Rod Nordland, my new hero

[Brainiac4]

Rod Nordland, *Newsweek *Baghdad bureau chief, did a live chat on Wednesday. The transcript’s been posted on MSNBC, and it’s funny.

Excerpts:

Irvine, CA: Newsweek has joined Ted Kennedy as the pro-insurgent party.
**Rod Nordland: **Another reader who has comprehension problems on the primary-school level.

Hopatcong, NJ: Do you, Masland and Dickey mean “F—ing Murderers” when you say “insurgents” and “fighters” in your STUPIDITY? I’ve grown sick and tired of you “politically incorrect” reporters. Why don’t you have the gumption to call a spade a spade?
**Rod Nordland: **OK, you’re an idiot. How’s that?

**Santa Fe, NM: **Why aren’t American leaders subjected to war crimes?
**Rod Nordland: **Probably the Secret Service would try to stop that.

**Hellowell, ME: **why does Bush care so much about what happens in Iraq when there are so many poor, sick, poverty-stricken people in the U.S.?
**Rod Nordland: **Who said he cares?

There’s much more, including a number of not-funny-at-all ones. Worth reading.
