The liberal press corps is getting as tedious as the democrats.

I wouldn't tell you, either, Mr. Plante.

Nor would I p*** on your shirt to put out the fire.

[normy]

Why is it that Dick Cheney reminds me of Anthony Hopkins in "The Edge" and the media remind me Alec Baldwin in the same movie.

This guy would be trying to set Cheney on fire while holding him at gun point. He would then catch his own shirt on fire and drop the gun. Cheney would then grab the gun, put the fire out, tend to his burns while dragging him on a stretcher he made out of branches to civilization.

They must be nervous that of course they overplayed their hatred hand once again.

I despise them, they the cover the VP as if he wasn't even human.

And have for years now.

Our freedom to know is in jepardy.

Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun awaaaaaaaaaaay!

Sorry about the double post...it's obvious I have a trigger finger...

Bill Plante couldn't tie Vice President Cheney's shoes.
He is another self absorbed airhead.

It's about the fact that the White House is expected to disclose any information about what happens to the President and the Vice-President as soon as they can.

Yeah, right. And how many of you guys were notified that Clinton was getting serviced by an intern in the oval office while making heads of state wait? That has far more bearing on the fitness for office than a hunting accident does, yet no one saw fit to issue a press release on that one.

A comment this morning by veteran CBS reporter Bill Plante, while perhaps intended to be light-hearted, pulled back the curtain....

Bill Plante is a CBS dingleberry. He just hangs on...and on.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I heard a commentator on Fox ask about the time Clinton fell down the stairs and ended up on crutches for a while.

Did Clinton have a news conference on that? I don't remember reading what happened, do you????

I LIKE the vice-president. And the comment is really revealing. If the press is so stupid that somebody actually has to tell them their shirts are on fire, then they're too stupid to bother reading.

BTW, the comment, "Liar, liar, shirt's on fire" may just fit in here, somewhere.

< "But if it were up to Dick Cheney, he wouldn't tell us if our shirts were on fire, for heaven's sake." >

Neither would I...matter of fact...gotta light?

[Fintan]

In any other White House that I've covered, and that's several as you know...

 

Yes, Dick, it's all about you.

[bert]

......It's about the fact that the White House is expected to disclose any information about what happens to the President and the Vice-President as soon as they can.....

The man has just been taught there is no such rule. His expectations have no place in American history. He doesn't make a difference. He is old and CBS and therefore obsolete.

[DeaconRed]

OK
Liar, Liar Shirts on FIRE! ! ! !

[Kenton]

"But if it were up to Dick Cheney, he wouldn't tell us if our shirts were on fire, for heaven's sake."

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.... poor baby. Your mommy stopped paying attention to you, huh?

[L,TOWM]

I know if I got treated like the VP is by these
"clymers", I would'nt SPIT on them if they were on fire...

[wolfpat]

It's their pants that are on fire.

LOL. And that's why they're losing viewers.
