Judith Miller Finally Lands in the ‘Right’ Place (takes job at conservative Manhattan Institute)
Source: New York Magazine

Judith Miller, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times correspondent that pushed all the Bush administration spin about the (so-far non-existent) existence of WMD in Iraq, has finally come home. She's taken a job with the friends of "greater economic choice and individual responsibility" at the Manhattan Institute. She’s written for their City Journal quarterly before, so look for more stories from her on the cop beat. “The Manhattan Institute is doing pioneering work in policing and counter-terrorism,” Miller said in a release today. “As an adjunct fellow, I hope to continue writing about how best to enhance national security and public safety without sacrificing our freedom and civil liberties.” Or sacrificing her journo ethics — Neo-Con propaganda goes down much better when it's properly labeled.

2. Adjunct Fellow? She must mean Junked Fellow.
And I'll take her advice on "how best to enhance national security and public safety without sacrificing our freedom and civil liberties" the day I start taking Larry Craig's advice about bathroom etiquette...

10. Hi Patsy!
I'm still watching, and I check in on you guys late at night when I can. I miss you- I'm trying to cut down on my DU addiction and engage more with my hubbie at dinnertime!

Keith has moved beyond entertainment, IMO, and is doing a great service for our country. I hope the Dems were listening tonight!

:hi:

17. Wow
It took me a while to find this thread again.

I hope the Dems were listening too. I also hope Bush takes his advice and resigns.

I understand the DU addiction thing, but I've also asked to move dinner to either 7 p.m. or 9 p.m. :)

If you get the chance, do stop in. I'm sure everyone would love to see you.

:hug:

7. Oh those aspens, with their roots all connected
Nazis and Bushies, they take care of their own...and sometimes they "take care" of their own, but only when absolutely necessary.

12. Yeah, given that she is pushing sixty and Fund is
a salamander, the outcome of such a a union would, indeed, likely much resemble biblical demons, fit only to infest pigs.

13. Judith, you're not QUALIFIED to write about national security or civil liberties!
Edited on Thu Sep-06-07 09:42 PM by rocknation
Everything you wrote about WMDs were LIES, and you weren't even clever enough to make them up yourself! What are you going to use for credibility? Or integrity? Or trustworthiness?

First Jeff Gannon self-publishes a book, now this?

18. Isn't her husband connected with New York Review of Books?
Jason Epstein was editor of NYRB, as I recall, although I'm not sure he is now.

Cancelled my subscription to NYRB when I heard...

20. Yep. If the Right has only one virtue, it's loyalty uber alles.
You shill for me on Fox News, I make you White House spokesman.

You help he hide my drunk-driving arrest from the public, I make you White House counsel.

You lie to the public about Global Warming, I hire you to my energy corporation.

You give me legal cover to torture and imprison without due process and search and seize without a warrant, I make you Attorney General.

You donate to my campaign, I appoint you head of the Mine Safety Health Administration.

You launder White House lies about WMD through your newspaper, I hire you to my think tank.

and on and on and on and on ...
