CNN: Howie Kurtz is making sense?

[Cush]

Talking about the "Media Angle" on the Bush-Iraq visit.

Admits that the press was 'gushing' today. Also mentioned that how the lies, decepion, etc involved in the trip have upset a lot of reporters....said they were used by the WH

Also said that once the 'glow' wears off and if troops keep getting killed, there will be even more questions......

----------

Of course that said, the press will kiss *'s ass.

On Edit: Hmm, isn't this why Tapper started on the Gore bashing? Because he got left on an airplane or something? Hmm.....

1. When are the whores ever not gushing at the boy blunder's

amazing feats of mediocrity.

[demgrrrll]

2. Really. Kinda like parents clapping over a child's bowel movement.

Bush is such a tool and they are so blind. I don't get it.

3. he made some good points

said that some in media were angry that bush had basically deceived them for a photo op...

also that some reporters had to be in on it and essentially lie to their colleagues...

[qanda]

4. The official line should be...

Why did you need photographers to be in on it if it wasn't a photo-op?

5. The troops had plenty of cameras in the mess hall for the "surprise" visit

:eyes:

6. I/m watching the whole thing on CSPAN now

the chimp is serving that turkey platter as I type.

they even have a huge, sculpted (out of dough?) cornucopia as part of the spread. tell me they have those all over Iraq.

what a horrid way to end the day.

Letterman had a great joke about it though:

"President Bush flew to Baghdad today to have Thanksgiving Dinner with the troops.....a thousand dollars a plate!!!!"
