TreacherGate, in case you have not been following the blow-by-blow of the Daily Caller employee (Jim Treacher, real name Sean Medlock) who was viciously assaulted by a State Dept. Security Services SUV, is hotting up tonight. "A second DSS spokeswoman... claimed that 'a jogger collided with one of the U.S. Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service's official vehicles'-as if Medlock, who does not jog, had somehow attacked the SUV." But Tucker Carlson is on the scene.

Poor Jim--what about Sean?
Really, though, what is/was the point of his having a pen name?
This is like, when things get *REAL*.
I HAVE STOPPED BEING POLITE
He's not at the State Department to make friends (with SUVs).
This is a critical story. Who is willing to drive an Escalade into the men's room to get Tucker's exclusive on it?
My favorite part of the coverage is the sidebar entitled "A Brief History of U.S. Security Vehicle Accidents."
THAT'S going deep.
Everyone else is winning the morning, so the Daily Caller is stealing my business plan of trying to win the tail end of tea-time.
Dream big, Choire. Dream big.
Win the Cocktail Hour.
I just love that the cops went to the hospital to GIVE HIM A JAYWALKING TICKET.
I'd be flabbergasted if it didn't precisely coincide with my expectations.
Special Agents Notes: "Ha, we just gave his ass a jaywalking ticket!"
By the way, not talking to the media includes NOT SAYING you can't talk because of "liability" and then telling them where to find out information you won't give them.
That is actually going to be AMAZING when it is recounted in an open court.
I love the headline: "Struck Down: Feds Refuse to Explain How Agent Injured Daily Caller Writer"
I dunno, it seems pretty clear to me that the "how" was "hitting him with an SUV."
Hot Fucking STOVE! But, seriously though, what kind of thing "hots" up?
1. Scandals
2. Walking on the beach without sandals.
3. Earf
4. Clubs
"Jim Treacher" has trolled lefty blog comments for years. He's an asshole and barely coherent.
Well! That indeed is a story for another day. (How's tomorrow?)
Are you trying to crowdsource me? I AM A MAN!
Yes I would like that story, please!
Yeah, seriously - before I even got down to these comments, I was going to say I might get more worked up about this story if he weren't such an asshole. And not just an ordinary asshole. At some point I ran across some of the trolling he did (wasn't even a liberal blog - it was the personal blog of a guy who writes for a lesser-known Comedy Central show). And that led me to his Twitter feed, where he was running off a stream of racist jokes about Michelle Obama. It was so gross.
Here's one place to start. Treacher was one of the lead pitchfork carriers when Letterman made a joke about Palin's daughter and A-Rod. When Roy Edroso made fun of Treacher, he went nuts in Edroso's comments.

Oh. My. http://jimtreacher.com/
Per Jezebel, he's also been calling Rachel Maddow a man, which he apparently considers an insult:

Maybe karma was behind the wheel.
Or maybe the karma ran over his dogma.
Is it possible to now back over him?
I would like to know who paid for his hospital visit. Does Tucker provide good healthcare?
Did Tucker care when a Fox News employee slammed a biker onto the hood of his SUV and took him for a ride through Central Park?
