Stupid Grants Exclusive to Sleazy Tabloid!
"When Woodrow Wilson came to Britain in 1918 he was excoriated for visiting the "pacifist" Manchester Guardian. Now George Bush has came under similar criticism, but this time for choosing to grant an exclusive interview to a "topless tabloid".

The Washington Post, under the headline "Prez in Topless Tabloid", chided Mr Bush for his appearance in this morning's edition of the Sun. The Post described the paper as a tabloid "that features daily photographs of nude women and articles akin to those found in our own National Enquirer".

Officials at the White House told the Post the interview was a reward to the newspaper for its unstinting support of the US over the war in Iraq. "

2. Maybe Frat Boy can get his picture taken
with Tara O'Connor.

He'd probably like that.

3. The Sun: had the most disgusting headline of all time
when the Brits sank the Belgrano during the Falklands War..the Sun ran a headline over a full page pic of the sinking Argentinian battle ship Belgrano, saying " GOTCHA !" ..very amusing, except 1500 young Argentinian conscripts died a horrible death on the ship.

The Sun, naturally supports the Iraq invasion.
