Softball interview reveals little but disdain (LIBERAL PANTIES IN A WAD ABOUT HUME & CHENEY)

Chicago Sun-Times ^ | February 16, 2006 | DOUG ELFMAN TELEVISION CRITIC

[madprof98]

. . . proud of a blase disdain for the people he serves

These goofballs actually imagine that THEY are "the people he serves."

[A Citizen Reporter]

"DOUG ELFMAN TELEVISION CRITIC"

"The sneer. The chill"

Not enough drama for a television critic.

Maybe he ought to still to the Olympics, NBC is providing plenty of "drama".

[carlr]

Notice the contradictions to his criticisms

Cheney: "My first reaction, Brit, was not to think: 'I need to call the press.'" Mr. Vice President, no one expected the press to be called first. It's misleading to let on that the uproar has to do with that.

And than this statement suggesting that it was wrong for the VP to not do the next thing to that.

Cheney: "I had no press person with me." Hey, heard about cell phones?

Boy oh boy, I remember when the mainstream media would howl like stuck pigs when Hillary's handlers would hand over the list of questions she would respond to.

What? oh yeah. nevermind.

We just got home from eating out.....Valentine'ss Day dinner without the crowds.

My mom complained her meal was too big and my wife complained that she couldn't finish her chocolate cheesecake desert.

I'm trying to get David Gregory on the phone to give him the scoop first.

"Is the camera on? Is it on? It's ON! Alrighty everyone, loooooookkatmeeeeeeeeeee!"

[clawrence3]

What is he even doing in that shot?

[SkyPilot]

What is he even doing in that shot?

Mugging for the camera.

It is all about him.

[clawrence3]

Waiving his jacket around was supposed to make him look good?

[geezerwheezer]

Looks to me as though Mr. Elfman got the lace on his panties caught in his zipper and now he has his panties in a wad.....boooooooooHoooooooooo!!!! What a dork.

Mainstream Media

Greta Van Susteren could probably keep this story alive til the '08 elections. Nightly updates with no content. Months of no content, years of no content.

I can't stand her or her content on FOX News. She is FOX's tabloid / soap-opera queen.

[Nita Nupress]

I love it when people HATE so much, they make complete idiots of themselves. Over and over and over again.

It's better entertainment than going to the movies.

"I can't stand her or her content on FOX News. She is FOX's tabloid / soap-opera queen."

Gretta's show has essentially become a television version of True Detective Magazine. But...as someone noted above, she seems to beat the same dead horse night after night with no real new information to discuss. Not my cup of tea but it must be getting the ratings because they seem to have settled on this format as a permanent thing.

This aspect of the story is getting fun.

Keith Olbermoonbat is trying to mobilize the troops to destroy the sheriff and the DA down in Texas who have declined to press charges, according to some of the ten people who are actually watching his show.

[AmishDude]

Great post, astute observation!

[gridlock]

Cheney: "We also didn't know what the outcome here was going to be." We almost never know how stories end. If that were a standard, well, I would not be writing this right now.

Hey, Lynn Sweet! I'll tell you how this story is going end. This story is going to end with you guys getting your butts kicked. Again.

[Nita Nupress]

ROFL! Hey, I just took my dog out to do #2. Maybe I should call Dick Gregory, too.

[Nita Nupress]

David Gregory.

Freudian slip.
