[Democracy In Iraq]

Somebody call Hugh Hewitt's show (in progress now). He's been on this like few others.

I already e-mailed, but someone please call in at 1-800-520-1234.

[Lazamataz]

GOOD!!!!

If Jeff Gannon has to go, so does Eason.

Eas'on down the road, just Eas'on down the road....

[jpl]

I love how even in his official resignation, the little weasel doesn't actually acknowledge making the statement.

[Dog]

2 to 1.....we lost Jeff's voice on our side.

This is going to really bring out the trolls now.

RED ALERT!

[Tacis]

It is so sad to see a person kill himself. Oh, you didn't mean "from the living, human race," you meant from his job at the sewer.

[NorCalRepub]

oh I like Rameesh but he said that is what he was hearing so I wonder who his sources are......it would be great news though if true.......since we have captured Zarqawi about 50 times, I tend to hold judgement until confirmed

[missyme]

That's Missy :)

[Lazamataz]

Blogisphere - 2, MSM - 0

Not quite: The score is 2-2. We lost Gannon and NCPAC.

[armymarinemom]

My buddies are dropping like flies

[Soul Seeker]

YES!!

Now let's see that tape!

[headsonpikes]

We're familiar with the whack-jobs who attack police to attract gunfire - 'suicide by cops' it's called.

I give you Eason Jordan - the first 'suicide by blogs'.

[sure_fine]

take them down from top and bottom
