I think this is more of a warning to the rest of the herd not to get uppity, or they’ll find themselves attacked on MSNBC and ostracized by the cool kids...
Now Lanny Davis and Ron Fournier have said that the regime tried to intimidate them. Fournier claimed to have been threatened in basically the same words that they used on Woodward.
In the People’s Republic of Obamastan, it is dangerous to write against the government.
