That too. Me loves that accent. Still, she's one of the best
re****ters ever and one of the first (along with CNN's Kenneth(?) Ware)
to tell the dorky American anchorpersons -- I'm paraphrasing broadly
-- "Hey, we'd like to do more re****ting outside the green zone but
we'd, like, get killed. Those who say we should go out and re****t
about the good stuff going on haven't been here or if they have,
they've had so heavy a guard detail that they haven't had a tour
that's typical of or reflective of what even regular journalists (much
less regular soldiers) have to deal with every day."
Yeah, I'm paraphrasing, but she popped the Repugs' propaganda balloons
fairly quickly back in 2005 when she started re****ting how difficult
and dangerous it was for re****ters to get out of the green zone to get
footage of *anything* and how dangerous it was for their local
stringers, some of whom got footage back inside to them and were
executed later by one faction or another. Come to think of it, she
popped the *Media's* propaganda balloons in doing so, making it
impossible for the networks to fob off any of the
warm-fuzzy-we-build-a-school propaganda pieces as being even remotely
representative of what's actually going on there.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
