She was a parody of a valley girl newsanchor. I was cringing. Phares was extremely gracious, but seemed a little freaked out by her complete lack of knowledge of the history, iconography, or indeed basic physics, of the Middle East.

Hopey new year.

He is a gentleman and absolute scholar, and one of the nicest, most genuine folks around. The nitwits at Foggy Bottom should learn from him. The Crackpot News Network (also, I am embarrassed to say, based in Atlanta) makes me meshuganah. When we travel I avoid CNN-Int'l because it gives me indigestion. As to the amateur who did the interview: maybe she should join the party I want to throw at Sderot with Cynthia McKinney, Cindy Sheehan, Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu, the King of Jordan, John Dingell, and, of course, "Hot Legs" Cwis Matthews, and Robert Fisk. And maybe then they will shut up a while and listen to the howling missiles that came from our friends through the Philaphi tunnels.
