The President is a loony
Blair talked Bush out of bombing al-Jazeera: report - Yahoo! News
Does it bother anyone that the President of the United States is an insane idiot? Or is it just me? I mean, even as a joke this is beyond the pale -- and I don't buy the "it was only a joke" line.
Predicted winger reaction: It didn't happen, but if it did, good, there's nothing wrong with blowing up al-Jazeera and we should blow up CBS while we're at it.

According to the BBC, a "White House official" says, "We are not going to dignify something so outlandish with a response."
The fact that they aren't outright denying it is kind of scary.

Well if CBS goes, NPR's offices are next. No wait, they're working another angle there.

Frank Gaffney, pitching for the wingnuts, already gave the "That's ridiculous, and he should have done it," response.
