To the Old Media, there’s nothing exciting about U.S. Senate filibuster to block qualified judges or the fact that dozens of Muslims are dead because of a phony story slamming the American military. Yes, what the Old Media needs is a cause celeb and a drum to beat on a “slow news Friday.”
To that end, alleged photos published in a British newspaper of Saddam Hussein in his tighty-whiteys are causing quite a stir. The London Daily Mail, who couldn’t care less about the fake Newsweek story, whined that the “ensational pictures of Saddam Hussein in his underwear” are now “reigniting the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal.”
Huh?
Nothing against The Sun newspaper, but I gotta ask: Did anyone in the Old Media peeing in their panties over this awful violation of Saddam’s privacy rights check to make sure this photo is real?
Maybe it’s because I’m a man that grew up in Texas but I don’t consider a publishing a snapshot of a wealthy murdering dictator having to fold his own clothes while behind bars as “prisoner abuse.”
Prison abuse is severe beatings, poisoning food, stabbings, sodomy, and/or taking a black permanent marker to the prisoner while he’s asleep (for example, the night before his court appearance, draw a Gene Simmons from KISS-like makeup pattern on the guy’s face, write “I Got Buggered in Baghdad County Jail” on the front of his jumpsuit and arrows pointing down his back below the words “Glory Hole”).
Now THAT’S prisoner abuse, you idiots in the Old Media. Check with me next time before you report, will ya?
Primero!?
Hey, no fair Ducky.
You’ve got an inside track!
First! (Not an insider!)
Boo-hoo-hoo. The evil, murdewous, dictator is embawassed now.
Tough (fill in your expletive here)!
Stoopid MSM.
ACtually, I don’t have an inside edge.
BTW, how do you manage to be first so often?
Cry me a f**king river. So he’s in his skivvies, big deal. What I want to know is where these photos came from.
somehow, someway, it will be Karpinski’s fault…
heh, he’s suing over it, too.
The photos appeared in Britain first…was he ever guarded by the Brits? I can just see one British guy thinking, “I need to take one of these home for mum.”
TEEEEEEJ
He should thank his lucky stars he’s not imprisoned in Arizona or else that picture would have shown him in pink boxers (courtesy of Joe Arpaio, the Toughest Sheriff in America)!
Old media?!? Not that I really care, but the U.S. Department of Defense were the first that I noted as being upset about the Saddam photos. Also, it is very old news about koran desecration. Newsweek is not the first to report about. Having served in the military, it wouldn’t surprise me that this happened.
