Tina Brown: Bush is a dense, angry, taciturn, dry drunk, second-rate actor

TINA Brown, whose CNBC show was canceled when the war began, has lashed out at President Bush. Comparing him unfavorably to Brititsh PM Tony Blair, whom she terms a "saint," Bush "has the damped down anger of the dry drunk," Brown writes in her Times of London column. "There is something dense and taciturn about Bush even when he's being charming . . . When he's not scripted, his bald answers seem to be covering up ulterior motives. . . . Bush seems as occluded as a second-rate actor." Meanwhile, Brown says she's thankful that at least she didn't go down like Peter Arnett. "Being pre-emptively struck off the air is a more honorable way to go than the bum's rush administered to other cable-news types such as poor Peter Arnett or the world-class swaggerer Geraldo Rivera." Comparing her plight to that of Phil Donahue and Connie Chung, Brown writes, "Perhaps canceling shows before they start will be the wave of the future. As usual, I'm there."

I really despise that Tina Brown ... she's a prissy moron IMO. I can't believe CNBC actually even considered giving her a show, particularly since they already have more liberal oozing than anybody would ever desire, what with Martha McCallum, Clinton love-boy & DNC suck-up Christopher Whitcomb and now, even worse, Gloria Borger.

Yeah..I read this article last week and sent off an email to inform her how freaking idiotic she is. Isn't it interesting how W can evoke such a cry of desperation from these slimeball liberals.

Tina Brown's comments say more about her and her worldview than they do about the President.

Tina who?

"When he's not scripted, his bald answers seem to be covering up ulterior motives. . . . Bush seems as occluded as a second-rate actor."

Thank you, Dr. Sigmund Fraud. My, how these lefties are filled with hate.

Why not? She's a goop gobler just like the others you've listed.

TINA Brown, whose CNBC show was canceled when the war began, has volunteered to have a live, televised colostomy (without lubrication), ala Perky Katie Couric, in an effort to give her failed 'carear' a push from behind.

Bill Maher and Kato Kaelin deserve one another. A has-been and a never-been. Can you imagine what Kato's mother thinks? "My boy, bless his heart, the hanger-on who never actually held a job in his life! I'm so proud."

How can a "bald" answer cover up an ulterior motive? The term "bald" means "uncovered"...get this editor an editor...she can't compose a sensible sentence.
