shit. go now to cnn and get a gander at the latest photo of chimpy. it's even bigger on the front page of cnn.com. over the months, i have been getting the distinct feeling that the photographers in the mainstream media are a wee bit more liberal than the journalists. there have been far too many pictures that *ahem* didn't really need to say a thousand words - just 'asshole!' or 'drunk!' or 'idiot!'.
the best one was a photo of a tight-lipped bush (think 'pouty three-year-old') with the headline, 'Undeterred', at msnbc.com not long before The Invasion. someone at atrios said he looked like their cat when refused a bit of tuna. for even better, more outrageously mocking photos of members of the Occupation Government, visit this site. they managed to piss off someone in the Inner Circle of Hell because they got a real live 'cease and desist' letter regarding their parody of lynne cheney.
as for trying to get valarie plame killed - i doubt that was their intent. exposing her did have the unfortunate effect of ruining her entire career, which would certainly be enough to intimidate anyone else considering an act of public criticism of the Occupation Cabal. but, then you never know. in any case, how many of her contacts and sources were endangered, killed, or ruined by this? how badly did this act of petty political revenge set back the investigation into the proliferation of Very Bad Things?
plame's identity wasn't leaked to the washington post. it was systematically leaked to six different journalists (5 of them are as yet unnamed), but robert novak was the only one who took the bait. someone leaked to the washington post that two people from the Inner Circle of Hell were guilty of blowing plame's cover. then all hell broke loose on the blogosphere. bush and rove have both denied that rove had anything to do with the leak. wouldn't it be delicious if it comes out they were telling bald-faced lies, especially given all the republican braying about the evil of lying during the lewinsky scandal? i would shit a brick of joy if one or both of them were forced to eat their words ala repeat playbacks of the "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!" denial.
since the mainstream media is such a cesspool of self-masturbatory, fawning wankers, go these these sites for better reporting:
