Goofy Reporter Throws Notebook at Bush
Feed Your ADHD ^ | 12/15/2008 | Dr. Dave

Posted on 12/15/2008 5:14:37 AM PST by bloodmeridian

An Iraqi journalist tossed his reporter's notebook at U.S. President George W. Bush during a Baghdad news conference Sunday.

"I write crap. We all write crap. Your policies are crap," Muntazer al-Zaidi from Al-Baghdadia channel, which broadcasts from Cairo, said while throwing his notebook at Bush.

The action is considered by most media to be the worst insult they could make -- even worse than reporting outright lies and fabrications as truth. [Editorial Note: This report is an outright lie and fabrication reported as satire.]

Btw, your handle is the title of one of my alltime favorite books. Cormac McCarthy is one of the best.

Cool...i think you might have told me that a few years ago...and if it wasn’t you back then, then I’m glad you recognized it.

LOL...I probably did and forgot about it. A friend at work was telling me that something is in the works to make a movie out of that book.

That rumor has been spread for 20 years. IMB DOES, however, list it as an upcoming film, although the release date keeps getting pushed back, like The Road (at least The Road HAS been shot, though).

Thanks for the info. I had no idea that The Road was being made into a film. That was another incredible book.
