What keeps McCellan from taking off his shoe and throwing it at these people?! I'd last a nanosecond in that job. They keep badgering him about the EXACT time of everything. They're pissing over a few hours!
why do i have the feeling that these reporters are hoping for a bad turn here?
Because you're politically savvy?
I wish those reporters would insist on a demonstration...I'd be glad to pull the trigger on them.
Maybe she's dead in her chair. By the looks of her, you'd think she'd been decaying for months.
From Monty Python and the Holy Grail - The Black Knight has been defeated by King Arthur... or has he? "It's just a flesh wound!
He's in ICU because there is a risk of infection with multiple entry wounds. He's fine, not that it really matters to the media.
I was thinking this morning, how this current day press crew would have reported at Weehauken on the Burr-Hamilton duel.
Of course, they would have actually have had to BE AT the duel in Weehauken to be able to report on it.
That's what is frying most of them. They let the story get by them.
"McClellan should have apologized profusely, and kissed up, and come up with a better reason"
Perhaps you would be more comfortable at DU. Since when is it necessary for McClellan to apologize for something like this?? If there is any criticism to be made of McClellan it is that he doesn't react better to the Reporters. Why would he apologize, and for what????
Congressional hearing?
The one word the press will run with is the Buckshot!!
Thanks for the info - I just cannot believe how blown out of proportion this is - at least they're not talking about NSA or Plame leak ; )
20 hours.................... get it right.
The media will find every negative they can: Buckshot, ICU etc, and they'll run with it!
If Clinton had shot someone during one of his hunting expeditions, they would be falling all over themselves with stats about how common it is, how the other guy was in the wrong spot, how apologetic he was about it all, etc. And of course it's quite OK to drown all your children if you're a bit depressed...! What a crazy world we're in now!
In their futile search for 'The Story' look for an interview w/Vietnam veteran John Kerry, intrepid duck hunter dressed in his barn coat and entoning about how HE would have been more careful since he was trained in handling guns for his Vietnam service, and he KNOWS about wounds since he has 3 Purple Hearts.
Yeah, and your failure to answer proves my point.
This was a MINOR hunting accident. No laws were broken, national security was not compromised, and there was no information here that makes it relevent to keep discussing for more than an initial report.
Please elaborate on the value of continuing to discuss this in the media days after the event occured.
You mean the "value" to someone other than DUmmies?
Katie Couric:“Ball-bearings... it's like ball-bearings... right Matt?!!”
You're kidding, right? They did NOT say that . . .
I wonder if he'll have enough metal in him to set off the metal detectors when he flies? Could be an interesting story to tell the screener - "Yeah, the Vice President plugged me!"
