When one flies off, they all fly off...
Read Greg Mitchell's listing of the media's adoring response to the "Mission Accomplished!" episode. Nearly every famous American mainstream media personality is there, enraptured and captivated by the grinning "boy president," the man who is now the most unpopular president in American history.
Like birds on a wire, when one flies off, they all fly off.
When we read it, and when we weep, we should ask ourselves: "Where was the judgment of the entire media establishment in this shameful episode in American history?" Who has done more damage to the American republic: George Bush or a compliant mainstream media that has been his enabler?
Remember this war will cost us between $2 trillion and $3 trillion dollars. Think of how we could have spent that money otherwise.
Be sure and scroll down and read Maureen Dowd's fawning, over-the-top column. Given that column I dare any of us to take this woman seriously again.
I can't help but add a comment on President Bush's clownish performance before the National Press Club. He had them laughing. As a friend here in town said, "He missed his calling. He could be a stand-up comic"
Actually, I suspect that behind that swagger, that bravado, that gunslinger stance hides a little boy who is saying, "They bought it! They bought all of it! Who would have guessed?"
