This is a video clip of Maureen Dowd this morning: /HERE
Dowd: "We are torturing people, we're outsourcing torture, the administration is trying to throw journalist in jail and basically trying to replace the whole press corps with ringers, including male escorts."
Congressman Billybob
No, several individuals were involved in excessive behavior, which is against the rules, and are being punished for it.
" we're outsourcing torture,"
"Outsourcing" is one of those verbs the shallow use to show they're hip.
" the administration is trying to throw journalist in jail"
You mean because they won't cooperate with the investigation of the Plame "scandal"--which YOUR crowd demands be investigated?????
" and basically trying to replace the whole press corps with ringers, including male escorts."
Look on the bright side, at least now you know Gannon is one man who won't leave you, if you pay him enough.
According to the stuff that Rush says about her, a male escort is the only way she has to get a date!
Professionally speaking as a journalist, of course.
That can't be emphasized enough. MoDO's own rag of record, the NYT was demanding an investigation, and a special counsel. Buncha simpletons.
'That can't be emphasized enough. MoDO's own rag of record, the NYT was demanding an investigation, and a special counsel. Buncha simpletons.'
I am confused. Reporters usually support each other about refusing to release information about their 'sources'.
So if it is a liberal cause, don't release your sources, but if helps a liberal agenda, they should release the sources?
All principles and beliefs of liberals are expendable, if by abandoning those principles and beliefs they can harm their opponents. Thus, if it is expedient to abandon the claim of "confidential sources" to damage an opponent, so be it. The claim of "confidential sources" can be always re instituted later if it is their side in trouble. Laughably though, their short sighted desire for expediencey met up with the swift consequence of reality. Buncha morons!
A nasty, bitter drunk does not a good newswoman make.
Poor thing, MoDowd. She's needing a good dose of laudenum, or smelling salts at the very least.
I looked over the video clip and didn't see the IV drip of 80 Proof cocktails...
"Buncha simpletons"
Me thinks you are being too generous
does not Judith Miller work for the Times?
So, Mo Dowd is going against her own compatriot?
I'm only saying that they are not consistent, and they don't always think things through. If a conservative defends the principle of "confidential sources," he will not scream for an investigation if a liberal publishes a leak from a "confidential source." A conservative logically understands that if he demands an investigation when others publish "confidential leaks" that he doesn't much have a leg to stand on when the investigators knock on his own door.
I agree.....illogical and muddled thinking .....
