Fox spin: Eager troops held back from applauding by their commanders

[quaoar]

Carl "Ass Kisser" Cameron said that the troops were enthusiastic about Bush's message but were told by their commanders not to aplaud.

Cameron blamed the one break for applause on some Bush staffers who started applauding, prompting the enthusiastic troops to be unable to restrain themselves any longer.

It was an amazing display of ass kissing by a real pro.

3. Oooops, Carl....does that mean the Commanders don't support

their commander-in-chief-in-the-highest?

(edit: time for a purge of the senior military, dubya?)

4. I think Fox gets it real quick that the "staging" and "tepid"

response needs to be dealt with immediately because since that was the only news item to come out of this useless speech/event

5. "Told Not To Applaud"?!?!?!

Oh sweet jumping Jesus! They probably told them not to throw things..

[quaoar]

6. And after listening to Cameron's bullshit

I switched over to Hardball and Mathews was interviewing the wife of a soldier who was babbling about how we can't expect Iraqi troops to know what to do just like she can't expect her 9-year-old to be able to drive yet.
