Judith Miller Takes Job At Manhattan Institute

New York:

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."

She'll be writing about non-existent threats to further the Military Industrial Complex.

DTMDs...Do­mesti Terrorists of Mass Destruction.

She was a mole planted in the NYT to beat the drums of war.

[LIR]

Now that's a good way to describe her.

[wmbear]

I LIKE THE IMAGE OF A MOLE BEATING A DRUM...

It kind of fits.

[Dap]

Does this surprise anyone, I mean... REALLY! That this *HACK* has wound up at a conservative stink-tank?

[alguien]

excuse my confusion but if someone is to join a "think tank," doesn't that mean they have to, you know, think?

all judy ever did was type what the whitehouse told her to type.

[LittleBrother]

I believe that the Manhattan Institute will accept, in lieu of thinking, the wearing of a tank top.

That's why you'll occasionally hear an MI fellow admit, "I'm a little better on the tankin' than on the thinkin'!"

[kellygrrrl]

Judith Miller = stenographer

[TheHandyman]

It's another scam! See, they actually have no way to tell whether see is really thinking when she is there. So they just tell her what to write and she does it. Its not like it is a real job where you actually have to produce something. Imagine all the CEO's of all the corporations in the world in one room all looking at each other going "why am I here?" They don't know. They don't actually do anything either. But there is one thing they know for sure, if they fuck up, they will get more money to leave the corporation than they would have made if they stayed and they will make more money from the corporations they want to hire them to ruin their corporation!

Judy Miller is like one of them except she will get less money than a CEO. The Shrub will soon join her but as her boss. Then they will get together and stare into each others eyes and there will be absolutely nothing going on in either of their brains.

[WoodyCPM]

Love it, great rant. So true. Funny and sad all at the same time.

[LIR]

Judy, the Steno girl...and that's an insult to all the excellent steno girls out there who can actually transcribe meaningful statements­...none of what Judy purveyed was worth the paper it was printed on...buttr­essing lies for the neocon agenda...w­ay to go, Judy, you will be right at home!

[wmbear]

THEY EITHER HAVE TO THINK...

Or maybe just tank. I think Judy Miller is on the latter track.

[OrvilleHLarson]

Piss on Judith Miller, this purveyor of warmongering neocon swill.

[kellygrrrl]

Judith Miller is such a fantastic fiction writer. I was hoping she was going to write a sequel to My Pet Goat

[wmbear]

"PET GOAT PART DEUX: MY PET SCAPEGOAT"­...

I believe is her working title.

[waiguoren]

Ya gotta love that "greater economic choice and individual responsibi­lity." !

Could the proprietors of Freedom's Land have a lower estimate of the national intelligence ?

Could they be correct?

[Grannysue]

Oh no, say it ain't so, Judy is a RIGHT WINGER, who would a thought it!

[MichaelDeane]

Well we had a clue from the quality of her work. She's a moron who sucked up literally and figuratively to power. Like Bob Woodward, she is not as bright as she thinks she is.

[LIR]

I made the mistake of buying her book about chemical weapons...­God, was I A FOOL!

Duped by this phony, lying wench who was really a stooge for the neocon agenda...

She should have been kept in the clink for 20 years!

[Ladyrantsalot]

Ah, the liberal media.

[LIR]

You like this lying tramp who fed the Times lies she got from that embezzling ninkempoop, Chalabi?

Ah, troll neocons.

[Wilbur]

Read her profile and see her past posts, LIR. She was being facetious with her "Ah, the liberal media" post.

Conservative "think" tank? Should be called "reaction" tank. Conservatives are incapable of thinking.

[texassouffle]

I didn't see this in the "Liberal" New York Times. Did I miss something?

__________­__________­__________­__________­__________

At first glance I thought the headline read, "Judith Miller Takes Job As Manhattan Prostitute"-- and I thought, "The more things change, the more they remain the same!"

[curlytop]

That's a good one Little Bro. And afer a root canal this morning, I needed a laugh!

[MadCow]

"I hope to continue writing about how best to enhance national security and public safety without sacrificing our freedom and civil liberties" Miller

Shameless bitch.

[dadw5boys]

This is a pay off just like the $5 million dollar home in LA that they bought RonaldRegean after he left office.
Deregulation was a huge trnasfer of wealth along with is tax cuts. He was rewarded openly.

[ProfessorDuh]

Seconded. She's a dirty little neocon shill who cowered behind the First Amendment to protect her lies.
Well, at least you'll be remembered in journalism class, Miller — as an example of a failed, compromised reporter who was a disgrace to American journalism.

[tommygolstch]

isn't conservative and 'think tank' oxymorons?

[LIR]

Right you are...she is a whore of the first order...fo­r Bush.

[ProfessorDuh]

Jason Blair did far less damage than this crooked bitch.

[deke33]

A question taken from Thomas Alva Edison should best be posed to Ms. Miller, "What hath Judith wrought?"

[unitron]

You have confused Edison with Samuel F. B. Morse (the telegraph guy)

[WoodyCPM]

And what about her editors at the great Gray Lady? And the publisher? Surely they are equally shameless bastards, no? Someone has to select and publish her lies. The NYTimes is one of the most overrated newspapers in the country. Liberal, indeed!

[godlessclif]

The he VRWC bought the Times long ago.
The fact that they hired an Editor from Alabama
was one clue.
The fact the Times started printing lies was another.

[The Brunie Fund for New York Journalism]
Can anyone find out who these people are?
They fund Judith Miller's (and virtually every other writer's) "research" at the City Journal, the newspaper of the MI.
They seem, as a tax exempt? philanthropic fund, difficult to research.
