Repeat After Me: Journalists Are Impartial

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Tuesday, December 16. 2008 11:36
And if you still believe that, I'd be delighted to introduce you to my friend, the tooth fairy.

By the way, did I see that attribution right? Why yes, I believe I did:

Al-Zeidi, the journalist who threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush, was handed over to the Iraqi judiciary, an Iraqi official said Tuesday, a move that ordinarily signals the start of criminal proceedings. (AP Photo/Bilal Hussein)


Irony cleanup, aisle two.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*What a vindication of George Bush! Could a journalist have thrown shoes at Saddam Hussein? Regardless of what we think of the President, it seems to have worked. Iraq is assuming the trappings (however ugly they may seem) of democracy.
