Yeah, that was a really lame attempt at making a stir.

Off topic, sort of….. yesterday, I caught the last few minutes of TAlk of the Nation on NPR. They were discussing the current Middle East crisis and a caller managed to get on the air and started raving about “The Grope” and the humiliation he felt as an American. Both the host Neil Conan and the guest (I think it was NPR’s political correspondent Ken Rudin) dismissed the non-story outright and dismissed the caller. “Inconsequential,” I believe is what Rudin said.

If NPR doesn’t care about “The Grope” you know it’s not a story.

Jeez, that is groping?

Holly smoke, everyone here is a molester..
You are soo sensitive.

Let me tell you, physical contact is part of human behaviour.
And dirtiest jokes are told by the girls.

Shrug….

Hey, all of you people expecting the imminent demise of the NYT, put your money where your fingers are: I’ll bet all of you $1000 that the NYT will still be around in three years.

Gaius, the fact that you attack the NYT but not the WSJ for doing exactly the same thing is on topic–it shows that your a partisan hack.

I’ll point out your typical left wing shift off topic then demand that I address every issue you raise. Which I did answer but not the next extraneous point you raise. You’re wearing down my patience and your welcome. I am not your debating partner. Go get your own blog.

I think the NYT will be gone long before their planned shrinkage.

I quit reading so-called newspapers when I found more trivial drivel than news.

Same with televison news.

Ah, typical right wing behavior–when confronted with facts that contradict their world view, they just drop the subject.

If you really believe that the WSJ only printed the story because the Times was about to print the same story, even though they had had a reporter pursuing the story, you are either gullible or blinded by ideology. Perhaps both.

The WSJ also acknowledged that their reporter had been pursuing the story for some time.

Thank you for my monthly dose of far conservative mindless rubbish. A disgrace to true Republicans everywhere.

The WSJ itself said that was the case.

Don Singleton resorts to the last refuge of right-wing scoundrels–accusing those with whom they disagree of being terrorists and traitors.

Gaius, other than Tony Snow, what’s your source for the line that the WSJ only printed the story after it knew that the Times was going to print it? Do you realize how lame an excuse that is?

NYT to Reduce Page Size…

The smaller size will reduce postage costs to mail it to their primary customers, Al Qaeda cells all over the world….

That’s what the left has? Sqealing about the president’s use of an anglo-saxonism and trying to imply he’s a sexist?

You guys are sliding into oblivion, too. You’re making yourself irrelevant. Carry on.
