Time fired Matt Cooper? When did this happen? I am missing a lot of stuff this summer with watching the grandkids!
They just read my email on cpsan....since I"m a frequent caller, and they ask you not to call too often, I sent an email this time. My email was to Mr. Lichtblau asking him why american's should continue to provide tax dollars to NYCity in support of anti-terrorist activities, when the city's paper of record just reveals that information to the terrorists so they can plan around it to attack the city, and the country. Mr. Lichtblau's response: "good point" and then no other conversation on this topic. HA!
Thanks anita. Sure seems the tide is going the other way, at least a little bit, as the other side is getting more grief. Good.
I see the info about Cooper's testimony being inconsistent with what the different versions of what he wrote for Time (which makes him a perjurer). I also found an article this week in MediaWeek that he's leaving Time to join the new Conde Nast Portfolio start up business title and can believe that he's being "kicked up upstairs," so to speak, but I can't find anything about him getting fired. Do you have a reference?
Did you put the Jose Maria Aznar and Tony Blair pieces back to back with a sly implication in mind?
I love the schedenfreude for Tina, Alec, Wolfe and little Timmah in those respective nuggets.
Great catch on Andrea Jones, and I'd completely forgotten Brownstein's link to McCain when I put together the preview thread. He was on MTP and I had it on in the background, but was too tied up in the thread to do anything but listen to the tone and try to pick up any bombshells (counting on my subliminal bombshell detector).
