Rove calls WH press "weenies" and other goodies on the bushgang

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/politics/administration/whbriefing/?nav=hptop_ts

this article has too many goodies for me to post, but you will be glad you read it.

Rove is disdainful

Smirk razzed the press

Cheney is a 'visceral unilateralist,'

Smirk bad mouths trial lawyers in Little Rock (my comment: why does Smirk go there so much?)

Smirk's jokes at the top secret Alfalfa dinner

etc.

1. The lead from the story

Rove Teases Press Corps 'Weenies'
Tuesday, Jan 27, 2004; 10:03 AM

Members of the "travel pool" -- the reporters and photographers who actually travel with the president on Air Force One -- normally arrive early and get in position outside the plane to watch the president alight, so they can capture his deportment.

Yesterday, because of the foul weather, the pool was instructed to stay inside so that workers could de-ice the plane just before the president arrived for his quick trip to Little Rock.

As designated print pool reporter Edwin Chen of the Los Angeles Times wrote in his briefing to his colleagues, "the pool's absence on the tarmac as POTUS arrived did not go unnoticed."

Senior adviser and White House political guru Karl Rove himself popped his head into the press cabin and snarled, "Weenies!"

Chen described Rove's demeanor as "mocking disdain.

(snip)

This will really help out with press relations. If the press takes this kinda shit sitting down, then they are Total Frikkin Weenies.

2. what an arrogant PRICK!
Some REAL mom needed to raise this little bastard..Id be ashamed of my son if he spoke and behaved like this:
PRIDE GOETH BEFORE A FALL YOU LITTLE WEASEL

In the second item of his Reliable Source column in The Washington Post, Richard Leiby has some more of President Bush's jokes from the top-secret Alfalfa Club dinner Saturday night. (See yesterday's White House Briefing column for others.)

Here's one of them:

"But what a stellar crowd," Bush said. "It looks like the index of Paul O'Neill's book. Let me say something about that book. Paul said I was disengaged because he talked to me for 45 minutes and I didn't say a word. I wasn't disengaged. I was bored as hell and my mother told me never to interrupt. . . . "

5. That joke is simply fabulous.
How perfectly catty. I wonder if the Canadian with the purty face laughed.

6. The Secretary of the Treasury is talking to him and he's bored
Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 02:37 PM by Gman
This is intended as a slap at O'Neill but when the "president" is discussing matters with the Treasurer Secretary that is (IMHO) drop-dead-serious business considering the state of this economy.

Bush thought he was being funny, but with this comment, he actually verifies the fact that he is disengaged. People are unemployed and Bush makes bad, revealing jokes.

I also realize that Bush's response to this post would be "who cares what you think".

8. cheney's approval drops to 20 %...while his unfavorable ratings
more than doubled....

-snip-

Eric Schmitt of the New York Times takes note of Cheney's "calculated election-year makeover." He reports that "A New York Times poll this month found that Mr. Cheney's favorable ratings had declined to 20 percent of the voters surveyed compared with 39 percent in a similar poll in January 2002. His unfavorable ratings increased to 24 percent, from 11 percent, in the same period."

9. Must be why he is visiting the Pope, huh? Hoping that some of
that holiness rubs off him. Honest to God, those photos of Cheney with the Pope really do look like Evil (Cheney) vs Good (the Pope). Dick is all dooded up in a black suit while the Pope is in his all whites.
