Robert Gibbs, you ignorant slut!!

Brown must have considered it more than a casual request if he asked for a meeting FIVE TIMES!!!

Obama doesn’t care what Europeans, Israelies or democracy loving Central Americans thinks. They are rejects from a world that he’s here to end.

Putin, Qaddafi, Chavez, Abbas, Mugabe ... now those are the kind of people that give him the same tingle that he gives Chrissy.

If the President is thrown under a bus and the media refuses to report it, is it still a betrayal?

Yes - by the MSM, as usual.

It seems a rhetorical question, but is there no editor left with any standards left at the New York Times?

This piece is located in the news section, but there's nothing even remotely news-like about this article. Instead, it's filled with Ms. Cooper's silly and glib editorializing.

Does anyone wonder why this "news" paper is failing? One expects to read news in the news section, and certainly I wouldn't pay for a newspaper that so signally fails to distinguish news and opinion.

“Stop reading those London tabloids,” Mr. Gibbs said, swatting down the fuming by the British media that the prime minister was being disrespected by the Obama administration.

Disrespectful is as disrespectful does.

Dear English Cousins,
I apologize for the crass behavour of our so called
elected officials.
Your American Cousin.
