I love how even in his official resignation, the little weasel doesn't actually acknowledge making the statement.

It is so sad to see a person kill himself. Oh, you didn't mean "from the living, human race," you meant from his job at the sewer.

oh I like Rameesh but he said that is what he was hearing so I wonder who his sources are......it would be great news though if true.......since we have captured Zarqawi about 50 times, I tend to hold judgement until confirmed

Blogisphere - 2, MSM - 0

Not quite: The score is 2-2. We lost Gannon and NCPAC.

We're familiar with the whack-jobs who attack police to attract gunfire - 'suicide by cops' it's called.

I give you Eason Jordan - the first 'suicide by blogs'.
