Blogger Dave Burris Confirms Relevance of Blogger Mike Matthews

In what is turning into a battle royale in the Delaware political blogosphere, Delaware Politics blogger Dave Burris has confirmed that Down with Absolutes! blogger Mike Matthews has regained his relevance. After threatening Matthews with a subpoena should he not give up the name of a source from whom he received a photograph of a haggard-looking Bill Lee, Burris has re-energized Matthews’ readers and shot his site’s hits and unique visitors through the roof.

“Most people have been pissed at me these past few months because I’ve been unable to maintain the site,” said Matthews, sitting at his desk in his mother’s den. “I was working two jobs totaling nearly 80 hours a week and the blog definitely had to take a backseat.”

Matthews, who just came off a five-month stint in a long-term teaching position, says the controversy couldn’t have come at a better time.

“My last day was Friday and this thing blew up yesterday,” Matthews says in regards to his receipt of an email by Burris demanding the name of his source. “Though I still work the part-time job flipping burgers and scraping shit off of bathroom stalls, I’m now able to reclaim the relevance Dave Burris has afforded me.”

Matthews says the past few months have seen his site stall at around 600 hits on most days, with barely half of those hits from unique visitors. The past two days, though, have seen his hits reach nearly 4000 and his unique visitors hit more than 1400.

“This is huge,” said Matthews. “I’ve been irrelevant for the past five months and this action by Dave Burris seems to have launched me into the stratosphere once again.” Matthews says the controversy has also helped his social life. “I’ve had Cingular for nearly two years and never once have I gone over. Well, except for that time in Ireland. But my shit’s been ringing off the hook so much I may have to dip into my rollover this month!”

Matthews says he’s ready to reclaim his title as Delaware’s Most Awesomest Blogger and will soon challenge Dave Burris’ ass to a hot dog eating contest.

“Two big guys towering above six-feet,” said Matthews. “This is how we should really settle the score. Just don’t show up in your expensive suit and well-coiffed hair, Davey boy!”

To which Dave Burris replied, “Bring it, bitch,” said Matthews.

All inquiries should be directed to either the Delaware GOP, the Campaign to Elect Bill Lee Governor, or the Delaware Taxpayer Coalition.

    funny as hell! Burris is a limp dick rich boy.

  2. Dominique says:

    you’ve really outdone yourself. kudos, mr matthews. this should be an interesting summer.

  3. Disbelief says:

    Don’t mean to be disloyal, but if Burris can get as much crap in his mouth as comes out of it, my money’s on him in a hot dog eating contest.

  4. Pandora says:

    I find myself a captive audience.

  5. Joe M says:

    Well done, Mike!

  6. FSP says:

    And to think there were people who thought your actions were for something noble like ethics or integrity.

    Nope, I told them. He just wants attention, lots and lots of attention.

  7. Disbelief says:

    Who doesn’t?

  8. anon mommy says:

    Dave get over yourself, and go take care of your business,

    or your kids,

    or whatever you claimed takes so much of you time.

    As much time as you spend in front of your computer, your wife must be a lonely, deprived woman. I truely pity her and your children.

  9. Mike Matthews says:

    Umm, Dave, buddy. You started the whole brouhaha. I’m just mining the comic gold.

  10. FSP says:

    “As much time as you spend in front of your computer, your wife must be a lonely, deprived woman. I truely pity her and your children.”

    The exact kind of comment one should expect here in Romper Room. Your mother should be proud.

  11. anon mommy says:

    and your mother should be ashamed…..

  12. FSP says:

    “Umm, Dave, buddy. You started the whole brouhaha. I’m just mining the comic gold.”

    No, Mike. I sent you an email. You sent out the plea for attention.

  13. FSP says:

    “and your mother should be ashamed…”

    I’ll be sure to pass that on for you.

  14. Mike Matthews says:

    Dave,

    New game. Mutual Assured Destruction. Your offense was my triple defense. Come at me with threats and don’t expect me to back down. These are rules you’ve perfected, so don’t be pissed when they’re used against you.

    You started it and I’m following through. Nothing wrong with that, now is there?

  15. anonymous says:

    Dave, the sticker that Lee is wearing in the photo for Claire Walsh. You live close to Dewey, is she a democrat? Just wondering.

  16. Disbelief says:

    Ah! There’s the rub!!! Its a picture of Lee supporting a Dem? Is that what anonymous is saying? No wonder Dave was upset.

  17. amie says:

    Mike, you’ve never lost your relevance.

    or your touch, apparently…

  18. RickJ19958 says:

    I’m unaware of Claire Walsh’s registration. Like most municipal elections, the candidates don’t list affliation.

  19. Disbelief says:

    Rick, it ain’t what she says or doesn’t say, its what she is. Is your coyness acknowledgment that she’s a Dem?

  20. Liz allen says:

    Mike: lol….I heard you ask the Judge the question and I knew the right wing Jenson was gonna cut you off…you know he actually believes “he is helping the GOP”…helping the GOP to what disingrate completely!

    Tra la la, tra la la la! You did good today.

  21. kft says:

    Jenson is just so lost on the air. Its pure pain to turn on WDEL Rick Jenson is a tool.
    Jenson will have his face up the GOPs and Bill Lee’s ass even more now.Rick has to, noboady wants to go on that show of his.

  22. Kilroy says:

    See Kilroy’s tribute to Judge Mike Lee Matthews

    Mike I am glad you were set free!

  23. Dana Garrett says:

    “Your offense was my triple defense. Come at me with threats and don’t expect me to back down. These are rules you’ve perfected, so don’t be pissed when they’re used against you.

    You started it and I’m following through. Nothing wrong with that, now is there?”

    Now haven’t I been saying the same thing. I hit back harder. And, Mike, you thought I was over the top.

    Never let the bullies get their way.

  24. Susan says:

    Well done Mike!
    Sheesh! I go away for a year and look at the tempest you stir up. Can’t leave you unsupervised at all, can I?
    Again, well done.
    And I know YOUR mother will be proud, Mike :)

  25. James says:

    Even super-journalist Dave Burris would tell you to end your story with -30- not -END-.

  26. required says:

    yes, the -30- is more appropriate and you will need an additional quote from an ‘expert in the field’ to legitimize the account. maybe someone like dan gaffney

  27. Mike Matthews says:

    Actually, both -30- and -END- are appropriate. Again, a little trick I learned by going to the not-#1-journalism-school in the country.

  28. david anderson says:

    Mike, you are being silly again not relevant. Enjoy the attention.

  29. Mike Matthews says:

    Whatever floats your boat, Mr. Anderson. Keep drinking that right-wing Kool-Aid.

  30. Nancy Willing says:

    Now haven’t I been saying the same thing. I hit back harder. And, Mike, you thought I was over the top.

    Never let the bullies get their way.

    *
    Dana. Stop gloating.
    What you have done to Dave and to myself was bullying to the max.
    You are not some paragon of virtue here in the least. Not that it is the least bit unexpected for your cheesy ass to have latched onto it with all of your lameness in tow.

  31. Observer says:

    Can we get the bookies involved in the hot dog eating contest? Or can we get the general assembly to pass the sports betting bill so we can bet on this contest legally?

  32. Disbelief says:

    Observer, I like Matthews but I’d have to go with Burris even at 2-to-1 against in a hot dog eating contest.
