Wow. That actually happened this year? It seems so long already. Yes, I agree it's blunder of the year.

May we never forget John Adam and the MSM who so eagerly brought him before us.

Which one? John Adams or his son John Quincy Adams????

"Then later, a toy manufacturer said the figure in the photo resembled one of its military action figures, dubbed "GI Cody."

LOL, someone needs to write this up as a real article.

Somebody needs to make a blooper reel of all the MSM screw-ups. I still have to say danny rather's phony "documents" is the all-time great, but there are plenty of others. Remember the reporter who tried to get a bunch of black NO refugees to bad-mouth Bush and none of them would? He went down a line of about 8 people and quit in disgust when nobody would bash Bush.

I was in Iraq when this happened. I couldn't believe it! I noticed the doll in the PX at Anaconda and then a few days later there he was being held hostage! To my great relief and amusement I saw that it wasn't a real soldier but the doll from the PX. When it was exposed as a hoax I read about it first on Free Republic. Moral was at an all time high for me.

Fake but accurate!
