Lupica is a sports writer and it shows. Guess he is trying out a new career in the event of 2011 NFL and NBA lockouts.
Since the Times let their theater critic write about politics, the News thought their sportswriter should get the chance.
I guess journalism at these places isn't taken very seriously. It's like a fancy French restaurant that lets the guy from the pool snack bar cook a few meals. Or the hospital that lets the hairdresser perform brain surgery.
Nobody expects them to have high standards, so they don't.
Personally, I'd rather read what the guy who runs the printing press has to say, even though he's union.
BTW, I feel like a broken records reminding Lupica that Congess overwhelmingly approved the use of force in Iraq for multiple reasons other than the possibility that Iraq may have had a WMD program. Does any sane individual (this obviously excludes Lupica) actually believe that he would not have one in 2011, with his oldest enemy next door actively seeking them?

No matter how much the press wishes otherwise, Mubarak will come out on top.
gag. Mubarack should send out an assassin squad and rid the world of that dangerous Islamic nuclear arming fanatic ElBaradei and do the world a favor. Put a bullet between his nuclear ambition eyeballs.
Not so fearless in front of Ahminamadjihad and the Atomic Ayatollahs.
What brings you to that conclusion? I ask out genuine sincerity.
In 1979, the Iranian military “stood down” while the Ayatollah seized power.
In thanks, the Ayatollah then had the entire Iranian officer corps executed.
Thus, to save their own lives, the Egyptian Military today will not allow radical Islamists to seize power.

Him and Yasir Arafat ... and Jimmy Carter ...
hmmm, detect a trend ...
Call it the Nobel jew-hating prize, that would be more accurate.
“In 1979, the Iranian military “stood down” while the Ayatollah seized power.”
Jimmy Carter told them to.
If Egypt’s military is not in the habit of listening to US state dept, they’ll be okay.
Precisely.
Looks like Mikey’s got a new man-crush! Obama’s going to be so jealous!
Among the “multiple reasons” were: a war with Iran that cost about 500,000 deaths, ethnic cleansing of Kurds, Shias and the Marsh Tribes; the invasion of Kuwait and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia and Israel; sheltering al Qaeda members who fled the U.S. invasion Afghanistan; paying cash bounties to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers for killing Israeli civilians.
But you can't fit all that on a bumper sticker.
