No good deed....

Via Wonkette, possibly the best photo to come out of the election this year.

I should probably stop blathering about election-year war-time journalism. Meh. Later. First an interesting confluence.

Farnaz Fassihi, the Wall Street Journal reporter who penned that eloquent e-mail about Iraq (which is getting kudos), has apparently been told not to report any more about Iraq until after the election. Sure seems like a punitive measure for something not even intended for outside consumption. And while it screams of excess, it does seem right to err on the side of avoiding a conflict or lack of objectivity.

Meanwhile, at last check, Fox News Channel's Carl "Putting words in Kerry's mouth" Cameron was "reprimanded" and is still on the Kerry beat.

So in case you just tuned in, you get taken off the beat for telling the truth, but not for telling lies.

Oh, you forgot Poland. No, wait. Forget Poland.
