I just can not digest an article which contains the following:

One Republican source, close to the White House, has a theory as to why the Queen is such an important catch for the image makers. "Look, Americans don't know shit. They're not going to recognise the prime minister of the Philippines. The only foreign leaders they could pick out are the Queen of England and the Pope - and we've already got those pictures." With the Pontiff in the can, the Queen is the co-star the president needs.

Paragraphs like that do not endeer me to the author.

I would say you are just in rejecting that article as it is trash.

I have a hard time believing this tripe. Its more anti-semite, leftwing Eurotrash that I have seen for years now. These are the same people who think Bush is a bigger threat than Saddam, Al Queda, and North Korea. Not very credible.

The problem is not us, its them.

Plus we write the history because we have truth on our side.

Why would a Republican feed an opposition paper and writer a prime cut of red meat? I call B.S. on Mr. Johnathan Freedland. It's tad too convenient for his hit piece. Perhaps Jason Blair has a new pseudonym?
