You can’t even find it on the front page of their website where such “important” matters as “Homeless Man Poses as Student” are linked. You have to do a full search to locate it, but it’s there — although it is more than a little bit understated, because you’d think, when the WaPo’s headline reads “Most Iraqis Remain Committed…” they were talking about fifty-two or three percent of the vote, maybe even sixty, but they’re actually talking about 80%! The actual writer of the article is far less circumspect.]]>Thu, 20 Jan 2005 23:40:33 -0500<![CDATA[Roger L. Simon]]>https://pjmedia.com/roger-l-simon/2005/01/20/palming-the-ace-n206468
