I do not think that word means what you think it means

From the Qantas Frequent Flyer email newsletter (I normally don't even read these, I just scanned through and noticed this):

A limited number of free preview tickets are available to the highly anticipated 'Bean 2' showing in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

(emphasis added).

Anticipated by who, exactly? Name three people.

nice catch

A nice catch by Glenn Greenwald. Back in 2004, there was a minor kerfuffle over John Kerry allegedly saying that foreign leaders wanted him to defeat Bush.

Dolly Downer, never one to miss an opportunity to put his 2c in, said this:

And Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer told Australian radio this week that the remarks certainly didn't come from Australian leaders. He said it's not right either for leaders to make those comments or for a candidate to make them public.
"I think it's probably better to keep foreign leaders and the views of foreign leaders out of domestic elections, I mean, certainly we do that here in this country. I mean, people express different views to you, if you're a candidate, I tend not to pass on those kinds of views publicly," he said.

and this:

Look, in the end this isn't a matter for Australia. We don't have a vote in the American presidential election, we just have to deal with whoever wins the election. And whatever John Howard or I, or anybody else may think privately, we'd never say anything publicly about the elections of a foreign country.

Compare and contrast with his statements from this week. Discuss Downer: hack, hypocrite or both?
