The establishment media usually plays up violence in Iraq, but they blacked out coverage of the bar brawl between CNN war reporter Michael Ware and civilian contractor Joe Burkett over the companionship of CBS newsbabe Lara Logan:
The wife of Burkett, a US Embassy worker, claims the sultry 37-year-old correspondent seduced him while bullets flew overhead.
This being Protein Wisdom, I must note the obvious “hotel journalism” and “foxhole” punchlines.

Oh, brother. This is news?
Normally, I enjoy the Post’s stupidity. But this is beyond stupid.
What’s next, reports on the fight two high-school cheerleaders had over the football hero?
Comment by Ouroboros on 6/26 @ 3:23 pm #
Since this involves journalism one can probably work in the term ‘deep throat’ as well..
Kind of a stretch but it could be done..
Comment by Karl on 6/26 @ 3:23 pm #
I was a little surprised that it wasn’t Page Six material.
Comment by kelly on 6/26 @ 3:24 pm #
No pictures? I mean, come on, it involved a “sultry 37-year-old correspondent.”
Comment by Karl on 6/26 @ 3:24 pm #
“stretch?”
Comment by Karl on 6/26 @ 3:24 pm #
kelly, both links have pics.

On a related note, d’ya know that the newsbabe that SF Maj. Archie Gates was strappin at the beginning of Three Kings wasnt credited? You know what that means, right? She had to bone George Clooney for scale…

“..the fight two high-school cheerleaders had over the football hero?”
If theyre slapping and pulling hair and ripping each other’s cheerleader outfits to shreds.. I’m all for it… With pics of course..
Comment by kelly on 6/26 @ 3:36 pm #
Ah, yes. Links. They’re the orangey highlightey thingies, right?
Comment by ProggressiveHero on 6/26 @ 3:37 pm #
Damn I would low crawl thru 2 miles of sewer pipe to get to her foxhole.

“The “60 Minutes” reporter and former swimsuit model”
So they show her in fatigues.
Comment by daleyrocks on 6/26 @ 3:51 pm #
Lara Logan? Oh yeah, she’s that foreign whorespondent that takes her job so seriously.
Comment by ProggressiveHero on 6/26 @ 3:59 pm #
I bet she was getting alot of facialtime.
Comment by Pablo on 6/26 @ 3:59 pm #
If it involves Michael Ware getting punched in the face, I’m interested.

Another successful surge. Good on ya!

Google it.

Lara Logan? In the tank for CBS.
Comment by Karl on 6/26 @ 4:28 pm #
In the tank swimsuit for Michael Ware.
Comment by Dan Collins on 6/26 @ 4:35 pm #
Does the Army have any tankinis?
Comment by ProggressiveHero on 6/26 @ 4:35 pm #
Well I guess Michael Ware truly earned his stripes as an embedded reporter.
Comment by ProggressiveHero on 6/26 @ 4:36 pm #
Too bad she didn’t service a serviceman! Can we question her patriotism now?
Comment by largenfirm on 6/26 @ 4:55 pm #
“Yesterday, CBS announced, without a hint of irony, that [Lara Logan] was given a new Washington assignment as chief foreign-affairs correspondent.”
Seriously?
Well, then, duh!
Comment by happyfeet on 6/26 @ 4:57 pm #
Michael Ware hates my country.

Thanks, Karl. Bodacious!

“Lara Logan”…
Wasn’t she one of Superman’s girlfriends?
Comment by twolaneflash on 6/26 @ 5:23 pm #
Ashley sure has a load on her for a three year old. Daddy listened to his little head. She & Mommy are paying a dear price for his diddling. Lovely long-legged Lara Logan is a narcisstic sociopath, a wrecker of lives. I’ve seen that tiger before. The first time I viewed it clinically was psychiatry rotation in medical school. Very seductive, manipulative, and destructive pathology when cased inside a beautiful woman. It is all about her.
Joe & Mike should form a support group. They are hardly Lara Logan’s only victims out there.
Please tell me that Lara Logan is her self-chosen stage name: LL, Lois Lane, Lana Lang, women who’ve banged Superman.

Well…see, that’s the point.
Real men don’t fight over women.
Real men fight off women*.
* not all women…

Nope..Still questioning yours.. but you did come up with a few good lines there.. That’s worth a few points in my book. Anybody that can crack wise cant be all bad. (but I still think your Jeff..)
Comment by ProggressiveHero on 6/26 @ 7:07 pm #
I hope she doesn’t play hardball with her guests.
Comment by ProggressiveHero on 6/26 @ 7:20 pm #
She will soon be in a porno entitled “Iraqi Freedom 2, Ejaculation Accomplished”, with General PenetrateUs, Brig Gen Dirty Sanches and Dick Cheney. Her name will be Barbara SwallowedHers.

You forgot “riding dirty” Moseley, flying live nukes without following procedure.
I’m pretty confident this white house has a handle on the armed services.
Comment by Log Cabin on 6/26 @ 9:57 pm #
Seriously, can any woman really be a “home wrecker”? If she can seduce the husband, the home life wasn’t all that terrific to begin with, not really.
And the fact that a CBS ‘journalist’ is the type of person that casually sluts around with multiple partners for fun is not exactly a big shock, either.
Comment by maggie katzen on 6/26 @ 9:59 pm #
tsk, tsk. I’m thinking maybe it was some kind of Rovian plot to repay Ware for laughing at McCain during a press conference.
(hope I’m remembering that right)
Comment by happyfeet on 6/26 @ 9:59 pm #
Women can be home wreckers, for real. See when you know a guy is vulnerable and especially also you know he has children it’s wrong no matter how lonely you are to say hey you wanna? Let’s look out for each other out there.
Comment by Ouroboros on 6/26 @ 10:26 pm #
Oh yeah.. I’ve tried that “Hey, ya wanna?” line before.. All it’s ever gotten me was 3 EEO complaints, 2 mandatory Sexual Harassment Re-education classes & $30,000 in dental bills to repair the 5 permanent teeth that got slapped loose.. yeah.. it worked real well..
Comment by Roboc on 6/26 @ 11:57 pm #
Yeah, I’m sure it was a big brawl. There were no reports of injury, were there? What did they do, mess each other’s hair? Give them dualing pistols!
Comment by Salt Lick on 6/27 @ 3:49 am #
A mud-wrestling match between Lara Logan and Megyn Kelley is long overdue. I question their patriotism.
Comment by MarkD on 6/27 @ 6:58 am #
Can someone explain the “brawled over her honor” comment in the Post, please? I don’t think she, or they, know the meaning of the word.
Some still do. The Marine Corps just convicted the last of four soon-to-be-ex Marines for lesser offences associated with the rape of a young Japanese woman in Hiroshima after the Japanese police declined to prosecute. The new privates will get Bad Conduct or Dishonorable discharges after they serve their time. The article I read didn’t mention it explicitly, but I’m fairly sure the “almost twenty year active duty” pair better count on not getting pensions when they get out of prison.
Promises actually mean something to some people.

Alright, she is pretty damn hotttt.
She is a non-African-American South African.
Comment by Neo on 6/27 @ 10:07 am #
There have been question raised about the MSM coverage of Iraq and how the amount of coverage has gone down as victory seems more and more within grasp.
While many believe this to be bias .. this may be an alternate explanation.
I guess they had other “affairs” [pun intended] to mind.
Mind you Iraq can be a dangerous place without “protection.”
Comment by McGehee on 6/27 @ 12:05 pm #
I wonder if it’s possible for Iraq to receive a negative amount of coverage (in the mathematical sense, not as in “an amount of negative coverage”).
Then again, I suppose outright lies (e.g., Beauchamp, et al) qualify.
