Your breath must stink with all that shit coming out of it all the time.

Unfortunately, yes.

Imagine Dan Rather jumping out of the anchor's chair to take the press sec. job for the Clinton administration back in the '90s. Why that would be stonecold evidence of CBS as nothing more than an organ of the liberal political machine.

Of course we need some Tony Snow quotes on the Bush Administration:

– Bush has “lost control of the federal budget and cannot resist the temptation to stop raiding the public fisc.” [3/17/06]

– “George W. Bush and his colleagues have become not merely the custodians of the largest government in the history of humankind, but also exponents of its vigorous expansion.” [3/17/06]

– “President Bush distilled the essence of his presidency in this year’s State of the Union Address: brilliant foreign policy and listless domestic policy.” [2/3/06]

– “George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.” [11/11/05]

– Bush “has a habit of singing from the Political Correctness hymnal.” [10/7/05]

– “No president has looked this impotent this long when it comes to defending presidential powers and prerogatives.” [9/30/05]

– Bush “has given the impression that [he] is more eager to please than lead, and that political opponents can get their way if they simply dig in their heels and behave like petulant trust-fund brats, demanding money and favor — now!” [9/30/05]

– “When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can’t say no. In each of his three years at the helm, the president has warned Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but so far nobody has pushed away from the table mainly because the president doesn’t seem to mean what he says.” [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]

– “The president doesn’t seem to give a rip about spending restraint.” [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]

– “Bush, for all his personal appeal, ultimately bolstered his detractors’ claims that he didn’t have the drive and work ethic to succeed.” [11/16/00]

– “Little in the character of demeanor of Al Gore or George Bush makes us say to ourselves: Now, this man is truly special! Little in our present peace and prosperity impels us to say: Give us a great man!” [8/25/00]

– “George W. Bush, meanwhile, talks of a pillowy America, full of niceness and goodwill. Bush has inherited his mother’s attractive feistiness, but he also got his father’s syntax. At one point last week, he stunned a friendly audience by barking out absurd and inappropriate words, like a soul tortured with Tourette’s.” [8/25/00]

– “He recently tried to dazzle reporters by discussing the vagaries of Congressional Budget Office economic forecasts, but his recitation of numbers proved so bewildering that not even his aides could produce a comprehensible translation. The English Language has become a minefield for the man, whose malaprops make him the political heir not of Ronald Reagan, but Norm Crosby.” [8/25/00]

– “On the policy side, he has become a classical dime-store Democrat. He gladly will shovel money into programs that enjoy undeserved prestige, such as Head Start. He seems to consider it mean-spirited to shut down programs that rip-off taxpayers and mislead supposed beneficiaries.” [8/25/00]

You're right.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/26/wa...=1&oref=slogin

The quotes are taken from Snow's columns.

Personally, when Snow first addresses the media in his new job, he should open with this beauty:

– “George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.” [11/11/05]

and let the chips fall.

But that would leave out all the criminal culpability of the "man."

I also believe FOX news is one-sided, but Snow doesn't seem to fall into the Bush dick sucking category, or at least not as much as their other anchors. I believe Oreilly would let Bush fuck him in the ass if Bush asked him to.

then you don't watch O'Reilly.

No, but I listen to him everyday on 1480 AM while I am at work.

Bill Oreilly and Laura Ingram are the two most sympathetic news talk personalities to George Bush, or at least the only ones that get many ratings.

I didn't even know people still listened/watched Faux. . .the faux "War on Christmas" should have done them in. . .

Oreilly is just like Bush in the respect that he could eat a baby on live television, and he would still some conservative followers.


I can't get NPR on AM radio, which is why I will be getting XM or Serius really fucking soon. I would have already bought one had it not been for Neal Boortz.
