Well, Helen, let me answer your opinionated question.

He gets paid the big bucks because he knows how to politely rephrase “Listen, bitch.”

Amen to your 'big bucks' comment. The White House Press Corp is a motley brew of liberal swill (with the exception of Fox correspondents). Their bias is as apparent with Fleisher as it was with Lockhart. I swear, if I looked hard enough I could probably find this question asked during the infamous period often referred to as 'the last eight years':
