The second time, as farce: Seriously? Bad enough Madman Gaddaffy got Libya on the Human Rights Council, now Syria’s looking to take his place. And you know what? I bet Assad will get it. But then, half the members of the council have awful human rights record, so really, what difference will it make?
Oh, look. Another British anti-Israel media event. Yawn. But sure, they’re great friends of Israel. Just ask them.
It’s a rocket shower, just like those “crude, homemade” kassam things: Really, who writes the AP headlines? Seriously? “Gadhafi showers strategic oil port with rockets”? What’s wrong with the word “pounds”?
The new civil tone: Well, if you’re a Republican, apparently, this counts as civil behavior towards you:
Senate Republicans were harried by swarming crowds. “We tried to get out of the building after the vote, because they were rushing the chamber, and we were escorted by security through a tunnel system to another building. But, after being tipped off by a Democrat, they mobbed the exit at that building, and were literally trying to break the windows of the cars we were in as we were driving away,” Republican senator Randy Hopper tells NRO. Such tactics, he sighs, were hardly unexpected. “I got a phone call yesterday saying that we should be executed. I’ve had messages saying that they want to beat me with a billy club.”
Think it got much play in the Times? Imagine if these had been Tea Partiers mobbing Dems. Oh, the humanity!
In all honesty, Merryl, I’ve been discovering more and more that the views held by The Guardian, Independent, BBC News and Channel 4 are not those espoused by the majority of people in this country.
The series in question was watched primarily by readers of the Guardian and Independent, Islamists, and a couple of dogs whose owners left the television on Channel 4 to keep them company whilst they popped out for dinner.
Probably less than a million people out of a sixty five million population watched all 4 episodes.
Personally I spent the time watching Law and Order Special Victims Unit.
Better “showering” rockets than “nagging” rockets, I think.
