Baltimore Sun Criticizes "Gleeful" Coverage of Zarqawi Slay

Guess they weren't watching CNN.

Then again, neither was I. But I hear they played Elton John's "Funeral For a Friend" throughout the morning.

The media's rooting interests aren't terribly well-disguised. It's amusing that the only time they can castigate themselves and their colleagues for "inappropriate" gleefulness is upon the death of a psychopathic butcher and sworn US enemy.

What headline would the Baltimore Sun suggest run upon the discovery of Hitler's suicide? Hitler, Mistress Found Dead In Bunker; World Mourns Loss of Dog Lover, Artist, Writer, and Dreamer.

It's astonishing that the liberal media has managed to convince itself that it's too conservative.

But then, how could anyone disagree with a deep thinker like Steven Colbert?

Nevermind, I Got It: The dialogue stuck in my head is from a Just Shoot Me, where Maya's high-school flame Kenny comes back to New York, and proudly announces he's landed an acting job on a soap opera, playing a "Racist Judge."

Kenny: He's a funny old bird. An idealist, a dreamer....

Maya: You said he was a racist.

Kenny: Yes, he dreams of an all-white society.
