The response from the guy who works at the real NYTimes alone — after he claims “we’ve been all over the Bush administration since day one, we set the standard for coverage of the Iraq War” before the reporter mentions the name “Judith Miller” — makes this a must-see video (appx. 2 minutes)…
Thank you to those who dare to dream, even if such dreams are little more than saying out loud what we all know to be possible. Even that much, incredibly, in 2008, seems to have become the impossible for so many, in a country which once saw nothing as impossible.
More on the special (fake) edition of the NYTimes here. Hat-tip “Floridiot” in BRAD BLOG comments.
Oooo – looks like Judith Miller is a bit toxic, eh?
I wish I had a copy of that paper. Last night I went to their site but links weren’t working. I’ll try again today.
Thanks for posting the vid!
I had to watch that three times, sooooo funny.
🙂 🙂 😀
Seems to me…like a Benny Hill skit or something crazy like that…a little background tune
… the way the guy in the blue coat turned and bolted at the sound “Judith Miller” is priceless!
“The Yes Men” is a hilarious and very interesting video which makes you think about societal values, ‘experts’, ‘truths’ and other things.
The same guys who put together ‘The Yes Men’ video are supposedly the same ones who did this NYTimes Special Edition. Fantastic! Kudo’s to them.
Still making me 😀 today. He reminds me of John Cleese in Faulty Towers. He is so caught of guard, his eyes stop moving and then turns on a dime and sprints away. 😀
OT….
Dear President Elect Obama,

Great gag, but I think the video is part of the hoax . That can’t be a real NYT employee. Too deadpan to be an unrehearsed response.
Hey Flo, Thanks. I love little joey gypsy walsh!
Hey, after meandering… can we make this a theme song?
