Imagine youre a member of the MSM wanting to minimize the, uh, fallout for Pres. Obama from the North Korean missile launch made in defiance of his explicit warnings. What better way than to trivialize the events significance? Thats exactly what happened on todays Early Show, as Harry Smith suggested the launch was nothing but a goofy stunt.
Smith made his risible suggestion while speaking with UN Ambassador and Obama confidante Susan Rice.

I don't think Smith's Just A Goofy Stunt comment will go over too well here in Japan.

this angle must have been added to today’s instructions to the press being issued via early morning phone chats from the WH
“spin it as a whacky stunt and failed satellite launch by those harmless North Koreans ...”

Yeah, tell that to the Japanese.
If a rocket was flying over Harry Smith’s head, it wouldn’t be a ‘goofy stunt’.
I hate the media.

Did the Japanese attempt to shoot it down? I was without internet access all weekend and haven’t got caught up yet.

No, they monitored the trajectory and let it pass over.

We’ve known what side harry is on for quite a while.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
We’ll see if it’s a goofy stunt after obama disarms us and west coast citizens become sitting ducks. This guy works fast Harry......

I suspect that the doctor who delivered Harry Smith into this world not quite 58 years ago thought his mother was pulling quite the goofy stunt herself.

The Goofy Stunt was Obama thinking the UN would condemn North Korea.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Now, now, we all know that because Obama figuratively shook his Presidential finger at North Korea and put the fear of God into their heads, NK rethought their original plan to fire a rocket that could launch a nuclear warhead and replaced it with a sparkler so everyone could have a good laugh over their “goofy stunt.”

No, all that was a bluff. The NKs called it and Oblammy folded (those cruisers in the SoJ).

Smith probably said the same thing about Sputnik in ‘57. He will still be laughing it off when the NKs put nukes in orbit. Big joke, that. Anyone with half a brain can see where this is going.

Harry Smith is a full partner in the evil and corrupt MSM.
