Jack Abramoff gets sentenced today in the SunCruz fraud case down in Florida. We’ll have updates as the story develops.
Wow. This is sad, pathetic, hilarious and altogether true to form. Hugh Hewitt, whose show I used to go on to yell and get yelled at, wants courage props for broadcasting from a studio in New York City.
Some of us hang here every day. Even my dog Simon does.
Busted!
There are some moments when collaborative journalism really does shine.
A commenter at Kos — jem6x — seems to have found the conclusive evidence that Howard Kaloogian’s photograph of “Baghdad” is in a suburb of Istanbul.
Late Update: Okay, put a fork in him. This guy’s done. Below I’ve taken the image of peaceful “Baghdad” which candidate Kaloogian posted on his website and said he himself took. Below that I added the image of the Istanbul suburb unearthed by the commenter on Kos’s site. (The image is of the Istanbul suburb of Bakirkoy and comes originally from this site.)
As I’ve tried to note here with these arrows, this is at least a four point match.
Late Update: Howard Kaloogian’s Baghdad bamboozlement should probably generate some renewed traffic to Howardisaliar.com.
The Latest: Kaloogian blames the “Baghdad” picture bamboozlement on the webmaster.
Meta-Bamboozlement: Kaloogian defended the picture as genuine before he pooh-poohed it as fake. Was for it before he was against it, you might say.
Candidate Howard Kaloogian no longer speaking to the press about “Baghdad” bamboozle.
Howard Kaloogian’s long history of Iraq bamboozlement. The phony photo is only the latest.
And there’s more!
Kaloogian speaks: “Everybody in the group, we all shared pictures. I’m sorry, I don’t know who took it … You’re being really picky on this stuff. It’s not that big a deal. It was a mistake. I’m sorry.”
It’s like the president wants a regime change mulligan. He says the violence in Iraq is all Saddam Hussein’s fault.
