Third Place - Anita
Anita's back! #6. NYTimes says that Renana Brooks, a clinical psychologist practicing in Washington who said she had counseled several White House correspondents, said the last few years had given rise to "White House reporter syndrome," in which competitive high achievers feel restricted and controlled and become emotionally isolated from others who are not steeped in the same experience. What goes around - this time came around, very fast. #20. President asked 5 European nations to negotiate with Iran on nuclear issue. They failed miserably. Then, our President single-handedly achieves an historic deal with India. If this were a Clinton, the topic of Sunday talk shows will be this. But then, we have Powerline guys to show what it really means and President is received there. # 25. The co-author of the fake AP Katrina Briefing Story and the fake 60 Minutes II Bush national guard story producer in 2005 is the same - Margaret Ebrahim. #104. Media Nuggets has a bit of Russert & Libby. ###### Drudge raised Bill Sammon's book to #1 at amazon in 3 days. Now book fever is catching up. NYTimes WH correspondent Elisabeth Bumiller is taking 1 year leave to write a biography of Condoleezza Rice. Stating conflict of interest, her husband - diplomatic correspondent Steven Weisman was transferred as economic reporter. #206. This is what happens, even talking a lie repeatedly make you believe it is true, ie., the polls. Every network is paying for their pollsters. But they read every nagative poll conducted by others too. And then they read the averarage of them too, to say Bush is doomed. Problem is, NOT ONE of them are reliable with one exception, Rasmussen. #217. I was angry yesterday when Greg Jarret on Fox accusing the student editor as if he did something wrong (they never question when they attack churches or religion) and then bring the "fake koran-gate Isikoff" (who was reponsible for 20 innocents death) as "expert" to discuss about it. #234. Mathews should know, even the NYTimes admits - He's Battered, but His Agenda Isn't Beaten - as broken clock is correct twice daily, as is this NYTimes article about Bush. #275. It 's always good to be criticized than ignored. Bush is being criticized because he 's all the more powerful than media what the media want to believe. Bush is ignoring the media because he thinks they don't have the power they believe they have. 291. You 're right. He is running for mayor because he has no chance of winning Left.governorship back. Bobby Jindal will be the next Gov. #335. On ABC, Jack Murtha just called General Peter Pace a liar. It puzzles me how dems. can get away with outrageous comments like this. Also, 12, 45, 69, 91, 162 and 252
Second Place - Old Friend
John McCain likes to claim he is a "Straight talker", he could take lessons from our top two posters this week in straight talking. #187. Quagmire has given way to Civil War. The media is just so transparent. #220.CSPIN screens the callers and hs become a danger to our society. They allow total crazies to spout conspiracy theories that do nothing but incite people against America in general and the President in particular. #258. "I have repeated over and over......who will be the first politician to stand up and say that the President of the United States has the right to usurp the power of any governor of any state in an emergency" #301. The Opportunist Party is populated by so called republican pundits. They're great partners to the Donner Party. #348 "Just heard a soundclip of Barney Frank......I simply channel surf and catch the most amazing egregious lies and slander coming from the left. And sometimes from the right. Pathetic, isn't it." #405 Sickening in the extreme. Thanks for that bit of info I was lacking. Didn't realize that Ann Richards was in concurrence with the introduction of tanks to the standoff #406. Any inner city in a blue state would be very dangerous for the uninitiated. #421 Weasley was busy trying to get our troops out of harms way when the Rwanda massacre was evident. #578. You can't really be waiting for even handed from the MSM? #583. Sadly enough there was a freeper the other day insisting that perception is reality...NO NO A THOUSAND TIMES NO. Also #187, 209, 225, 228, 230, 231, 232, 241, 247, 249, 254, 287, 290, 301, 311, 298, 316, 318, 321, 395, 341.
THE WINNER - SAMANTHA
The gap between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place this week was very very very narrow. Well Done Sama! #184 "I am afraid William F Buckley has spent two many years in two many Pubs,". #196. "That cover story on the Gay Magazine is why W. Clark dropped like a rock in the competition for the Presidential Primary sweepstakes." #210. "Judging by some of the stories about how these reporters are having emotional problems, we might change the has been media or Old Media to "under Psychiatric care media". #237 Excellent point, we have recognized over the last few years and particularly in the last 16 months since the 2004 Election the MSM has gone quite "bonkers". #265. "The MSM lies,obfuscates,leaves out important facts,does not do their homework,only speaks to negative influences like the Unions and in general mucks up every story." #282. "The problem with almost all Democrats and some Pubbies is that compared to George W Bush they all wear panties and Bras, or appear to." 309. "Exactly, Russert only has Buckley on his program when he will trash Pubbies and the President specifically, or if he wants to talk about "DRUGS". 327. "I believe that without William F Buckley being Rush Limbaugh's role model (besides his Dad), he would not be the Excellent spokesman for Conservatives that he is today." 330. "That is an excellent post. I like that Mentally Sick Media..". #358 "You are right, the Old MSM has been in this blame Bush mode for so long they cannot help themselves. They are like Alcoholics that just need another drink." Also, 416, 446, 453, 472, 499, 510, 516, 524, 538, 547, 565, 584, 590, 600; 622; 633; 673, 679, and 680.
