The Daily Beast tries to tie Bergdahl to Bush:

“Politically, the administration celebrated negotiating his release after years of failed bids by both the current and former administration…”

Say what? Since Bergdahl didn’t desert until June of 2009, how could the Bush administration have a “failed bid” for his release?

I’m kind of curious about whether mocking from IHTM will force The Daily Beast into making a correction. I’m sure the low-information readers who generally read their shit would never notice, but now that we’ve made an issue of it…

The only way they would even find out about our reaction is if one of their TD trolls reported back to them, right fweetness?

Still no correction so I guess they don’t care about even a blatant factual error.

Maybe Bush had a secret time machine which allowed him to begin the negotiations before Bergdahl took a powder.

It’s an alternate function of the weather machine he used to steer Katrina to New Orleans.

Or it might resemble the time machine Scott Walker used to sign bills before he became governor of Wisconsin(h/t NY Times).

According to the biggest internet analytics site, daily breast’s Global Rank is 18,309,598. Or, just shy of 18,000,000 spots behind ihtm in the Global site rankings.

No problem, the VA sees to it that all veterans that go to the clinics and hospitals get to see CNN, because they keep it on all their TVs.

Math isn’t just hard, it’s masculine, patriarchal, heteronormative, homophobic, too damned white, and just plain hateful!

…But, supposedly, Muslims invented it… so I’m conflicted here.

FTA…”Rice’s comments could work in Bergdahl’s favor, should the convening authority looking at his case recommend a court martial, military officials conceded. It could counter the suggestion that he “is guilty of cowardly conduct,” a clause in the misbehavior-before-the-enemy charge.”

Really? A statement from a political hack, well known for being a liar, would be taken into account in a court-martial proceeding?
