Hey, Elizabeth, Yoda just called.
He wants his face back.
Beth may fear
losing face [1].
The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side. - Yoda
[1]
lose faceBe embarrassed or humiliated, especially publicly. For example, Terry lost face when his assistant was promoted and became his boss. Both this expression and the underlying concept come from Asia; the term itself is a translation of the Chinese tiu lien and has been used in English since the late 1800s. Also see save face.

What makes the press think this war is unpopular, if not necessary? Who does not really think that we have to fight these people there, or, fight them here?
The press incited an unsuspecting public into believing that VietNam was not worth fighting, leaving millions bereft to die in our wake as we left. Still, the South Vietnamese here support the US faithfully, and unwaveringly. Some might even say, and, do, that the press caused us to 'lose' that engagement.
NEVER AGAIN. We're on to you, press corps. We KNOW WHAT YOU DO AND HOW YOU DO IT NOW. AND, WE'RE SMARTER.

I'm f'ing had it with the press. The WH should have kicked that SOB out of the room. Had him removed and not allow him to future briefings. How dare this pompous ass attempt to badger our Press Secretary about the very story that the media should be examining and learning from.

Q With respect, who made you the editor of Newsweek? Do you think it's appropriate for you, at that podium, speaking with the authority of the President of the United States, to tell an American magazine what they should print? What I wouldn't give to hear him respond, "I think it's appropriate to insist that the press tell the truth and not make up lies. That is especially true when the totally BS lies cause multiple deaths. I think it's totally appropriate to tell an "American" magazine to wash the blood off their filthy, lying, propagandizing hands and tell the truth. Yes. That would be appropriate, elisabeth you America hating skank!"

But ALWAYS question our military

The biggest enemy we face is in our own backyard. Rush talked at length about how they, The Old Media, are all the same, just different faces!
They hate America Superiority, American Military and they really Hate President Bush!
CBS and NewsWeek both 'Wanted' the story to be true to tarnish the success of this administration.

What he should have replied ...
"Oh, so Newsweek *has* an editor?"

What makes the press think this war is unpopular, if not necessary? Because THEY don't like it
They didn't like that we went after the terrorists in Afghanistan after 9/11

That Elizabeth chick hates the military and he should have put her in her place when she asked if they should do an article on how great the American military is. Don't sweat it. This is the lead story on Drudge, and the story by now probably has a quarter of a million hits.
She and the media are hanging themselves with their own rope. God works in mysterious ways.

Rush talked at length about how they, The Old Media, are all the same, just different faces! He also pointed out that the terrorists know they can't beat us militarily
But know if they hold out .. they can beat us in the PR war because many in the media/press will help them
IMO .. it's Uncle Walter Cronkite all over again

Yes, it is ridiculous that Americans are faced with seeing our religious icons disrespected in the secular name of 'art' - however, we do not kill people over it.
In the Mid East they do kill over slights and the MSM/NEWSWEEK- got what they've wanted, hatred for America on the Arab street.
Now I see why President Bush always pushed the respect for Islam and Koran litany even when the base found it frustrating. He understood the people with whom we are dealing and their overemotional reactions to the world around them. [We see that with liberals every day, after all.]
The Muslim reaction to the Newsweek LIES - deaths, putting the Coalition in more danger - shows this President & his Administration understood this reactionary people far better than the MSM or many of us.

"The real war will start after the next terrorist attack."
I agree, and these people will pay dearly.

Didn't the Stone Age Press say that they were relevent because they had Fact Checkers as opposed to the Space Age Press. Those Buggie Manufacturers were a pretty arrogant bunch right before they started going under.

Should have gone like this, and Im paraphrasing Rather a bit.
Q: With respect, who made you the editor of Newsweek? Do you think it's appropriate for you, at that podium, speaking with the authority of the President of the United States, to tell an American magazine what they should print?
A: Elisabeth, Newsweek has made us hypocrites in the face of the world. How could they sign on to such a sloppy policy of fact checking?! And the question is what does that tell us about their record?
Q: Erm
