The VRWC invades the Iraq press rooms

MORE EVIDENCE THAT Bernard Goldberg was right, in the form of an article from the Associated Press with the scary headline “Bush Loyalists Pack Iraq Press Office.”

Er, except that “pack” turns out to mean that 33% of those there have some sort of (undefined) GOP tie. But as reader Patrick Sennett notes, to a press used to newsrooms that are upwards of 95% Democratic, I suppose an operation that’s one-third Republican must seem inconceivably rightward-tilting!

That would make the press room so far to the right that it would have to be a conspiracy.

Still a little bit of a civilization left

These horrific attacks remind us of the viciousness of the enemies of Iraq’s future. United in sadness, we are also united in our resolve that these enemies will not prevail.

Senator John Kerry

Well said. If I’m going to quote Kerry’s mistakes, I should quote him when he’s eloquent on a difficult issue as well.
