Never a Texas Two-Step (TIME hit piece on Bush and Tom Delay-another example of terrible journalism)

TIME magazine ^ | Sunday, Jan. 08, 2006 | MATTHEW COOPER, MIKE ALLEN

They WANTED to create a contentious relationship with Delay..while the guy is down???

THAT is a pretty cold thing for them to do...and I don't think that President Bush works that way.

DUH....you are right...how could I forget Chrissy Matthew's obession with Karl Rove...and getting him frog-marchedout of the White House..(as Joe Wilson would say)

I remember how hard they went after John Ashcroft, he was on BOR tonight. They made a lot of Nazi references to him.

[Txsleuth]

I saw Ashcroft...he was pretty tight-lipped, which I appreciated.

It is nice to see someone that knows when to be quiet.

I did think that he didn't look really well.

Good thing nobody reads this rag.

"They WANTED to create a contentious relationship with Delay..while the guy is down???

If they've decided Delay has become a millstone and a threat to thier Congressional majority, yeah, they'd jettison him in a second. Politics is a very, very cold business.

Presidents can only serve 2 terms. : )

Yet more evidence that MRS. Mandy Grunwald (Matt Cooper) is a pathetic hack shilling for the left. He didn't enjoy the success he sought in Plamegate so he's back with this pitiful hit-piece trying to win back some bedroom favors from the one who wears the pants in his household (Mandy).

Forget it, Cooper, the only person left in America who doesn't think you're a contemptible swine is Maureen Dowdy, and even you wouldn't settle for doing her.....

The only good thing I can say about Time-Warner and their publications and tv stations is that they lost Ted Turner a couple of billion dollars on his stock portfolio. If they keep going at the rate they are going, Ted will have to borrow $5.00 to buy lunch....Any wonder why they lost so much after reading Cooper's story? Bye-bye Time Warner.

Is their really anyone left in the Bush administration willing to talk (on the record or off) to reporters from the NYT, Newsweek, or Time? Not many me thinks. I take "anonymous" or "unnamed" source to mean "made up" unless proven otherwise.
