But maybe he grins wryly when he says it, or his tone of voice tells ya it’s just that great Cooper sense of humor. After all, why Black? Don’t look too close, now.

There’s a lot more to Conrad Black than meets the eye. Cooper’s rhetorical gambit here is the same one used when the MSM said “Bush just ‘made his case’ for war” (instead of ‘presented it’) and when George W. said “As long as I’m the Decider.” People laugh and think ‘he can’t possibly mean that.’

That baldness is the point. Get an outrageous idea seem ordinary; make it sound acceptable or reasonable; plant the idea and half the country won’t think twice about accepting the most heinous proposition–and the rest will question themselves first.

Cooper might as well have been saying “Commute Conrad Black’s sentence” [before we learn anything more about him.]

Aw, damn, I’m missing Judy, Judy, Judy cause I don’t have TV. She prob can’t talk about the case because of the civil suit, right?

You may find a video clip on MSNBC. Her plastic surgeon channeled her face into taut cherub skin (caked in makeup), plumped her lips, and other tricks of his trade to appear at least a decade younger. Her hair stylist bobbed her hair with Coco Chanel bangs while her newly scalped hairline scar heals. I stand agape!

Shaking jowls only remind us of former criminals.

Say what you want about Chretien, he wasn’t scared to scrap with con Black.

Loo Hoo. @ 118

Jane, explicky?

She looks so different she’s virtually unrecognizable.

Tweety ended by saying “of course you can’t talk about the case…” And Miller gratefully said “Thanks, Chris.” Like we all should know what this means.

To put it mildly, I can’t think of anything that restricts her speech any more.

Scooter walks and nobody talks, and Judy just turned her aspen.
Dowd can kiss her own ass from the bottom of her column.

You mean the anthrax attack that came just in time for the release of Judith Miller’s book on bio-weapons?

I like to think of it as PNAC’s backup Pearl Harbor event. But they didn’t need it because 9/11 was much bigger than anticipated. So the anthrax became the attack that is not mentioned.

But kudos to Judith Miller for using her inside connections for personal profit, she’s such an enterprising, honest broker. *cough*

Speaking of Miller … she was on Tweety today. I had to go throw up.

Nobody’s sure.

Did you mean to refer to Youngstown Steel?

No, Youngstown Sheets & Tube v. Sawyer – they were a steel mill however.
