Tom Delay has taught an important lesson today and I hope the White House Communications Office was listening.
Lesson: When you get bad press, get in front of the story and defend yourself...immediately. Sad to say, the WH Communications Office is always a "day late and a dollar short" when it comes to defending the President. Bush needs a war room. You don't wait three days to answer charges. You answer them within the same news cycle, as Delay did today. Dan Bartlett, are you listening?
What everyone else has said.
Doesn't anyone in the WH have a working television ?
Are they unable to see how weak and ineffectual McClellan is as the face of the Bush administration ?? !!
McClellan is always hemming and hawing and looking down at the ground as if he had just been sent to the principal's office.
He never acts as if he has a command of the WH policies- he is tentative and cowed by the WH press corps.
The entire communications office is a gift to the DNC.
I give all of them a big, fat F .
"The entire communications office is a gift to the DNC."
We don't have to lower ourselves and embrace the slimy tactics of the Dems. We just need to agressively fight the lies by telling the truth! What a concept!
BTTT
BUMP
**Again, this is how it's done.**
Absolutely! And DeLay is not afraid to use the bully-pulpit or be politically incorrect!
I thought Specter was a Catholic in Name Only.
No.
It's just that he talks like a farmer.

Read and weep...

DeLays Prosecutor Offered Dollars for Dismissals - How Ronnie Earle works
You're partially, or half right. A few politicians are crooked, however, some are more than others! In this instance, sounds like Ronnie Earle should be defending himself, instead of prosecuting Tom DeLay!
DA Ronnie Earle is following a page from Jesse Jackson's play book, if you submit to a shake down, it will all magically go away.
BTTT
In response to what post #19 said about Michael Reagan - how about Michael for President in 2008! Another Reagan and not that wimp Ron Jr...
For the love of God, please dump Scott McClellen. For the sake of our children and house plants. Hire Dan Senor!!! (~sob-sob-sob~) Please...
They should've countered the oppostition to the Iraq war this way. Look what it lead to--the F9-11. You have to cool the flames early, because what you say right out of the gate, like Tom did, is what most people see on the MSM news anyway.
Did you hear Rush today? All this stuff originates to the same town the false Bush-Guard documents came from. I've even seen on here Dan Rather's daughter has links to this Ronnie Earl character. LOL! pathetic.
Amen! I love Dan Senor. He did a wonderful job of presenting the administration's case for Iraq.
Gen H: "Good morning people. Get your seats and quit that jabbering in the back. This will be "presscon 1" you WILL be quick with questions, you WILL wait for the answer and NOT interrupt, and Helen Thomas WILL be escorted to be back of the room and covered by a sheet. Next...all "stuck on stupid" questions WILL earn you a 2 day suspension of your WH press pass. Do you understand people"?
Press: mumbling and crosstalk.
Gen H: "I CAN'T HEAR YOU"!!!
I'm pretty sure the accent is affectation, but he did grow up in Kansas, of all places!
