How much do reporters hate George Bush? Newsweek correspondent Michael Hirsh appeared on the left-wing Young Turks radio show and cheered on the Iraqi journalist who chucked his shoes at Bush. “They have reason to be upset with the author of this, and a shoe aimed at Bush’s head is not such a terrible expression of some of that frustration.” He suggested the Bush era was a time of “mass hallucination” and Obama’s rise put an end to the madness. Hirsh wished Bush good riddance: “This guy’s about gone, and we can stop pretending that there was any kind of, you know, rational strategic motivation behind this act of war that he committed.” Hirsh said Bush and his team have “blood on their hands,” but will never admit they were wrong. “Bush is not going to end up in The Hague obviously, there’s not going to be any charges against him, and so, you know, a shoe shied at him by an Iraqi journalist might be the one small measure of justice that was achieved.”

This explains the weirdly stilted way the article is written. The account of Barry feigning surprise reads like fiction crafted by David Axelrod and fed to friendly, naive journalists who will unquestioningly and dutifully print whatever they are instructed to print from the WH. Barry is solely responsible for shoveling stacks of tax dollars into the pockets of bankers with no benefit to taxpayers. Barry has accomplished the near impossible feat of using the Federal Government as a tool to benefit the most undeserving people on both the right and the left. Dem. voters should abandon ship now that it’s clear that Barry will sell them out so easily whether out of ignorance or design.
