White House communications director Anita Dunn fired back at criticism from TV commentator Glenn Beck on Friday, saying that a Mao Tse-tung quote Beck took issue with was picked up from legendary GOP strategist Lee Atwater.

"The Mao quote is one I picked up from the late Republican strategist Lee Atwater from something I read in the late 1980s, so I hope I don't get my progressive friends mad at me," Dunn told CNN.

"I sincerely hope Anita is DONE — and takes the rest of the pinkos with her."

The entire Obama administration is infested with communists. If she took them all with her, the only people left in the WH would be the service staff.

Are you saying the attack dog is a BITCH?

Las Vegas Ron,
for some reason, I ended up with a blank webpage (even though
“Done” appeared at the lower left just above the IE 8 task bar.

I don’t know if this is some sort of glitch with my computer, but
I was able to track down the CNN article with a bit of googling.

For late arrivers that have trouble finding the original article
here is the link I found:
