The NYT in other words

[pluckedflowers]

SOMEWHERE ARAB: Frustrated at having to be in the vicinity of a New York Times writer, the young man, fatigued, was leaning on the horn of his picturesquely war-damaged but sturdy American car in an attempt to drown out the shrillness of the drone being emitted from the mouth of the journalist next to him.

The horn made a foreigner in the car next

Beautiful.

Gee, well I'm happy Rod Nordland was able to make Libya's situation all about the United States while ignoring any and all context for why those in the Middle East might, you know, have some negative feelings there.

Americans and, for that matter, all Westerners are treated hereabouts with a warmth and gratitude rarely seen in any Muslim country - even those with 100,000 American troops - in probably half a century or more.

Seriously, what is this shit.

At least the satire is awesome.

...Yeah. This is part of the reason why I tend not to like the NYT reporters who deal with the Middle East in general. Got to love such satire.

"Straight jingoistic froth" and "the key to a million kingdoms of bullshit" are phrases of beauty. Brought a tear to me eye. :')

I roared at that "the key to a million kingdoms of bullshit" comment. SO funny.
