BuzzMachine, in a Drudgelinked entry, provides a textbook example of an often misdiagnosed medical affliction: Retardocephalic Bloggopia:

On a clip from a Dateline interview just shown on Today, Matt Lauer confronted Michael Moore about why he did not release images of abuse of prisoners that he had long before the photos from Abu Ghraib came out. […] [Moore] said he would have been accused of pulling a publicity stunt for his movie. […] It's crap. If he really cared about the Iraqi people, Moore would have done something. But he didn't. He cares about his box office.

First, you can't blame Matt Lauer on this one. He relinquished his right to ask pertinent questions when he sold his Heineken-soaked yuppie soul to Satan. But Jeff Jarvis? Is there such a thing as a teething pacifier – but for fingers? Whenever anyone comes forward with nasty bits of damning data (pubic hairs on Coke cans, Presidential sexual liaisons, accusations of rape, stories of genocide), there's always some dickhead in the cheap seats who narrows their beady little eyes and hisses, "Why didn't you come forward sooner!?" But let's be charitable. Maybe ol' Jeff Jarvis has a point here. Maybe there are times when it is appropriate to "shoot the messenger", as it were. Like when the messenger is suffering from a debilitating case of Retardocephalic Bloggopia.
