Instapundit owes Eason Jordan an apology (and a job)

I guess we're all over this together- following up on Shake's Sis' post below, cross posted at yelladog:

I can't believe this. Dumbstruck. Flummoxed.

US President George W. Bush planned to bomb pan-Arab television broadcaster al-Jazeera, British newspaper the Daily Mirror said, citing a Downing Street memo marked "Top Secret".

The five-page transcript of a conversation between Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair reveals that Blair talked Bush out of launching a military strike on the station, unnamed sources told the daily which is against the war in Iraq.

I had some thoughts on Al Jazeera after seeing Control Room last year. I think it's important to realize that the people at Al Jazeera are, y'know, PEOPLE... Didn't someone lose their job for insinuating something like this?

Fortunately, I have some insider information on the conversation between Bush and Blair. You can view a dramatic recreation here.

As my friend Sean D said "It's like he has some sort of brain disorder, only it's not even a very exciting one- let's see ..., like Ide Amin. You know, a real fucking syphilitic madman rather than just some frat boy from Texas that curdled his brain with cheap whiskey and expensive cocaine."

Additional thoughts:
eponymous supplied the title for this post with his thoughtful comment- "the Instahack needs to bow down and suck Eason Jordan's toes"

Looks like Instapundit DOES owe Eason Jordan a serious apology.

Possible pushbacks from the Right-

"Bush was joking." (puh-LEEZE. That's its own moral quagmire.)
"Just because Bush said X doesn't mean that the 2nd Armored Division did Y on purpose." (Yeah, but it sure cast some doubt on their plausible deniability to me.)
"Making a big stink about this can only hurt us in our struggle for the Liberation of the Iraqi People." (Fuck you.)
