When Clinton, JFK or any liberal said anything funny the press laughed uproariously. If Bush does he's punchy. Who doesn't forget someones name. Milbank really has to work hard to find a problem. Is it worth my time to Email Milbank?
I love the way the media throws the term "approval ratings" around as though it is something official. "Approval ratings" are a product of, by and for the media. They attempt to shape broad public opinion, then pay for phony polls to buttress their point of view.
To put it more bluntly, they create a prophecy, then use polls they pay for to prove their prophecy came true.
I continue to be amazed that anyone pays the slightest attention to media polls. They are scams.

NY POST 'Page Six': "JUST ASKING: Which political reporter ...
JUST ASKING
WHICH political reporter attends so-called "circuit parties" while flying high on ecstasy? "It stuns me that a prominent figure with public responsibility would show such poor judgment," said one witness, "not to mention that it's totally illegal."
I want Rumsfeld as press secretary. I wonder If he'll go for it? Maybe he can substitute or be parttime for McClellan when he's on vacation or something?.
I'm imagining the 'New Rummy Show':
Rummy vs. Helen "the Skank" Thomas
OR
Rummy vs David "the Chimpbat" Gregory
Pop the popcorn!
I pity the fool, Milbank.
Most of that press corp is totally forgetable. Well, except for Helen Thomas but only because she gives me nightmares.
"Bush's presidency is in trouble
Yeah, sure it is. The WaPo said so..."
Yup. I bet he doesn't get the nomination in '08!
What a load. Rush nailed it. Bring it W.
I did not hear it, but it sounds like a nice ad lib - as in, "I know what y'all about - so here you go."
Actually it was kind of from left field. It certainly got my attention.
Helen Thomas looks like an elephant's ass with red lipstick.
The first article I noticed was about his witnessing certain Democratic Party presidential hopefuls dodging the press about the Feingold censure proposal. It had a couple of LOL lines, for me anyway.
I assume he's writing as a analyst/columnist and not a straight reporter. This doesn't bother me too much.
BTW, I love our president more and more these days, and it's partly because of the sort of quips, and behavior Milbank describes.
Could be but an elephant's ass is less wrinkled.
Dana Millbrook is a pussy.
He couldn't shine Bush's shoes.
What a loathesome son of a bitch.
He was referring to a list of journalists to be called on. He has mentioned in previous press conferences that predecisions had been made about the order of questioners.

Dana is a guy? He writes like a little girl going through PMS for the first time.
