60 Minutes' Bob Simon to check out babes on the beach in Tel Aviv

I guess Bob Simon needed a vacation.

Of course, if you go to the link, you will see that the picture they have shows military helicopters flying over the beach.

I can't wait.

UPDATE 4:04 PM BOSTON TIME

Hmmm.

Victory is at hand: Flotilla of fools losing media coverage

This was tweeted by Joseph Dana a short while ago.

That's right folks. CNN and CBS are leaving tonight (Friday) if nothing happens, and the New York Times will likely follow suit. Even Dana himself complains that he 'can't stay here forever.'

Victory is at hand. Heh.

Flotilla of fools to include embedded useful idiots

I saw a tweet yesterday about reporters being embedded on the flotilla of fools, but didn't have time to look for details about it. Alana Goodman reports that reporters from the New York Times, CNN and CBS will be along for the trip - and apparently some others.

Alana thinks this might be a good thing.

The one upside of this development is at least now flotilla activists will have a more difficult time attacking IDF soldiers with knives once the network news cameras are rolling. But the unfortunate downside is these reporters are giving the flotilla activists exactly what they’re aiming for – media attention. Seeing as there’s no humanitarian reason for the flotilla (which is even more obvious now that the Egyptian border with Gaza has been opened), its only point is to generate publicity. The activists are sure to receive a lot of media coverage this time around – and they won’t even have to resort to stabbing soldiers to get it.

I would guess that any reporter who will be allowed on one of those ships will be sympathetic to their cause in the first place. So I wouldn't expect them to do anything to prevent another armed attack on IDF soldiers. And remember that on the Mavi Marmara, the IHH thugs sent everyone who wasn't one of their own to the lowest deck before the 'action' started.

But my guess is that there will be no boarding this time. The Navy will stop the boats without actually going aboard. I just hope those reporters can swim.

Heh.
