[flordehinojos]

WOW!!!!!!!!!! "HOW DARE YOU PUSH MY PRESS PEOPLE AROUND?" CRIED
CONFRONTEEEZA RICE. YOU ALL BETTER APOLOGIZE OR GEORGIE BOY WILL COME AFTER YOU ....her fierce look and dart throwing eyes warned them!

[jim3775]

1. Waaah I wasn't treated like a queen for once waaaah

:nopity:

[Moochy]

2. Mrs Grenspan

Yeah while people are killed in that same country she's pissed about Sudan's guards pushing around Mrs Greenspans' peice of ass. (shudder)

[WhiteTara]

3. they should consider themselves lucky

we just shoot the press in Iraq. :nopity:

[Zorbuddha]

4. Funny how macho they are overseas

and how they are such lapdogs at home.

[Jersey Devil]

6. great point - Think Andrea would ask a question of Bush

in one of those deals where he says there will be no questions at the White House? That's what she did in Sudan after they said there'd be no questions.

[oasis]

8. U.S. press:"Bulldogs overseas" but "lapdogs at home". That's it.

[progressoid]

11. Well...

Some are "bulldogs" right in the whitehouse press corp, if you know what I mean.

Wink, wink.

5. Hilariously one right wing blogger is demanding LIBERALS do something....

http://austinbay.net/blog/?p=435

Guess even he knows pResident Weaksuck isn't going to do a thing....

P.S.: Wonder how long my comment will stay up?

on edit: It was there less than two minutes....

[Carni]

9. LOL! Do something about old horse face getting pushed?

That's rich!

She gets shoved by THEIR dictators as opposed to what?

Our dictators trying to ruin the commentator and then outing their spouse as a CIA operative?

Yeah Andrea, I am real outraged by this (Heavy HEAVY sarcasm off)

[MrBenchley]

13. Rich, isn't it?

One wonders why they don't address their plea to their fuehrer.

[MrBenchley]

22. My new comment

"Think that a third world country would dare do that if we didn't have a weakling and coward as pResident? But we do, and he's also alienated every ally we've got in the world. And as a result, this incompetent drunk isn't going to do anything about this but dodge questions."

Don't blink or you'll miss it.

On edit: Gone again...

[RummyTheDummy]

Flame away, but I find this incredibly funny

In fact it's a gut buster. Look, one would think jack booted thugs are Andrea's kind of people. She goes out of her way to felate the current crop of jack booted thugs in the White House on a daily basis. She's a complete JOKE.

[Carni]

10. Certainly no flame here...

Given her husband's position in the Gov I don't understand how she is even given political assignments--it certainly seems to me to be a massive conflict of interest esp in light of the fact that she has been such a WH cheerleader.

7. I wondered how

long it would take for this to show up on DU.

I saw it on the streamer on MSNBC this morning but none of the talking heads were saying anything and i didn't stay tuned in long enough anyway.

Apparently some of Condi's staff was also "forcably (at gun point) denied access to the venue.....

Also, again just from the streamer, Condi said it "made her mad" to see her press corps pushed around like that....although I'm guessing she was just jealous of the Sudanese for being able to get away with treating the press like that...especially at GUNPOINT!

[Lefty48197]

12. Why was Contbeleevya Rice meeting with that butcher anyway?

Was she going to offer him a job in the Bush cabinet?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

20. Contbeleevya Rice

now that's a keeper:yourock:

[dogday]

14. Here we are making friends and influencing people

Then back on AF1

[DanCa]

15. I must be from a different time.

In my day men didnt going around pushing women regardless of whether we particulary cared for them or not. (Shrug)

[Disturbed]

19. Can Amerika spare some troops to

Change that Regime?

[evil eggplant]

16. Feeling up Condi..

Me, I think they just wanted to cop a quick feel of Condi.

[cynatnite]

17. They didn't want reporters asking about genocide

or the govt. involvment and they got physical with the press to get their point across.

But for some reason that's not what's being discussed here. :shrug:

[stray cat]

18. What if Bush Co routinely punched out reporters?

Particularly foreign reporters who question what he was doing in Iraq etc. Would that really be acceptable behaviour. I don't like to see any reporter pushed around. Whether it is an American or foreign reporter. When foreign reporters get killed or wounded in Iraq because of "misfire" don't we generally condemn it? I know I do.

[theHandpuppet]

21. We've treated visitors worse at our own airports

Has Dubya made a public apology?
