Washington Journal this morning
I watched a Washington Post reporter defend Bush and his wife against any and all claims. Mike Allen of the WaPo went on to explain why it was important to the felony investigation of the White House that Wilson supported Kerry: "it goes to his(Wilson's) credibility".

What a Bush suckup. He thought Bush's poem was endearing. He got all serious about Bush visiting Iraqi war wounded, saying that Bush had set it up so that he could visit some soldiers without the press knowing so that it wouldn't be a photo op. Yeah, Mike, then he made sure the idiots in the press KNEW that he had done it. He defended Bush AND his wife, and claimed no knowledge of the OSP out of Cheney's office.

Man, if most of the Washington press is as compromised as this loser, it explains why negative stories about the Plame outing and the Bush administration are hard to find. The press is NOT going to help America solve the Bush problem.

This guy is totally petrfied that he will say the wrong thing and lose his cushy position.

I so wanted to call and say, "Sir, you are not a journalist, you are an ass-kisser."

2. What was up with that?
Every fact that went against his little Bushie he had to chime in and "correct" the "misconception."

6. It goes to Wilson's credibility
...but Wilson's credibility is relevant how, exactly? HE'S not the one saying his wife was a CIA agent--at least until DOJ acted, he was scrupulously careful about that. And now that it's a public criminal matter, there's hardly any doubt about that. So his credibility is irrelevant there. His credibility about the yellowcake matter? Already proved correct, and anyway, quite irrelevant. Even if he were shown to be wrong about that--even if he were shown to be a blatant fabulist about everything in his life--his wife is still a CIA agent who was outed by a leaker, whom Novak identified as being in the White House.

I just get so irritated at this--not only is all the shit they're trying to bring up about Wilson just essentially untrue--he served in the Bush I admin with distinction, he contributed to Bush II--and not only is it only being brought in to further the smear attempt against him, it is fucking IRRELEVANT.

8. Credibility? How About Sentelle, Fiske, Starr???
And those were the "Independent" prosecutors. Dare we discuss the credibility of David Hale, Linda Tripp and so on. You never heard their party affiliations or their connections anywhere as much as this smear campaign on the Wilsons.

This guy was pathetic...definitely set on his views, the worst trait in a "journalist".

Someone discussed the "Bushwhacking" of Tweety and his recent "revelation" (surprise, suprise) that he voted for the manchild. Knock me over with a feather. The poster noted that Tweety, like many inside the Beltway, love the glory and trapping of fame and power and no one can make someone feel that way than the GOOP. Especially now that they control so much access.

This media whore is more worried about his access and Dubya nickname than he is in judging this regime in the same view he and his other "liberal media" bretheren did with Clinton.

9. Wilson's credibility?
Is this guy serious? I would say that Bush's admitting that the Niger story was wrong shows just how credible Wilson is.

10. Re-run: VT Caller Is One Nut
She not only said that Shrub is the most honest human being who has walked the face of the earth, but she said that Shrub "does not wear the European suits that his predecessor did,"--------LIAR LIAR: Shrub wears $1,600 suits, whether Oxxford (U.S.?) or Savile Row. After her frothing over Shrub, she ended by saying Ahhhnuld has no place in U.S. politics for mistreating women and adoring HITLER: Go figure.
