And didn't the Italians used to be fascists?

What's sad is Fox News could easily run this headline and the story, word for word. I can hear it now. "An 'un-named source tells Fox News" and "some say" this or that. The Onion and Fox News is a very very fine line.

no discussion...think of Wolf Blitzer saying, "we have to leave it there".

honestly most pundits would not see the difference between the seriousness of a sandwich gaffe or a declaration of war.

and if you think they would? you wouldn't know it from how most of them talk --Chuck Todd, you'd probably do a poll asking whether the sandwich gaffe has harmed our military readiness.
