Tran Sient:

How hilarious that she made this comment at a conference on media reform. And then she tries to wiggle out of it, ironically with the same fake but true argument that has become the norm.

Elephant in My Coffee (like I originally was) is speechless.

Just read the article. The extent of her irresponsible behavior has rendered me speechless. The sheer stupidity of this woman is astounding.

The Dusty Attic has transcribed most of the speech, so the reader can judge for themselves the context, and Trey Jackson has put up the extended video.

Andi is on fire:

Twelve years ago, I married a soldier. While there are few subjects that I'm fully qualified to to write about, I do know a little something about soldiers and their character. I also know a little something about why words matter in our current environment.

Ms. Foley, allow me to educate you.

The Political Teen has the O'Reilly video.

Captain Ed is surprised, despite himself.

Perhaps in an era where mainstream journalists appear to be embracing the "fake but accurate" standard for publication stories like this should not surprise us, but one would think that key figures in the communication industry would be more careful in how they express themselves.

USS Neverdock almost calls it treason.

She needs to be made to produce the evidence or be fired. This is just more fodder for the terrorists to use against our troops.

LaShawn is doing more digging with a phone call or two.

I called the Newspaper Guild (202.434.7177) a few minutes ago to speak to Linda Foley and/or someone willing to go on the record, and I got a message saying something like, "Due to the number of calls that we believe are a coordinated effort to tie up the line, we regret that we cannot answer your call. Please leave a message and someone will..."

Euphoric Reality is taking up a collection:

I volunteer to begin a collection to send Ms. Foley to Iraq, where she will be free to wander around without the protection of the "brutal and cavalier" U.S. military.

And there's already a site called FoleyGate.com.

Scared Monkeys observes some irony.

How come the first reaction when a liberal is caught saying what they really believe is that their words were taken out of context. In this instance, SHE WAS TALKING TO REPORTERS!!! Is she saying that her union members, people who pay her salary, can not report the news accurately.

It would greatly surprise me if Linda Foley survives the avalanche that is headed her way. Without evidence to substantiate her statements, she will likely soon be looking for new employment.
