A typical cheap-shot from David Horse-ass.

Whose side are these reporters really on to write such nonsense?

Nethercutt caught the P.I. in the act of deliberately distorting his comments about Iraq, and rather than admit their error, they are repeating it by portraying Nethercutt as a boorish loudmouth disrupting a funeral.

What he actually said: "I'm just indicting the news people, but it's, it's a bigger and better and more important story than losing a couple of soldiers every day which, which heaven forbid is awful."

So, while Democrats can say "white-n*****" with impunity, any string of words that can be taken out of context and used to make Republicans look bad can and will be used against them. Seems fair to me - not.

An amazing cartoon, on the heels of an amazing (and unretracted) misquote. Who do these people think they are...journalists?

Horses-ass is exactly that, plus a liberal, socialist slimeball. I have emailed him and told him as such, but of course you and I know they don't give a rat's ass what we say or think and continue their slime.

I sent Horsey an email, but it will do no good. I know from experience that he's a pompous ass who thinks he can do no wrong. Nethercutt caught the P.I. with its pants down, acting in a blatantly partisan manner trying to give the Democrats an issue. And the Dems said, "Thank you very much," and took the hand-off and ran with it.

Needless to say, this dicknose is a Pulitzer prize winning cartoonist.
