Curt Schilling is a Hypocritical Stupid Piece of Shit

Curt Schilling is a fucking idiot, which I used to point out fairly regularly back when he had his Charlie Daniels Soapbox-lite blog too many times to list individually. He was John McCain's biggest fan, and led the league in yammering about pulling yourself up by the bootstraps; that Uncle Sam spending a penny to "bail out" anyone was the equivalent of Satan and Hitler raping Baby Jesus before burning him alive.

AND YET HERE WE ARE, a few years later, and Schilling, after getting his mitts on tens of millions of taxpayers dollars to put together some stupid video game, is fucking everything up and gee whiz, wouldn't you know, Mr. "Personal Responsibility" has his open mitts extended for more bailout money from the Rhode Island taxpayers. Of course.

Two weeks ago, 38 Studios defaulted on a loan payment, and if they go under, it'd be Rhode Islanders on the hook for more than $112 million. The Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation held an emergency meeting today to discuss what should be done with 38 Studios. Schilling wants them to throw good money after bad, and, as WPRI puts it, "pleaded for additional state assistance."

Hey, here's a thing Curt Schilling said last year!

"There can be no question our country is in the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. I also think there can be no question that it falls on us, the individuals, to find a way out of our own personal crisis."

Schilling has been vocal in his criticism of the ARRA stimulus, even though it directly funded the Rhode Island job creation program that handed out $75 million to 38 Studios. He's also had not-so-nice things to say about the government's various bailouts, even though, yes, one could argue that's exactly what "additional state assistance" could be construed as.

Fuck Curt Schilling

This guy over at the Atlantic wonders how Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling will fare when they both come up for their first votes for the Hall of Fame in 2013. While Clemens' numbers are staggering, obviously his steroid issues are gonna cost him votes (and maybe the Hall.)

But I'm fucking sick and tired of the Schilling in the Hall of Fame nonsense. Yes, after a decade of doing nothing he got his shit together and had a nice career, and pitched in some big games. But are we really supposed to put someone in the Hall of Fame purely based on going 11-2 in the postseason? 13 games, and we put him in the Hall of Fucking Fame? Really? Hey, El Duque went 9-2 in the postseason and won more rings than Schilling. Should we put him in the Hall of Fame?

I think there has to be more of a gap between the number of career postseason wins (11) and seasons with a losing record (8) for a pitcher to get into the Hall of Fame.

Also, if Schilling goes in purely because he was a "big game pitcher," then Robert Horry has to be elected into the NBA Hall of Fame.

Grrrr.

Polls

There are few athletes I despise more than Curt Schilling - he's the typical loudmouth shitforbrains idiot that has brought down this country over the last ten years, confusing "patriotism" with "showing tired, corny, maudlin videos of wounded soldiers that should make us vote Republican." And yes, he's a Red Sox.

Today's post is perfect: young soldier? Check. Proud of his sacrifice for the Iraqi people? Check. Questioning the war = disrespecting the service of the soldiers? oh yeah, big check! And oh, oh, wait for it...oh, what do you know! Amputee!! Dramatic walkaway! Effffff you, liberal faggots!!! Curt, you did it!! You invented patriotism!! I really AM proud to be Lee Greenwood!!!

And of course as vile as Curt can be, with this oh, 94,223rd tearjerker video he and his ilk have shown us hey, he just wants us to watch this one without being "part of the loud noise." And oh yeah, McCain would neeeeeeeever sign off on this video. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that McCain gets more honorable and honest every day, right?

Anyways. Schilling's a jerkoff - anybody who actually DOES agree with the message of the video, fine; but you should be completely embarrassed by this played-out, insultingly mushy bullshit. Why not just have videos of kittens crying cause Obama killed Ol' Yeller?

But all that above's not even my main point. A lot of people for Obama have worked themselves into a frenzy lately re: why is this so close? How is McCain so close in the polls, much less winning in some? I addressed this HERE. It's important for the media to report the polls to be as close as possible so that we breathlessly check into watch Joe Scarborough every 5 minutes.

But I'm here to, again, tell everybody to relax. I think a real indicator of what people are thinking can be found in the comments section of Schilling's blog. I notice there have been 41 comments posted at this time. Can we assume that anyone bothering to take the time to post a comment would be an uber-Curt fan in the first place? Maybe either allowing themselves to be led by the nose by him a bit, or at least give him the benefit of the doubt (ie shut up if they disagree so as not to embarrass him)? Yet out of 41 comments, 35 basically pass on the message "Curt, you're a shithead." I'm paraphrasing.

That's 35 outta 41, that's 85%. 85% who are tired after all these years of shit like this; 85% who don't want this war even going on. Politicians and pundits love to talk about "the people", "the voice of the people", "the folks." So I take this informal poll more to heart than any of the bullshit they sling at us to get us worked up everyday.

Thanks, Curt!

Dumbass

UPDATE: Number 1, I just noticed that the way I wrote "dumbass", it looks as if that's how I'm signing my name at the end of a letter - "Sincerely, Dumbass." hahahaha Obviously I was calling CURT a dumbass. BUT. While I stand by every thing I said above about Schilling being an absolute shithead, in his defense he does a lot of charity work, which can be found on this page. Help is help, even if it's from a shithead, right?

Fuck You, Curt Schilling

I've had fun watching Curt Schilling's stupid video game fiasco 'cause fuck Curt Schilling, that's why, but Matt Yglesias pretty much hits it on the head:

What went wrong? On the state’s side, it looks an awful lot like a toxic interaction between stupidity, desperation, and Red Sox fandom...At around the same time, Schilling was looking to raise more cash to kick 38 Studios into high gear. Having struck out with Wall Street and Boston-area venture capitalists, he turned to the Massachusetts State Legislature and was turned down. You would think that the fact that even Boston VCs and even the Massachusetts government rejected a Red Sox legend’s request would signal that his company was a poor investment. But not, apparently, to the desperate little-brother Red Sox fans of Rhode Island.

And saves the biggest zinger for stupid, stupid Rhode Island:

Perhaps the best path would be to take advantage of the fact that the 38 Studios bonds are moral-obligation bonds rather than general-obligation bonds, and simply default and refuse to pay. The big downside to defaulting is that it makes it much harder to borrow money in the future. But considering Rhode Island’s track record of debt-financed economic development schemes, that might be a blessing in disguise.

Fuck You Curt Schilling

Curt Schilling comes out on Facebook about his recent fiasco:

To all the prayers and well wishes to the team and families at 38, God Bless and thank you! We will find a way, and the strength, to endure.

And is met with the truth about his hypocritical bullshit, here's a few faves:

- The people of RI don't need your prayers, they need their loan payment. How very republican of you to move your company to the place that gives you the best deal and then renege on your promise.

- Government hand outs are OK now ? This gross hypocrisy does not surprise me one bit. Shilling spent his whole career being paid by owners that extort money from the tax payers of the cities and states who build them their venues. He was always a huge benefiter of socialism. Not that that fact ever penetrated his ego.

- Schilling in 2011: "No bailouts for industry!"
Schilling in 2012: "Brother, can you spare a dime for my failed version of Galaxians?"

- And im sure it will be God that will help out his employers not the unemployment benefits thou shalll receive

- a conservative is merely a liberal who hasn't asked for his personal safety net yet.....

- So its alright for you to accept money from the government, but when Solyndra took money from the government and that company went belly up that is a whole different story. I love you Republicans, your motto is "Do as I say, but don't do as I do." Keep praying to the ghost in the sky money will of a sudden appear out of no where. I

- I think you need to invest some of your own vast fortune to bail out your taxpayer funded, tax abated, free land corporation. It pains me that 300 people will become jobless due to your mismanagement but you have declared repeatedly that you are against taxpayer bailouts and are 3000% free market. You are now asking the taxpayers to bail out your failed corporation. Then you tried to kite a check you knew would not clear the bank... Time for you to step up to the plate, sir. Take responsibility for your own actions, your own corporation and bail yourself out.

HAHAHAAH!  Fuck yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew, shithead!

Ah, Curt...You Fucking Idiot

I wasn't gonna bother commenting on my BFF Curt Schilling's latest "Just in case you had forgotten what a complete fucking idiot I am, please read this" rant-off - mostly I laughed and shook my head "what an idiot" as per usual (including about 50% of the comments I saw, where his FANS were like "hey Curt...shut up.")

But then I actually read the Shaughnessy article, and realized that the line that got Curt's g-string in a bunch is, you know...ONE LINE!!! Yeah, Shaughnessy used him as a brief example...but Curt the Idiot doesn't even mention the fact that the article was about the BC football coach and not, you know...CURT SCHILLING. He's fucking crying like a guy who got his shoes scuffed at Ground Zero.

And, because I cannot sleep at night until I've shown a specific example of Curt being an idiot, I ask you to visit this line from Blurt Curt:

So CHB chimes in on the BC coaching fiasco in about as timely a fashion as reporting on the Lincoln Assassination at the outbreak of WWI. Sweet. In the world of hypocrites he’s vaulted to the top spot.

REEEEally? Well. Turns out when Shaughnessy wrote the article, the BC coach hadn't even been fired yet:

Which brings us to Jeff Jagodzinski, the NFL-smitten, AWOL Boston College football coach who appears certain to be fired when he finally meets face to face with athletic director Gene DeFilippo.

Soooooo...Shaughnessy is writing about the BC coach AS HE'S ABOUT TO EITHER GET FIRED OR NOT...which, amongst the smarter circles, is generally referred to as "the thick of things." So actually, Fucking Idiot Monsiuer Schilling, that would be like reporting on the Lincoln assassination AS THE GUN WAS BEING POINTED TO HIS HEAD and not, unfortunately, during WWI. Hmm.

Curt Schilling is Awesome

Man, I fucking hate Curt Schilling. But, like I pointed out with his beyond-stupid Ann Coulter post HERE, so do his own readers whenever he delves into yet another "Obama has killed the country, we need Bush/McCain in charge!!" post like THIS ONE.

My five favorite comments from among the about 95% who shredded him on this one:

Damn…I had thought I deleted you off my feed reader. Let’s give it a try again, shall we?

Schill — No one cares about your company. The fact that you’re paying 100-500 employees salaries over $75,000 for a start-up company is proof enough that you will fail. Isn’t this a company for people who play video games? Simple-minded people like you who pretend they’re 12?

on the off chance that you actually read the comments after writing your screeds, Curt, I just wanted to compliment you for not weighing in on the Mark McGwire news. When you consider your own sorry-butt testimony in 2005, when “the stand-up Curt Schilling” took a big time walk out the door, you have no credibility on this issue. I suspect you realize this — thus the silence. So, thanks for not wasting our time with your worthless opinion. (eds: ba-ZING!!)

Hmm, there’s an election coming up. How should I vote? Who can I turn to for advice? Oh, thank goodness, here’s someone who used to throw a baseball really fast.

Curt you are a joke. Your logic is so poorly thought out it makes me laugh. Please start campaigning for Scott Brown, then smart people will instantly realize he is NOT the man for the job. You are a moron.

Curt Schilling Going into Hall of Fame

Curt Schilling gave up his douchebag blog a while ago, and I've missed it like crazy cuz I loved h8'n on it.

BUT.

Good news!  His blog is going into the Hall of Fame!

COOPERSTOWN, NY—In a move not seen since Roberto Clemente’s posthumous induction in 1973, the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York waived its customary five-year waiting period earlier today and elected Curt Schillings’ blog 38pitches into its hallowed halls...“38pitches really set the standard,” said baseball historian Bill James. “There had been athletic blogs before, but they were run by PR guys or by athletes with a mental filler. Schilling had neither of those"...38pitches’ career highlights include 18 spelling and factual errors in a single post in 2007, four updates in a fifteen-minute period in 2008, being the first professional athlete’s blog to announce planned intercourse with a spouse, and a career total of 1,834 references to Jesus Christ, a record for a professional athlete’s blog.

Ha! 

Curt Schilling Fucking Sucks

Uber-fucking dickhead Curt Schilling is worried nobody's paid attention to him for more than 30 seconds, so he he's jumping into the news by throwing the Red Sox under the fucking bus. Of course.

Previous Curt Schilling Fucking Sucks HERE.

Fuck You Curt

It’s hard to put into words how much I hate Curt Schilling. He is such a loud-mouth look-at-me nobody that I would be okay with the Sox winning another World Series if it meant I could pay a fucking rat 25 cents to walk up and kick this motherfucker in the nuts (oooohhh, bloody nuts!! send them to the Hall of Fame!!) For all of his calling in to every talk show that will have him through the years, blathering that he “knew the real deal” when it came to steroids, when it came to Congress this dipshit started sputtering “oh gee, why listen to me, I’m a jokester! I’m a nobody!!” And then awhile back when he started spouting off at the mouth re: Barry Bonds’ personal fucking life? He cheated on his wife, he cheated on his TAXES??!! Schilling is such a little fucking shit that he has made Barry do the unthinkable: wave away his veneer of “I don’t care.” Barry has said he is going to sue Schilling’s ass off for slander, and I pray to God he actually fucking does it. The pounding Bonds has taken every step of the way to the HR record is bad enuff; but for some motherfucker to go to the airwaves to wave around personal shit like that? OOooooh, lemme guess Schillings argument: “oh, but your Honor! I’m just a ballplayer, a jokester! Who takes me seriously???!!" Fuck you. Bonds is the most hated man in baseball? Not in my eyes. Seriously, read up on this douchebag.

Let’s see what Mad Dog has to say about it.

Curt Schilling's Brain - Outsourced to a Piece of Wood?

My BFF Curt Schilling has posted his 2009 Red Sox Preview HERE, and kicks it off with this paragraph:

Terry Francona will manage the personnel to their maximum effectiveness, regardless of what any second-guessing couch potatoes want to think or know. Tito knows more than you about his players, and always will.

I'm not sure I can say why Curt felt the need to say this. While yes, I do expect fans of his to be complete idiots, does he really think there's a contingent that claims to know more about Red Sox players than their manager? Really? Sounds oddly defensive, no? If he's threatened by know-it-all blowhards who call into sports radio stations blathering nonsense, can't somebody step in and gently remind him that that was HIMSELF he's thinking of? Wtf?

Like anybody who watches a lot of baseball I second-guess shit all the time to whatever friend will listen; but, as he spends every day with them and I have spent 0 minutes with them, I would never actually claim to "know the players" better than the manager. But then, I'm not a complete fucking retard, so maybe I just don't speak the same language as Curt. And that makes me sad :(

And then just to make sure we don't forget he is a complete fucking buffoon, Curt picks the Red Sox to win 105 games. Yes. In a year wherein their division is being touted as the toughest in memory, in which the Sox/Yankees/Rays are going to spend all year chewing each other up, Schilling thinks now that the Sox have gotten rid of Manny Ramirez and Tim Wakefield will be pitching underhand they will win 105 games. Hmm. Doubt it. To do that they'd pretty much hafta go 38-0 against the Orioles and Blue Jays, which I'm going to assume might not happen.

If he keeps this pace of absolute stupidity up, I have a feeling his beloved GOP will soon come running to get Curt to run for Congress.

Ah, Curt. What can we say? You're a blithering fucking idiot, and that's why we love you!

Fuck Curt Schilling

Now that he once again didn't get enough votes to go into the Hall of Fame, Schilling’s become the perfect right-wing avatar; he’s able to frame himself as a “victim” of the left-wing media and that's why he’s not in the HOF, when the reality is he’s not a HOF player anyway. Beautifully scripted. Unlike his stupid video game that almost ruined Rhode Island, of course.

Hey, Curt Schilling's Still a Fucking Idiot

My old BFF Curt Schilling is at it again, outraged that somebody or other said something suggesting that maybe every single one of the troops aren't military geniuses, or maybe he suggested a gingerbread cookie recipe, who knows since with Curt you get the same response, and of course he invokes you-know-who:

His response is one of such callousness it’s unthinkable. Talk to a veteran of any war, Senator McCain is a great example. The last thing they want to do is send troops into battle, understanding the massive sacrifice that is asking.

Curt, if you wanna have ANY credibility when saying something like that, you MIGHT wanna bring up ANYBODY ELSE ON THE PLANET; McCain of course being someone who wants to go to war with anyone he can find in his large-print Almanac. For fuck's sake, this is the guy that heard about The Colonel and wanted to invade Kentucky. "We're all chicken parts now." Curt, you're dumb enough to begin with, you don't need to pile on yourself like this.

Ah, Good Ol' Dumbass

In a move that's is surprising for the nanosecond it takes to remember "oh that's right, Curt Schilling is a fucking blithering idiot," Curt Schilling is "pissed!" that the military gave Bin Laden a respectful burial at sea instead of taking him to the Green Monster and letting Chowderheads dump Coors Lite all over his body, since, you know, it's like calling Hitler a Christian.

 

Curt Schilling is Awesome

Ah, my old friend Curt "I'm a Dumbass!!" Curt Schilling is on top of the Brit Hume fiasco:

Flame away, but read this first.
Rant and rave, scream, bitch and moan, but when you realize it’s all true don’t yell at me.
Oh and all you Ann haters, just remember that when she stoops to Bill Maher’s level and debates, she does so with facts, while he does so, as do most of the folks that hate her, with humor, stupid stories or BS.

First of all, Curt...really? It's one thing to link to Ann Coulter and say hey, I agree with what she says, but it's another thing altogether to act as if someone who thinks that the Middle East should be slaughtered into Christianity deserves a "BAM! there it is, NAILED IT!!!" belief that she has "facts" on her side.

Unfortunately for me, I only have one Marley to point out my bullshit and try to slap me around on this blog; turns out when Curt tries to post his bullshit, his own readers really let him have it. Out of the maybe 40 comments, 36 ripped him to shreds, and these are a few of my favorite moments:

Wow, just when you took a bit of a break from being a moron, you’re back with a vengeance.

The more you post non baseball opinions the more I realize how clueless you really are.

Curt, for goodness’ sake, please get a job as a baseball analyst somewhere so we can actually get good information from you. Ann Coulter? Seriously??

Thanks Curt – you just made it easy for me to decide to stop following your blog.

Everyone’s entitled to an opinion. Mine is that not only is Coulter an idiot, so is Brit Hume.

Curt, I’d address your own stupidity before I questioned others. Get an education. You embarrass yourself every time you post. Congratulations for making yourself the 25th most likable person on the 2004 team. Keep slinging a baseball around like and telling others how to live. Fool.

Curt, Ya know, I’ve had this blog on my feed reader for a while now. Even though I’ve never agreed with anything non-baseball you’ve ever talked about, I have respected your baseball career and I have enjoyed the occasional post here on the topic. Also I sometimes like to hear from the other side of the political debate. Just so I know what y’all are thinking. But I’m deleting it off my feed reader now. You, Brit Hume and Ann Coulter seem to be saying that your religion is better than anyone else’s religion and it’s not just liberals that have a problem with that. Ann Coulter is the least “Christian” person I can think of. Maybe she thinks all of her hatred and demagoguery can easily be forgiven because of her “faith”. I’m betting on otherwise. So take care. I’m outta here.

Blogger HL Mencken [sic] mentioned the time when Coulter said that “Jews need to be perfected.” Curt, would you have run that little nugget of “truth” by Sox owner Tom Werner when you were still with the team?

Curt; You live so close to Walden Pond. Why not grab some Emerson and start reading. In fact involve your whole family. Your children should understand how close they live to one of America’s great thinkers. Then tell us how you feel about A.C.

Stop giving us Christians a bad name!!!”

Curt, Coulter manufactures “facts” that suit her ad hominem attacks. Coulter is to politics what Limbaugh is to ballet…stick to baseball…you suck as a political pundit. Being from Alaska, Palin must set your heart on fire also…what do you see from your house…a library?? Go visit.

Then we’ll get into a discussion about facts and not about a super-human who was born of a virgin, nailed to a cross, died, magically came back to life, magically resurrected a friend, climbed a mountain after being dead for 3 days and then ascended into a magical post-life. Yeah, Curt…let’s talk about facts…you lunatic.

Curt Schilling Is Still a Stupid Fucking Idiot

With apologies to people who have slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development as characterized by mental retardation, over the years I've blasted Curt Schilling for being a fucking retard (see full Curt idiocy HERE.)  And today, ESPN has booted him from the Little League World Series for posting this dumb shit on Facebook:

Of course based on this list of dumb shit he's posted over the years, does this even rank among his Top 5? Wow.

When Sarah Palin Decides to Chime In With Her Thoughts On the ESPN Curt Schilling Suspension

GodIHateYourStupidPeople

Right on schedule, dumbasses are using "look, it snowed today!!!" to claim global warming doesn't exist. Not realizing, of course, that these huge storms are BECAUSE OF global warming.

Also, as the article points out, this was the warmest year on record for the planet. But people cannot read apparently, as it's called "global" warming, not "wherever I happen to be standing at this moment" warming.

Hey, let's see what Curt Schilling has to say about it....

Question du Jour

Anyone else surprised Curt Schilling didn't try to capitalize on that stupid bloody sock last week?

"You Didn't Build That"

Nobody likes to admit out loud "part of my success is due to economic and social conditions cemented long before I was even born"; we must be made to believe that Successful Person X was left to die in a dumpster, then pulled himself up by his own bootstraps and became a real rags to riches story.  Nobody's happy simply to have been given the keys to the kingdom, they also hafta portray themselves as "victims." - XMASTIME

Turns out hey guess what, who get's a shitload of charity? Mega-rich corporations. Of course.

Consider Charles and David Koch. Their company, Koch Industries, has relied on $88 million worth of government handouts. Yet, as the major financiers of the anti-government right, the Kochs are still billed as libertarian free-market activists.

All of these handouts, of course, would be derided if they were going to poor people. But because they are going to extremely wealthy politically connected conglomerates, they are typically promoted with cheery euphemisms like “incentives” or “economic development.” Those euphemisms persist even though many subsidies do not end up actually creating jobs.

And oh, let's not forget my old buddy Curt Schilling!!!!

And not to be forgotten is 38 Studios, the now bankrupt software firm that received $75 million in Rhode Island taxpayer cash. The company received the handout at the very moment Rhode Island was pleading “poverty” to justify cuts to public workers’ retirement benefits.
