Frank Rich’s op-ed about Newsweek—and the success with which the Bush administration has scapegoated the liberal, Jew-run media—was typically smart and insightful (hooray for Associate Editors/arts writers who have multiple interests!). I was especially pleased at his acknowledgement of the absurdity of Scott McClellan’s “Our United States military personnel go out of their way to make sure that the Holy Koran is treated with care” bullshit.

Yeah, I’m sure the interrogators are extra ginger with the holy book when they’re attaching jumper cables to their prisoners’ balls and razor barbed choke chains to their necks.

I mean I hate Newsweek, but still…

P.S.
Just when you thought the president couldn’t get any more unbearable, his commencement speech at evangelical Calvin College in Michigan contained this infuriating fake self-deprecation: “Someday you will appreciate the grammar and verbal skills you learned here. And if any of you wonder how far a mastery of the English language can take you, just look what it did for me.”

Fucker.

P.P.S. Does anyone else think that Laura Bush is looking kind of foxy while being heckled by true believers on her middle east trip? Damn…
