Give 'em hell Tony!

[wagglebee]

Tony Snow Ping!

[jdub]

something about this story makes me wonder if this is some kind of misdirection play designed to get the bad guys to act in a way that makes it easier to find them.

Tony for Prez? :)

[inkling]

I think Bill Keller crapped his pants a few times today. I think he needs a long sabbatical in an island retreat... Club Gitmo should do.

[Cobra64]

Blah, blah, blah... Nothing will come of this. It didn't last time, and it won't this time. And.. it won't next time.

Here's why:

[Parley Baer]

Tony has been great. It was a good pick by GW. Most of the left may not like the war in Iraq but our troops are there with their lives on the line. We also have another front in Afganistan. Same situation there. There is a third front in the rest of world. Peoples lives are on the line. I consider this to be treasonist and the NYT should be prosecuted.

[Grampa Dave]

Way to go Freeper Tony!

It is time we hold a huge magnifying glass up and expose these vile MSM when they do seditious things like this.

[bnelson44]

The heat needs to come from the Whitehouse.

[Jameison]

"With the president and the vice president in essence going after the New York Times today, are they trying to create a chilling effect on media outlets that might… "

"Chilling effect"?
I'll give the drive-by media chilling effect!
BY putting the traitorous vermin in the deep freezer till they are like frozen mincemeat.
That's what!

[hinckley buzzard]

Blah, blah, blah... Nothing will come of this. It didn't last time, and it won't this time. And.. it won't next time.

I hope you are wrong, but frankly, I'm not holding my breath.

[NeoCaveman]

The National Review asked the White House to revoke the newspaper's press credentials.

I disagree with pulling the NY Times's credentials

I agree with prosecuting them under the Espionage Act.

[Suzy Quzy]

We want the LEAKERS PROSECUTED!!

[Jameison]

"I disagree with pulling the NY Times's credentials"

I agree with any action against The Slimes.
They don't deserve to be even treated like human beings, let alone given White House credentials.

[chrismich2610]

YOU`RE PROBABLY RIGHT NOTHING WILL COME OF IT BUT COULD YOU IMAGINE A NEWS MEDIUM GIVING UP THE MANHATTAN PROJECT,D-DAY INVASION DATE AND TIME OR ANYTHING AS TREASONOUS AS WHAT THE NYT. HAS DONE. CAN YOU DIFFERENTIATE THE NYT AND AL-JAZEERA.

[PhillyRepublican]

God I wish Bush would take to gloves off and blast the Times for the traitors they are!

[Michael.SF.]

I agree with prosecuting them under the Espionage Act.

If they prosecute them, I would think you would have to pull their credentials, otherwise you would have a huge conflict of interest (even bigger then now) with their reporters.

Personally, I think the WH should pull credentials far more often. Such as:

Helen Thomas, Dan Rather/CBS

[Cicero]

If you don't mind my posting another Tony Snow gem on this thread from today's press conference, here's one I got earlier via email:

Q Tony, two questions. Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney of New York reports that after five different letters from dozens of congressmen to the President, the Department of Health and Human Services has written her on behalf of the President, conveying the administration's support for "the availability of safe and effective products and services to assist responsible adults in making decisions about preventing or delaying conception." And my question: Why did this answer take so long, and why did you and Scott McClellan evade it five different times?

MR. SNOW: Because there wasn't an opportunity for a sixth until now.

The Gov may do diddley squat but we as CONSUMERS can make em sweat. F-THE NY-LA TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[caveat emptor]

something about this story makes me wonder if this is some kind of misdirection play designed to get the bad guys to act in a way that makes it easier to find them.

So the NYT has gone under cover, and is secretly working in cahoots with the Bush administration on this one? Rove is da man.
