MSM beginning to Feel Like a Jilted Lover
Oh, the irony in watching Chip Reid and Helen Thomas argue with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs about the façade of the Obama ‘Townhall Meetings.’ During the presidential campaign, nary a word was spoken about the silliness of calling press conferences Townhall Meetings, simply because the press was blinded by the high school crush they had on Obama. But now, after they’ve realized that conservatives were right all along, they argue and bicker like a scorned lover. I never thought the day would come that I cheered for Helen, but during this video, I found myself in a strange place rooting for her to ‘light Gibbs up’.

Happy 4th Gawfer
I wish the SRM(state run media) would call Obama out on his support for the ousted tyrant and drug dealing Honduran
ex-president who violated their constitution and his ties with the midget from Venezuela
Obama protecting one of his own.

I was shocked when I saw this video last week. Who would have guess it?

don’t forget:
“The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation.”

LOL, Wage Slave, I am not as generous with my site as Jenn is, so after saluting the Ensign, you may mill about smartly but as you represent a political position I truly despise, mind your manners.
Now, to your comment:
John Adams was speaking directly to a state sponsored religion like ‘the Church of England.’ Context my boy.
Though that number is down from 10 years ago, it still clearly indicates the United States is predominantly Christian.

Jilted lover? That’s a good way to put it. If you’re to the left of Helen Thomas like Obama is, you’re off the charts.

I do enjoy watching politicians getting called out on the carpet – no matter what their stripe.
Thank you for posting this. I’d heard about it, but not seen it.
One troubling and recurring theme is when the going gets tough – i.e., they are getting their ass handed to them by a woman, Gibbs was Mr Condescending. Nothing will top Obama’s campain trail “ok sweetie”.
Buyer’s remorse? As if the alternative would be coming up with better policies? I dont think so.
The good news is the opportunity for a real leader to emerge. There are many reality tv star politicians in the US at the moment, but people, including Helen Thomas, are crying out for substance.

Gawfer,
I will certainly treat you and others on your blog with respect and manners. I presume I will be afforded the same?
It’s no fun going to the lefty blogs, other than for a few laughs and leads.
And I truly despise a lot of what you say too and find the hyposcrisy and lies dispicable. If you’re not interested in a respectful view from the other side, I will stay away.

but back to the point – I can’t deny that most Americans identify as Christians, but the founders wanted it OUT of government and many were agnostic and so far left for their day regarding religous views.
To some how claim that a simple majority rules in the case of ‘national religion’ all while crying fowl when the left points to majority opinions regarding abortion rights, environment, and many others, is extremely hypocritical.

I guess the new car smell is wearing off. Do they finally get it?
I could almost hear helen cackling out, “I’ll get you, my little pretty, and your little dog too!”
