"Toensing and Corn" sounds like a problem indigenous to Iowa or Nebraska!
They put it out for only one reason - so they could take credit for it and sell books. If you write a book with David Corn, you are officially admitting that you are playing for the dark side. No more pretending to be non-partisan for Isikoff just because he got in on the Monica fiasco.
One thing about Corn is there is always Cornhuskers!
I am sure he knows how to put it to very good use.
David Gregory, David Gregory, this is your bud..David Corn...Ok, Shep (Shep Smith), ok...I forgot...you're a friend too...David Brock, oh David...have you seen the Cornhuskers...
Nice goin', guys
National Review, June 6, 2005 by Mark Steyn
TO us old Fleet Street hands, Michael Isikoff will always be the guy who lost the Monica scoop. He had the Lewinsky story first, but his bosses at Newsweek killed it at the last minute.
"Flash-forward seven years to the spring of 2005: Isikoff is still at work at Newsweek, possibly still working on trying to nail down his Monica scoop. Suddenly, "a knowledgeable U.S. government source" tips him off on a hot story: At Guantanamo Bay, interrogators got prisoners to talk by flushing a copy of the Koran down the toilet."
"And then they ran the story. And, as we now know, it sparked riots in Pakistan and elsewhere that left 15 people dead. And, unlike the fact-checked-to-death Monica story, the Qu'ran-down-the-to'ilet story turned out to be--what's the word?--untrue."
These people always get caught and I think people are just tired of hearing their same old lies and distortions.
