I go for justice Scalia who I watched on C-Span reaming the tender behinds of a bunch of nutbrained lefties. He would drive the press corps to a communal bawling jag within a week.

Now, Beachy, don't go blaming #2 for what those sorry liberal journalists print... He just hacks into their computers and gets the editions early...
Thanks, Mr. Vice President, I appreciate the support.
Well, #2, if it wasn't for you, I'd never have gotten to first base with Ann Coulter...

We can hope that the left wing/whacked out mediots continue to embarrass themselves in public.

Let's revise the title of this piece to better describe it.:
"Why the D.C. media hates America"
I don't know about you,but Sam Donaldson's "goins on" did it for me years ago.
America very likely really does'nt care a fig about the D.C. Media.

I was in the DC area during the time of Blather and Rabid Donaldson. There were a lot of old time democrats as well as republicans, who were appalled at the behavior of the White House Press Corp.

I feel that sometimes the media in D.C. really doesn't know what decorum means, or is. They are in the PEOPLE'S house, meaning all of us, yet they seem to think the world revolves around their needs and wants, not the PEOPLES'. It is a damn shame and Mr. Bush should be calling them out on it and stay after them like the snot-nosed brats they are. It will get worse, and then what do we do? Enough is enough, and like millions of others, I'm sick of it.

NBC recently provided this exchange on the Internet: McClellan: "David, hold on, the cameras aren't on right now. You can do this later."
Gregory: "Don't accuse me of trying to pose for the cameras. Don't be a jerk to me personally when I'm asking you a serious question."
McClellan: "You don't have to yell."
Gregory: "If you want to use the-that podium to try to take shots at me personally, which I don't appreciate, then I will raise my voice because that's wrong."
McClellan: "Calm down, Dave, calm down."
Gregory: "I'll calm down when I feel like calming down. You answer the question."
I guess NBC or the liberal known as Friedman forgot to put in the EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <---I found them here.

Quite true,but I would add the following;
The single greatest reason to "hate" the media is because they are, by definition, 'bystanders' and not 'do-ers'. I can think of very few ways in which one could earn a substantial living with less work -- there is no great physical labor in simply repeating 'news' that people would have found out on their own had they actually been there when the event occurred, in acting, or simply yacking on the radio. The only reason many of these people go to college is to learn how to disperse their 'take' in a way that makes it sound logical, concise and reasonable.
Only 'welfare queen' and 'civil rights activist' require less meaningful work than 'news reporter', 'commentator' or 'celebrity'.
That having been said, we must make exception for those who actually do some work in ensuring that what they put out to the general public at least includes a germ of turth and logic; these are people who have a genuine passion for debate and who recognize the responsibility that comes with their ability to affect the thoughts and lives of millions. These people are few and far between.
The vast majority, however, are simpletons and mere gossips, who wear the title 'journalist' in such a way as to appear to be relevant to society.

On a somewhat related note, did anyone see on C-SPam yesterday the International Law conference where Justice Scalia was taking questions? He had to suffer through a bunch of liberal nutjobs in their twenties who couldn't even get out a cogent thought. Some were foreign, others we blathering fools who didn't have the sense to use decorum or manners. One guy got kicked out. Any threads on this?

Hey, I agree with Karl. Old CZK has a nice set of....
Hey, Professor?
Yes, Leela, what is it?
Remember what you did to Bender last week? The little work you did on him for the Drag Queen Ball? Well, do the same for #2.
I'd be delighted!
Later...

Yes, I check your HP often, I saw you corrected that minor error. It makes more sense now, and was emailed off to friends for their enjoyment.
