Senator Judd Gregg compares Sy Hersh with Donald Duck

http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=4755278&nav=4QcS

Gregg dismisses reports saying U.S. plans strike against Iran

WARSAW, Poland (New Hampshire) Senator Judd Gregg is in Poland working to discredit a report that the United States is considering bombing Iraq and saying the investigative journalist who wrote it is a joke.

Gregg is visiting several former communist countries this week. While in Warsaw with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and North Carolina Senator Richard Burr, he said he expects the president will use diplomacy to solve the standoff with Iraq.

...

One report was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Seymour Hersh. Gregg compared Hersh with Donald Duck, saying he gives the reporter and the cartoon duck the same credibility.

3. Interesting political development
So what cartoon character does President Bush remind you of, now that Senator Judd Gregg has opened the door to this line of debate?

Snidely Whiplash?

Chief Wiggum?

Elmer Fudd?

Bluto?

Zapp Brannigan?

Bryant

7. Zapp Brannigan, only without the charm and brains.
Consider:
Who made the following statements, B*sh or Brannigan?


1: "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

2: "If we can hit that bull's-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall
like a house of cards...Checkmate."

3: "I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful welcome."

4: "We don't know anything about their race, history, or culture,
but one thing's for sure: They stand for everything we stand against."

5: "It's in our country's interests to find those who would do harm to us
and get them out of harm's way."

6: "In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces"














(B*sh: 1,3,5; Brannigan 2,4,6)

4. iirc, no American journalist has his work scrutinized more than Sy Hersh
Edited on Tue Apr-11-06 10:31 AM by Bozita
Hersh's publishers pay for the additional pre-publication screening.

Gregg is an asshole.

5. And what's Gregg's knowledge of this matter?
He should tell us all he knows if he has any facts to dispute this.

Otherwise , STFU.

6. Senator "Who???" is pretty sure of himself -- Rove gives a hearty pat on
his back.
