The selectively quoted Weigel emails included some snarky (if pretty funny) comments about some of the wingnuts he is forced to cover on his beat.<\/p>\n<p>In the ensuing brouhaha, and shameful response by <i>WaPo<\/i>, Klein decided to <a href=\"http:\/\/voices.washingtonpost.com\/ezra-klein\/2010\/06\/on_journolist_and_dave_weigel.html\">shut down JournoList entirely<\/a> and delete its archives so they couldn&#8217;t be further used to selectively &#8220;ACORN&#8221; other members of the list.  (For the record, no, we&#8217;ve never been a member of that email list.)<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter, Rightwing sleaze-monger, Republican operative, opportunist and conspiracy theorist Andrew Breitbart <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlanticwire.com\/opinions\/view\/opinion\/Andrew-Breitbarts-100000-Plot-to-Destroy-the-Left-4168\">offered $100,000<\/a> to anyone who anonymously gave him the entire JournoList archives.<\/p>\n<p>So far, there have been no takers, but it looks like Breitbart may now owe our friend Skippy the Bush Kangaroo at least part of that $100k! Check out Skippy at what may perhaps be <a href=\"http:\/\/xnerg.blogspot.com\/2010\/07\/andrew-breitbart-owes-skippy-100000.html\">his absolute &#8212; and most high-larious &#8212; best&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><b>* * *<\/b><\/center><\/p>\n<p>While Skippy does a fine job of making Breitbart look like a jackass in the highly recommended link above, in truth Breitbart doesn&#8217;t need much help.
