Jesus H. Christ. Get a load of this Broder column
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/

David Broder helps the president up into the booster seat ...

It took almost no time for President Bush to put his stamp on the national response to the tragedy that has befallen New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, a reminder that modern communications have reshaped the constitutional division of powers in our government in ways that the Founding Fathers never could have imagined.
Because the commander in chief is also the communicator in chief, when a crisis emerges the nation's eyes turn to him as to no other official. We cannot yet calculate the political fallout from Hurricane Katrina and its devastating human and economic consequences, but one thing seems certain: It makes the previous signs of political weakness for Bush, measured in record-low job approval ratings, instantly irrelevant and opens new opportunities for him to regain his standing with the public.


Washington.

David Broder should be tried for supporting the perpetuation of war crimes
He should be deported. He is not behaving like an American. He should not be afforded the citizenry of an American. He is a treasonous traitor to the good men and women of our country. Put him on the list of human garbage soon to be thrown out! May God show him NO MERCY!

Peace.

29. Here you go..........
davidbroder@washpost.com

Here's my e-mail;

You must have gotten into the First Lady's medication vials, Broder. Bush can't put a meaningful sentence together and you're hailing him as "communicator in chief"?
You've forever branded yourself as a fawning, bush sycophant with this repulsive pack of lies. Anyone who ever did take you seriously certainly won't anymore. What a disgusting display of journalistic prostitution. You should be ashamed of yourself, along with the "communicator in chief".

16. Someone's in total denial...........
:wtf: Communicator in chief? Are you fucking kidding me? The guy can't put an understandable sentence together. He can't communicate within his species, what the hell good is he?

"makes his record-low job approval ratings instantly irrelevant"? You HAVE to be fucking kidding me!

I think this guy got into Pickles' stash. No one in their right mind could make statement like this and mean it. :eyes:

18. I've always barf when Broder is described as a moderate.
He's a conservative, and even though he's not a wingnut, he seems to be moving in that direction.

What's always pissed me off is when some TV interview show has a liberal, a conservative, and Broder as "the moderate." Well, I guess that by today's standards, Richard Nixon would be considered a moderate.

Hang onto the fact that anything you hear or read from this man is coming from a Bush apologist. Perhaps he hasn't had a full glass of Kool Aid, but he's sure been sipping from that cup.

19. This amplifies the difference between 911 & this catastrophe...
After the monumental failures which WAS 911, all of the media was publishing this sort of BS. Keeping the public in the dark.

If they were doing it this time, The RW noise machine could just bully the left into shutting up and/or acquiescence and life and the Bush agenda would go on.

Apparently, D. Broder thought the other media whores would just fall in line again. Watch his tone change when he learns that he is out there alone on this one.

At least Armstrong Williams is young enough to benefit from interest.
