A comment on the DC media

Got this from Glenn Greenwald’s blog:

Matalin, a Serious Member in Good Standing of our Beltway Establishment, can go on Meet the Press, sitting there with Tim Russert and her husband and others, and spout lies like this about what Americans think about the war because the D.C. Establishment wants to believe that they are trusted and respected. Matalin also said this about what "Americans believe":

It does not comport with the critics of the president who say progress is being made, including front-runners Hillary Rodham Clinton and, and Barack Obama. So people are very nuanced about this. They understand not only that it can be won, but that it must be won. They understand the consequences of defeat. Further, two thirds of them trust -- and nobody more than the generals -- when Petraeus and Crocker come and give their report, that will be the positive time.


Okay, I am just one American, but I want to state for the record, for all time, that I think Petraeus and Crocker are full of shit. And I fully know that this war was lost either in 2003 or the day the evil shits in DC decided to invade (that one is a toss-up). I know full well THAT IT CAN NEVER BE WON, unless the evil shits in DC decide to kill 75% of all Iraqis. Now, I am working hard to see that they don’t do that, but they might. And then they might call it “winning” – yeah, bringing freedom of the grave and the democracy of death to the Iraqi people, could, in their very sick minds be “winning”.

And I think Matalin, Russert, and the rest of the DC Establishment media are not only fools and clowns, I do not think that they are worthy of licking dog-shit off the bottom of any Iraqi’s shoe. And I don't think they ever will be worthy of that high of level of human interaction.

This piece was written in September 2007.
