Bush Among the Morans
By Wlady Pleszczynski
Published 1/27/2005 12:08:08 AM

Important matters of state aside, yesterday's presidential press conference was noteworthy for the easy contempt Mr. Bush displayed for the Washington press corps. I'd hate to be a mule on his ranch! Bush no longer feels the need even to pretend to be courting any of these critters. If looks could maim, there'd not be a single Washington pressy walking steadily these days.

The president's friendliest remarks seemed to be directed at Fox News' Carl Cameron, all of them premised on the notion that Cameron, like Fox, is a pariah in liberal media eyes:

Bush: Carl, welcome to the beat. Is everybody thrilled Carl is here?

Cameron: Yes. (Laughter.) Thanks, very much.

Bush: Please express a little more enthusiasm for him. (Laughter.)

1. Why are you posting this?
"As usual, the intensely prissy Terry Moran took top prize"

2. Hell must have froze over
The American Diatribe wrote an article which didn't make Bush look like the second coming of Christ! It even makes him look mean-spirited!

3. "A mule on his ranch"
That phrase helps to maintain the pretense that it's a real ranch.
