Cheney to reporters: "this is just a photo spray”

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2007/05/09/in-iraq-cheney-sticks-to-the-script/

<snip>

Once safely ensconced in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, however, Cheney appeared to reserve his toughest language for his normal target – the press. Cheney held a lot of photo ops with key Iraqi leaders like Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, but was adamant about not taking questions. At one point, Cheney emphasized to the assembled journalists that “this is just a photo spray.” Later in the day, as reporters filed into an embassy conference room for another photo of Cheney they overheard him tell his staff “then we kick the press out.”

2. I watched his (brief) presser...
And the only question I heard him take was from FOX "news".

What a coward this fool is.

4. Seems he's showing Maliki how it's done right.
Use the press, then discard it like toilet paper.

5. Cheney is a mean, nasty, vile, disgusting excuse for a human being.
He and Ann Coulter could be one and the same, if she were heavier or he were thinner.

His fat ass should be before Congress explaining his Energy Policy, conflicts of interest, and his lies to the media about the war in Iraq, 9/11, WMDs, etc.

6. The press likes to get the red ass from Cheney and Bush
They desire punishment from their Big Government Daddies. They love being reprimanded by Cheney, who chains them to a wall and whips them, to their cries of delight. The press loves every minute of it - they love their Big Masculine Daddy punishing them. Bush then enters the scene and humiliates them with verbal abuse, calling them sissies and little doggies, making them bark, laughing in their faces. They arch their backs in ecstasy.

The fucking press corp is made up of a pack of masochists who desire their own repression - they even love it. They count off their lash strokes and grovel before their Masters. They'll be back for the same treatment next time.

11. Something happened to the "press" because I saw a story about
the 92 campaign of Perot and how the press felt they were being belittled and boy did they throw some angry questions Perot's way. Now they couldn't be happier to take one facial after another each time saying "thank you sir, may i have ANOTHER!".

9. He knows how low his approval ratings are
and the fact that he still acts this way is just a big "fuck you" to the world.

13. It's their own fault for playing along.
If they don't like being treated like scum, they need to boycott his ass. They aren't obligated to attend these photo-op schmooze fests, are they?
