This war is not about Michael Wolff's stupid stories...

Just how many clymers are out there?

This question by the jerk-off Michael Wolff was unquestionably stupid.

And General Brooks' answer was right on...

After his remark about the applause, Brooks told Wolff, in a nutshell, that if he didn't think that the briefings were of value, he could step off.

Right on General Brooks!

It's like I've always said...when a Black person is either a Republican, and works for or supports a Republican administration, the Left considers him an Uncle Tom. That's why I no longer can stomach the Democratic Party.

FOX News showed that exchange today on Special Report with Britt Hume.

Wolff's question was just as oafish, and the B.G. Brooks' response was just as witty as related above.

That's a shame. I haven't seen the officer in question.

I really like General Brooks. I loved his comment that, if they didn't think it was worth their time to attend the briefings, it was their call to leave (paraphrase).

When a journalist says "I mean no disrespect by this question...," you can be damn sure that disrespect was intended. Time to embed said journalist in Iraq. With a name like Wolff, he should be quite popular as a jewish target for the Iraqis that he apparently holds in high regard.

It's kind of like this French jackass Chirac wanting to hear it in the UN from the President and not Colin Powell.

I saw this exchange.

Wolff is an elitist pig of a liberal, he should be placed in Saddam's plastic shredder, clymer first.

'Worthless' is Rush's word, not the reporter's. Rush's charge is weak.

I saw this press briefing today and as appalled at the statment this a-hole made. If he wanted more information for his stupid magazine, he should have gotten himself embedded with a military unit. Of course with his attitude, he would have become a victim of friendly fire his first night out.

"Bones, what ever happened to New York magazine's Michael Wolff?"
"He's dead, Jim."

I am extremely impressed with B.G. Brooks. He is obviously an intelligent, disciplined, and highly accomplished individual. (and he's very nice on the eyes too)

Embed him with Marines on the point of the spear, say up near that beautiful, large lake or below it along the river plain with all the shading palms. Wolff will get the story of his life, if he files it quickly enough.

Wolff was too chicken to get himself embedded and Brooks handled himself well.

The good General should have offered to air drop Wolff into Basra or Baghdad.

General Worthless. If somebody was named General Worthless, it would be prudent to stay out of his way. He would have left a clearly marked trail of bloody noses in the wake of his military career by the time he became a general.

"Charges of racism would be made"

Oh, no, not the left. There aren't any racists on the left(SIT DOWN Senator Byrd, and take that sheet off).

The worst racism you will ever heard in your life will come from a limousine liberal speaking about a conservative black person.

I'm finding it difficult to travel from the body of this story to the title of the post. In particular, I have come to the conclusion that the word "worthless" was inserted into the title by the poster, not the press.

Don't mean to jump on you here, but we have to be very careful about how we present our views; absolute accuracy is a must.
