VIDEO Exclusive: Stacy McCain Interviews Ed Morrissey

Update: Fixed the YouTube clip.  First day, new thing.

My efforts to start vicious rumors about Hot Air have been derailed.
Ed Morrissey thoroughly refutes the rumors that the new Hot Air will be about:

  • Manga
  • Cat blogging
  • The Elders of CTHULHU

Instead, to quote Ed, the new owners:

…are not looking to make changes at Hot Air.

    I like Ed and Allah a lot (even if I often disagree with Allah’s eye-oreisms). Hey Ed, my Hot Air password is loss and when I ask for a new one it never comes. I doubt I have been banned because I am really good (it would say that). Help.

    Ed Morrissey’s neoconservative vested interests are a perfect Salem fit. Allahpundit will continue playing the “bad good guy” atheist paid to keep prodigals within the kickback GOP ranks.

    Jonathan Garthwaite’s in charge, the internet merger of respectable neoconservative interests.

    His career began supporting a corrupt kickback neoconservative opportunist politician posing to the public as a staunch Constitutional conservative in order to win elections during a public reactionary swing towards conservatism back from liberalism. Garthwaite “assisted” Colorado State Rep. Paschall by managing his campaign; but has since purged that history from the internet. And yes, I read the entire Bing entry list regarding Colorado’s brouhaha between corrupt politicians with that fall-out involving Paschall who got off one charge by blaming his companion for exposing his fraud, yet awaits another felony trial on solid witnesses and material evidence. Why would Garthwaite disassociate his record with the association that he yet maintains via revision? CYA Neoconservative revisionism covers kickback corruption.

    The jury acquitted Paschall of the theft charge but failed to reach a verdict on a charge of improper compensation. A new trial on that charge is scheduled for next month.

    Redmond, who was Paschall’s political appointee, recorded a phone conversation with Paschall in which he talked of splitting the bonus, according to the indictment.

    Paschall then directed a deputy treasurer to draw up paperwork for the bonus. He signed it and submitted it for payment.

    The alleged solicitation and paperwork constitute a “substantial step” toward committing theft, the indictment said.

    A few days later – in a conversation that Redmond recorded without Paschall’s knowledge – Paschall discussed how the money could be split. The recording was detailed in the indictment.

    “It actually won’t probably be a third but I just figured a third, and then a third, and a third. You know?” Paschall said on tape.

    Redmond responded: “Okay. I see. So a third going to taxes, then the third to me and the third to you.”

    Paschall: “Right.”
