I have been sitting back and waiting to see who would pick it up and start shoveling it around the international MSM.
Believe me, tomorrow there will be plenty more here in Italy. Hell, they may even drag in Eurotrib which is part of the vast leftwing conspiracy that controls the blogosphere and the MSM.
Did you know that not only is Wilson a French spy, but Waxman is a front for LaRouche? Plus Jay Rockefeller is a partner in the French Cogema that mines uranium in Niger? Or that the Niger uranium actually got to Iraq and Jay is covering it up with the lefty cabal? Bush and Berlusconi are poor innocent victims of the lefty plot to dominate the world by fooling them into going to war.
No kidding, it's the sort of stuff available in the rightwing press here in Italy.
I have read the misnomered "AmericanThinker" article that Jerome took the piss out of. It was hard getting past the vision of Martino confessing in court. (He never has been arrested, indicted, tried, nor has he confessed anything.)
But I did check timelines and have noted that the "freerepublic" article came out just before the Italian spin on October 25th. I still haven't traced the Rockefeller-LaRouche-Waxman-LeftCoaster-KnightRidder cabal source. Suggestions welcome.
Well, the leadership of the bigger right-wing party here in Hungary used Berlusconi's Forza Italia (in every detail - even translating the name) as model to re-organise their base. (With this move, they turned an earlier Hungarian joke into reality: "due to dissatisfaction with their work, Politician X deselected the party membership.") *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
BTW, speaking of Italian perceptions of Hungarian connections to Italian organised crime, do you know anything (especially anything recent) about the strange case of Tamás Somogyi - the Hungarian entrepreneur accused of having been an arms dealer for the Fiat Uno gang, and imprisoned by the Italian justice system in an apparent case of serial justizmord (i.e. all instances repeating the errors), and only Strasbourg ordering a re-trial in 2004, after a five-year ordeal?
(I may have missed what happened to the retrial, and Google can't find me an update in Hungarian news sites as the name is too common...) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
I personally prefers la Repubblica, but I read Eurotrib... Italian media, and especially those belonging to Mr. B, are quite good at the game "eurasia is at war with oceania". La répartie est dans l'escalier. Elle revient de suite.
