he's like a ventriloquist, except... you know, with his self.

I looked through my pictures from that session and wouldn't you know it? There's only a picture of Jerome Armstrong.  Obviously, I just knew that he was the only one that mattered and those others were dime-a-dozen actors.  

(Actually, I was too interested in what they all had to say to take pictures)

Sorry - it was just waiting to be said....

Impossible!  I saw that CNN blog chick (HAWT) posing with Mr. Armstrong on Election night.

Of course, by the look on his face, he was more concerned with the shrimp plate he was holding than the extremely attractive female standing next to him - but hey, there IS another photo of this mysterious Jerome Armstrong character.

Why only Stoller's elbow???????? What are you trying to hide?????

oh god, this is genius.

yall should run with this joke, well, forever.

all Matt Stoller is is a disembodied elbow????

The horror.  

Haha.  Here is a pretty good one of Stoller, though his elbows are hiding, so I can't definitively match him with the above picture.

Sadly, I have no pictures from the pool.

These are cyborgs designed by DARPA to undermine the blogosphere!

Not only do Bowers, Stoller and Singer not exist, but I have a footprint molding that proves Jerome is actually Big Foot and has been thought of as such ever since he crashed into Roswell while checking to see how the pyramids he build were holding up.

if you were to be able to see a little further left you would see me and Sarah R. Carter...

oops I mean... Jerome Armstrong and Jerome Armstrong.

-C.

gotta use it on the bald spot... err Jerome....

Can't you call Maureen Dowd as a character witness? Wasn't she in the room?

They impugned your integrity.  We regular readers know that what about the public?

It is not enough to write about it here to correct the mistake but they should do that with their viewers.  

And finally tonight, we made an error on last Friday's Beat the Press program during a report on bloggers accepting money from political campaigns.  Reporter John Carroll quoted a MyDD posting saying that MyDD founder Jerome Armstrong was the person behind several online pseudonyms.  that posting was meant as satire, and many people have written to tell us that with a little checking, we could have determined that the individual names referred to were actual bloggers.  We should have checked, and we regret not doing so.

I'm enjoying the irony that one of the blogs to have a policy of main-pagers using their real names is the blog accused of being a bunch of Jerome Armstrong sock-puppets.  

For the record, I was in the room when the picture was taken and I can vouch that the picture is accurate and of real people, not cardboard cutouts.

That said, you main-pagers haven't convinced me that you can't merge a la the Constructicons into some Devestator-eque uber-blogger.      

...what's with the shirt being unbuttoned? Was it 70s day at YearlyKos?

We all have cognitive dissonances we must ease.  For a journalism professor, or a talk-show host, who are used to the old ways, just imagine the external threats.  There are all of these new channels, and websites, to keep track of.  How much easier to deal with life if only the new stuff isn't all that.

I don't think any of them are Jerome.

This is a very good diversionary tactic.  We all know that there really is no "Jerome Armstrong", and this site and all its commenters are all Markos Moulitsas.  Don't be fooled by this liberal krank of a site.  Its all a conspiracy against, against, against...

Hehehe, personal responsibility indeed.

Fight on Jerome, or Markos, or whomever you are!
