  • Oliver Stone butchers Dickerson in W. (the movie)

    I saw the preview of W. on the 10/9/08 episode of the Colbert Report (colbertnation.com or hulu.com). Not only did Stone cast an OLD man to play John, but he slaughtered John's words. His words. It's like slaughtering Shakespeare. The clip begins JOHN: Thank you sir. Mr. President, After 9/11, what would you say your biggest mistake would ...

  • Is it the Gabfest 2nd Anniversary?

    During the closing seconds of this weeks Gabfest, John mentioned that a listener informed the Gabbers that its their 2nd anniversary and they weren't sure if it was. I looked into the matter, and this is what I found. 1. In the ''Slate's Complete Podcast Archive'' page the first Gabfest listed is Nov 4, 2005 2. Doing a search for ''Gabfest'', ...

  • Re: Emily Eating Chocolate...

    John Eating Hamburgers...David Eating Potato Chips...Now that I have your attention... Come on, whats up with the subject title? If your looking for a group photo, I don't know about that. But if you want to know what the Gabbers look like out of curiosity, let me give you the Dr. Zaius warning. ''Don't look for it, ... You may not like what you ...

  • Gabfest -- Bring back the August 2007 "B-team", please!

    I have been listening to the Gabfest since its inception, but have never been moved to comment until now, largely because I felt that whatever gripes I might have with it were offset by the fact that it was free. However, at the beginning of the August 10 Gabfest, Jacob Weisberg, substituting for the regular crew (who are on vacation for the ...

  • The reign of David 'The Impaler' Plotz is over

    Rejoice Slate staffers for the great fearless leader Jacob Weisberg has returned. David Plotz ruled with an iron fist. I know he instantly rejected a big article on Big Foot. What a big meanie! Alright, I'm just kidding around. But I did notice an anomaly when I listened to some recent Gabfest episodes again. As most of us know, Emily usually goes ...

  • Gabfest Team please help my education

    I was very interested in your section today on the debate over Executive Privilege, but I'm rather confused by the Constitutional origination of the idea. I know that certain things are tacked on to the commerce clause to justify any number of things, but I reread Articles I and II this morning and I didn't see anything that jumped out as ''this ...

  • Photos from the Gabfest Studios

    Hey guys and gals, Can you get us some photos from the tiny closet that is the Slate Political Gabfest Studios? I imagine a wildly dynamic and animated Emily Bazelon downing her 3rd glass of wine. Then of course David Plotz who is able to undercut with shrewed wryness the witty banter placed before him, i'm sure we might catch him rolling his ...
