Banging the Headboard for Bush

Judith Miller and the Battle for the Bulge: "And who could ever forget the coup de grace?

'The first sign of a 'smoking gun,' they argue, may be a mushroom cloud.'

Judith Miller went on to write several more propaganda pieces for the Bush Administration doing everything in her 'journalistic' power to sell her fellow citizens on the imminent threat posed by Saddam Hussein's WMDs, and the need for the United States to strike preemptively against the regime. She teamed up again with Gordon, who has become a darling on the television news circuit, to write the September 13, 2002 piece, 'White House Lists Iraq Steps to Build Banned Weapons,' which only expanded on their earlier falsehoods. Several members of Congress mentioned the story of the nuclear threat as a reason for voting to authorize the war."

Famous news squish Chris Mathews regularly tans himself in the glow of the likes of Judith Miller, empathizing as she too aches for the Bush crotch-bulge so notoriously and raptureously celebrated by Mathews in his infamous, embarrassing 2003 on-air stroking of Bush's member-in-chief, as it landed - with it's owner, on a well-placed aircraft carrier.

For me, it's the very special pork-operated righties, like Katherine Harris, Mark Foley and Judith Miller, that paint the clearest picture of the moral core of contemporary GOP nonsense.

"On April 21, 2003, Judith Miller, now working as an embedded reporter with the U.S. military's MET Alpha, wrote the story, 'Illicit Arms Kept Till Eve of War, an Iraqi Scientist Is Said to Assert.' In this piece of propaganda, Miller claims without evidence or proof that the Iraqis destroyed or shipped to Syria their vast stockpiles of WMDs. Miller's anonymous source was a guy claiming to be an 'Iraqi scientist,' and she tells her readers that she 'was permitted to see him from a distance at the sites where he said that material from the arms program was buried. Clad in nondescript clothes and a baseball cap, he pointed to several spots in the sand where he said chemical precursors and other weapons material were buried.' "
