If you've ever experienced a gaggle of honking geese, that is the most apropos image of the WH Press Corps I've ever contemplated ... and David Gregory is that confused gender goose/gander which is constantly pecking at you as the gaggle honks and waddles on by.

You have a most visual imagination, M! And I can just picture what you wrote!

Then again, I tend to think of honking donkeys, not geese.... Every barnyard's got at least one, dontcha know.

[MHGinTN]

Ah, when the gaggle is no longer in the presence of normal humans, the members are transmogrified (as in a magical transformation a la Calvin and Hobbs) into donkey herd, and when two or more donkeys gather, they are constantly nipping at each other. But just let a normal human appear to approach the teeth bared nipping donkeys and they transmogrify back to geese in a wave of startling dissonance.

You may have witnessed Andrea Mitchell when in the company of Tim Rusbucket —she’s all donkey, but just let her sit with Bill O’Reilly and she transforms into a honking goose trying to snap at anything offered. Same for Whorealdo, in the company of fellow leftist lieberal scum --he's a teeth bared donkey braying about nothing, but let Michelle Malkin appear and Gerry Rivers transmogrifies into a honking goose with beak flailing out at her as he waddles his limited intellect about flapping his too little wings.

LOL!!! I gather you saw Michelle Malkin and Jerry Rivers on Fox News last evening. You give a great description of Whorealdo! His limited intellect cannot get beyond the idea of "group politics" -- which is, of course, anathema to the Constitution. The dude is so clueless....

Sigh.... "Clueless" seems to be a general description for these nipping donkeys that "transmogrify back into geese in a wave of startling dissonance."

Thanks for the chuckle, my friend!

Thank you oh so very much for your insights into Huckabee! I missed the debate - now I am sorry that I did.

Who was quoted in that statement? I somehow doubt that he'd have received the endorsement of the National Right to Life group if that statement were true. Or, it could be that he was against parts of the plank because of his Federalist ideas, and this person was issuing a blanket statement based on that.

It sure sounded pretty cut and dried that he's pro-life in the statement he made to the group in the video. I really ike the fact that he's coming out in favor of ADULT Stem Cell research!

Hey SuziQ...that was Terry Jeffrey from Human Events. He stands behind his statement that Thompson was pro-choice at the time, but he is very glad that Thompson is now pro-life.

I consider him a solid pro-life conservative with no reason to lie and he had personal contact with Thompson in 1996. I believe that everyone can draw their own conclusions from that.
Have a great Saturday! Hot in Swampeast Missouri !

Go Fred!

Well I know personally how statements can be misconstrued by folks in the press. I know a family whose son was running for Congress, and a newspaper "quoted" him as being "pro-choice". When the paper came out the following morning, his Mama called him chewing him out. He was flabbergasted, because he'd never said any such thing.

Terry Jeffrey probably concluded that Fred Thompson was pro-choice because of his Federalist ideas that the government shouldn't be involved in every single aspect of our lives. But it may also be true that he at one time felt, as many do, that abortion should be legal in the hard cases of rape, incest, or in the event the mother's life is threatened. I'd read somewhere, recently, that seeing the ultrasounds of his two young children had had a profound effect on him, so maybe he's tightened his opposition even more.
