A Sign Of the Times

Per Andrew Sullivan, that photographer responsible for the rather famous picture of the napalmed Vietnamese girl is responsible for those photos of Paris Hilton crying her eyes out on the way to prison.

War correspondent to paparazzi.  The media knows where their bread is buttered.

napalmed Vietnamese girl is responsible for those photos of Paris Hilton crying her eyes out on the way to prison.

“Burned” by the media??


For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Proof: wake up, I have to leave soon to visit my famiuly for the day, so I cannot keep you up to date. According to Andrew Sullivan, the photographer that took the photo of the Vietnamese girl burned by napalm several decades ago, )(he) also took the picture of Paris Hilton. It was not the girl burned by napalm that took the picture of Hilton.

Romper room version of my comment:
Just as he took a picture of a girl who was burned by napalm, the same photographer took a picture of a girl burned by the media…

My fault for truncating the quote :

I did it, 2H9.  We’re having some problems with the control panel and I was testing from your account.
