I believe the original hit piece was written by Bush-hater, Dana Milibank

Really?! I have often seen him on MSNBC commenting and agree he is anti-Bush, but I have to say I am surprised to find how devious and deceitful he really and truly is, if he was the author of the original article.

It will be interesting if he is still called upon to commentate. Of course, I expect to see him next on Chris Matthews with Matthews nodding along with every ill-conceived "insight" offered.

You really should get a copy of Bill Sammon's book. Sammon details how the White House press office was dumbfounded at Milbank's mocking of the president and lack of respect. Sammon saw it first hand.

Almost any time there is a story slamming the administration, you can bet that Milbank is on the by-line. He specializes in "unnamed sources" and ellipses, as we see here. He is a liar and as far as I am concerned, as long as the Post employs him they have zero credibility.
