Hostage Released. No Video.

* sigh *
An agent of El Libranofesto wanders into camp, and what do our erstwhile brave neo-con bloggers do with the opportunity?
Gush.
What a bunch of all hat, no cattle, chickenhawk, warblogging wannabes they turned out to be.
Not just one, but two shiny brass rings went swinging slowly by …. plump, juicy low-hanging fruit… and they turned the bitch loose. That wasn’t just a couple million in ransom cash flying out the window, kiddies – that was your chance at gaining a sympathetic voice at the Toronto Star.
Antonia Zerbisias has never met a bomb building, hostage taking, sword-wielding “insurgent” she couldn’t cheer for. And we didn’t even get a fake hostage video out of it.

    Both Kate and Queen Z seem to have misinterpreted the behaviour of the VRWC Toronto crowd that evening. The adjective both are fumbling for is “gentlemanly.” How sad that it has become so rare as to be unrecognizable to them.

  4. Hey, why weren’t you there, Kate? Don’t give me that feeble “I live 2,000 miles away from Toronto” excuse. (So do I, after all.)
