The media is doing a great job aren't they?

They are holding the New Administration's feet to the fire!

Aren't they simply marvalous?

2. I was just thinking that, Frenchie...
...as I listen to this "ferocious" press corps, and remember how they allowed Perino/Snow/McClellan/Fleischer to lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and evade and change the subject over and over again every day for the last EIGHT YEARS.

Mind-boggling, isn't it?

7. Their Follow-Ups are to die for!
Wonder if they went back to Journalism School during the transition. How else can one explain the difference in treatment of the Bush Administration, and the first two weeks of the Obama Adminstration? They obviously learned something that they didn't know how to do before.

4. And their chest-thumping over it doesn't cover the stench of their 8 years of negligence.

8. They obviously believe that they have quite a bit to make up for.....
and they are certainly making up for lost ground, from what I can tell.

13. Isn't it glorious!
That's what makes me Respect President Obama that much more.

His feet are being held to the fire by the media, by Dems, by Republicans, and by the world.

Isn't it wonderful?

sure they are all hyped up for Gibbs' press conference. Fuck that noboby has a job and can pay the bills, they will be discussing tax problems. Sad but true.

Fuck all the money being spent in Iraq, this spending for our own country is outrageous!

9. Well, they are being "tough" and "investigative" because
there's nothing more hideous than a tax cheat.

Although I wonder how many of them have fudged on the Gas and Mileage reporting on their tax returns.

10. Like a 3...make that a 10 ring circus full of monkeys.

14. Politico is such a bastion of established Journalism!
One can tell by how many times they are quoted by DUers each and everyday!

I'm saying the change in the reporters is just incredible to watch!

It is full steam ahead!
God Bless them and their producers and editors.

I haven't seen this many Republicans on Television since Bush was President.

The affirmative action given to the Republican Minority by the media is breathtaking!

Aunt Esther (LaWanda Page) didn't take no mess from anybody and didn't hesitate to take out that pocketbook of hers and whoop Fred whenever he did something bad/stupid.

Aunt Esther does not play!

She was my favorite, FAVORITE character on S&S.

S&S came before alot of people's time(Shocking that time goes by so quick) but S&S and All in the Family, etc. were my juvenile glory days LOL! Good memories.
