Today's Snark Attacks from the Seattle P-I -- good ones

[baby_bear]

A few months ago, the P-I started a "Saturday Spin" page which among other things (including a Ted Rall cartoon), there are short snark attacks submitted by members of the editorial board. Here are a couple from today:

Snark Attack

This bulletin will crush certain egos inflated by the fact that the P-I is one of a select group of regional papers that members of the White House staff read regularly: The president "rarely" reads stories, only "glanc at the headlines just to kind of a flavor for what's moving." While Bush "respects the media," he says he understands "that a lot of times there's opinions mixed in with the news." Oh, really? We hadn't noticed. (Not that we're so deluded as to think he reads editorials, either.)

In response to Sen. Ted Kennedy's accusation that the Iraq war was a fraud "made up in Texas," Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison declared: "Sometimes I think, when I hear people talking, that they have forgotten that America was attacked," suggesting that the senator has forgotten that America was not attacked by Iraq.

Rummy of the week: Writing in The Washington Post, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said, "(T)o help the Iraqis succeed, we need some humility." Maybe he is thinking about resigning.
