Flowers for the rest of the press corps.?

[Joe Fields]

I applaud the coordinating efforts of those involved in the "flowers for Helen" campaign. She deserves accolaes and recognition for doing her job.

How about a similar campaign to send dead, black roses to the complacent, lapdog journalists who cover the White House, giving the prez a pass on scandal after scandal?

Just a thought.

3. Wouldn't dog biscuits be more appropriate for the lapdogs?

Or even fecalgrams to thank them for shoveling so much of this (mis)Administration's bullshit?

5. Isn't there some flower that smels like carrion?

That could be appropriate.

6. There are a few who ask good questions, just not as consistently...

David Gregory has shown some courage. There are a couple of younger female reporters who do as well, but I don't know who they are.

Bottom line, we should be careful about the broad stroke paint brush approach unless we are really sure. There are certainly tons of Bush* sycophants, but it is possible that the editors and publishers are silencing reporters who submit critical content.

8. David Gregory excluded, of course.

As for the rest? Black, dead roses. Or a dog biscuit.

7. There's a Victorian language of flowers

Men would send bouquets to their love interests, and the flowers would tell them the message from simple statements of love to running of together at a certain time. For instance, red roses means love while yellow ones mean goodbye.

One time I went to get flowers for a then-girlfriend, and the lady behind the counter suggested a particular kind, and I refused, telling her what it meant in terms of the Victorian language of flowers. She looked at me strange, got out a book, looked it up, saw that I was right, and looked at me stranger. Since it was a small town, I said, "I'm not gay. You heard me ask for flowers for my girlfriend. I only know about the Victorian Language of Flowers because of a Batman comic book I read years ago!"
