So this dude, Howard Kaloogian, "a leading Republican running for the seat in Congress recently vacated by indicted Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham", went on and on about how the media was lying about the situation in Iraq, how everything there is all rose petals and bubble baths, and proved said assertion with a photograph he claimed was of a peaceful little Iraqi street scene.
Ahem.
Here's a link to the original photo Mr. Kaloogian posted, as well as an alternate view proving it to be Turkey, not Iraq.
How stupid and arrogant does one have to be to think they can get away with that? Or, more succinctly, how Republican?
Ahem.
"The photo featured people who didn’t seem dressed quite right for Iraq, and signs and billboards that looked off, too. In the now-familiar pattern, the ace detective work leaped from obscure blogs to the well-known (Talking Points Memo, Eschaton, Attytood, more), and back again, as eagle-eyed experts proposed alternative locales, with Turkey a likely suspect.
In less than a day, it was over. “Jem6X” at the popular DailyKos blog confirmed the street scene was in Istanbul, not Baghdad."
