“Watching Clinton in SC was like watching a mad dog slobber”
MoDo quoting someone else.
Lots of nasty stuff about the Clintons. I am enjoying this immensely.
OMG!
Juan Williams just said that Rush Limbaugh is Republican Establishment, Gov Crist and Sen Mel Martinez are not.
How inverted can this pundit’s brain be?
(RE the NYT story on Michael Yon): “professional journalists”
What an oxymoron.
The NYT writing about Michael Yon is like the Daily Kos writing about Rush, you don't expect much flattery, and take whatever you can get.
The slimes does not have a journalist fit to wash his undies, including Billie Kristol.
"Despite the arresting pictures of Bush greeting foreign leaders and visiting the Church of the Nativity, Saudi King Abdullah's palatial estate near Riyadh and the desert camp of the sheiks of the United Arab Emirates, the president was an afterthought on the news back home. A study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism found that 49 percent of radio, television and newspaper coverage from Jan. 6 to 11 was devoted to the presidential campaigns, compared with just 4 percent that focused on Bush's trip."
Those of us who read the Day in the Life thread every night know how much there was to cover on Bush's trip, and how the coverage would have pleased many Americans who probably think that he spends all of his time at Crawford or Camp David, based on the minimal coverage his activities get in Big Media.
I would love to know who were in the Press Pool for that trip because I have a theory that many of the WH Press Corps are too cowardly to want to be in close proximity to such a target as our president in such a dangerous area of the world. No wonder the short straw drawers had to go.
