So one could say of any president, and has, and will.

Come on. You don't seriously condone Woodward running to the press like this. You wouldn't.

 

Consider the source. I'd expect nothing less, so I'm not going to wallow and whine in wimpy-ass butt-hurt myself.

 

Think we're starting to narrow down who complained to the moderators about this thread.

 

On MSNBC this morning, they had a segment on this and all, after reading the e-mails and putting things into context, were pretty shocked by Woodward's reaction.

They also began telling tales about how they had been screamed at by various Presidential staff types over the years, going all the way back to St. Ronnie and how Don Regan would lay into Andrea Mitchell over something she had done.

The reaction to this has been fairly typical with both sides proclaiming various levels of butthurt.

 

Oh sure MSNBCLSDPMSDERPDERPDERP would say that! Always defending Obama and castigating St. Ronald the Benevolent, Defeater of Communism, Restorer of American Pride.

 

Busted!

 

I've alerted Politico to some of the stories in the Dear Dimwit On The Phone thread that include threats from high school athletes' parents. I think a huge expose on the attack on First Amendment rights of the press by cheerleading moms is forthcoming.

 

I am Spartacus.

 

All I ever could achieve was being one of the random dudes in the long rows of crucifictions.
