One thing I like about Pajamas Media's Blog Week in Review is that I always learn something new. Usually more than one thing.
Pajamas blogger Michelle Malkin is a guest panelist this week. I visit (and link) to her blog regularly, but I had no idea that she has a video blog site up called Hot Air.
The agreed-upon-among-the-panelists good news from Iraq is discussed, but the banter turns a bit nasty as Eric Umansky and Tammy Bruce bicker on whether Turkey is a democracy. I agree with Tammy, Turkey has elections, but it isn't a democracy.
The non-indictment of Karl Rove is now an Internet legend is the unanimous opinion among the panelists. Jason Leopold's Truthout blog is still operating, but what little credibility he had is gone. Truthout reported that Rove would be indicted, but in a weasely retraction by Truthout's March Ash posted the following week, that Leopold erred in "getting too far out in front of the news-cycle."
That statement will be used as a punchline on countless FreeRepublic threads.
Another Blog Week in Review topic is the trial of Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci for defaming Islam. The trial is not taking place in Saudi Arabia but in Italy.
Moderator Austin Bay recommends this Opinion Journal article from last year about Fallaci, and I guess, the decline of Western civilization in Europe.
As always, Ed Driscoll does a superb job producing the podcast.
