cheesey Cheesey!


Update: Boy Michelle types faster than me, but I had a customer interupt me and they come first.
