Remember Bobby Caina Calvan, the Sacramento Bee reporter who bragged on his internet blog about antagonizing an American Green Zone border guard?
Meet Armando Acuna, the Public Editor for Calvan’s employer. Here’s how Acuna describes Calvan’s run-in with the American soldier:
“What we’re talking about here is an escalating, ahem, urination competition between two men in a stressful situation. Just two guys making each other mad – doesn’t matter if you’re right-wing, left-wing, up or down.”
As they say, there’s much more at the link (free registration may be required).
Acuna surely must realize he’s stirred a hornet’s nest with this statement. Perhaps he believes every word but I’d like to think this is his ploy to increase the Sacramento Bee’s online traffic. That he might actually view this as just another “urination competition” is, well, Bee-zarre.

Happy Veterans Day from the MSM.
Acuna matada.
We share the blame, the editors opined.
Just a few weeks later the publisher of the Bee, Ms Janis Heaphy, was booed off the stage at a local university as she maligned President Bush and then-Attorney General Ashcroft, they were too mean toward terrorist suspects, don't ya see.
Bee employees of course described the audience as stupid and uneducated, particularly the parents. The students didn't boo, the Bee employees claimed.
