SURRENDER MONKEYS! (Check Out the NY Post's Front Page Picture about the Iraq Report! LOL!)

NY Post ^ | 12/7/06

The NYP has a staff of bright young things who do nothing but write headlines. That is something Murdoch brought from tabloidland in Oz when he took over the paper. Remember the classic "Headless Body Found in Topless Bar"? That's them at work.

Too funny.

[Loud Mime]

I believe many read FR because the replies here contain some great humor and good logic. Of course, we have our flamers, but when the whole site is reviewed you will find its content is far, far, far above the dummie place.

"I was walking by the Newspaper stand in Manhattan this morning on my way to work and I did a doubletake! LOL I thought the guys from the NY Post had been reading Free Republic! LOL"

I used to dismiss the Post as a tabloid...now it's one of my favorite papers. It's sold in Pittsbugh by a few vendors -- when I see it, I usually pick up a copy.

If they're surrender monkeys, it would be Pelosi's or Reed's.

LOL What happened in comments 37 & 38? They were removed my the moderators? Were they lurkers?

I'd like to see most of these rags go the way of the do-do bird. But the Post -- I'd make an exception.

I notice they didn't use Vernon Jordan (yes, *that* Vernon Jordan) for this.

Thanks for posting...When I saw it at the newsstand this a.m., I laughed hysterically all the way to work.

Contrast it to the Daily News showing a photo of W and the caption, "Historic report damns Bush's Iraq Strategy and warns this is...His Last Chance."

>Why was VERNON JORDAN qualified for this?<

He is black.
