Everyone's favorite rabid Bush-hater is ripping into McClellan at a WH briefing on today's action in Iraq. Gregory is all over McClellan with charges that Bush has authorized this "bloody attack" to raise his poll numbers. Helen Thomas has just chimed in to say that Bush is a war criminal in his "unauthorized attack in Iraq" (unauthorized by the UN abd MSM). That "preemptive war is unacceptable." As McClellan replies Thomas bores ahead. Quite a sight. Reporters are now challenging McClellan on the US' right to defend itself. The masks are sure off the Dinosaur Press, folks.
Continuing...
Gregory is just doing it to impress Howard Dean, like
Hinckley with Jodie Foster.
Good grief! They're LOSING it! The media scum are freaking!
Oh please, he's a bummbling moron and its his job to represent the U.S. administration amongst the attack dog media.
If he can't do his job he needs to step down. That's honor.
Get a guy like rummy up there, a no nonsense kind of guy who will take these guys head on.
And McClellan DOES do his job...every day.
He's extremely faithful. Too bad you don't appreciate a good man.
He does do his job with honor, I sure don't dispute that. It would almost be an act of mercy to put someone else in the position, and give the man a break!
Part of my position is just that. He has been beat up long enough. But it doesn't necessarily mean someone should be put in the position who doesn't do the job with honor, there a lot of ways to shut down a briefing and keep control of the room, with honor.
"We really gotta start taping these"
------someone should really put together a streaming audio/'video/slide show thing which could start with H. Dean's campaign shreiking, follow through with a myriad of images, (my favorite being the Kerry-Edwards feel-up fest during the campaign, when they couldn't keep their hands off each other) and ending with highlights from David Gregory's total of 15 minutes of Press Conference fame.
Any FReepers out there to rise to this challenge? I know it's a lotta work, but I am not technically proficient at this stuff.
ping me to when the replay is on
I only caught a minute of it before leaving for an appointment
#31== that's Helen's "dare ya to rip off this mask" face.
No, the Press are the ones suffering currently. They have plummetting ratings.
I think Pres. Bush appreciates McClellan's service. He's doing just fine.
That would be so unlike David, getting his panties in a wad.
i know just making a joke lol
Scott should ask these reporters why they are so upset the military is going after the terrorists
He is a wad.
the press is "rabid" partly b/c day after day this wimp allows them to walk all over him. Can you imagine this press group treating Rumsfeld this way? McClellan needs to watch tapes of Rumsfeld dealing with the press. 'Does his job with honor' ? again, give me a break. The guy looks utterly weak and gives the impression to our enemies that this Admin is on the defensive. When McClellan leaves, things will improve.
I was in the process of thanking everyone for NOT posting that ole bags photo.
Troll alert.
That's a load.
The press has been rabid since Nixon's day. It's nothing that started with McClellan.
McClellan doesn't let them "walk all over them". He constantly gives them the true facts. He frustrates them because he's not an in-your-face type. Good for him.
