CNN's Jane Arraf creeps me out...
In a sing song voice she fairly lilts away as she details how the massive air strikes, artillery and mortars have lit up the light sky and resistance has been lighter than usual and that there are no US casualties to report...

La la la la la...

Just another night in the General's tent...

2. Arraf Reminds Me Of A Frumpy Tour Guide At Williamsburg
She sweats too much and her hair is ghastly.

3. It's the smile that gets me...
Like she's digging it...

Y'know?

Like, she's thinking, "Death is great for my career..."

5. She Is Digging It

Before the "war" began CNNI had an Iraqi correspondent (her name escapes me) in Baghdad SHE was excellent but a tad too Iraqi. They canned her and brought in the giggling Lebanese whank.

Who heard of Jane Arraf 2 years ago?

6. Was that Brahimi (I forget her first name)...
Brahimi & Nic Robinson were CNN's team in Baghdad before the war, but were tossed out by Saddam right before the start of hostilities.

I remember watching Jane Arraf a few months ago when an RPG went whizzing by her head. Probably not the only thing "whizzing" after that...;)

7. Rym Brahimi That's Her
Arraf is HORRIBLE...and that hair is ghastly. I know it is the ME and it's hard to look nice (heat wind camels etc) but I lived in Oman and they had hair dressers there!

8. Her hair is ghastly?
So?

I think it's more important that she lies on cue for her masters.

9. Yes She Lies For Her Masters
That's in her job description. I was just pointing out that EVERYTHING about her is REPUGnant.

10. Yep, she actually sounded giddy yesterday ...
... while reporting the beginning of the invasion, as if she had just boarded a thrill ride at an amusement park. It so turned my stomach I had to change the channel.
