Our favorite moonbat columnist for the Toronto Star, Antonia Zerbisias, starts her latest with a quote from Howard Zinn and goes downhill from there. On the way to the bottom, she reveals that she has a big crush on yours truly (in a totally platonic way, of course): Turning Ugly Image on its Head.

The apparently wounded, unarmed insurgent who was dispatched by a U.S. marine’s bullet in a Falluja mosque last weekend was probably no innocent.

But he, like the unnamed American soldier who took him out, was caught in a nightmare that we, sitting far away in our living rooms, could never imagine, no matter how many times we watched that NBC embed video over and over and over again.

That soldier is also a victim — of the lie that invading Iraq would avenge the dead of 9/11, root out dangerous WMDs, wipe out terrorism and make the world a safer place.

Who among us — tired, terrified, hungry, homesick and heartily sick of the carnage — can honestly claim they wouldn’t pull the trigger under the same circumstances?

Yet, ask the right-whingers, and they’ll also shoot the messenger: award-winning NBC war correspondent, Kevin Sites.

“A quick Google lookup on Kevin Sites reveals quite a bit of admiration at lefty sites for his past work, which causes my antennae to tingle,” wrote Charles Johnson, on his Little Green Footballs weblog where, he added, he was “extremely skeptical of this report.”

Yes, well, there are none so blind …

I think she really likes me.
