Tempers Flare at Dean/Reid Photo-Op

[NYCGirl]

from http://www.wonkette.com/politics/media/tempers-flare-at-dean-photoop-107269.php

During the photo-op, which took place in Reids private office Brian Wilson (of Fox News) was angrily interrupting reporters and shouting questions out of turn. After an initial swarm, reporters squeeze out of the door. Brian Wilson was wearing no credential of any kind (apparently that wasnt a red flag to anyone) and behaving bizarrely angry as noted above so Mark Leibovich (Washington Post) asked who he was.

Wilson went nuts responding to Mark (whose credentials were clearly on display) Who the fuck are you?

Mark responded that he was from the Wash Post and didnt see cred on him and because of his incredibly pointed questions wondered whether or not he was a rogue republican staffer.

As they raced down the hall outside the austere senate chamber Wilson displayed an impressive knowledge of four letter words incredulous that he would either not be recognized without proper ID or would be called out on being completely one-sided and working from gop talking points.

1. Fox News' downfall is at hand

When Bush, his cronies, and all his Republican friends go down, so too will the Fox News Channel!!!

6. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I hate Faux News! :nuke:

2. Opportunistic headline, eh ?

Veiled insinuation given recent 'events' that the tempers that flared were Dean's and Reid's ....


:eyes: = 'journalists'.

3. First thing I thought

I knew the story before I saw this post and thought, "Um, shouldn't that be 'Temper flares...'?

4. Made me look when I first saw it. (I added the Reid in there, BTW.) NT

7. I know. It should have read........

FOX News Reporter gives Terrorist Threat or FOX News Reporter Sneaks into Press Conference, Goes Crazy.

5. Our side is calling them out

finally! Downing Street is scaring the Chimp. Life is (almost) good... ;-)

8. Even better.

A MSM journalist is calling them out. Are they going to start doing their jobs for a change?

[Patchuli]

18. It's getting too hard for them to ignore

and if the masses are behind them, well I think that maybe they are finally going to do the right thing! It's hard to ignore the amount of people that are disgruntled with this pathetic and dangerous administration when too many of us are vocalizing for them to ignore.

We'll see! Watergate started out small too!

9. I'd love for this to be true

but this a piece from the Wonkette, a shameless gossip blog that whose word can't be trusted. Any better sources?

10. Why do you say her word can't be trusted?

Have I missed something?

She's a hack.

[cry baby]

11. can you give some examples where she wasn't correct, please?

12. folks 06 is big, it's as big as 04, or 2000, it might even be bigger

then 08. we need a win, even if we can just get to 49 in the senate, and tighten up the house. if we drop more seats in 06, they will push every crazy nut ball issue they can think of.

13. 06 is going to be rigged, and so is 08.. (sorry for saying it)

I have no faith in our electoral process, anymore.

[okieinpain]

19. sorry you feel that way, so that means you've turn up your voting

card, and we can expect to see you at the bar instead of the polls on election night.
