Judy Miller joins RW "Think" tank
The woman who was responsible for spreading the lies of our Worst President Ever, GW Bush, about (imaginary) Iraqi wmds has finally fessed up and joined a RW shill machine:
Judith Miller Finally Lands in the ‘Right’ Place


Judith Miller, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times correspondent that pushed all the Bush administration spin about the (so-far non-existent) existence of WMD in Iraq, has finally come home. She's taken a job with the friends of "greater economic choice and individual responsibility" at the Manhattan Institute. She’s written for their City Journal quarterly before, so look for more stories from her on the cop beat. “The Manhattan Institute is doing pioneering work in policing and counter-terrorism,” Miller said in a release today. “As an adjunct fellow, I hope to continue writing about how best to enhance national security and public safety without sacrificing our freedom and civil liberties.” Or sacrificing her journo ethics — Neo-Con propaganda goes down much better when it's properly labeled.

—Geoffrey Gray

1. Couldn't she have found it within her to be the slightest bit original?
I mean, I could tell she was going to end up at such a place for quite some time now, ever since her martyr act and leaving the NY Times. But my having decided this, in spite of my being often very right about a great many things, did not make this result inevitable. She could have lifted a finger and made even the slightest effort to be original, to make something of herself beyond the worst stereotyping of her lazy stenography and be something beyond a... lazy stenographer for right-wing propaganda on terrorism.

In other words, she could have done something other than continued the job she was doing while nominally working for the New York Times.

Obviously that's just too much work for her.

This was just about as "surprising" when Tony Snowjob left Faux "news" to be GW Hoover's spokesbitch. :eyes:

8. Let's just hope that Judy's vacuous brain-pan doesn't suck ALL the oxygen out of their RW tank.
:rofl: :P :blush:
