Sigh, It’s Sy

Great hit by Dana Perino on Sy Hersh today at the White House:

Q: This weekend the New Yorker magazine came out with an article claiming that this summer the President, or at least the White House in general, asked the Joint Chiefs to redraw plans to attack Iran. Is that true?
MS. PERINO: Look, you know, I’m glad you brought it up. Every two months or so, Sy Hersh writes an article in The New Yorker magazine, and CNN provides him a forum in which to talk about his article and all the anonymous sources that are quoted in it.

Meantime, looks like the freedom memo hasn’t yet hit the White House press corps:

Q Dana, a couple on Burma/Myanmar.
MS. PERINO: Burma. (Laughter.)

What, no follow-up on the Falklands/Malvinas?

    Free Burma!
    International Bloggers’ Day for Burma on the 4th of October

    International bloggers are preparing an action to support the peaceful revolution in Burma. We want to set a sign for freedom and show our sympathy for these people who are fighting their cruel regime without weapons. These Bloggers are planning to refrain from posting to their blogs on October 4 and just put up one Banner then, underlined with the words „Free Burma!“.

    I stopped reading Sy Hersh when he switched to fiction — his stuff just is not believable anymore.
