This is already beyond ridiculous. I suppose the only thing to be admired about the Clinton administration was that it did have a well run rapid response team that fired back when new revelations of wrong doing was reported. They always defended the indefensible and managed to do a decent job of it.

The Bush administration can't even manage to defend the defensible! Haven't they figured it out yet? Not addressing serious charges just because they are ridiculous ISN'T WORKING! Someone in the White House needs to be forcefull, demand respect and in rapid response mode, calling into news rooms and/or appearing for interviews to squelch this crap before it gets overblown and believed by the general non-political public. This isn't rocket science! Once that accusatory snowball starts rolling downhill without someone to stop it, it's too late.

True. The Bush White House generally had decided to ignore bad press coverage because they figure it isn’t worth their time. To the Bush people, bad press is like bad weather—it’s inevitable, so you may as well ignore it and suck it up. While I admire their thick skins and toughness, it gets harder for them to rally the public when they don’t bother to respond to bad press. Responding to bad press just isn’t high on their list of priorities because they figure “We’re doing the right thing, no matter what those idiots in the press say about us.” Of course I agree with that.

Oh please! Clinton WAS DEFENDED by his MSM 24/7, he did not have to do crap, all this "rapid response team, and war room" spin is nonsense.

Think about it.

The MSM WERE HIS SHILLS, they are the myth makers.

And the myth they spun is that Clinton was a brilliant bad boy and politician.

For example, Dan Rather opened his program EVERY nite with this:

"And now for the news on Republican Ken Starr investigating President Clinton's personal life", look it up, this is they way it was reported on.

IF this were President Bush, Rather would have opened this way:

"Special Prosecutor, JUDGE Kenneth Starr is investigating alleged perjury in the Sexual Harassment case against Bush, brought by a women in his employ while gov of Texas"

Also, the highly rated Today Show did NO stories on sexually harassment, NO interviews of young women being hit on by their older CEO's.

They did do stories on lying and how common it was in this sad situation, stories on the VRWC, on poor Hillary, on Ken Starr and his religious affiliation, his jogging in the park while singing hymns, his possible sexual voyeurism.

This President has not a chance in the MSM, his only chance is the common sense of the public and the maturity of his base.

Of course, he has neither of those, which is indicative of the modern American public.
