Heck, 14 cars burning would get 24/7 coverage with pix, if it could be blamed on W or the GOP. The problem for the presstitutes is, however, this puppy cannot any longer be ignored and will become part of the WOT debate...
Especially with FR. Fox yesterday afternoon(EST in the US) actually devoted some time to what was happening in France.
I spent a few minutes this morning imagining what Perky's response would be if even a small portion of this French unrest were happening in the U.S. It was kind of funny.
Someone should be keeping tabs of the stories on the NYT and WaPo front pages, along with some of the other left-wing papers, for the past twelve days and through the next few weeks. When (if) this thing explodes into open warfare in Europe, it would be illuminating to see how much time in our major newspapers was devoted to it versus the space allocated to Scooter Libby and the 'corruption' of the Bush administration.
It'll be fun to listen to Juan Williams interpretation of all this on the Fox roundtable. He'll probably do the hands over the ears thing, because there's no remotely rational way he can whine and blame it on Bush. I wouldn't put it past Juan to try, though.
