So which bank, insurance company, or other business is this guy in charge of as he asks Obama for a billion or two to tide him over until next month.? Maybe I should read the article? Nah. There will be another bloodthirsty bandit sitting with the Presdident asking for a hook out tomorrow.
Mr. Knoller: I don't need to see you writing an article about how Obama's staff obtained a pirate costume for a ten second gag. I don't need to see you raising your hand, pretending that you have a question for the president during a presidential news conference on the eve of going to war with Iraq, even though you, the president, and all the other reporters know full well beforehand the questions and who will be called on. I don't need to hear any fun statistics or presidential trivia like who was the first president to take a bath in the White House.
What I would like is for you and the rest of the White House press corps to start acting like the reporters you supposedly are.
How about asking about Obama's continuation of Bush's suppression of or government's torture policies? How about asking him if he really intends to withhold information about terrorist attacks planned on Great Britain if they dare to release details about the torture of Binyam Mohamed?
That is what a White House reporter is supposed to do.
Does this bozo ever work? Posted by tomadams99 at 8:56 AM : May 12, 2009
I guess this isn't as funny as when George W. Bush pretended to be looking for WMD under his desk while other people's children were dying in Iraq. But oh well-that's Democracy for ya!
It was a hilarious set up, and the book joke--for those of us who follow such things--was brilliant. Y'know, it really troubles me that so many folks who comment on the cbs.com site use it almost exclusively for brutal, partisan sniping. Thoughtful, well-reasoned comments are so great to read, and are often revelatory for me. What a great exercise in free speech! The nasty jabs, however, poison the process.
