I never have understood the value of reporters sitting around arguing with each other. It seems to demean the process even more than it already is. And, since every reporter seems to have their own specialty, the conversations leap to being inane pretty quickly.
But that is just my opinion. They probably enjoy it immensely.
I just heard Thomas Friedman on CNN say that the American people and the world will never support a US invasion of Iran as long as Rumsfeld is in charge. Well, all of the sudden I find myself supporting Bush in keeping him around. How ironic is that!!
an invasion of Iran. He’s been Bush’s greatest enabler in the invasion of Iraq. Friedman’s liberal credentials gave Bush tremendous cover in the runup to the invasion and the first years of the occupation.
Fuck him.
