PARIS - President Bush is a straight-talking guy, so what's he doing talking about the EU-3?

It's part of Bush diplomatic-speak. Derided by some as a cowboy during his first term, Bush is ending his presidency knee-deep in group diplomacy.

Throughout his weeklong trip through Europe he's talked a lot about ways the U.S. is huddling with other countries to push for change in rival nations like North Korea and Iran, or push for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

Diplomatic rhetoric that sounds like alphabet soup is not as snazzy as statements like "dead or alive" — a comment he uttered after the Sept. 11 attacks about Osama bin Laden and one he later had second thoughts about saying.

........Who the hell is this Deb Riechmann?...saying this Mr. Bush is a straight talker?...sure he is..and so is she..

1. That's an AP story. n/t

[Cleita]

2. Apparently that story is from AP. Yahoo only hosted it.n/t

[HEyHEY]

3. It's an AP story - also... read what comes after it, the first line, I mean

The opening line about Bush being a straight talker is mocking bush

[Stuart G]

7. Yes, an AP story but..

it made its way on Yahoo News. Someone there chose to put it up as an important story.
,, That is how I found it, and that is why the credit belongs to the Yahoo flunkies as opposed to the AP flunkies. Some AP flunky wrote it, but who put it up there for me to read. So my problem is with Yahoo. It was in my mail box.

[HEyHEY]

9. Yes, but Yahoo news isn't "lying" - AP is

Yahoo news basically just runs off other news agencies.

[B.S. Lewis]

11. Actually, Yahoo is consistently right wing

Take the time someday to compare Yahoo with other online MSM news outlets and you will find that Yahoo's headlines, if nothing else, are much more right-wing. For instance they'll carry the same story about Chavez but put an entirely different spin on it via the story headline.

[Stuart G]

16. I agree with this post..

B.S Lewis is correct. Yahoo's headlines are almost always "more right-wing" I have always noticed this, and often the headlines do not match the story. Many times, they do. So much comes out of AP that you can pick and choose what to use. Very rarely have any of the stories that Yahoo uses, been critical. I do not recall them ever using the word "lie."

4. Yes, Bush and McCain are on the "Straight Talk Express"

Don't cha know?

[HEyHEY]

5. All aboard

[bbinacan]

6. I fail to see the lie.

Can you elaborate?

[Stuart G]

8. Ok..most of us would think of a "straight talker" as..........honest.,

and telling the truth. All of the leaders of Europe and the rest of the world, as well as you and me, know that telling the truth about anything is the last thing on his mind. Telling a lie is what he does better than anything else, and that is not, in my opinion, straight talk....Stuart.

[bbinacan]

14. The headline is a

shot at Bush. Read it again and I think you'll agree.

[HEyHEY]

10. I'm guessing no

Stuart doesn't pick up on the sarcasm in the first line.

[Stuart G]

13. Ok, I see the "sarcasm"

Didn't pick it up at first, didn't see it from the AP flunky. Perhaps she is not a flunky after all. Maybe it is me, not she.....:bounce:

[bbinacan]

15. No he doesn't n/t

[dipsydoodle]

12. As the first reply said

that's an A Pee load of old bollocks.

[truedelphi]

17. Yahoo seems delibertely devoted to taking the most inane

Right Wing clap trap and spewing it as NEWS.

If it isn;t making mountains out of molehills with regards to something Michelle obama has said, it is this kind of nonsense.

[MonkeyFunk]

18. Yahoo is not a news service

nobody writes news articles for Yahoo. They just post articles from news services.

[Imagine My Surprise]

19. AP has had its tongue up Bush's crack for quite some time n/t
