I doesn't matter, Bond. He could be a friggin' infanticidal serial killer and no one would care as long as he chanted "No More Bush!!!" while stabbing babies in the face with a rusty scissors. The only qualification you need to be applauded by the left is to hate GWB. Funny, thats pretty much sums up all you need to be leading voice for the Democratic party nowadays, too.
As long as you hate Bush the media will ignore anything else that you do, or how hipocritical you are. Have you seen any of this in the media lately?
1) It was recently discovered that Mr. Michael Moore's foundation invested in Haliburton as well as several Pharmaceutical corporations. All of these he pretends to despise and rails against, while making a boatload of cash off of everyone he duped. Not even the Daily Show will touch Moore, even though they did delight in going after Mike Wilson who made the documentary "Michael Moore Hates America", a film which actually doesn't have all that much to do with Moore.
2) Iraq actually had several thousand pounds of Uranium in the country and it was
rediscovered by our military after we went in and unseated Saddam. I say
rediscovered because apparently out intelligence agencies knew about it for a long time, and since it was known about news organizations can excuse the constant claim that no WMD's or materials were found. I guess Uranium that we know about is less dangerous than Uranium we recently find.
Also, the labs and materials for Reisin (sp?) gas were found too, which I've mentioned here before, but since the gas wasn't cooked up that doesn't count either.
3) The Oil-for-Food investigation is getting really interesting, not only implicating head officials of the UN, but also France and one Mr. George Galloway who is a leading socialist and war-opponent in the UK (and also praised Saddam on occasion).
4) We've heard how many soldiers have died in Iraq as it made the front page of papers across the country and the world, but how many terrorists and insurgents have been killed? How many provinces in Iraq have no violence at all? How many schools have been rebuilt? How many new businesses have been started? Etc.
Why isn't any of this news? Good news for Bush is bad news to the left and the media. Anything that doesn't paint the war as the next Vietnam, an opinion that the media has been wanting to validate for almost 2 years now seeing how they were salivating in anticipation for 2,000th soldier to die, is not newsworthy to those that want to shape public opinion more than they want to present fair reporting of activities.
But why care about it? Those that want to blame Bush for everything will just ignore any good news anyway. The ends justify the crazy-ass-paranoid-idealism.
And I'm OUT.
