HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Dick Armey had no idea he was speaking to the left-wing Media Matters organization during an interview last week, he told The Daily Caller Tuesday. Instead, Armey thought he was chatting with the conservative Media Research Center.
This bit of "Media This, Media That, yeah, sure, whatever" confusion led him to dish dirt on his former colleages at Freedom Works to Media Matters blogger Joe Strupp. (I wonder what he was thinking when Armey called, and it sank in that it was the one and only -- thank goodness -- Dick Armey and not some practical joker.)
I also would have liked to be there when Armey found out about his goof, perhaps from an outraged call or e-mail expressing opinions such as these:
Over the weekend, conservative reaction to Armey's decision to "dish" to Media Matters about his tumultuous exit from FreedomWorks ranged from befuddled to furious.
"If Dick Armey is going to go to Media Matters, he's willing to burn down the movement over his vendetta," Red State blogger Erick Erickson wrote on Twitter.
"This is disgraceful," Jim Hoft wrote on his blog, The Gateway Pundit. "The former FreedomWorks chairman did not approve of the way the conservative group was working with Glenn Beck to push conservative causes. So, he went to the most sinister far left outlet on the planet to rip on FreedomWorks. He must have lost his mind."
Don't you just love these corn-popping moments?
