The New York Times was left out of the loop.

[vladog]

I wish the NY Times would just go away. Sadly like Fat Willy & The Thing they will just go on and on and on and.................................

[Pharmboy]

And, IIRC, didn't the Times publish an absoeffinlutely insane editorial a day or two afetr 9-11 yelling at Bush for flying around in AF1 and not letting them know where he was?

There were also cries from the left that Bush did not meet with the people of Baghdad (showing cowardice?). Had the word gotten out that he was at the airport, is there any doubt that the bad guys would have initiated an impromptu, all out, get him at any cost, attack with any weapons available effort? Even if it did not get Bush, can you imagine the number of innocent lives that would have been lost. The need for secrecy was to save more than just Bush's life.

[Mo1]

I’d be willing to bet, however, that most Americans think the President is a pretty clever fellow, and that the people at the Times are the boobs.

You got that right!

[aculeus]

This asinine unfunny cartoon is reproduced in today's Times.

Note the sullen troops and compare with the reality we all saw.

[McGavin999]

One day, the elder Sulzberger asked his son what Pinch calls, 'the dumbest question I've ever heard in my life.' If an American soldier runs into a North Vietnamese soldier, which would you like to see get shot? Young Arthur answered, 'I would want to see the American get shot. It's the other guy's country.'”

Sulzberger should have disinherited the kid that day. The fact that he didn't tells me all I need to know about the old man.

Does the New York Times Wish the President Dead?

Seems pretty clear that the answer is "Yes."

[Lando Lincoln]

The media just doesn't get it. Had the word been leaked and the mission aborted, the media would have mocked Bush. Had Bush's plane been shot down, they would have had all kinds of post-mortem criticism for the "cowboy". In any outcome, he gets criticized. God they infuriate me.

I loved Stein's book. It is every bit as good a some bigger sellers.

Thanks for the reference, alfa6 - hope you get some rest.

the nation’s most influential newspaper ....

Excuse me. This must have been written wrong.

"...at one time, the nation's most influential newspaper..."

[Bullish]

Paybacks a bitch, huh?

Maybe Bush just didn't really feel like taking scumbag liars from the NY Times along. I know I wouldn't, and I bet they all had a much better time without 'em.

Besides, they have lost most of their credibility anyway. Lying and being wrong all the time will do that to you.

It's a pleasure to watch Bush kicking the gonads out of the faggots at the Times. They've sure got it coming to 'em.

[Redbob]

"Any one of those (NYTimes) staffers (in Baghdad) might have willfully compromised the President’s security, or inadvertently done so, by heading to the airport, with assassins on his tail."

Wouldn't surprise me a bit to learn the Times staffers in Baghdad ARE the terrorists!

[#3Fan]

Only five reporters were permitted to accompany the president on Air Force One, none of whom works for the Times. They were Fox’s Jim Angle, Steve Holland of Reuters, Richard Keil of Bloomberg Business News, Terence Hunt of the Associated Press, the Washington Post’s Mike Allen,...

Why did Holland, Keil, Hunt, and Allen have to go? :^)

[Libertina]

Excellent article!

[Libloather]

But what do I know?

Nothing.

[NewLand]

'I would want to see the American get shot. It's the other guy's country.'”

I wonder if he feels the same way about illegal immigrants here?

[bootless]

Excellent column. Am forwarding it to whatever media I can get it to.

I loved Harry Stein's book, and have recommended it to several "newly born" conservatives.

[cookcounty]

Sometimes it's hard to know if Pinch'n'Pals really hate America that much, or if they're just incredibly stupid.

I will never again be able to see anything coming from Philip Taubman without thinking "I wonder what Mr. Numbnuts has to say."

[Gritty]

PRAVDA-on-the-Hudson is stuck in a time warp.

They fantasize they are still the "newspaper of record" rather than the "newspaper of obvious fabrications".
