Wouldn’t you like to be the fly that’s been buzzing around the smelly-in-chief during that meeting? Can you imagine all the fawning and sycophancy going on with that crew of throne sniffing rump swabs? Every one of them will come out of there with a brown nose.

In my view, the MSM transitioned from heavy liberal bias to integral members of the Baraqqi regime in early 08.
