i'm anxious to see if the press hounds "its own" as much as it hounds the rest of us to get a story.

[CindyDawg]

Jill who? (shrug)

[martin_fierro]

McCain was in 'Nam? Who knew.

[Radix]

It will be interesting to hear what she really thinks after she has a chance to catch her breath.

They killed her translator and kept her in bondage for weeks. It is hard to believe that she would have sympathy for such vermin. We'll see.

[Polybius]

The remarks have drawn criticism from conservative bloggers and commentators, but the Monitor said "Carroll did what many hostage experts and past captives would have urged her to do: Give the men who held the power of life and death over her what they wanted."

Hey, Associated Press, I went to the EXTREME to defend her. ;-)

If these guys were threatening to saw my head off, I would admit on camera to having sex with Helen Thomas...........33 posted on 03/31/2006 10:46:12 AM PST by Polybius

Why can't the muzzies kidnap Helen Thomas. But on second thought if they kidnapped her, the muzzies would pay the U.S. to take her back.

[Revolting cat!]

Leave her alone. She's got offers from Playboy and Penthouse to consider, conflicting TV appearance schedules, ghostwriter to pick for a quickie tell-all memoir, and an honest accountant to find to manage all that moolah rolling in. (Don't ask Leonard Cohen for advice on the last one.) Jill darling, you've Reebok on the line!

Ah, notoriety, that is the essence of the American Dream! Limos and police escorts, while the wounded Americans arriving on the same flight get shunned.

[mtbopfuyn]

Hmm, there were too many questions in these three months that I'm not buying anything she saying now.

[hershey]

And they let her go because???

[luvbach1]

Well and good, so what are her "real views?"

[debboo]

WHO THE HELL CARES???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If she went over there she knew what the consequences could be.

[nickcarraway]

When does a contigent from FR get there to tar, feather, and burn her at the stake?

[Recovering Hermit]

I'm glad to see that she made her hair appointment.

[eleni121]

Since she's being in the middle east she ceased being a journalist. A commentator perhaps. An Amanpour wannabe perhaps...objective journalism? NO. Just look at some of her writing from there.

- Jill, dear, the call's for you. Overseas.
- Thanks, mom. Hello? Ah, Wonderful. Wait I'll put you on the speaker phone.
- Mom, dad, say 'hello' to my fiancee Ahmet Ahmed...

Later.

 
- So what does Ahmed do, Jill?  Is he a lawyer, doctor, nuclear scientist?
- Ahmet, daddy, his name is Ahmet! He's a freedom fighter. 
  He was tortured by these awful Bible thumping Southern rednecks at Abu Ghraib.  
  They put a store brand WAL MART T-shirt on his head, can you imagine that?
- Store brand? That's humiliating. Outrageous!  Does Senator Kennedy know about this?
 

[Thunder90]

That is a discrace to BDU's

[Getsmart64]

After watching Fox news....they make her out to be the next American hero....what a bunch of crap the media is making of her...she's damn lucky that her head wasn't cut off or she was sold into slavery....maybe the whole kidnapping was a fraud and it was some of her non muslim buddies pulling a prank...she'll be the next Cindy Sheehan....I'm frankly getting tired of it...but I'm just an American citizen with no control of my country...

[Hank Rearden]

So when does the (yawn) book tour commence?
