As Twitchy reported yesterday, Hurricane Sandy has spawned a flood of fake disaster photos. And tonight, smarter-than-you race-baiting 9/11 truther and MSNBC contributor Touré fell for one of them. Hard.
The mockage was swift and glorious:

@Toure You honestly believe that's real? LOL No wonder you're invited to appear on @MSNBC so often.

Yes, most incredible. And clever, but not believable. For starters, the lights are on … RT @Toure: http://t.co/Fz97wVNS

You're an idiot RT @Toure This is the most incredible Sandy pic I've seen yet. A scuba diver in the subway. http://t.co/HXzx8NkF

@Toure Wow yeah here's another 'incredible Sandy pic', you gullible halfwit: http://t.co/xjFJO4Hi

Praise. Jeebus.
Just FYI: @Toure's standard operating procedure is to pretend he was joking.

Lo and behold, Touré tried to cover his tracks:
https://twitter.com/Toure/status/263464172883431428
Neither is Touré. About anything. But the backpedaling came too late; the damage was done.
Told ya. He was "kidding" RT @Toure: Ok, the subway scuba pic is fake. That's why it's incredible. Cuz it's not credible.

Rut-roh … somebody’s cranky!

He got “dissed” because he matters? That’s one way to look at it. Unfortunately for him, it’s the wrong way. Touré got dissed because his prized pair of smartypants is full of holes.
We hope he enjoys the “conpliment.”
you just did, dingleberry MT @Toure: Getting dissed by @michellemalkin means you matter. I never diss her because she doesn't.
— PolitiCajun (@PolitiCajun) October 31, 2012
@TwitchyTeam @toure didn't he "dis", ergo compliment @michellemalkin with that tweet?

To be fair, coherence was never Touré’s strong suit. He is a 9/11 truther, after all.
@Toure Getting dissed by @michellemalkin doesn't mean you matter it means you were incredibly stupid to think that SCUBA diver was real
— T. Jones (@coelkhntr) October 31, 2012
@Toure Getting dissed by @michellemalkin means you so stupid that people noticed. As far as my daily entertainment, though, you matter, bro
— Frederick (@jmotivator) October 31, 2012
@Toure Pretty much you got dissed by everybody that doesn't open emails from Nigeria.

Heh.

Update:
Touré’s delusion has reached new heights: he is now convinced that Twitchy CEO Michelle Malkin is in love with him. No, really:

Oh. Dear. Lord.

@Toure @michellemalkin Don't flatter yourself. She despises you as much as millions of other Americans do.
— John Stevens (@John4Stevens) October 31, 2012
But the entertainment value is through the roof. Don’t stop now, Touré. We’re having way too much fun.
