    So Perle thinks that the utter lack of a post-Saddam plan is on Powell, who didn't even have a seat near the table? Holy crap.

    Perle probably went to sleep after writing that, thinking "Boy, I pulled the wool over their eyes." Big, fat, large-mouth bass fake. Another embarassment, in a
    closet overflowing with them.

    Here's another example of fail-ridden writing in the NYT, if you want to call it writing:

    As I said before, Kristol is the Miss Cleo of political punditry. He just makes shit up that sounds good, no matter how full of shit it really is. Call me now!

    Don't bother him. He's busy cleaning Quayle's clubs.

    Is Kristol's lazy writing better or worse than plagarism? Or does he figure the NYT doesn't have a problem quoting sources who are trying to push an agenda with information they don't know to be true and representing it as fact.

    An all-too-common habit among the neocons of the world.

    All. Too. Common.

    Given that I can't see much of this thread, I'm going to guess it wasn't a political commentary on the what-the-fuck-was-that bad design of their sports front today.
