PAPER KNOWS ITSELF
Sticking to subjects on which it is expert, the New York Times investigates reduced political authority, waning popularity, and questionable political acumen.
Always read the (still free!) first sentences of NYT opinion pieces. The best stuff money can buy.
Today the NYT identifies Pakistan as a friendly government : The government of Gen. Pervez Musharraf too often acts like a garden-variety military dictatorship.
Yesterday Maureen Dowd exhibits sensitivity to all sides of the war on terrorism : The relentlessly black-and-white Bush could learn from Shakespeare’s riveting grays.
RebeccaH—So this would be a bad time to mention the Polaroids that got passed around the last minions’ lunch of Kos in the brass bikini kneeling at the foot of Our Dark Master Karl’s <s>throne</s> tasteful office set…?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 09 03 at 04:15 PM • permalinkThe Big splash of the NYT for the last three years has been the so-called Bush conspiracy to out the un-outable, the non-covert CIA overblown secretary and time server Valerie Plame, claiming she was exposed (when she wasn’t exposing herself in Vanity Fair) as revenge on her husband Wilson (who calls himself an ambassador but held the lowest level ambassadorial post, “administrator”, the one who keeps the toilets flushed at the embassy)for the lies printed in his “OP-ED” piece in the very New York Times. The Intelligence Review Comm. last year called Wilson a liar, and the Washington Post did so yesterday (it took a whole year to discover this fact), but the NYT still has not ‘fessed up. It also turns out, as the Wash Po finally recognized, that there was no conspiracy at all, that Colin Powell’s buddy Armitage was the one who fingered the wandering CIA bitch. Both Powell and Armitage have kept their mouth shut,(but Armitage’s lawyer has recently ‘fessed up for him) letting these false conspiracy charges fly around and ruin Scooter Libby’s life. Now that the truth is out, one would think a real newspaper would publish real news. What do we find in that Muslim propaganda rag. Nothing!!! As Mark Steyn has said, commenting in the conversion to Islam of the two kidnaped Fox reporters, “Much of the Western Media has converted to Islam and there seems to be no way to them to convert back to journalism”. It’s time to frog march Pinko Sulzberger down 42nd Ave.
A sort-of-on-topic post, in that it concerns something I read in a newspaper: Ron Delizio, father of gutsy little Sophie, was named Father of the Year over the weekend.
Good news in a newspaper. It still happens.

Posted by Stop Continental Drift! on 2006 09 03 at 06:58 PM • permalinkWhen I was on yet another punishment detail the other day, sweeping up Rove’s office, I noticed that his waste basket was full of invitations. This might sound paranoid, but I could have sworn that when I was cleaning the office, someone was hiding behind the curtains; I clearly saw some fingers - sort of curling and wiggling - clasping the edge of the drapes.
#5, It wasn’t just Powell and Armitage who sat back while the president’s time was wasted when it was needed elsewhere, but it seems that the only thing “special” about the special prosecutor was that he knew the truth from the very first day, but went ahead and spent the taxpayers money on this fraud anyway, as well as turned Mr. Libby’s life upside down. If I were Mr. Libby, I would be suing the pants off of every single one of these people.
The president made terrible mistakes not firing the people, like Tenet, et al, that not only didn’t do the job they were supposed to do—like keep an eye on known terrorists—but actively worked against him as this nations duly elected president, in a time of war, all in the name of political infighting. Talk about forgetting your place!
Out of all of the people around him who actively worked against the president, however, no one comes away with the taint and stink that Powell does. His betrayal, not just of President Bush, but of the whole country, is appalling.

Iowahawk was hiding in Rove’s office?

I can’t believe that paper’s even published any more. I mean, all those spaces with retractions must be dislodging the advertisers’ space.
A couple of years ago, when MoDowd wrote that column belittling our allies, I wrote the Times and told them I’d be damned to hell before I ever bought their paper again. Since then, my life has shown no deficit of knowledge about the world.
