The Press Bends Over for W

Cindy can't get a word in edge-wise, but W is busy entertaining the Mainstream Media Propaganda Machine - no dout to thank them for not asking hard questions, and to thoroughly lubricate his anus from all the butt kissing so he's ready to return to work later this week.

Slice:

Iraq, it turns out, is the one branch of American government that the Republicans don't control.

W. had a barbecue for the press on Thursday night. (If only the press had grilled him instead.) He mingled over catfish and potato salad with the reporters, who had to ride past Cindy Sheehan's antiwarencampment to get to the poolside party.

Dan Froomkin wrote on the Washington Post Web site that many of the reporters "fawned over Bush, following him around in packs every time he moved." W. chatted about sports and the twins, still oblivious to the culturalshift that is turning 2005 into 1968.

Oh, man. The press ignores war protesters to party at Bush's ranch? And right-wing pundits and bloggers still howl on and on about "the liberal media"? AAUUGGHH!

Blogs and Presidents are defined by Comments

Bush is famous for citing favorable comments on the Iraq War from families of dead soldiers who agree with him. But a number of families of dead soldiers have refused to meet with Bush. Has the press covered any of their stories? And why isn't Bush (his staff, unlike bloggers who have no staff) seeking them out to see what they have to say?
