"One thing I don't want to hear anymore," Mr. Capus said, "is people like Laura Ingraham spewing about us not leaving our balconies in the Green Zone to cover what's really happening in Iraq." Ms. Ingraham made that comment on the "Today" news program on NBC.

1. That statement deserves to be

well above the second to the last paragraph of the article.

2. Loony Laura thinks she's a seasoned veteran of the Iraq war.

because she took a ride in a heavily armed convoy once. She should just STFU.

Why doesn't the dizzy bitch enlist if she's such a patriot. She makes me sick to my stomach.

3. Shut up and sing!

No more blonde bimbos espousing views on a war they won't fight!
It's appalling that the Dixie Chicks are called radical and yet Laura, Mann Coulter and the other venomous beeoches are called pundits. They could shower vitriol over Hillary all the live long day and yet none has the guts to run for office and do public SERVICE.
Some patriots, girls.
I don't know who said this, but I'll write the quote because it applies to Hillary and the Dixie Chicks: "My country if right, be kept
right; and, if wrong, be set right."
I don't see Laura Ingraham working to that effect.

:puke:

4. Chic said they would go to Iraq if invited. Didn't hear that freak

volunteer venture that way.

5. She thinks because she handed out candy to a few kids in Iraq

that she's the expert on journalism from the front lines. Yeah, she's talked to the PEOPLE. She knows how things REALLY are.

Keith Olbermann already ripped her a new one for that "balcony crack," as he put it, back in March--right after she said it, while Jill Carroll was still a hostage and there was no reason to think she was going to come back home with her head intact.

And of course, the freepers excused it as usual by saying she wasn't saying that the MEDIA hadn't covered Iraq on the ground, she was just complaining that Matt and Katie hadn't set up a Today show live from Iraq! That was all!

9. Well I thought she was talking of entertaining the troops purposes.

6. Spewy.

:rofl:

Just like that alien from Chris Elliot's 'Get A Life'.

7. Those journalists are brave, most of them

I bet the Faux News posers get a Hollywood backdrop, special effects and all. A blue screen in the green zone.

It's the TV News anchors that try to present a 'reasoned' tone when spouting the BushCo propaganda, to the detriment of American democracy.

Anyway, coming out against a Nazi fruitloop is a start I guess. Something different.

8. It's well past time to tell turd-flinging-monkey-pundits like Ingraham,

O'Reilly, Rush, Malkin and the rest to "bugger off".

They seem to crave abuse, they dare you to it. So I say, why not be generous and give it to 'em?
