Most [Iraqi] people say, 'Thank you for getting rid of Saddam.'

Is Ithica the city in NY where Cornell is located? Another university that is favored by the downstate NY limo liberal elite? Us upstate farmers can't afford to send our children there. I'd bet its a Hillary town.

Naaaaaaah, you are right Joe Conason and Eric Alterman. There is no LW bias in the mianstream media.

I'd love to see how Iraqui kids react when the people from Ithica offer them "My Two Daddies" as a school textbook.
