Ping. Did any of you hear it?

[dalebert]

I missed it but don't doubt that Press said it.Even Knovak is after Bush. CNN is anti-American every chance they get.

[Pete53]

Bill Press is another slimey, sick has been demonRat.

[Torie]

If it is oil, wouldn't Press have been more accurate from his point of view to say that the US is on the take (which is also a wrong headed comment IMO but that can be debated)? The personalization of it seems purile. But then Press's pic is beside that word in the dictionary, or should be.

[Nitro]

If I wanted any sh*t out of Bill Press, I'd squeeze his head!!

[ArneFufkin]

Doug, did you see Bill Press on The O'Reilly Factor? By the end of the interview, O'Reilly was performing every ritual of male dominance short of mock mounting the slob. Press is a dull "ham 'n egger", as Bobby Heenan used to say.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

don't this scumbags we're having a war?

traitors should recieve the just punishment

[ex-Texan]

Bill Press is on the take.

[JessicaDragonet]

People like Bill Press or Bill Maher don't bother me much...they don't make a secret as to where they stand. It's the talking heads on networks that I find offensive. They have traded on the respect earned by others and used it to spew their own agendas. The fact that viewers are leaving them in droves, has not changed their attitude one whit because they truly believe they are right. They actually see it as their job to lead us in one direction or another. They went out of their way to get clinton elected....that alone speaks volumns about their judgment. If Dan Rather told me the sun would rise in the morning...I'd still get up and look outside to be sure.

Each time an American fills up the tank and the dollars and the gallons blink by at the same pace they praise the President.

If the price of petroleum rises he can point to the need for his energy and foreign policies. If the price stays low he can point to the success of his energy and foreign policies.

The Dems have no upside on this one, which is why Press can only put on the tin foil hat.

The left can't figure out which hand to use anymore. It's masturbation either way.

[Jolly Green]

Doug,

This just proves how damn dumb Bill Press really is. Anyone with a brain knows that Bush thumbed his nose at OPEC by shifting millions of barrels of oil purchases to the Russians, causing oil prices to plummet. I don't recall the exact numbers, but Iraq shipped only about 20-25% of the oil in a recent month that they did the month before. Presumably, Saudi also took a big hit.

[Jolly Green]

Doug,

One more thing... Rush always makes fun of his critics who say he (Rush) will lose share with Republicans in power. He says, and Press confirms it, that his share increases when the Republicans are in power because of the hysterical antics of the Dims.

[CyberAnt]

What interests me most is this thread even exists. Bill Press is not even that important enough to warrant a whole thread of his own on FR. Think about it. He's gotten more press (pun intended) here on FR than he will get anywhere else. How about if we just ignore him and his irrational speak!

[Mike Darancette]

Yep, that press is a typical Liberal sock puppet.

Flying below the radar (not mentioned anywhere in FR) is the fact that OPEC has cancelled their announced production cuts (mainly due to Russian increases).

This benefits Saudi Arabia - NO.
This benefits the US "Oil Patch" - NO.
The benefits the US economy - YES.

So who is Bush paying back?

Once again events have conspired to proved a RAT to be wrong.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

BUSH IS ON THE TAKE ? WELL THEN PROVE IT PRESS AND IT BETTER BE DAMN SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE

PISSED OFF BUMPS

I HATE THE PRESS IN THIS COUNRTY

[Bullish]

Press is stool.

[revtown]

Not screwing up the oil prices is one of the reason's Clintoon has been credited with, for not doing anything about terrorism.
So Clintoon was on the take..

[Kermit]

Liberals believe that they are good and everyone else is evil. To the liberal, there are no honest disagreements. If you disagree with a liberal, you must be bought off. I heard this same charge, that Bush supported ANWAR, because he was paid by the oil companies, from my liberal/greenie sister-in-law. I said I supported drilling in ANWAR too, was I bought off? No answer.

[TJFLSTRAT]

Remember this is the same Bill Press that said Charlie Rangle would make a great President!

[sanjacjake]

Bill Press is known for his....asinine views on every little thing....Bob Novak just gives him the "Jack Benny" look.....what a jerk, we should thank our lucky stars that he is a true/blue Democrat.....Press this !!
