Olympic curler George Karrys didn’t believe that journalists were anti-US and anti-Israel ... until the war in Iraq. In a letter to Mark Steyn’s site, he writes regarding Hamza Hendawi:
When a rock-tossing amateur athlete can spend less than 15 minutes on the web confirming a writer's humiliating legacy of bias, after reading one of his stories for the first time, then ya gotta know the jig is up.
Fact-checked by a rock-tosser. Excellent.

Gotta love the "Government has come UNDER FIRE" title.
I wrote about it on my new blog (http://randomprose.journalspace.com/) as well so check it out.

Posted by: James Dasher at June 19, 2003 05:06 AMNo disrespect to Mr. Karrys intended, but can any two words better express the sorry state of the Olympics than "Olympic curler"? I suppose
if "ballroom-dancer" can be considered one word ...
