”In a brilliant bank shot Michael Goldfarb, spokesman for the McCain Straight Talk Express sinks the Press is Left Leaning and Suppresses Information ball, and as the cue ball came off the cushion, it forcibly ‘kissed’ the Obama Associates with Terrorists ball, which caromed directly into the side RIGHT pocket. The crowed went wild, holding up two fingers in the V for victory sign, they cried out in unison: a duo, a duo!!!

Obviously a multicultural crowd. From Lex’s link to Wikipedia:

Khalidi was born in New York. He received a B.A. from Yale University, where he was a member of Wolf’s Head Society,[2] in 1970,[3] and a D. Phil. from Oxford University in 1974[4] and spent many years as a professor and director of both the Center for Middle Eastern Studies and the Center for International Studies at the University of Chicago before joining the Columbia faculty. He has also taught at Georgetown University, Lebanese University, and the American University of Beirut.

The Wiki blurb deserves a careful read, and it does, in an even handed way describe the back bitting politics of the Middle East. It also points out Senator McCain’s one step removed involvement with Professor Khalidi. A more detailed description of this relationship can be found here to wit:

The Republican party’s congressionally funded international-networking organization, the International Republican Institute–long and ably chaired by John McCain and headed by McCain’s close friend, the capable Lorne Craner–has taken an interest in West Bank matters. IRI funded an ambitious project, called the Palestine Center, that Khalidi helped to support. Khalidi served on the Center’s board of directors. The goal of that project, shared by Khalidi and McCain, was the promotion of civic consciousness and engagement and the development of democratic values in the West Bank. (My italics)

The snip is from Scott Horton’s convulsive ink (aka pixel) fit as he takes on Andrew McCarthy’s (National Review) campaign to link Obama to all sorts of vile non-patriotic creatures that inhabited Hyde Park during Obama’s Chicago days. But then, what can you expect when two lawyer’s decide to chew on the same bone…

Sigh, in desperate times, desperate people will do desperate things. A round of applause to Lex, who loves to spear the left leaning press, but gave us a link to Rashid Khalidi, so that we can understand what this tempest is all about.

Just not to the subscribers and the public that needs to know.

How so Very True!

11B40: You’re on the money, that bill will come up and pass as sure as the sun rises in the east……

So, you want me to believe that you thought the Freedom of Information Act was a two-way street?

Wait until the media gets President Obama and his Congress to pass the reporter’s shield law.
