The Big Lie Of Jessica Lynch |
|
Here ya go, flame away. A $1 mil book deal, zero memory of any "rescue" and the worst book you'll read this year. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=%2Fgate%2Farchive%2F2003%2F09%2F05%2Fnotes090503.DTL

3. Sunday night, on WorldLink, a documentary will examine ... |
|
the media spin of Jessica's rescue. On my DirectTV, it's channel 375, and it airs at 7:00 pm central standard time.

7. I agree that we now have more than a little taste of Soviet Life |
|
And unfortunately, I don't really see how it's going to get anything but worse.
Yes, it's pretty creepy living every day inside the novel "Animal Farm".
Who is ghostwriting her book. Comrade Squealer? Comrade Minimus?

8. Not 'of' Jessica, 'about' Jessica |
|
Let's not blame the victim for being exploited by the ghouls. She really was injured, and her experience included both severe pain and doubtless, given the propaganda, terrifying fear.
Her alternative was to blow the whistle. Who here would throw away well over a half-million dollars for the momentary satisfaction of setting the record straight to an uncaring world?

10. I am here to say I am so ashamed |
|
to have defended Rick Bragg during his recent NYT's disgrace. All his books I once owned are currently in the trash.
What an almond-joy moment: I feel like a nut.
