Spiro Agnew once said that the media were "nattering nabobs of negativity." How right he was. You see them every night on the nightly talking head programs warning us of "quagmires" and "Muslim rage." Who can forget how the "elite Republican Guard" was going to send our troops home in body bags back in 1991? Well, the elite Republican Guard ended up surrendering to CNN cameramen. Saddam wouldn't even issue them white underwear out of fear they would strip naked and use the underwear as surrender flags.

The Arabs in the Middle East are a bunch of backwards savages. Without our oil money, they would still be riding camels and wiping their asses with their bare hands. Hopefully that is what they will be doing again once we get done with them.

Imagine. Rommel and Patton once roamed those sands. North Africa, that is. Not much has changed in that region, except the the discovery of oil.

It's about time these dirtbags worry about what OUR reaction is going to be, and not the other way around.

Any idea who wrote those words for him (and it was negativism)? William Safire! Same speech in which he said the constant critics were but "an effete corps of impudent snobs, elected by no one...". The fact that we're still quoting it means it was memorable, whether the media liked it or not!
