Anti-Israel schnorrer blogger Richard Silverstein has predictably defended his former co-blogger Larry Derfner, who was just fired from the Jerusalem Post for appalling comments he made on his blog.
I don’t plan on spending too much time on Silverstein’s post, but I did find this part humorous:
Forget the Silver Surfer. It's the Silver-Derfner!
On a personal note, I owe Larry an apology. Recently, a reader informed me that Larry’s remarks about the dissolution of our blogging partnership were featured on a number of right-wing pro-Israel websites. This angered me as I felt his words were being used to further tarnish my reputation. Larry didn’t see it that way. We had words, harsh words. I want him to know if he reads this that while we may have had, and still have political disagreements (one of the major reasons our project together broke up), that my portion of yesterday’s interchange was wrong, especially given the context, and I hope he’ll accept my apology.
Silverstein apologizing is always funny, but talk of his reputation being tarnished is pure comedy gold!
Meanwhile, I’m sure the JPost will not find this lie by Silverstein humorous:
