DUers help Monica Crowley. Why so much anti-Americanism.

poor lady just can't figure it out on her own. Maybe you might want to let her know it's not just those damned ferriners who aren't impressed with Commander Cuckoo Bananas.

American Reporter Needs Help Understanding Why The World Hates Bush

Last week, I spent a few days in London giving a series of lectures on American foreign policy.

My audiences were American and generally supportive of what the Bush administration is doing in fighting terror and spreading freedom.

The Europeans, on the other hand, were a different story. The British media were full of stories pounding the president and his policies. Since I couldn’t get MSNBC in London, I was stuck watching the BBC, with its nightly onslaught against the U.S.

The day I left London, I saw a screaming headline in one of the big British papers, "President Bush’s failures."

By the end of my trip, I was drowning in anti-Americanism.

You can email Monica at Mcrowley@msnbc.com if you think you have any tips for her.

1. I was going to email her
actually had one started and decided she was not worth the time or effort. She probably would have a hard time reading the big words. Wonder how much the Bushies are paying her to be thier shill?

2. Her old boss Richard Nixon would be appalled by her neoconservatism
I'd really like to believe that she is very bright and articulate, but this statement also reveals her to be a little bit too sheltered.

4. She misunderstood. She wasn't drowning in anti-Americanism...
she was drowning in reality. Or maybe it was just anti-Crowleyism. People can usually pick up on it when you feel disdain towards them.

5. Dear Monica,
It's called the truth. The British media is telling the truth. I'm not surprised you had trouble recognizing it, since it has been absent so long from the stories told by the American corporate media.
