So this guy’s boss was Baghdad Bob. No wonder the Slimes jumped at a chance to hire him.

One of my great disappointments with Pres. Bush is that he didn’t slap the treasonous msm, especially the nyt, in chains. How do you convince the sheep that the country is at war if the enemy comprise half of your congress and virtually all of your media?

All reporters for the New York Times and much of the rest of the MSM for that matter, must take a blood oath. They make a small incision in their wrist, bleed into an empty bottle of green tea and recite the creed of the left: God damn America, God damn America, God damn America.

Only when they have completed this ritual in the presence of their fellow journalists are they accepted into the fold.

You don't.

Makes you wonder: Would the Times have hired former Nazi officers to cover the three-year insurgency against the American presence in Germany in the late 1940s? Even if they spoke the language, knew the countryside well and said they “never really believed” in that evil ideology?

Judging from their behavior over the last few decades the answer would have to be a resounding, OF COURSE. However, it's possible that the tone of management has changed over the last 60 years at the NY Times.

“... but the exceptions tend to prove the rule. “

FWIW, that's a misuse of that expression. As Spock would say: “it's not logical”.

A good description of the saying's origin is here:

http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-exc1.htm

“The true origin of the phrase lies in a medieval Latin legal principle: exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis, which may be translated as “the exception confirms the rule in the cases not excepted”.”

Unfortunately, this is probably also true:

“Despite the number of reference books which carefully explain the origin and true meaning of the expression, it is unlikely that it will ever be restored to strict correctness. The usual rule in lexicography is that sayings progress towards corruption and decay, never the reverse. Unless this one proves to be an exception ...”

Hehe. No kidding. Not only do they want us to read the dribblings of an ex-officer for Saddam, but they want us to pay for the "privilege"?

Perhaps the news paper of choice for most of the idiots in the Senate and HR, when they try to make points on some issue.
