Pundits pitching in in Iraq

OMG! Bill Bennett has just proposed that the Iraq-supporting, but housebound wingnutocracy get their hands dirty in support of our glorious war in Iraq.

"PURPLE REVOLUTION [Bill Bennett]
I don't know if the idea is original with our audience or not—it's a big country and hard to keep track of all the good ideas out there--but we had a caller today with a great idea, an inoculation against the tide of the Main Stream Media's (or what I call the Alien Media Nation) constant denigration of our fight and effort in Iraq. The continued drumbeat against the war in our culture, high and low, can only serve to hurt the morale of our soldiers and our allies--including the Iraqis themselves. They, despite all we see and hear, are going to the polls next month--for their third election in a year, each election being a remarkably courageous demonstration. So how do we show them our support? How do we let them--and our soldiers--know we stand with and behind them? Americans should start putting purple ink on their right index fingers the week before their Dec. 15 election. And let Iraqis, let American soldiers, let our allied forces see that demonstration here. NBC, CNN, the New York Times want a picture to tell a thousand words? They want a picture of how the majority of Americans feel? Let 'em print our purple fingers--and let the Iraqis on Dec. 15 show even more.

I can just imagine the reaction of Iraqis and U.S. soldiers to the sight of a throng of hundreds standing outside the FauxNews building on the Ave. of Americas, waving, as Wolcott says, a mauve finger at the camera:

"What the fuck?"

I look forward to hearing/reading the reaction of these folks to Bush's latest "Mission Accomplished" speech planned for tomorrow. Will any of them find exploided brain matter flowing copiously out of their nose and ears as they attempt to turn what had been cowardly, jihad-lovin' talk when it came from Murtha and Biden, into bold and victorious talk from our preznit?
