In the course of doing my very important job of updating the GrodsCorp Righty Groupthink Tracker I have been utterly stumped by Andrew Bolt’s post that links to Tim Blair without linking to him.
I couldn’t possibly comment on some of the stuff on Tim Blair’s blog yesterday, not even with a “hear hear”, and I won’t be running any comments on it, either. I’d better not even link to it for safety’s sake.
I’ve obviously missed something here. Can anyone enlighten me?

Beats me. Scanned Blair and just saw the usual stuff. Maybe there were some gems in the comments threads.

Probably something that Bolt’s got legal advice not to run. Maybe that terror trial?

Ah yes, the legal team which is keeping Bolt safe from the creeping (yet invisible) anti-free speech leftist tyranny.

Yeah it sounds like he agreed with something Blair wrote and this was his way of saying he agreed with it without saying he agreed with it.
It’s like when Mick Malthouse said something like “if I say anything bad about umpires I’ll be in trouble so after today’ match I’m not saying anything”.

I think it is a (rather obvious) message to Mr The Editor and his illustrious ‘Weblog’.
Who else would be able to extract meaning from such a vague and insubstantial comment? Not his readers/fanclub surely?

Sounds like Bolta wants to follow Timbo’s lead by adding a Paypal link for donations, but News Ltd won’t let him.

Yeah, maybe he needs a new laptop.

“Yeah, maybe he needs a new laptop.”
Could be so, but one thing is for certain, he sure aint short of lapdogs.

“I’d better not even link to it for safety’s sake.” A. Bolt
He must have heared the rumour that The Editor, in a typical leftist attack on free speech was going to beat the shit out of Tim and Andy if they linked each other 10 times in a week.
Sure it may be a mad conspiracy theory, but Bolta’s been going for them big time of late.

There’s a first time for everything, I suppose.

You know what this is? It’s The Man shutting down his free speech like he predicted.
