The prism

Michael "1-2-3-4 What are we waitin' for" Ledeen yesterday at Moron Junction:

MSM Today [Michael Ledeen]

Anybody else notice that the Washington Post today has not a single tribute to a fallen warrior?...

Apparently, Ledeen was too busy masturbating about killlin' him some Iranians to note that Gary Trudeau once again repeated his tribute to the fallen in Iraq. But then again, how could a liberal be sorted out for any kind of praise, after all he oppposes the war.

And opposition of war was what the Corner's mouth-breathers always detect, unless it comes from the NY Post, Sun, or FoxNews. Only those who demand more death, are allowed to honor those who die. As defined by them.

Many of you may remember that in the Spring of 2004, Nightline did a show devoted to a reading of the names of "the fallen" of Iraq. The very thing that Ledeen went after the Post about, and how did the Cornholers respond?

Well, there's this one from Michael Graham:

That's Ted Koppel's comment on the upcoming "Nightline" show that will be nothing but a roll call of Americans killed by hostile fire in Iraq. For Ted Koppel, an avid Bush-hater and opponent of the war, the only part of the war he sees is the cost. What about the benefits? Too bad Nightline won't be reading the names of the people who AREN'T dead today because Saddam is gone and Al Qaeda is on the run.

Wow, that sounded trite more than two years ago -- sounds like some sort of tragi-comic flashback today...you know like electing another Bush to be President.

Or "the Derb" obviously angry that Koppel wasn't discussing the nobility of Hillary Duff in a wet T-Shirt or something:

Ted's Tilt [John Derbyshire]
On the eve of the war-dead-exploiting "Nightline," is it unthinkable to consider Ted Koppel as biased to the left?

But wait, that's not all...there's another Graham:

Ted Koppel as Tom Cruise [Tim Graham]
Is there anyone in America who believes that Ted Koppel is going to dedicate an entire "Nightline" on Friday to reading the names of our war dead as an objective, even patriotic exercise? Let's hope not. It is precisely timed (not only to goose the Nielsen numbers for sweeps) but as Koppel's little "Mission Accomplished" anniversary middle-finger salute to the President.

Somehow Michael Ledeen never stepped forward to defend the broadcast.

I bet he can hardly wait for the faces of the fallen from the Iran invasion show.
