The Press Begins to Revolt
I am actually tearing up, I am laughing so hard. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PRESS SECRETARY GET ROASTED THIS BADLY! EVER!
Whew. Calm down. OK. Check out Crooks and Liars here. Watch David Gregory of NBC news shove a spit up Scotty McClellan’s ass and slowly turn him over a fire, pausing occasionally to brush on a drawn butter sauce and sprinkle him with seasoning.
I’d like to give a shout out to Mr. Gregory. Fuck that. I’m writing a letter.
I’d also like to give kudos to Scotty. Though humiliated in front of millions, he didn’t collapse into a whimpering heap like he has in the past. I think I saw him smirking. Good for him. He’s the Press Secretary. If he doesn’t have the sand to take the heat for the president’s actions he shouldn’t be in the job.
So the Preznit commented on an ongoing investigation (DeLay’s) while before, as McClellan told the press core ad nauseum, the President doesn’t comment on ongoing investigations (Plamegate).
I think we all see how this works. When the president doesn’t want to comment, he doesn’t. We he wants to comment, he will.
Is this any surprise coming the president who said, “I'm the commander in chief, see, I don't need to explain, I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting part about being president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." Once again, this president is not hard to figure out. He pretty much says what he thinks. I almost admire the man for being so openly and brazenly corrupt.
But why would the Commander-in-Chief-see choose to comment on the DeLay investigation? Because he wants his political leg-breaker back on the hill? Because he wants to influence a jury?
Go ahead, you dry-drunk son of privilege. An endorsement from you, at this stage in your career, is the kiss of death.
Jack Cafferty unloads on G.W. at Crooks and Liars (is there any doubt why I have a link to them on the left?). I think the media criticism is getting to the point where we might have a critical mass here. Cafferty just ranted.
