Swiftalysis 1.0 Now Available!


Dear Dr. Bones,

This one is so much fun that Paddy and Eye were almost, but not in the end quite, ready to pester the nobility and gentry with it as a from-scratch McPost.  I assume we'll be able to hang it on somewhere without being egregiously off-topic.

The goodvolks who brought you swiftboating

(( fold here ))

have now gone on to invent or discover Swiftalysis (Pat. Pend.), which works like this:

The Associated Press review of campaign finances looked only at the three months reported in the first quarter of 2012, which may well under report the total percentage of out of state contributions made to the Warren campaign. Breitbart News undertook an analysis of all itemized contributions from individuals (those in excess of $200) reported by the Warren campaign in the three quarterly reports it has filed from its inception until the end of March 31, 2012 – the end of the first quarter of 2012. Out of 11,505 such itemized contributions during this period, we sampled 397. Our methodology was simple. We looked at all those itemized contributors whose last name began with A. Of these 397, a total of 254, or 64%, were from outside of the state of Massachusetts, while only 143, or 36% were residents of Massachusetts.

Additional mathematical analysis of Ms. Warren’s first quarter 2012 Federal Election Commission report suggests that, though she received a total of 30,000 donations from residents of Massachusetts during this period, she likely received an additional 40,000 donations from those who lived outside of Massachusetts.
There is more where that came from, notably (A) a convenient, though in principle only temporary, explanation of why there happens to be nothing to methodologize against Senator Fratboy, and (B), in the last paragraph, a fine specimen of the output from Comrade Bernstein of the Phoenix’s "right-wing slime machine."

(( "It is the dawning of the Age of Breitbartius, Age-of-Brightbartius, ¡Bright-BAAAAR-Tee-Yuss! ))




We did not make anything of the Bernstein scribble itself, but it may be worth mentiioning that it contains a snapshot



of the BoZo Skipper, eponym of all lysdexic eno-conservatives.

Moreover, the author of the above specimen is Michael Patrick, Freelord of Leahy, who also gets a mug shot chez Bernstein.

Happy days.
