Spare us the pity for Iraq's ex-tyrant (some beautiful liberal-slamming from foreign press)***Sometimes enthusiasm for cynicism is farcical, such as in the story of the plastic turkey. The evil moron Bush had shown courage and commitment to the troops in Iraq by flying in to share Thanksgiving dinner with them. The troops cheered and hollered. There was a photo of a beaming Bush holding a platter of golden turkey, surrounded by a sea of appreciative khaki. Here was a story crying out for negative spin.

So the story spread around the globe that Bush was holding a plastic turkey, a fake bird that symbolised his presidency, even though, as the Washington Post reported two weeks ago, the turkey was a real, dressed turkey on display at the front of the mess hall, in accordance with US Army custom.

The Australian's Phillip Adams and the Herald's Alan Ramsey were the most gung-ho local propagators of the myth. Adams devoted an entire column to it: "It was a prop turkey, a pretend turkey ... the President had taken a plastic turkey - one used for gourmet magazine shoots - to the mess hall."

Who cares about facts, as long as you turn a positive for Bush into a negative?

But it's harder to apply negative spin to those jubilant Iraqis, rifles in the air, ululating, dancing for joy, from Auburn to Baghdad, at the news of Saddam's capture.***

Her biting wit is peerless.

Yes, Ann's hilarious, she cuts them to pieces! And the great David Brinkley was a witty one too "....gentle, courteous, and restrained his manner may have been, his comments contained a neat rapier-thrust of AMIABLE MALICE."

My wife gave me a talking Ann Coulter doll as an early Christmas present. I have it on my desk at work and it drives the libs crazy! Plus....the doll looks great. I asked my wife if they had life-sized ones!

The things that the doll says, in Ann's real voice, are classic anti-lib material.

Great read! Thanks.

If George W. Bush announced that a cure for cancer had been discovered, Democrats would complain about unemployed laboratory rats.

That's a tagline just waiting to happen.

I remember Bush telling someone, "I don't do nuance".

Isn't nuance a French word?
