Revolting

Do you want to fully understand why many people no longer trust the infotainment industry? Examine just this small sample from the Feb. 6, 2006 issue of Newsweek, in an article called Palace Revolt (emphasis mine):

Counsel to the vice president is, in most administrations, worth less than the proverbial bucket of warm spit, but under Prime Minister Cheney, it became a vital power center, especially after 9/11.

This is what passes for reporting today for Newsweek, and is not the only example of Democratic Underground-quality commentary in this group effort from Daniel Klaidman, Stuart Taylor Jr. and Evan Thomas.

There is one bright side, however. Unlike another shoddily-sourced, politically-driven Newsweek article, it does not appear anyone will immediately die as a result.

This time.

This stupid story was highlighted in the MSM browser window also. I ignored it as soon as I recognized the Newsweek byline.

They act like it is some big scandal when someone working for the President actively obstructs him and is fired. I guess they forget travelgate and all the other Clintoon firings done just because of cronyism and personnel conflict or the all the firings FDR, JFK and many more administrations did. At least Bush fired these clowns because they were putting the country in danger.

iranian nuclear energy;a very discussable topic for the media around the world especially those who are against iran and do prefer to satter sorts of news that make iranians worry about thier situation.dishonest europeans did not try to fulfil their promises after iran eu3 negotiations in tehran 2 years ago.despite the effective and sensible confidence building that iranian officials have taken ,europeans conversely have tried to grow more dishonest and turn this very simple dossier into a controversial issue.they only pretend that iranian program is threateninf and jeopardizing ,while they ignore this fact that the most destructive nuclear arenas are located in israel soil and zionists are enjoying to see the world view has turned on them.Possession of peaceful nuclear energy is the definite right of IRANIANs.gary

Gary -- or as you are known at home, Hamid Reza Mehrabi, of Hamid, Khorasan, in the Islamic Republic of Iran -- we just aren't buying your sincerity, Bubba.

And it isn't just the fact that you lie about who you are, its about the fact that you've been caught regarding your revealed plans for nuclear weapons.

I simply must get a better class of troll.

Bring in James Carville!
