Wow, Clothahump. Given the pathetic nature of the other “liberal media” thread that just got revived for no apparent reason after a 9 month stint in the great lobby of undead crap, it’s quite astounding that you’ve managed to start one that is even more moronic. Well done. Have a cookie. No, don’t poke Dale in the eye with it, it’s food.
It is three days after the referendum. Results are awaited. Meanwhile, other shit is happening. This is not the lib’ruls’ fault. That is the nature of, like, causality and shit. What do you want; top billing to the epic scoop, “Iraq Referendum Results Still Not In”?

A common complaint I hear about evul libruls is they think real ‘Merkuns r stoopid. Y’all keep callin’ us stoopid and we’ll toon out.
And then, another thread like this pops up. Worse, one of the rarified conservatives with a fine intellect gives his endorsement.
I mean, really, what do you want? What are you expecting when you confront other people with this level of inanity? It’s like I’m watching that guy in Spinal Tap: “Do me a favor. Just kick my ass, okay? Kick this ass for a man, that’s all. Kick my ass. Enjoy. Come on. I’m not asking, I’m telling with this. Kick my ass!”
Seriously, Clothahump is pretty much a shrill idiot, sort of an sevilsivlE; he’s not worth paying attention to. But Bricker? You’re usually fairer than this, man.
Ok, I know I said I was backing away, but I want to make this perfectly clear.
Reuters: Internet Report. “Get the latest news about the World Wide Web from Reuters.”
Suppose we try the recent stories from Reuters: World News instead? Oh gee, what’s this? After 23 years, Dujail haunted by Saddam’s revenge Well well! A positive story about how happy these Iraqis are that Saddam is going to stand trial and face justice! That damn liberal media. :rolleyes:
How about the front page of Knight Ridder’s Washington Bureau?

Indeed. And although it has scant little to do with the topic at hand, we all know neither of those facts bother you one iota in your robot-like support of Dear Misleader.
Of course, the OP is going to run off now and read all those stories he’s been given about the election. And then he’ll probably come back and blame the liberal media for reporting that many Sunnis are voting against the constitution.
Take it easy on poor Bricker. The potential impact of his wager has to be settling in upon him. (What was it - $100 per seat picked up by the Democrats in the house and senate in 2006? Who was that with, again? Fear Itself? Yikes!)
Meanwhile, as of midday, that liberal rag The Boston Globe has the gall to put a story about the elections third down on its front page. What on earth could be more important than that? Let’s see:
Wow…
roadside bombings up, power, water, manufacturing, all down. A slow boiling civil war raging across the country and probably a partition plan the second our forces pull out.
And this is success?
Didn’t I hear this same bullshit earlier? “They’ve got purple ink on their fingers. Ink! Fingers! It’s a totally different country. Totally! Violence will stop real soon, I’m sure.”
Seems like this shit.
