Hmmm, the only two groups that I loathe more than the senate/house critters: the Obamaloon and the MSM are having a spat. Love it.

Call me when the sum of their IQs reach room temp.

Eventually the press will discover that they can’t be very prolific typing with only one hand at a time.

Take a breath?

Hell no. I want them to keep fighting. I want punches thrown. I want noses bloodied. I’d like the press to ask questions that piss off Obama because they expose him and his lack of logic and intelligence. I want him to keep saying for four years, ‘come on guys, I just came to say “hi”’ and getting ticked off that he is being asked to provide details and justification for what he is or is not doing.

If anything it’s a temporary measure to disguise their complicity in enabling a tax cheat to be put in charge of the IRS.

Ann Coulters new book "GUILTY".. seems to be having "an effect".. You know, beacuse ITS TRUE... every line of it.. The media is SMARTING from the direct obvious truth of it..

THEY have bended over and received total propaganda (from Barry O'bama) willingly and with aforethought.. and some are presently wondering how they have become "bewitched"..

At least I hope this is so.. When does the comedians get started on O'bama.?.. There is SOOOO much material..

Mr. Obama also said he gave his signature "fist bump" to press secretary Robert Gibbs after the spokesman's maiden news conference.

Terrorist fist bump.

the only way he sees Mr. Obama getting bad press is if he commits bumbles or gaffes like Bill Clinton's tying up Los Angeles airport while he got a haircut.

What about appointing terrorists, thugs, and criminals to cabinet and other high-ranking positions in the administration?

Well, I think they will... sort of. They were’nt always glowing about Clinton, they got mad at him and vice versa. But at the EOD there was no doubt who’s side they were on.

How about jerking press credentials from anyone who irks him? That Robert Gibbs seems to me to have a think skin. It might be fun to make HIS head explode.

Bingo. The press whores are going to pretend to be all objectively journalistic about relatively trivial matters in order to “balance” their smooch-fest on the important matters of policy. Too little too late, they’ve already themselves for the absolute whores they are, after the travesty of this campaign, there’s no going back. It’s been a long time since they were unbiased and objective, but this campaign they made no bones about their blatant and open bias. It’s like losing your virginity-once it’s gone, it’s gone, and there’s no going back. They lost that a long time ago, even before this, but this is the time they came out in the Fredericks Of Hollywood get-up and didn’t even pretend to be anything but whores. Now they can’t deny it-heck, they were proud to his whores to get him elected, why bother now?

Must be something in the political air-the media are whores, the congress are whores. They helped Barry to the White House, and now the congress is helping to make the office of the Presidency a tyranny where their job is to just toe the line. They are doing it well, all they ever needed was the right price.
