File under: Hamas

#1 I am glad he was released safely. Now excuse me while I prepare to induce electroshock therapy on myself. I'm sure he has something to say that will give me a very bad headache.

#5 No need, GP and I thin you're late anyway... this guy was such a Pali tool that he developed Stockholn Syndrome before being taken hostage.

#8 A conservative is a liberal who was mugged by reality -- isn't there some chance this mug will see the light?

#9 Sorry, no, he's a journo. Waking up and smelling the coffee is strictly verboten to his type. Diplomats also suffer from this...

#10 NYT quotes a gaza resident as saying they liked him, that he is "fair and sympathetic" to their cause. yep, that's the BBC.

#11 I am taking ALL bets that he blames Israel before too long.

Wellll, maybe 3 chances: fat, slim, and none.
