Thursday evening I had the opportunity to appear on Al-Hurra, America’s government-funded Arabic-language television network (and, no, I don’t speak Arabic and, yes, the network might be more popular if it didn’t feature so many Americans-who-need-to-be-translated) to do some commentary on the Democratic Convention before Barack Obama’s big speech. To my surprise, my fellow guest was none other than Michael O’Hanlon (the photo’s not very good, my seat was pretty far from his):

Showing off his savvy TV veteran skills, O’Hanlon brought a pair of sunglasses to the studio that he could wear between our on-camera moments in order to avoid being blinded by prolonged exposure to TV lighting. I’d never met him before, and we only chatted extremely briefly once we were done because I wanted to hurry home and see Obama.

Matt meets that prick that helped get us into the Iraq war in a forum where Arab people can get a feel for America and he doesn’t say something about the amount of spilled Iraqi blood on his fellow pundits hands? Pussy

It’s a forum no one watches. It just barely registers a rating in the Arab world. It’s got a 9 digit price tag, probably adds up to about $500,000 per viewer.

I second Jerry. You didn’t punch O’Hanlon’s lights out. Pussy.
