Funny to read that, I commented nearly the exact same thing to my husband this evening watching Krauthammer not wanting to talk about the dinner on Brett’s show. I was struck by the thought that they should have all declined. The least our journalists could do is to distance themselves from those they cover. They owe us that much.
I don’t consider any of the journalists who attended the dinner to be real conservatives... just more beltway insiders.
I think you’re right. I used to think Will was very conservative, I still think he’s very smart. But, they all often say thinks that make me tilt my head and go, “huh?”
I think the problem is they just get too close and too in the clique.
All of them need to get outside the beltway, it has tainted them as much as our elected representatives.
Strange New Respect, as National Review used to say.
I have no idea how that could be done, tho. I agree, you cannot see clearly from inside. That’s why Palin was such a breath of fresh air (and why she infuriated most of them so).
I remember when NR used to be worth reading, but that was pre-90s.
I thought Rich Lowery was all right.....
I hope Palin is the star of CPAC.......it would kill them to have to print that.
They would find a way to make it a bad thing. They just hate her. I think as much as they hated Bush. I think they just got totally rabid when they hated Reagan but the American people follow their lead. I think that accounts for much of what Bush had to suffer at the hands of the media.
Krauthammer tonight on Fox was gushing about his new love fest with BO and said he is now I quote “ In the tank for BO” It was sickening.
“I was struck by the thought that they should have all declined.”
Agree.
Sickening as it is, at least he comes out and says it. Unlike Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann, those hard-hitting journalists of MSNBC.
They probably agree on a lot of issues like abortion on demand and an open border policy.
I bet Zero touched them between the eyes and they became 0-bots.
The affections of media whores are easily won by the highest bidder. These whores who dress up like journalists will now be invited to all the smart parties in D.C.
He was NOT joking, trust me. I’m sure the video is somewhere on you tube by now.
He seemed pretty wishy=washy to me when he filled in for Hannity on H&C...
