    As a Greek-American, I feel eminently qualified to make the following assertion: Mr. Stephanopoulos' love of the spotlight and the attendant fame is surpassed only by his overwhelming need to don a hairpiece that most closely resembles a wayward wolverine who has come to its final resting place atop the highest ground it could find.

    Yasoo, George!

    I fell in love with George Stephanopoulous when I saw the War Room. And he's still as adorable as he ever was.
    Great head of hair, that one.

    @♥AntiSocialSocialite♥: I met him at the Vancouver Summit and made a complete ass of myself, much to the amusement of the Secret Service agent behind him.

    I was working with Starbucks and when he came up to the counter I helpfully pointed out "this is the regular coffee, that's decaf..." and was desperately fishing for something, ANYTHING to say, just so I had an excuse for looking at him.

    "And these are muffins," I said, waving a hand over said muffins. He looked at me like "oh god, not another one" and walked away while the SS guy snickered into his cufflinks.

    In reply to How ABC News' Brian Ross Cooked His 'Hasan Contacted Al Qaeda' Scoop
    Good work, Mr. Cook. There are some in this thread and in other threads who are criticizing you for devoting so much effort to painting Nidal Hassan as something other than a terrorist. I, for one, haven't come to this conclusion. You certainly aren't engaging in that kind of supposed moralizing here. You are simply calling out a well-known journalist who regularly appears on a nationally-televised nightly news program for a misleading, poorly-sourced, and potentially inflammatory report. It's received widespread attention and has already been misappropriated by those who would like use this incident as evidence for a broader Islamist conspiracy. It's unlikely that Ross will retract the story or even deign to provide any clarification. If the mainstream media refuses to enforce the necessary journalistic accountability, then at least we have lowly bloggers like you to point out the inconsistencies. #nidalmalikhasan

    Your nitwitted nit-pickery is awesome. The guy shot and killed over a dozen people. He did it in the name of Islam. He reached out to a radical cleric in Yemen. He's part of the storm on the horizon. Cry to Keith Olbermann, maybe you can get on MSNBC. #nidalmalikhasan

    @HandsomeBwonderful: Accuracy is important. Misinformation and misleading is just wrong. Remember when Judith Miller of the NYT reported that she had multiple persons reporting that they had found WMDs. Over 100,000 deaths later, and there are no WMDs. Words are important - they are tools to mislead in Brian Ross' hands.

    Plus, if that is your only way to define a terrorist, then we are ALL terrorists. You are an assumed Christian Terrorist. Didn't you sneer at the Muslims?

    There is a clear definition of "terrorism"; please don't try to redefine words so that they meet your small view of the world.
