Recently, there’s been a rash of imaginary decapitations committed by non-existent Iraqi militants with the complicity of the credulous and lazy MSM. Bob Owens was able to get a couple of the outlets who peddled the latest phantom atrocity to retract their stories, but just as Scooter Libby’s trial and sentence summons comparison with the treatment of Sandy Berger, the contrast between the MSM’s fervid treatment of the fictional tale and complete disinterest in Michael Yon’s documentation of actual al-Qaeda decapitations of, until recently, real live women and children is illustrative. I suggest that we inquire of news outlets why they haven’t reported Yon’s findings (not that Glenn(s) Greenwald would believe them, coming from firsthand accounts of military).
 What I’m trying to say is that when I’m finally decapitated, I hope that you will find a very hot actress to play my wife in the movie version.
And make sure that there’s slow motion running in revealing outfits. Because that’s how I would have wanted it.
 Oh, and I wonder what Cernig will say now.
I have yet to see one MSM report on the AQ massacre that Yon reported on, and have been forcing myself to watch their drivel just to see if they get around to it.
Dan – I think I would request either Kera Knightley or Padma from Top Chef on Bravo to play my wife in the ABC made for TV movie. Oops, since my better half is Vietnamese, will have to make it Lucy Liu or Mai Ling.
Noted, in case you’re beheaded before I.
What impresses me most, infidels, is the way some of your media outlets have latched on to these stories and castigated their colleagues at the AP and Rueters in hopes of forcing them to improve their coverage of the war. The NRO and the Weekly Standard and even your own internet driven Hot Air have all been relentless in… Ooops. Never mind.
Thanks, Dan. And while you are at it, if you could get them to have John Holmes play me, that would not bother me too much either.
And I should not forget the Wall Street Journal, they have repeatedly… they have.. Okay, sorry I brought it up, infidels. Enjoy the media you have built.

Dan,
That is a phenomenal picture. Thanks for that!
Oh, and Padma is about to be single.
Scotch–Yes, well, my standards are lower than Jeff’s. Which is one of the most endearing things about me.
Padma is a vision of loveliness. I watch that horrific show just to listen to her melodic voice.
Talk about a strategically place carachter…
Angelina–Dan, how could you do this to me?
Fabio:L Youcan’t event spell charhcter anymore.
ahem–What? She’s adopted more third-world children with less fuss than Madonna.
Padma from Top Chef on Bravo probably would not take the role, given that she’s divorcing Salman Rushdie.
The story here seemed rather instructive…http://powerlineblog.com/archives/018127.php
