Hit the nail on the head

What kind of fucking moron are you?
The same can be said for all the pliant Republicans and media hounds who took whatever Dick and George said (Tim Russert, are you listening?) and took them as gospel. Same can be said for the NY Times, which allowed itself to be a clearinghouse for countless lies fed to Judy Miller by Bush leakers and that fraud, Ahmed Chalabi.
The war would never have been sold if the media had stood up and reported the facts, rather than regurgitating falsehood after falsehood that they had been supplied with. The media is as much a culprit as the Administration and supportive Congresspeople in the slaughter of our soldiers and the deaths of Iraqis. Even now, the media are accepting as gospel altered reports about the supposed success of the surge and evil doings by Iran. Even now, the repellent candidates the Republicans are trying to hoist on the public spew countless BS about why we must stay in Iraq, even to the extent that John McPain is all but ranting about the success of the surge, showing he has clearly lost his mind.
