The Administration vs. the Administration (Dana Milbank) Good Read

[Worst Username Ever]

*sniperoo*


President Bush (news - web sites) seems to have inordinate difficulty pronouncing the name of Abu Ghraib, the infamous prison in Iraq (news - web sites) that has been home to Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s atrocities and U.S.-sanctioned abuse. Though the correct pronunciation is "abu grayb," with a slightly guttural g, Bush last week referred to the prison as "Abu Gareff." At a speech this spring at the Army War College, Bush pronounced Abu Ghraib three ways. Reuters described them as "abugah-rayp," "abu-garon" and "abu-garah," but your correspondent distinctly heard "abu-garom."

1. I love his comment: "Abu Boo Boo!" A great read. Milbank really does

a nice job with this and the comments at the end. He was trashed early on by this administration, but he's tried to sneak stuff in even in the early days when the rest of the WaPo was lock step with the Bushies.
