As Karl Rove embraced President Bush today following an emotional farewell announcement on the South Lawn, the solemnity of the moment was shattered by Bill Plante of CBS, who bellowed to Bush: "If he's so smart, how come you lost Congress?"

Figures. Why would we expect the press to be any different today?

Hey Bill, if CBS is so smart, why are they trashing out in the ratings?

"If he's so smart, how come you lost Congress?"

Given Pelosi's performance so far, what makes you so sure it wasn't a deliberate strategy? ;)

Should have this guy frog-marched out by a coupla Secret Service guys, and told never to come back, nor to send anyone else from CBS to the White House as long as Plante works for them.

I didn’t realize that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove ran the GOP congressional campaign committee last year. What morons these presstitutes are!

Yes, the talking heads in the White House press corps don’t even pretend objectivity any more; the cat is out of the bag. My faith would be at least partially restored if they’d just admit it.

CBS is just trying to dredge up an audience for Perky Katy’s show. I don’t think it will work, Bill.

Just what one would expect from the Tiffany Network...a classless, clueless and biased reporter who felt a personal need to put his own pettiness above the news.

The people who run the MSM claim to be the elite, but go on to prove on a daily basis they are actually brain dead. Does anyone expect Bill Plante to be censored for his juvenile behavior or will he stand a good chance for promotion? We all know the answer to that one don't we.

Of course he did the same thing to Clinton when he lost Congress on an even larger scale.

Well, he has a pass on the claim that he is a journalist...

I say this proves he isn’t and his Press Pass should be removed....

"If he's so smart, how come you lost Congress?"

Oh, yeah? If Bill Clinton is so great, how come he dropped his drawers?

Oh, yeah? If Hillary is so great, how come half the voters won't vote for her?

Oh, yeah? If John Edwards is so great, how come his mansion is smaller than Bill Gates's?

Oh, yeah? If Jimmy Carter is so great, how come he lost the Presidential election?

Oh, yeah? If Nancy Pelosi is so strong, how come she can't move her face?

LOL! Well, there are certainly more intelligent people on this thread than ever watch The cBS Evening Propaganda. I, happily, could not pick Bill Plante out of a lineup.
