I’d pay anything to fuck Mark Ames, though I seem to be resentful of this fact.

At the end of the day Ames, the first time I was sitting in the shitty Albian and I came across your paper (the don’t do it Ivan one back in 06), The Exiled became something I actually cherished over the 4 years I was in Moscow, and I’m glad to see that you doing well. to tell you the truth, i’m a bit of a closet case and i’ve always had a crush on you and seeing you on tv just sends a quiver through my pants! that’s why i keep coming back and make sure to write at least one comment a day. i imagine we’re having a conversation…it’s as if you cared enough about losers like me.

nice interview ames, but you need decent stage make-up! looking a touch blotchy. it’s a bit distracting in this tiny youtube clip and probably more so in HD.

hope you do more of these tv interviews. american oligarchy indeed.

Just like everyone else, you get the keys to the gate and you censor, snark and nihilism are only marketing strategies, at the end of the day you react just like the other establishment hacks protecting themselves from relevant criticism. Keep doing the media circuit, the kind of whores that cost 100 dollars in America are missing teeth but the exploitation is the same if it’s the apathy posing as enlightenment thing that gets you off.

Speaking and writing are incredibly different skills, all of the rhetorical tactics of Bill O’Reily are worthless in print form, I’ve seen O’Reily hold his weight with intellectuals like Krugman and Dawkins but if he had to talk economics or God in an academic journal or even an online forum he would come off like an idiot, well, he usually comes off like an idiot anyways, but actually read the transcripts to O’Reily or Hannity, it is often nonsensical and at times borderline retarded. The shock and awe of his debating style seems to disarm academics, kind of like when a cop has got that control presence thing going, figures like this are your eternal, disappointed father, all you want to do is crawl back into your bedroom and masturbate into a sock to numb the pain.

I was going to make a chin-scratching observation about Ames on TV, and I was even going to use the cliched expression “at the end of the day” in my observation, but then I realized, shit, I’m the guy in the comments section. I’m actually that guy. Kind of embarrassing.

Well, well, well surprise, surprise my comment is so incredibly stupid that I’m sure I’ve hit on the central problem with the world: too many people like me breed.

If I had any balls I would get a life, but that would mean facing the reality that I have no clue about the world.

I keep seeing the name Michael McFaul in articles about Obama’s visit to Russia. We need an article on how big a role he plays in current Russia policy and how much damage he could do.

Ames – Russia doesn’t want Americans to be dumb, they hated Palin, remember? Remember? You should’ve also explained why Putin is loved in Russia.

The rest of it – great job Ames!

I know this will get censored or deleted like when I posted a comment on Sean’s Russia Blog without repudiating what I said (so much for free speech) but I’ll try anyway.

When I look at Obama I think of [NOTE FROM MOSSAD: WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS INFORMATION TO REACH THE PUBLIC, OR OUR PLANS TO ENGULF AND DEVOUR THE WORLD WILL BY STYMIED. DAMN YOU, JACKFROST! HOW DID YOU FIGURE US OUT? YOU'VE ESCAPED OUR HAIRY CLUTCHES, BUT WE'LL GET YOU YET! AS SOON AS WE CAN STOP HACKING UP AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT OUR BAD BACKS AND OUR SORE KNEES...OY VEY!]

Well done, Ames. I’m shocked that they let you talk about the American oligarchy. Has that ever happened on a major news network before?

BTW, how about writing an article on this American oligarchy, listing the specific members? Its time these greedhounds got outed.

You’ve got alot of balls Mark, to expose the oligarcy on the news. Very admirable, I just hope people wake up to the reality of what you’re saying rather than merely dismissing you as a deluded leftist.

Ha,ha,ha ohh man I was going to call you a fat American and then i realized the reason I’m skinny is that I’m a poor Third World east european. Some day we’ll have enough food to be fat, but for now, we’ll, we’d just like Bob Geldoff and Bono to help us.

Very true and interesting point, this commonality between the small US & Russian power/money-hungry elite at the top. Any thoughts about who that oligarchic clique might be?…

@4: if “smoke out” means “have sex with” then he probably didn’t…she doesn’t appear to be reduced to sex slavery.
