Milbank got his start as the AP reporter from LITTLE ROCK during when Clinton was the governor. Amazingly, when Clinton was elected president, he was moved to Washington and eventually hired by the Washington Post.
As far as I am concerned, he is a Clintonista mole at the Post. He should be covering Europe or something, and NOT be the White House reporter.
Bill Sammon of the Washington Times had a discussion in his book Fighting Back about Milbank's contempt for the president. It is my goal to see Milbank relegated to obscurity.
Are you aware that Dana Milbank is a graduate of Yale, and a member of Skull and Bones?
The president had had enough that day and shot back [paraphrasing] "Which sixteen words? Can you tell me the quote?"
Dana stammered that no he didn't but he could go back and look them up.
It was a typical touché by President Bush, which was typically ignored by the media.
