MSNBC's Tom Curry on Kerry Campaign's "Scorn for 'puppet' Allawi"
Is it journalism? Is it an editorial? Is it a "journ-itorial?"

This seems less of a "report" on what is being said than an indictment of the Kerry campaign for not seeing Allawi as some kind of hero, beyond reproach. Maybe he's risking his own life, but maybe he's a Bush puppet, too...how exactly can a rational, civilized person not being fed by the Rove & Hughes news media OR the far-far-far left wing tinfoil hat left "see him as a decent man?" Can a "decent man" also be a Bush puppet?

"Stakes are high in Bush-Kerry debate
With nation at war, expect emotional confrontation"
By Tom Curry, National affairs writer

"Scorn for 'puppet' Allawi
Kerry and his spokesman also have opened the Democratic candidate to a Bush debate jab by expressing scorn for Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, who at risk to his own life has tried to lead Iraq to some semblance of stability and consensual government.

“The last thing you want to be seen as is a puppet of the United States, and you can almost see the hand underneath the shirt today moving the lips," said Kerry spokesman Joe Lockhart last week after Allawi addressed a joint session of Congress.

Americans need not believe that Allawi is the reincarnation of George Washington in order to see him as a decent man trying to move his country to something better than Saddam Hussein’s despotism."

1. Turn that shit off, you'll be doing yourself a favor.
What do you expect GE is making billions on weapons?
