RUMSFELD STUFFS OBSESSIVE RECITING OF POLL NUMBERS BY THE MSM IN THE FACE OF A LEADING NEWS ANCHOR
12/08/05 | MikeA

Posted on 12/08/2005 7:29:40 PM PST by MikeA

Donald Rumsfeld was asked by Jim Lehrer on the News Hour on PBS just now if his low poll numbers bothered him. This was after one tiresome question after another about how the polls prove Americans hate Bush, the war in Iraq and everything else Republican-related. Rumsfeld came up with the best, in-your-face reply: "If you look where the news media is, it's down very low in the polls. If you want to get into public opinion polls, people in that business are right down near the bottom. You know that. Does it bother you?" Lehrer looked embarrassed and could only respond "I ask the questions here."

That's why I love Rumsfeld! He's not afraid to stuff it right back in the hideous faces of the media pukes unlike the rest of the administration that just plays so prissy and fearful with the leftist media.

(I can't resist popping in to your post):

I just want to know how did Rumsfeld escape the dreaded feminization disease?

SecDef Rumsfeld has always dealt in the world of facts.

Feminists just keep their eyes glued to the "balls".

I really like this guy. (Not in a Brokeback Mountain kind of way.)

I hope you don't like pudding. LOL

I really like and respect Rumsfeld too. He knows how to stick it to the media fools.

This administration is on the offensive. Look at the various stories being posted. I think we are seeing the beginning of the campaign.

The Democrats (and main stream media) is so used to the Republicans in general and this administration in particular just roll over, they do not know how to respond.

I am looking forward to more of this in your face responses.
