(At Free Republic, FReeper “RansomOttawa” overdosed on irony, challenging Taubman, “What are you going to do about it? Rescind his [Bush’s] Pulitzer Prize?”)

Thanks for the pings, folks. I made a goofy remark off the cuff; it's good to see TooGood got some mileage out of it.

It may have been off the cuff, but it was classic.

Read this Newsmax article about how the brass found people to sit with the Hildebeast.

I don't know if anyone's done it yet, but you should start a thread with that story and that photo! That is very, very, funny.

Those poor enlisted men and women should have gotten hardship pay to sit with the Hildebeast.

I have a feeling that Captain sitting to her left requested that seat. Just a gut feeling.

LOL -- she does have that look, doesn't she?!

"Journalism" worldwide is effin' pathetic.

I've noticed that for the past 10-15 years, you could ID a lefty "media critic," because he would complain about "corporatization" and "MBAs running the newsroom," but say nothing about the Stalinism that is the real problem. (I didn't notice at the time, only in retrospect. I have books from the time. Note, too, the "discovery" that the news is a business, along with the fairy tale that it didn't used to be that way. The truth is, that by and large, newspapers were more profitable 80 years ago, than they are today. In New York, at least.)

Now, the lefties (e.g., Eric Alterman) have graduated to claiming that the media is dominated by "conservative" bias. The truth is, that without their token conservative pundits, many rags would have gone under years ago. Meanwhile, circulation keeps going down for the big socialist rags, but the leftists refuse to get the message. Of course, these are the same characters who insist that only a racist would say that the Jayson Blair case had anything to do with race! I kid you not.

Excellent column. BTW, Frank Bruni's book on President Bush is pretty good.

[mrustow]

Thanks for the tip -- I'll look for it.

Hmmm...

Howie says that journalists can be trusted to keep the secret, an "expert" on journalists fault them for not leaking.

Does the NYTimes wish the President dead? Not in so many words...but it's a chance they are willing to take.

We poor rubes here in flyover country understand and support the President. As for the Times? To quote another rube...Stupid is as stupid does.

My 4 year old grandson saw that picture in the Friday paper and said, "I like man, Pawpaw."

What a sweetie! And a good judge of character. I wonder what he'd say if you showed him a picture of Hillary--nevermind--I wouldn't want to make him cry.

[international american]

No, we just wish the NY Times was dead....

[Mudboy Slim]

Very instructive, Eala...MUD

Bumpbackatcha -- BTW, like that tag!

Not me. Not anymore, anyway. There was a time when I would agree with you. But with the House on 43rd Street besieged by constant scandals of its own making, and a steadily decreasing readership, the continued existence of an unrepentant NYT is the best argument for people and candidates fighting the racial socialist dictatorship. All they have to do is point at the Times, and say, "Is that the America you want to support? Does THAT look like America?

[mrustow]

Does the New York Times Wish the President Dead?

Yes!

They would also wish everyone who voted for President Bush dead too.

My theory -- call it the New York version, is that they want all Bush-voters alive, but blacklisted from all work, so that they end up dying on the street, in homeless shelters, or in jail.

[mrustow]

Toogood Reports really are! Excellent.

The folks there will happy to hear that from you. They can always use a pat on the back.

It isn't just the President's life that would have been in danger if the trip had been announced. It would have been the troops on the ground trying to eat their Thanksgiving dinner. I think it is obvious it would've been a disaster. The jihadis would have had an enormous incentive to attack with great numbers all gatherings of troops everywhere in Iraq in the hopes of killing the President.

Which would have led to the Times and Corporal Clark pointing out how the bloodshed was all the fruits of a tainted policy, and demanding that we immediately hand the country over to "the people" (read: Saddam), and get out.
