Let Them Eat... Yellowcake!
Hundreds of Children Starving in Niger0 comments
3.6 people in Niger are facing the prospect of starving to death.
A third of them, children.
And as most of the cable TV punditocracy laughingly trip over themselves trying to pronounce the name of the place, the Bush administration only knows that it's a place—out there, somewhere—which, handily, they can use to punch former Ambassador Joseph Wilson IV bloody over his having the temerity to truthfully point out to Americans that their leaders cooked the books and lied to them after September 11, in order to gain their backing for an Iraq invasion, which had been the cherished Neo-Con dream for well over a decade.
Phyllis Schafly and Sen. Rick (Man-on-Dog) Santorum want you to care about "the child."
As long as it's not yet alive.
And not, god forbid, black.
