There is a ‘uniform’ for most of our liberal intellectual elite. You can recognize many of the women… they sport what is lovingly referred to as ‘man hair’, wear flowing skirts or jeans, no makeup and the requisite frown.
Male leftist college professors tend to wear a beard… although there are those trying ‘to blend in’ that look almost indistinquishable from male ‘meat eaters.’
This brings us to our “Weenie man of the Week!”. This guy is probably not a ‘meat eater’… because he went to a vegetarian university…. His name is Professor Gilbert Burnham and his one great current contribution to the “Bash & Blame America First” committee continues to be his reporting of incredible death figures in Iraq, despite evidence and support. However, it looks like — once again — he lacks credibility… even with the government of Iraq.
The Iraqi government is also questioning (Gilbert Burnham’s) survey results. The Manchester (U.K.) Guardian reported: The Iraqi government said the report’s death toll was “inflated” and “far from the truth”….. An Iraqi government spokesman, Ali al-Dabbagh, said in a statement that the toll in the report “exceeds the reality in an unreasonable way.”
Our friends on the left like to introduce this sort of thing right before elections as they did in 2004… and only after the election does the report get fully discredited. Pajamas Media caught up with the author for an interview… and clearly Dr. Burnham ‘spin’ is amusing. They were not able to totally bare the old professor… but others did a pretty good job… and their links are below.
So, where did all the money come to run this study? It is reported that the major funder of the new study was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Well, Gilberto, you have won a sizable honor… the distiquished ‘big weenie’!
Remember “What about BoB?”, Gilbert?… I don’t know if it just the name… or the ‘look’… you just remind me of ‘Gil’… except he was in a plastic bag and you’re in a state of denial.
