In the LA Times, no less??????
Sorry if someone else has already posted this.
Sorry if someone else has already posted this.
not me, if it has been posted it is worth seeing a second time. IMHO an article should be allowed to be reposted after 12 hours.
Or the whole lot of them would be "frog-marched" to the pokey.
It is sort of startling, isn't it? I particularly like their close:
"So much for the lies that led to war. What we're left with is the lies that led to the antiwar movement. Good thing for Wilson and his pals that deceiving the press and the public isn't a crime."
Yeah...wazzup with that?
Rare that the LAT isn't following the lib script contributing to the liberal bizarro parallel universe.
My goodness. This, from the LA Times? I may reconsider my lowly opinion of the MSM.
Max Boot http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-columnist-mboot,0,4938445.columnist?coll=la-nav-sectionfronts is one of the few (maybe the only?) conservative columnists the LA Times runs on a regular basis in its Opinion section. Boot is so good he balances out the horrible Robert Scheer http://www.robertscheer.com/.
Is Max Boot about to be fired for his blasphemy?
Max Boot is an articulate communicator. Good article.
You have to remember that Max Boot is the LA Times token conservative columnist. He is a weekly columnist. In real life he's Olin Senior Fellow in National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. He is also a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard. The LA Times has to have a least one conservative who appears regularly to overcome all the other columnist (both those on staff and those who write contributing columns like Max Boot.) With the LA Times you have to remember the conservative to liberal column factor is something like 10-15 to 1.
This is the easy thing to write. I'll be surprised if the Times pursues any stories on: 1) Who's paying Joe Wilson? 2) Who DID leak Plame? 3) Who signed off on Wilson to Niger and why? 4) What's the connection between Wilson and fake French documents? etc. etc.
Is this coming from the op-ed page staff, or is this a guest columnist? Either way, I can't believe they actually printed it.
Are you SURE this is from the LA Times?????
Yep, it's from the LA Times, all right.
Wonder of wonders...
"Joseph C. Wilson IV has retailed more whoppers than Burger King" Bump.
Even if Bob Novak had not mentioned her name, what's the likelihood that Mrs. Joe Wilson IV Number 3 would ever be involved in covert work overseas again, say if she accompanied her husband to a new assignment to another obscure Francophone country? Her CIA status had already been revealed by Aldrich Ames to the KGB, and by CIA carelessness Castro also knew, but wouldn't an ambassador's wife be treated with suspicion as a potential CIA agent anyay? ...certainly not like a non-political businessperson.
