Jesse Griffin Explained

By
August 5, 2009

Like a pathological personality that keeps on giving because they suffer from obsessive birthday disease, Jesse Griffin provided us much rich fodder for speculation yesterday with his strange twists and turns. What happened is detailed here. Below is a scenario that fits all events on the ground perfectly. If true, Griffin was dismissed from his school yesterday due to my revelations post.

Does he have a personality so weak he can't afford to lose face under any circumstances, going to any length to try to prevent it? He does pump himself up at a gym to try and make himself seem "big and strong". And he prefers the company of children, where he can also feel big, strong and in control, as opposed to inadequate as normal adults might make him feel.

Yesterday he told me he has been gone from the school since last year. But I caught him acting as though he were still there for the commenters on his blog. That would be two lies to cover up his embarrassment, something he's too weak personality-wise to afford.

Then I called him out in email when I caught him at it, so he made up yet another even more bizarre lie to cover his tracks, saying he would tell his blog readers today. Now his picture has suddenly disappeared from the school's website.

Here's a very plausible explanation for all that. It begins with him being told never to come back and shown the exit door at the school.

He told me one thing to hide it and put off dealing with his readers by pretending nothing happened as they are so easy to fool. After all, they're use to swallowing his lies both big, as regards Palin, and small, as regards him.

But he got caught. So he told another even more unbelievable lie to cover up the earlier ones. While perhaps impossible to know the real Jesse Griffin via the Internet, it is one scenario that explains both him and yesterday's events. It would make him a weak deceptive man of 49 incapable of being honest, or acting like an adult. As I've speculated before, a very sick pup desperate for credibility but unable to even believe in himself.

Lest you think I'm being mean by unmasking such a potential charade, when he gravitates obsessively toward children, Jesse Griffin might just deserve far worse. Early on, Stacy consulted a national expert in a pertinent field, simply providing them with Griffin's own words, the feedback concerned us so much, it's part of why we paused in our postings a few days ago to consult other authorities before going on. If he's been dismissed from his school, we've so much content held back on him, at least Jesse might get to enjoy playing on our playground for awhile. I hope he's having some fun.

Along with my newer post linked above, Stacy offers up two efforts today: a look at Gryphen in his own words; and when you catch a liar lying.

This is all speculation, of course. But then, so are Jesse Griffin's alleged news reports on Sarah Palin. No harm in experimenting with his form of journalism for a change, right? It isn't like he has any grounds to complain.

    OH Jesse, come out and play.

  2. jakee308 says:

    anyone else think maybe Zaki’s got a real heavy flop-sweat going about now?

  3. jakee308 says:

    You take the liar up, you take the liar in
    You pick the liar up and you shake him all about.
    You make the liar dopey and you turn him upside down
    That’s what it’s all about.

  4. Kent18 says:

    You and Stacy have both performed ably and genuinely in the service of the public good, Dan. Bravo! ;)

  5. lovedinthekeys says:

    Dan: Great job! I made the mistake of following your link over to his site (big mistake, I forgot that going there actually would give him higher counts and maybe encourage him, plus, they are terribly creepy-sounding people), the comments posted by his supporters are amazing! Full of hate; talk of “tea baggers” (don’t you love it?); more Palin crap; and he is acting like the “hero” in his little life play.

  6. jakee308 says:

    ECW SMACKDOWN!
    Up coming Tag team match:
    Dan “The Man” Riehl and RS “Inkstain” McCain vs
    Dennis “Flop Sweat” Zaki and Jesse “The Gryphen” Griffin
    Update: This match has been cancelled due to Zaki and Griffin having misstated their match records and not having their Mommy’s permission.

  7. Roscoe says:

    I wouldn’t assume he has been fired. If Alaska is like California then it can be almost impossible to fire a teacher. Assistants I don’t know about. They could, however, transfer a “problem” to another school in order to hide him from the “madding crowd” so to speak. If I did this, I’d make sure he didn’t show up on any web sites for at least a couple of weeks. It would be nice to have a “source” at this point………..

  8. Charlotte says:

    Hey, Jesse: Please stop lying. How hard is that? Stop making stuff up on your blog.
    I mean, really, this guy is apparently a congenital liar. And then he talks so much about “protecting the children.” I have often found that people espousing this are, in reality, NOT protecting the children. Just reading the crap he puked up as explanations/answers to questions makes me feel dirty.
    What an idiot.
    Thank you, Dan and Stacy, for acting with class. It is unfortunate that these people do not even know the meaning of the word.

  9. xerocky says:

    Jesse G. is the face of Palin derangement syndrome. If you are someone who hates on Palin outside of her politics, and you don’t know her personally, Jesse G. is you.
    If you think Trig isn’t her son, Jesse G. is you.
    Mary, Slide, Jesse G. is you.

  10. mark l. says:

    but the palin’s divorce rumor is true, right?
    we just have to ‘watch the local papers to learn something’.
    Now I know why slide was in love with this guy. He makes him look a tad less pathological.

  11. LeeL says:

    1. One pissant Alaskan anklebiter has been taken to the woodshed.
    2. Another one is going strong: she meant *IRS* investigation, not FBI – so there. She writes: “Having been a Fed for 15 years, I can PROMISE you that those emails will NOT be ignored…..mainly because it’s no skin off their nose to check into the allegations.” Funny how she never mentions *exactly* what her job duties were with the feds. I was an administrative clerk with a local court for 26 years — does that make me super smart and righteous somehow? I think not.
    3.Rumor is, a few others are regrouping and getting their next posts and complaints typed and ready to go. These bloggers and gadflies will never stop. When they tire of Palin, every other government employee in AK will be their target. They feel too important and empowered to give up what has, I suspect, become an addiction.
    Meanwhile, the Palins are having a pleasant trip to New York. The best revenge is living well.

  12. Ken says:

    Jesse Griffin’s blog attacked RS McCain for being happily married to a Christian woman and having a big family. THIS is what they find unacceptable. Meanwhile the weird creatures who populate his comments–and he only approves supporters, as far as I can tell–are totally cool with him teaching young boys to “be independent” by “sucking cock.”
    It turns out all those Christianist homophobes who called the far Left a bunch of perverts, and said they wanted to rape children, WERE 100% CORRECT.
    THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRULY THE PARTY OF NAMBLA.

  13. greg says:

    I worked for a federal agency for over 30 years, half of which was deciding disability claims. About one quarter of those claims came from the mentally ill. The obsession and fixation that the anti-Palin bloggers exhibit is very similar to what the files of these claimants were filled with. They’d usually fixate on some local personality, newscaster, weathergirl, etc., and send us weekly updates on the evil doings of these people, analyzing what they wore, their every word, and how this person was just down right evil, and was responsible for doing them some sort of harm.

  14. upinak says:

    Roscoe,
    Actually he can’t really be “switched” around in Anchorage and the surrounding areas of Anchorage. Why? It is due in part to the small community base here.
    Even if he left the Anchorage School District and went to the Matsu School District, that would actually make it worse for him as they are a heck of a lot more conservative then Anchorage.
    He really has no where to go…. other then leave State. And most “teachers” who have some type of background do eventually leave because Alaska is so small.

  15. Mike2Cents says:

    As evident by Ken’s post above (and so many others), not much accomplished here other than offering homophobes an opp to work up some spittle.
    (Ken – no idea what your party is, or what it’s the party of…but you, all on your own, are a clown…and a filthy minded one at that.)

  16. Ken says:

    Juju: considering that all the male anti-Palin conspiracy theorists seem to be queer I have to conclude that you are as well.
    BTW, when I say “queer” I don’t mean the bank teller who is always polite but never married and living with another guy. I mean the full “pinkies out” “tee hee I’m such a bad girl” type, who are always bragging about how they are willing to “go to the deep end of the pool” (that was the exact wording of one I knew from my sister), even though they seem too unphysical to have ever gone swimming; who always bring their sex toys into conversations; and who never find any sexual act, including child molestation, that they can condemn, even while they condemn normal activities such as practicing with firearms (which, in anticipation of your rude remarks about gun nuts, are beloved by 75% of the American people).

    juju
    I’m sure they can take in a show and buy some $500 sneakers and $800 handbags while they are there.

  18. Scott says:

    Dan, screw “mean.” Really. The Left has made it clear they are in a war to win, and they use every weapon at their disposal. Even Obama is rallying the troops to attack people who exercise their constitutional right to assemble and let their congressperson know how they expect to vote.
    http://www.redstate.com/jeff_emanuel/2009/08/05/whats-that-about-astroturfing-mr-president/
    People like Griffen are simply weapons in that war. It’s time to take off the gloves and go all out. Nice is nice until they decide to change the playing field. Like juju, for example. Nothing really to say, just personal destruction.
    Like Bill Whittle says:

  19. upinak says:

    juju… please provide where the Fund is illegal? I haven’t heard from the personel board here in Alaska. And since she had nothing to do with it to begin with, and the person who started it went through the State of Alaska Lawyers to make sure everything is legit. I would love to know how you know it is “illegal”.

  20. Franny says:

    juju,
    always a post about Palin’s looks, huh? And the company you choose to keep writes things like this:
    “And your penis will respond more readily if you take it out and put it through its paces more often. Duh! So the next time your girlfriend/wife/mother bust you for watching porn on your computer, simply tell her that you are exercising and you would appreciate some privacy.”
    and this:
    “I am teaching my boys to wear dresses and swish when they walk because being ignorant or drug addicted is no longer a guarantee of being passed over. If your not willing to suck cock then pack up your going to Iraq.”
    and let’s not forget about this: This one you really have to read in between the lines and see what kind of person he is talking to.
    “I do it because it brings me joy to work with these children and I believe, and have been told, that I am very good at it . . .
    “[Y]ou now know my dirty little secret. I am an assistant teacher in a room full of five year old children. . . .”
    The last one is most disturbing- see where he says “dirty little secret” and “room full of 5 year old children”
    VERY VERY DISTURBING!!!!

  21. mark l. says:

    “Its always nice when you can grift off other peoples money…! ”
    michelle obama’s job, the obama’s house, the obama fundraising…
    good to know that rezko wasn’t a ‘grifter’.
    Still trying to imagine the fodder that the left wing blogs could have found if the palin’s purchased their home next to an oil company, on the same day, if todd worked for an oil company for 300k, and more than half of the plain’s fundraising was bundled by an oil company.
    even then, the oil company would have to indicted and convicted, before we could start apporaching an equivalence.

    Nothing for me to say here as they gang has done the job admirably.On to the next thread,,,,,,,,,,,,

  23. Ad rem says:

    Sadly, the “Jujus” and the “Marys” of the world are psychologically in it over their heads. Their personae are so wrapped up in these perverted story lines and lifestyles, they no longer realize the depths to which they have descended. They’ve created their own alternative universe so to speak. These people lead miserable and angst ridden lives, and must constantly be fighting some battle against some perceived enemy or evil. Eventually, the anger will take its toll……it’s never a happy ending.

  24. red says:

    From the excerpts I read at The Other McCain I gather that J. Griffin is a pedophile. Griffin
    s writings creeped me out and I truly hope his exposure to children has been put to a screeching halt.

  25. Josh Painter says:

    If Jesse quit his job “last year” as he claimed in an e-mail, why did he just post on his blog that he was getting paychecks from the school district up until two months ago? That’s right, Now he’s admitting that he “decided” not to return to the teaching job between semesters. Yet he led his readers to believe he was still an active teacher. So there goes the “mean Palin” sending her lawyer to serve papers on Jesse “in front of the traumatized” kindergarden kids.
    The blogger who claims his blog “is dedicated to finding the truth” is sounding more and more like a person who has a serious honesty deficit.
    Oh, BTW, Sarah Palin hasn’t spent a dime of the ATF funds. They are tied up pending a decision on an “ethics” complaint regarding AFT.
    But when have the facts ever stopped a leftist from spreading lies?

  26. upinak says:

    Josh, :)
    You know I like to play with the trolls (BTW that is not the regular juju who is a conservative) and see where they get their information. It always makes the trolls easy to spot when they respond.

  27. Ad rem says:

    Red,
    Nice blog ya got there!

  28. Franny says:

    So he quit 2 months ago and Palin’s attorney is a meanie because he want’s to serve him papers in front of the kids he doesn’t teach? Ok, I got in now. What a creepy liar this Gryphon is turning out to be. I really doubt he quit 2 months ago, try he was not asked to come back 2 days ago.

  29. Sarah says:

    Ken is sick. Sick sick sick. I wish I could un-see his posts.

  30. Smellerbee says:

    I can’t believe there is anyone stupid enough, even in the comments section of a right wing blog, that thinks “teach them to suck cock” was serious and not an off-color joke.
    There goes my faith in humanity.

  31. “I can’t believe there is anyone stupid enough, even in the comments section of a right wing blog, that thinks “teach them to suck cock” was serious and not an off-color joke.”
    For some reason, we don’t have the need to make excuses for your friend Jesse’s ideas of what sort of things to say about his students are appropriate.
    What is particularly stupid is for a kindergarten teacher talking about teaching sexual activities to his students and posting it on the Web. Perhaps that appeals to you, but it does not to the vast majority of the public.

  32. xerocky says:

    “I can’t believe there is anyone stupid enough, even in the comments section of a right wing blog, that thinks “teach them to suck cock” was serious and not an off-color joke.”
    Ok, so it was an off color joke. Perhaps homosexuals, hollyweird, and the left in general need to try a little harder to stay “on color” because I’m not going to pretend to not be offeneded by their sick humor any longer.
