Rossie: Bush barks at media lap dogs

[True_Blue]

When George Bush held one of his rare press conferences the other day, we were reminded once again that such exercises are few and far between in this administration.

We are supposed to regard this as a shortcoming. Instead we should be grateful. We do not need any more reminders that the occupant of the Oval Office is an arrogant frat boy.

He may not be able to master a compound sentence without looking at notes, but he is no slouch when it comes to putting down those he considers his social inferiors, in this case the flower of American journalism, a.k.a the Washington press corps.

Make no mistake, this is not an expresion of sympathy for those people. Taken in by the phony affability and easy accessibility of candidate Bush, they helped elect him with their kid-glove, often fawning coverage. Now they are paying for it, and it would be fun to watch except for the fact that the whole world is watching and wondering how a country that has produced presidents such as Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, two Roosevelts, an Eisenhower and a Truman could come to this sorry pass.

1. What a classless, graceless ass this country has for a president

"Trick question"? For Christs' sake, Ronnie would have handled such a question better than that. Granted, he would have lied, but at least the man would have treated the reporter decently.

5. That's what he said.

I think it was a typo by the author.

..how a country that has produced presidents such as Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, two Roosevelts, an Eisenhower and a Truman could come to this sorry pass.

2. What a good, decent man

Isn't that the line we hear over and over from the great brain washed masses about our fearless leader.
He really must be losing it - even cretins usually kick the dog behind closed doors.

3. "the flower of American journalism?!" What a joke!

and if what's in this paragraph happens America deserves what it gets:
"And the press people he/Bushie2 now treats with such disdain will be right back where they were three years ago, sucking up and hoping that the great man will smile upon them. "

4. I love his writing style!

The only part where it lagged was when he said *bush looks like a ferret, but I can forgive him for that.
