Berkeley Blogger Wants to Embed With US Troops
Sean Penn's title as the most absurd "journalist" ever to venture to the Middle East is in serious jeopardy. Berkeley caricature Jane Stillwater is on her way to Iraq to embed with the US military as a blogger.
In case our troops are too busy to baby-sit stray geriatric hippies, Swillwater has alternate plans: she'll sleep on the beach in Kuwait for three weeks while she waits for her flight home.
The intrepid journalist isn't bringing a laptop; she'll just transmit her stories from Internet cafes. She also doesn't figure she'll need a translator:
I've been all over the world, and you always find people who speak English.
Dressing like a bag lady in clothes she finds discarded on the street, Bongwater managed to save money for her ticket by eating nothing but peanut butter sandwiches. She has had children with four different men without ever getting married.
Past Stillwater stunts include traveling to DC on the Fourth of July to serve President Bush with an eviction notice. The San Franfreakshow Comical thinks she's great.
On a tip from Wiggins.

So she's heading over there with no guarantee that she'll be able to embed, no laptop, and no translator? I guess the language of "peace and love" needs no translation, eh? And she'll sleep on the beach for three weeks if she's turned away? This is really one of the most harebrained schemes I've heard of in a long time.

She says that the only way to know what is going on in Iraq is to go there. I guess she's unaware of the dozens, maybe hundrede, of troops who are blogging from Iraq? Are they not the ultimate embeds?
I appreciate her willingness to risk her personal safety to find the truth. On the other hand, I can't help but wonder if she is doing this as a publicity stunt to get her 15 minutes of fame. She could probably get more information and get it more efficiently from the safety of her home just by reading the milbloggers.

Does this moron realise she can get her head blown off, or worse, be kidnapped and raped? Hey, it takes stones to go to Iraq (or any warzone), but our guys and gals in the military have several advantages over this featherweight, notably M-16A2s, body armour and training.

This should be good. I look forward to hearing of her adventures over there. She'll probably look at the Iraqis as fellow "peoples of the earth" and tell them she's their soulmate because of the suffering they all endured due to imperialism. haha
I have a feeling most of the Iraqis will just look at her as a crazy lady. Remember, much of Iraq is still a functioning society, with parents going to work and kids going to school. They've got their own lives to worry about. I doubt they'll take her to their bossom and have a love-fest with her...no matter how much she tries to convince them she's one with them.
