I watched BBC Newsnight on C-Span tonight....I was jealous.
I want to be a Brit for a while and get to see and hear real media. I loved the show, but they should have really gone after that arrogant David Frum more than they did.

He and the guy they interviewed about the Iraq contracts absolutely embarrassed us to death. They were so condescending to the BBC. I was stunned. I wished the anchor would have attacked them more. Guess he couldn't.

You go, Brits, and I will have a vicarious moment or two watching you guys be free.

1. But Frum tried to accuse the BBC of being antibush and presenting
a skewed view of our pResident. What a jerk.

2. Frum is Canadian ...
So my country has to take responsibility for that -- the US and UK shouldn't have to answer for him!
