Calpundit doesn’t like “The
turkey is landed”:
But take a look at this headline from the Independent. I mean, I don’t like Bush either, and I have no doubt that PR played a major role in this whole episode, and I know the Independent is both lefty and anti-war and I know that British newspapers aren’t as sober as American ones. I know.
But honestly, what were they thinking? As the cover of Counterpunch or some Bay Area alt weekly, sure. But on the front page of an allegedly serious broadsheet?
Time to grow up, lads.
I’m sorry Kevin, you are the one who needs to grow up. Stop being so such a wuss. There’s nothing wrong with calling a moron a moron or a turkey a turkey. If anything, the US needs more of this, instead of the endless fawning politeness with which the media and the Democrats are rolling over with for Bush. This is the man who started a needless war based on lies, was appointed not elected to the president and is busy shredding any civil right you in the US still enjoy. Why is this less important than a punning headline?
