Al-Reuters caption of the day

By TigerHawk at 8/03/2006 11:01:00 PM

The genuine, original, Reuters caption:

An Iranian girl holds a candle and flag containing the logo of the Lebanese Hizbollah to mourn the Lebanese martyrs in Tehran August 3, 2006.

I suppose I could live with this if the Israeli dead were "heroes," but I see no symmetry in the wire service captions. Color me skeptical, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and speculate that Reuters reserves the honorifics for Israel's enemies.

I notice the shirt's brand new. And, the front of it has Nasrallah's ugly picture. This little girl didn't ask to wear this costume. Nor does she look happy.

All staged. And, all fake. Not much of a crowd, either. Just like what's happening to mother Sheehan, and her shinanigans.

What I'm saying is that the real crowds aren't coming by. Which is amazing, if you think about how people would line up just to be able to smile at the cameras and say "hi ma."

I'll add that I don't think Nasrallah, or the Ahmad nut in Iran has anyone convinced.

While in Cuber, Castro's brother is afraid to be seen in public. Have you noticed? It's not as if there's anyone home who could go our and "comfort the beloved people of Havana." Not enough time spent there? Or is he perpetually to be in his brother's shadow?

Such a strange thing. The MSM keeps telling us they're giving us the news. But all their fakers have lost it with their own people. Even in syria.

And, if you think about it, hitler's minons always needed big parades. This is what happens when the music stops.

At the circus, the clowns were there when the trapeze artists lost their footing. The clowns job is to take your mind off of the splat stains. That's why they come out in small cars. But there are so many that keep on coming, that the crowds start to laugh.

Have you noticed the MSM doesn't even get that much of a reaction?

Cana-Whoopi, indeed.
