Shock, Dismay as Dana Milbank Proves His Cranium Somehow Detached Itself from the Rest of His Body

I feel sympathy for the Washington Post's Dana Milbank. He has a truly difficult job. On the one hand, he has to pretend to be a real journalist. On the other, he has to recycle David Axelrod's press releases and position them as factual.

In his most recent public relations project for the DNC, Milbank pilloried Arizona Governor Jan Brewer for her references to drug gang beheadings on the border with Mexico.

Jan Brewer has lost her head.

The Arizona governor, seemingly determined to repel every last tourist dollar from her pariah state, has sounded a new alarm about border violence. 'Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert either buried or just lying out there that have been beheaded,' she announced on local television.

Ay, caramba! Those dark-skinned foreigners are now severing the heads of fair-haired Americans? Maybe they're also scalping them or shrinking them or putting them on a spike...

But those in fear of losing parts north of the neckline can relax. There's not a follicle of evidence to support Brewer's claim.

Of course, in the tiny land of reality -- which we like to call "outside the Beltway" -- the Mexican crime gangs running wild in Arizona are well-known for beheading and hanging victims just to make their point.

A friend on the Hill read Milbank's piece and pronounced it "utter BS," then produced a copy of a July 8, 2010, letter to Brewer from Arizona rancher J. David Lowell describing a recent incident involving one of his ranch hands:

"In January 2010, Congressman Rob Bishop visited our ranch here in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. During that visit, I related to him an incident that occurred on June 27, 2008, in one of our pastures west of the ranch house... On that day, one of our ranch hands was working horseback and discovered a human head near a trail believed to be used by drug and alien smugglers.

"Although the head was missing the lower jaw, it was immediately apparent that much of the mass and flesh of the head was still present. The cowboy searched the area in hopes of finding the remainder of the body to no avail.

"The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office was notified and they took possession of the head on that same date. We suspect that the head may have been placed along side the trail as a warning to other drug and alien traffickers using the trail."

Famed blogger Fausta Wertz regularly reads the Spanish-language news sites published in central America and adds:

If you, dear readers, can read Spanish, read the Narcotráfico section of Mexican newspaper El Universal. The reports of beheadings are not tall tales at all. Beheadings are a form of execution by the drug cartels operating across Mexico and in the US-Mexico border area. It behooves the governor of a state bordering with a drug war zone to ensure the safety of her state’s citizens by enforcing the law.

How many decapitated heads found would Milbank consider acceptable in order for the Arizona governor to justify enforcing the law? One? Fifty? Ten thousand?

In fact, photographs of beheaded drug gang members were published by The Westerner [Caution: extremely graphic!] to help Milbank come to grips with his cranial detachment syndrome.

It's really a shame that Dana Milbank -- who, at one time was a respected journalist -- has transformed himself into an out-and-out laughingstock. All of this embarrassment could have been avoided had he only bothered to use the complex research tool called "Google". Perhaps in the future David Axelrod will require the use of this revolutionary new application in his instruction-sheet for Mr. Milbank.

Just in case you did not realize it, the photo used to amplify the text:
"A friend on the Hill read Milbank's piece and pronounced it "utter BS," then produced a copy of a July 8, 2010, letter to Brewer from Arizona rancher J. David Lowell describing a recent incident..."

includes the severed penis of one of the decapitation victims. Since you blurred the other gruesome photos on your page, you may want to do some more blurring.

The criminal failure of our Federal government to protect our nation's borders and citizens cannot be allowed to continue.

He was only "respected" at one time because we did not have the internet to expose the fact that he is a bagman for the Dems.

One of the main problems in solving the illegal immigration problem is that the Catholic Church in America is sermonizing lawlessness in order to achieve their do-gooderness intentions-THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTION!

When the 'moral authority' (such as the Catholic Church) shoves aside their morality in order to present a false appearance of humanity then what happens is really creepy stuff such as, a majority of Catholic 'sanctity of lifers' empowering a President who advocates killing human beings who survive abortions.

IF the Catholic Church found God again then perhaps the evil things would not have some much power to destroy?

As long as the facts do not support the liberal agenda, reality will never be a took for reporting by the likes of Milbanks, or any other liberal, agenda driven reporter.

There is a reason why the Obama administration wants to shut down talk radio and monitor the Internet. They are scared of being exposed.

The explosion of the World Wide Web happened at the precise time we needed it the most. If that is not proof of G-d's will, nothing is.

Yep, that photo was supposed to be redacted, but I forgot to save the updated image.

Since fixed.

Thanks.
