BTW steve, next time you feel the need to pass that big a wet juicy hersey squirt, please have the common courtesy to light a match eh? Man, I have never see that many ill considered, dishonest, knee jerk, inaccurate moonbat talking points direct from the DU in one post in ages. That has to be a personal “best” for you!

But you can still sleep peacefully and safely at night, as you know that men and women who are more articulate and serious than you are out there making sure the nation is safe and holding our enemies at bay. You don’t deserve the protection, and you don’t appreciate it, but you’re taken care of nonetheless. And, deep down below your sociopathy, I think you are fully aware of just how useless you and your fellow traverlers are. That’s why you strike out at your betters, they make you aware of what a failure you are, and it’s easier to denigrate them than to live up to your responsibilities.

Looking at poor ol’Scott McClellan, it’s apparent that he just isn’t up to the task of taking on the vicious animals that the Washington press corps have become. They combine the moonbat sensibilities evidenced by steve with the pack animal viciousness of rabid hyeenas.

I do have a solution though:

Ann Coulter for White House Press Secretary!

Now that’s something I’d pay good money to watch.

Get things done: Like set the Middle East on fire or double the National Debt in 4 years or increase military spending by 45% on useless weapons systems or ship jobs overseas thru NAFTA or shink the standard of living by 1.2% in the last 2 years or rob the treasury of hundreds of billions in revenues so the wealthist 1% af Americans can have a tax cut or add 4 million more people to the group of Americans without health care and on and on and on. PLEASE, Republicans, stop doing things before we have no country left. Peace

Thanks, steve, for once again illustrating that there is nothing too idiotic, distasteful, dishonest, or shameful for the Left to use in an attempt to besmirtch the name of an enemy. You know, the usual enemies of the Left, responsible adults who get things done instead of sitting around whining and complaining.

What do we know? Cheney and Whittington (both men) and Ambassador Pamela Willeford and Ms. Armstrong, the ranch owner,(both women). Is this a pair of hunters or a drunken sex party that went wrong when the guns came out? Peace

And for all this, the media still misses the real story. Heck, Smoking Gun had the police report, and it was there in black and white but the media is more concerned about getting the VP than actually reporting the story (other than Whittingham’s health status).

It isn’t a crime to not go to the White House media first with a story.

However, it is borderline criminal that the local law enforcement and Secret Service couldn’t communicate by radio when the incident happened and instead needed to rely on regular telephones because the communications systems could work together.

The VP messed up in not being more forthcoming on the situation, but someone really ought to look into why the USSS couldn’t communicate with local law enforcement over their radios. How much time was lost in the process?

Instead, the media latches onto how they were snubbed by the VP’s office on getting the story first.

I agree. It certainly is how a large segment of people handle the media. After someone dies and the media are all over their lawn and calling and ringing their doorbell and the mom and dad look to these crazy “objective” journalists as wack. If I was ever in a position, I would treat the media with an extended arm and open hand also.

Did you watch the 20 minute video on “Expose the Left”? What is a manufactured scandal (what ST is referring to – not reefer), is the media’s seeming assertion that the WH press corp should’ve been notified quicker and FIRST. So they didn’t get notified first… They were genuinely upset and making a stink and making WILD assertions. That IS the making of a scandal. That is how the press operates.

Nobody is referring to Cheney as not screwing up.

You understand now or do you still think people are referring to Cheney as not screwing up?

The “beauty part” is that while Cheney may be concerned about Harry Whittington’s recovery, he doesn’t give a fig about the media. He’s never been one to toady to the MSM. He’s not running for office in 2008 and he’s basically giving the MSM the middle finger. They can rant and rave all they want and he simply doesn’t care, any more than he does about what people say about him on a blog or in a blog’s comments section. The way he’s “handling” (or “mishandling”) this situation is typical of the way he’s always related to the media. Good or bad, he’s certainly consistent.

The “manufactuared scndal” part of the post that ST mentions. Shoot if it was Cheney who got shot instead of some 78 year old lawyer it would’ve hit the wires ASAP. You know why can’t youse righties just admit screw-ups instead of spinning em’

Tommy wrote the obvious, “VP Cheney screwed up

Yes. Cheney screwed up. I screw up. You screw up. The media screws up.

I’m not sure which statement of yours has you rolling on the floor laughing. Can you clarify?

C’mon don’t try to spin this ST. VP Cheney screwed up big time. There are no ands,ifs or buts about this. Youse dudes and dudettes attitude about this situation is almost similar to somebody walking across the street against the light and then some drunk driver plows him over. Youse are blaming the dude walking instead of the drunk operating a vehichle trashed which could kill somebody. Nice try though.

Not to put too fine a point on it, David Gregory is a vindictive moron. He's been casting about for a way to take revenge on the Bush Administration ever since President Bush humiliated him in public. That's the press corps for you.

Some think this is another “gotcha” because they need too. Actually the American public already thinks the White house gaggle is a bunch of nitwits. We’ll have to wait till the polls come out to see if this is a “blessed event”. I think I’ll be adding this as #18 to the moonbat BDS marathon….
