A CBS radio reporter sent White House press secretary Jay Carney, along with President Obama and Vice President Biden, to detention today. It’s called accountability, folks. Their crime: Mentioning the death of Osama bin Laden in speeches so often that it’s beginning to look like they’re using this for what experts call “political advantage.” If [...]
Yesterday, Gawker-loving traitor Jim Newell asked the cogent question “Why did Obama ask Allah to shoot bolts of lightning at soldiers’ graves?” Now, obviously our president didn’t specifically ask the Muslin deity to desecrate our fallen heroes’ final resting place. No, it was more of a tit-for-tat thing: so long as Allah’s enforcers ensured that [...]
On the eve of President Barack Obama’s first official press conference since 1972, CBS correspondent and numbers cruncher Mark Knoller has just released a follow-up to his groundbreaking report on Obama’s golf addiction. This time, Knoller and his abacus have come to some Interesting Conclusions about presidential encounters with the press. The numbers not only [...]
Our sterling Washington press corps’ second-favorite thing to write about, trailing only “their own upcoming books,” is that Obama will not talk to them all the time and entertain every one of their useless spin-ready leading questions. The New York Times‘ Peter Baker is our latest example, having written a SNIPPY article today defending his [...]
There are, in 2010, only two types of political books that get published. Actually there are more, but let’s just say there are two. The first is for elected or appointed officials or staffers, whose financial incentive is to not fix or help the country in any way while on the job, quit after a [...]
CNN’s beloved Ed Henry shares this picture from today’s White House Press Briefing, where everyone is just watching teevee. Those lazy slugs! It’s a beautiful day outside, and everyone should go play on Sasha and Malia’s swing set. CORRECTION: It’s a beautiful day outside, and everyone should go play Xbox on Sasha and Malia’s swing [...]
The most challenging investigative task a prominent Washington journalist could ever face in his or her career is to cover the White House Pool Report beat, where our greatest reporters take turns following the President during off-hours — just in case anything like a sex affair or juicy “gaffe” happens — and then share the [...]
Here is a clip from today’s White House press briefing, in which the hairiest man alive grills Robert Gibbs: what do you think your perception of the perception of the political perception of current political politics will be if political things happen for Democrats or Republicans in the political governors’ races in Virginia and New [...]
Uh oh, Nobama has been gettin’ the business ever since he said those Cambridge Coppers acted STUPIDLY when they arrested the black guy in his house, for yelling. So here he is offering his unique Obamapology at today’s White House Press Briefing, saying he could have “calibrated those words differently.” Okay! Huh? It was definitely [...]
At Tuesday’s Obama Press Conference, CBS’ Chip Reid wanted Obama to admit that Lindsey Graham and John McCain were finally knocking some sense into his weak skull about how he needed to yell at/bomb Iran some more. America aids its friends of course! And even though Obama only kicked up his rhetoric a half-degree or [...]
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Here we have excerpted the traditional “red meat” portion of a Barack Obama press conference, in which we hear from all three network news correspondents, consecutively. Why does Obama cave to John McCain and Lindsey Graham and hate Iranian people and lie about [...]
Iran is on the cusp of something — who knows what, but everyone’s sure! — and health care reform is free-falling towards a centrist compromise to give the uninsured thirteen cents and a get-well-soon card, but here’s the pressing issue for the White House, if we are to believe Fox News’ Major Garrett and some [...]
Here’s your perfunctory White House Press Briefing clip of Robert Gibbs explaining the YouTube, how it works an’ all that, to the important journalistic reporters. But why is the Maria lady on these YouTubes telling White America that it is the appellate judge’s role to import cocaine and abort teenagers? You decide. [YouTube]
Here is your Robert Gibbs trying to explain to the gotcha media that when Joe Biden said “Anyone in America who goes into any sort of enclosed space will die like hotcakes,” he really meant, “God bless the troops,” because nobody messes with that Joe. (?). This does not satisfy America’s top newsman, Jake Tapper, [...]
