Me, emailing this link to rita with subject line “i knew it”
Rita: “hahah, definitely saw THAT one coming! they also have to be in some sort of deal with that connecticut roy rogers. every single fung wah i have ever taken has stopped at that one roy rogers. i say we send in the tip”
ME: I then tell rita that the new 30 Rock is already online. She goes crazy and there is radio silence as she watches the episode at work.
Rita: Raving about her love for tina fey, followed by this:“in fucked up news, did you hear about this. when i heard it for the first time, i automatically thought that this girl was pulling a tawana brawley. i mean did she really think this was a good idea? i'm completely floored.”
Me, in a very rationale stream of consciousness: “omg, she made it up. soo fucked up. and that was like THE story on drudge the other day. and so racially charged. disgusting.”
Rita, now beginning a series of rants (only interrupted once to tell me how incredible 30 Rock is): “even michelle malkin is calling bullshit on the girl! you know your conservative propaganda is B.S. when even she won't take the bait. the story is disgusting - but not at all surprising. i just can't get over how she thought the story of a petty thief becoming enraged over her mccain sticker would actually be believable.”
Me, in the interest of keeping the news coming: send this link.
Rita, hoping that the police will charge the loon, continues her rant: “the worst thing is, debunking it won't stop the related chain emails that little republican grandmas are zipping around the internet at this very moment. people are most likely going to remember the story the way they want to remember it. Ugghhh”
Me: more news breaking
Rita, clearly still worked up: “AWESOME. she must really be deranged. . . .maybe it's a texan thing. part of me feels bad for her, because her life is clearly ruined for the time being. the other part of me wants to rub it in her face (scratch it in her face?). i mean come on, she wrote the "B" backwards. rocket science, it is not. my favorite thing about that was the commenters on malkin's blog who were like "well if it's backwards that PROVES it was a black guy. he's probably illiterate". some of them are standing by her and saying "clearly, the police had an agenda and forced her to recant". i hate this country, haha”
Rita: “i'm still reading the comments on michelle malkin's blog. now there are two MORE paths being taken by the fundo crazies:
1.) claiming that the face-carver is secretly a democrat and she's trying to make republicans look bad 2.) asking about the resolution of the columbia university noose hoax (great idea, deflecting scrutiny - a comment written by someone with the screen name "BlameAmericaLast")”
