I have to admit, I was cheered by the president's backhanding of this cretin myself!

Before W backhanded this guy, didn't he say something like, "Wow, he memorizes four words in another language and he's suddenly international."?

BUMP for later freeping.

This is a great column, and it emphasizes my frustration with those Freepers who say that Bush has to sign all this liberal garbage "or else the media will flay him alive in the runup to the elections."

As if they are going to do anything else!

If Republicans are to accomplish anything worthwhile in rescuing this country from statism, the have to accept that the mainstream media will be their bitter enemy every inch of the way. And they have to treat them that way.

Great post. This author has summarized the destructive power of the liberal press very well.

What I cannot understand is WHY the reporters who follow the President daily do not see that the fate of our way of life depends so much on his interactions with world leaders. The only conclusion my feeble brain can come up with is that these reporters believe they are immune to harm; that their gated communities and private jets will protect them; that all the effort of President Bush and his administration is immaterial because it is not a Democrat administration..

I'm afraid this will be a career bump for Gregory.

Now, I just wish Dubya would pistol-whip old Helen whats-her-name at one of his press conferences.

Then I could die a happy man.
