I’m so happy that the New York Post is finally printing in San Francisco. There’s just nothing like it in this country. The front page of the Dec. 7th issue, containing a report on the Iraq Study Group, has pictures of the faces of Baker and Hamiliton pasted onto monkeys’ faces with the headline:
“Surrender Monkeys: Iraq panel urges U.S. to give up”
There really nothing in the story inside to justify that headline (although I wish there was; giving up at this point doesn’t seem like such a terrible option, compared to all the others) but the Post doesn’t care. It’s a great cover, making a political point.
Now why can’t the supposedly “liberal” dailies act like this?
