Deny, Deny, Deny….

In the 60’s, there was a vignette comedy called “A Guide for the Married Man”. In one of the funniest scenes, Joey Bishop is caught in bed with another woman by his wife -- whereupon he calmly puts on his clothes, straightens up the room, and quietly responds to his wife's outrage by saying "What bed? What girl?" In the end, his defeated wife simply asks, “What would you like for dinner, dear?”

And so today we learn that the best medical/statistical minds available put the Iraqi death toll at between 400,000 and 700,000. Bush’s response? "Ridiculous"

And as long as that kind of non-answer is respected by the media, there is no scandal, no smoking gun that will ever bring this obscenity to an end. They will simply lie and the media will dutifully report it as one side of a partisan debate.

So, what would you like for dinner, dear?

1. The press has come a long way since the fellation of Bush after 9/11

But they're still spineless pussies for the most part.

Liberal media my ragged ass, I'm so sick of that cliche.

3. The Press Has Come A Long Way After....?

I'm just thinking about your statement. And ya know what, I can't actually disagree with it, which when one stops to think about the situation, is pretty frickin' pathetic.

Like saying a baseball team that went 20-142 last season, and this year went 40-122, had a significant improvement because they doubled their victories.

Shrub's famous quotes

"I don't know how many people have died, and frankly, it's not that important to me."

"I don't really know where Bin Laden is, and frankly, I don't spend too much time thinking about it."
