Who's on first?

It's only Tuesday and the robust world of the SC blogdom is achurn. A reader whose blog we love madly chides Waldo for self-aggrandizing posts in the manner of FITS News and The Palmetto Scoop, suggesting we three are kindred spirits. Having been officially defined as Not Conservative by Blog Net News' ratings service, and defined as Someone They Do Not Read by FITS and TPS, Waldo's not sure the shoe fits.

FITS News zinged Waldo yesterday for calling him out to prove his accusations that the housing /mortgage crisis stems from Congressman Barney Frank having had a past "homosexual relationship" with an executive at Fannie Mae? Or was it Freddie Mac? Doesn't matter; FITS sets it up as a stalking horse for, of all people, Bob McAlister of SC Conservative for likening FITS to a mutant organism while uplifting The Palmetto Scoop as a rational life form (we're not even going there). SC Conservative has blasted Waldo as a tool generally, and one of the homosexual persuasion more particularly, and we've never met anyone of that site's clerks. Another unlikely alliance. In fact, one that doesn't exist. FITS News and TPS- well, they don't much like each other. So Waldo's puzzled how he's become part of the MSM crusade against FITS News (since, as noted by FITS on other occasions, he's never heard of Waldo).

SC Hotline bannered a Waldo story about its banishment of three conservative bloggers- including FITS News. FITS News says SC Hotline's owner is a nut.

Oh, and FITS completely ignored the call-out to prove his allegations against Congressman Frank. And while Waldo will cop to one charge of self-aggrandizement, it was one that died aborning. We couldn't afford enough bare-chested men to spell out "Lydecker" on their torsos.
