Imus was interviewing White House reporter Dick Gregory this morning, and noted that 1) Gregory tried to spin the Harken story to sound like President Bush pulled a Martha Stewart "day before the crash deal" rather than a 3-4 month span of time before there were any problems, and 2) mentioned that DNC weasel Terry McAuliffe made a sweet $18 million off the demise of Global Crossing and nobody is following that up.

It was a sweet moment, and I thought Imus was really on his toes with Gregory. He spanked him nicely, making him look like the liberal flunky he is.

Gregory's just sucking up to the A-List Cocktail Party crowd like all his fellow elitist reporters. His network, NBC, did the absolute worst job reporting on a presidential news conference I've seen in a long time. No matter.

The Harkin story is over. It got a week, most of it on a long holiday and now Bush has upstaged all of them. First, he upstaged Daschle and Dip Geckhardt, then he pulled the rug out from under Daschle by making these securities changes by Executive Order - neatly circumventing the obstructionist Senate. Bush has the high ground and the last word. Can't handle it any better than that.

And the networks are furious.
