[a yawning confusion]

Topic: Politics
Posted by: Josh

Wonkette has an update on the Story of the Boy who Yawned. The video wasn't faked, but apparently the White House response was: CNN now claims the Bushies never said word one about the affair. So my apologies to the White House for buying into the story.

And this is yet one more reason to stop taking CNN seriously. I gave up on CNN back at the start of the Iraq war, when even FOX News was taking a critical look at the slowing advance, but all CNN could talk about was the nonstory of Jessica Lynch, which had some compelling human interest and about zero political or military importance. And anyway, BBC World kicks both their asses. And has anchor Mishal Hussein, who is so dreamy. If I had a locker, her picture would be pasted to the inside of the door.
