Thanks for the thread as usual AB. We do appreciate your work and input every week.

Dean is so phony and such a weakling he knows Ken Mehlman would kick his butt all over the screen and it wouldn't look good for the rats. So he chose to hide behind Timmy's huge, girthy skirt.

Just watched a guy from USA Today, Richard Benedetto on C-Spin--he must be near retirement, talking about the things he did.
The guy actually advocated printing what spokespeople say as news!! He clearly doesn't get the msm agenda. He also said that he understands Scott mc Clellan. Time for this guy to go. How can he possibly be an msm member.

Good Morning, Rodguy! This morning ought to be good, Mehlman and Dean. Ill bet Mehlman goes on first so Dean wont get rebutted. Screamer Dean-the true voice, er, crescendo of the Democrat Party..

Benedetto already was fired (or relieved of his duties as they say) from USA today while they are streamlining.

I was struck by how old Benidetto looks! He has always been a good reporter to read, and I never realized how up there in years. (speaking as a Senior Citizen myself)
He is still a good man, standing up for Scott, and calling out David Gregory for what he does. Reporters should actually be more respectful in the WH!

They will never replay his comments. He was actually talking like a "reporter" instead of a "shaper of news."

I'm sure he was a shock to the cspin producers. Did you notice that they scheduled a spokesman for the Bush Administration at 9am - when all over the country the network Sunday news shows are on air. Talk about burying the "news."

He (Benedetto, Richard) doesn't take anything from the MOONBATS either...

more proof that the Kerry people are worried about the Mary Cheney comments. This is organized stuff, not a random email by someone who read my column

He has also figured out the Clintons...



Clinton has taken ‘I-feel-your-pain’ persona to Africa,
Richard Benedetto, USA Today, 3/30/98


Benedetto complains that Clinton has been “freely dispersing apologies for America’s past sins” on his trip to Africa this week.

BENEDETTO: [Clinton] has long been willing to tell people what they want to hear, regardless of veracity. Clinton biographer David Maraniss described him as “too eager to please and prone to deception.”

I wonder what happened to USA Today, did he retire or did someone else take over...
