Bush speechwriter: Prosecute New York Times for 'grammar'

David Edwards
Published: Sunday June 25, 2006

On a cable news show, David Frum, a conservative journalist and former speechwriter for President Bush, argued that out of the three newspapers that wrote about the secret program to search through thousands of American's bank accounts to find terror ties only the The New York Times should be prosecuted, RAW STORY has found.

On CNN's Reliable Sources with Howard Kurtz, Times columnist Frank Rich wondered why the administration wasn't going after the Wall Street Journal or the Los Angeles Times. Frum responded that he could tell from the "grammar" used in all three publications that the news originated at the Times, and that if they hadn't published the story the others wouldn't have either.

1. Good precedent. Then, we can prosecute Bush for his grammar. nt

3. English is Bush's second language. His first is unknown to man.

4. remind me again what law they broke?

:shrug:

David Frum: this is as close as you could possibly imagine to the classic definition of publishing a ship's departure time and inviting the enemy to fire a torpedo at it.

Uh, yeah, okay. :rofl:

5. Frum came off as an arrogant, elitist fool in that encounter

What's funny to me is how someone as supercilious as Frum dares to call anyone else arrogant and elitist.

6. prosecute * for grammar?

If we did, * would surely be found guilty as hell and put in a dark hole for the rest of his stupid life.
