An interview with the Trained Gorilla
« on: December 13, 2006, 03:42:46 pm »
This is  an interesting read in an ongoing train-wreck sense.

Some highlights include:

Rocker referring to himself as "the antichrist of liberal views."

Repeated railings against the liberal media.

A complete character assassination of John Schuerholz. (The context in which this arises demonstrates one of the main reasons arbitration is so unappealing to both parties)

And the cliche "some of my best friends are minorities."

Anyway, after yesterday's real news, I realize this is pointless fluff, and we sickened of Rocker a long time ago, but it's still fun to point and gape.
"Holy shit, Mozart. Get me off this fucking thing."

I'd been wondering what John Rocker thought about the immigration debate.  Thank goodness I can now put that question to rest and move on to whether Alex Ochoa agrees with the ISG report.

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
