OOPS FROM CNN [K. J. Lopez] A close watcher catches a CNN blooper: At 8 am, Jane Arraf reports a "nightmare" situation at school polling station in Baquba, Sunni area. No Iraqi election commission workers had shown up. But, at 9:15, viewers learn Arraf had just shown up at the wrong school, which was not a polling site. The real polling site was actually open. At 9:30, Arraf reports that she is "now at 'another' polling site. No mea culpa/recognition of previous mistake. Her new polling station is crowded and jubilant. Posted at 02:58 PM

Nobody watches CNN anyway. Maybe Ted Turner will compare whoever wins the Iraqi election to Hitler.

Well, there's certainly no reason for the Corner to set up a comment board when we do it for them. I hope they contribute something here!

A little further down there's a great comment by Michael Novak:

These are the days that try men's souls, if they are men and women of the left. When their own sense of what has been going on is shattered. When the vision of the hated conservatives comes to life in reality, and its birth seems to send joy through conservative ranks. At such times, the hive of the left often falls silent. Everyone seems to wait for a big bee to teach them the new buzz. Listen in the silence! The queen bee will stir. The buzz will grow soon.

The secret compass of the left used to give off a clear signal, even when puzzling events suddenly clouded the sky. One had only to discern whether new events empowered a new and larger collective (the state, the UN), in which case that was the side to cheer. If the individual was weakened, if the United States was weakened, and if the collective powers were strenghthened, that was guidance enough.

The fall of socialism has destroyed that guidance system. What to do? Whom to cheer? What to reject?...It takes longer these days for the hive to regain its voice and sense of direction...these days, the identity of the big bee is no longer so certain.

There are many lost souls on the left.

CNN has been misreporting from Iraq for years. They purposely withheld stories of torture by the Hussein regime in order to keep in good graces with them.

And check out this post a few paragraphs down. It's unbelievable... Well, I keep saying that it is "unbelievable," but each time I do the traitors and American haters on the left prove me wrong.

PRAYING FOR THE WORST [K. J. Lopez]
More DU:
"And as John Nichols in The Nation and Robert Fisk write, this "election" is not going to have the results Bush and his warmongering cronies want it to have."

We can only pray that's true. For the sake of peace, this sham can't be seen as a success"

There are no words except these: I hope each of these DU morons might experience the terror and torture the Iraqis endured, so that each can "understand"...
