By the Fiery Forges of Petraeus, I Shall Avenge Thy Name!Jules the Monkeyboy

* I’m not in the ad half of the business, I have no clue. But imagine if that were true, and the New York Times had make up for it. Giving a cutrate full-page ad to everyone else who wants to make a political point about Iraq seems fair. I might like to place one myself. I’m as entitled to a political opinion on Iraq as MoveOn.org is. So is my buddy Surber. Midwest Jim at Gateway might want to weigh in. I know Blackfive and Mudville have a lot to say. That could add up quick and get real expensive for the New York Times real fast. Could be a problem. There’s Cassandra, and Captains Quarters, and Powerline, and Instapundit … there’s really a lot of people who would like an opportunity to express their views about Iraq and Gen. Petraeus in a full-page ad in the New York Times. Take up a collection, raise that special political cutrate fee. Or maybe get it free, as there ought to be some kind of penalty. Can’t leave out Daily Kos and that crowd. They’ll need a rebuttal. Cutrate. Or free, whatever. Free ads all around! Fair’s fair.

… I don’t think the Sulzbergers aren’t going to like this.
