This may bring Florence King out of retirement

The Corner over at NRO has this tidbit about Good Morning America. Apparently that show's producers have decided to come out against the war. Why else would they use The Crippled Kid Manoeuvre? Even the makers of "Bush = Hitler" protest signs are shaking their heads in dismay and muttering, "Man, that's going too far."

Um, so adolescents are running the foreign policy? Like in the 90s?

Sorry, that was too easy.

Wasn't there a bloodsucking creature on an episode of the original Star Trek whose arrival was presaged by an overpoweruing honey-like smell?

Very good, Andrea. "Obsession"--White smelly cloud kills people. Kirk chases it around like Ahab until Bones and Spock thinks he's nuts. Finally the cloud attacks them and Spock has to agree it must be destroyed.

Cuomo: "What do you think about everything that's going on?"

Stepanek: "I really don't like it; I mean it's sad. And we've gone from battlefields to backyards, from arrows to anthrax. You don't have to go to war, you don't."

Cuomo: "But what if they, if the Iraqi government refuses to turn things over that the American government believes is there? What else are they supposed to do?"

Stepanek: "Don't go and bomb it, because that'll make them say 'Ooh let's bomb them.' We'll bomb back, they'll bomb back, soon there will be nothing to bomb, no one to bomb. Why are we doing this? It's pointless."

The only thing that could have made this more obnoxious is if the kid had a cute speech impediment. ("God bwess you, Kwusty!") Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go puke my guts out.

This is beneath contempt, and it illustrates why I can't stand the broadcast media anymore.
