The Washington Post published a story on Match 25 faulting President Bush for not injecting himself quickly enough into the tragic killings at the Indian reservation in Red Lake, Minnesota. Post reporter Ceci Connolly found a volunteer at an Indian office who said about Bush, "I don't feel he cares about the American Indian people." This is a classic case of a manufactured story designed to make the president look bad.
Connolly, a contributor to Fox News, wrote that "The reaction to Bush's silence was particularly bitter given his high-profile, late-night intervention on behalf of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman caught in a legal battle over whether her feeding tube should be reinserted." A left-wing website ran the story under the headline: "School Shooting vs. Schiavo: Why is Bush Silent on Red Lake?"
Did it occur to Connolly that Terri Schiavo was alive at the time that Bush intervened to try to save her life, and that the president could not have done anything to save the victims of that slaughter by an Indian youth in Minnesota? That is a clear difference, making the comparison illogical and unfair.

While I disagree with Mara Liason, I don't find her obnoxiously nasty as I do Ceci. I concur heartily with your comments on this.
So you're an Indian? That's awesome. We see people from all nationalities here at FR but you're the first I've known of from a Indian Nation.
I know. She's a real dip. I LOVE it when Brit takes her and Juan to the woodshed. :)
Yes, not only am I a half breed but I am a rare breed. (a conservative American Indian, very rare.)By the way there are a few other Indians on FR. Chad Fairbanks for one.
"DIPWADDLE!" - Fantastic. I love "dipwaddle!"

Great comment, zert! I like it!
Thanks!

I agree.........also with someone's comment about Eleanor Clift. She's the living end as far as I'm concerned. Snobbish, high fallutin' - condescending, snippy, humorless, arrogant..........and always wrong.
There is another one who appears on a lot of shows on Fox. O'Reilly frequently has her on as a guest. Maryanne somebody. I've forgotten her last name. She's in Boston.
Maybe the quintessential model of the worst of the worst, however, might be Christina vander Heuvel. Now there's a snobby female liberal, if I ever saw one. She even beats Clift, so I guess I'd have to say that Vander Heuvel is "the living end."

I guess I should count myself lucky that I've missed Maryanne and Christina vander Heuvel. I pretty much quit watching O'Reilly regularly a year or two ago, when his ratings and ego became simultaneously very large.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
Margaret Carlson is also in that class.
Thanks for the ping!
"That's your problem Cici... Stop FEELING! She should use her brain and THINK for a change!!!"
That expression is a dead giveaway about libs. They preface every comment with, "I feel..." They NEVER think. Libs are totally incapable of rational, logical thought.
