Rattner Unrepentant On Allegation Suskind Book 'Drive-by Shooting' Of Obama
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

As noted here yesterday, former Obama car czar Steve Rattner, in a Politico piece, lashed out at Ron Suskind, depicting Suskind's book on bad times in the Obama White House as a "drive-by shooting" of President Obama and his staff. That hardly seemed in the spirit of President Obama's pious call, in his much-touted Tucson memorial speech, for people to speak in a way "that heals, not wounds" .

Joe Scarborough called Rattner out on the matter on today's Morning Joe. But Rattner blithely batted away Scarborough's depiction of "drive-by" as harsh and rhetorically inflammatory.

"drive-by"

Once again Rush Limbaugh changes the rhetorical landscape as the media adopts one of his catch phrases.

I'm keeping my eye for his latest: "random acts of journalism"!

When I drive by an outhouse, I expect the smell.

Thankfully, I no longer have to drive by the White House.

Obama is beneath slime.

Is Rat out on parole?

Didn’t he rip off pension funds?

Ok, the obama administration is a union/mob hit on the american people. Gangs, unions and the democrat party are domestic enemies to the Constitution and the public good.

FUBO & FAD

Not to worry, I’m sure Politico will use the same language about the recent Palin books. /sarc/
