The Chicago Way doesn't play well on the national stage, much less the international. OT6F, that didn’t occur to me, and (sadly enough) I find the idea plausible.

They publicly supported George Bush. Am I really accusing them of being that petty? Any organization that publicly disses a major news network and attempts to get other networks to pledge not to pick up on any story broken on the offending outlet has already demonstrated how petty they are. The fact that gambit blew up in their faces doesn't mean they aren't now smart enough not to engage in high school grade insults just to make some stupid point. That it will leave us likely high and dry in waging this war will all be blamed on, you guessed it, "the mess the Bush administration left us". But I'm sure his speech from West Point on Tuesday will make it all right again... I really hate these SOBs.

When I'm elected President, the very first call Imma gonna make will be to the Prime Minister of Britain, and I don't care which party he's in.
