An Anonymous Reply to My Horsey Post
Well, lookey what we have here!
Well, no. I'm not on the payroll. Kind of whish I was. Who couldn't use some extra cash?
Seriously, though, I consider Williams a political whore. Then again, Daily Kos, who was on the take from the Kerry Campaign, is just as much of a political Sex Industry worker. To hell with them all. I really don't care.
Well, I almost don't care. I think Bush paying for good press in such a clandestine way was one of the stupidest ideas, and disingenuous as well, to come across the table in many years. And the sad part is that my commenter is probably surprised to read me criticizing that dumba** move on Bush's part.
I think he/she (was that you, WD?) comforts him/her self by imagining people like me to be motivated solely by naked ideology. After all, isn't it easier to dismiss your opponent's opinions if you first dehumanize them personally and demonize their motivations? That way you really don't have to engage their thoughts. A snarky shot from the hip will do just fine.
As to the situation with "Gannon," I find myself observing the situation with a growing sense of mirth.
Besides the fact that just about anybody can get a daily Press Room pass (you are, after all, physically screened before being allowed access), there appears to be an amusing sense of outrage from our lib friends that "Gannon" was not a "real journalist."
This is a good sign, as I see it. This indicates that the libs have, at last, reached the last stage of desperation on their road of indignation regarding the appearance of the New Media and the Blogosphere. They're huffing and gasping, incredulous over the temerity of these young upstarts. "How dare those rubes, those unpolished ruffians, presume to enter the exalted realm of Journalists?!" Heh. They're defending their last battlements, on their last legs, left only with shock and horror as their last defense against the invading infidels of independent thought. (Ouch! That'll leave a mark!)
What I find most hilarious, though, is that the libs are getting so frantic that they commit acts they would usually find completely unacceptable were they taken by others.
To wit: The only time libs gay-bash, or find it acceptable to do so, is when the gay-in-question is a Conservative. Oh Lord! Where is the Tolerance?!
What's that noise? That buzzing in your ears? That is the sound of me, laughing at you.
What's also worth noting is that the only gay-bashing I encounter any more is the gay-bashing hate speech spewed by libs. And they do so excel at it, don't they? They appear to have a talent for adroit and visceral hatred for gay Conservatives that is amazing in its intellectual "flexibility."
Silly rabbit.
LOL

I know the Bush administration is paying Armstrong Williams, (who once hit on David Brock), and Maggie Gallagher to promote his programs in their columns and let this James Guckert/Jeff Gannon character with an alias, who is a gay escort and not a real journalist, get a press pass into the White House press room for the sole purpose of tossing softballs for McClellan and the Smirking One, really doesn't mind provocative questions. Ken, please assure me that you aren't on the payroll too. Ol' Horsey has a point even if he isn't reinforcing YOUR position and giving the lazy, lapdog general media a pass. This nonsense of the administraion paying public relation firms to promote it's agenda through misleading reporting/faux news reports has cost the taxpayers $240 million since he has been in office. Horsey nailed it.

Comments:
The point is that the ONLY time right-wingers don't bash gays is when they are their own. Where in my post did you see any gay bashing? Now you are bitching about "Daily Kos being on the take from the Kerry campaign". NOT TAXPAYER DOLLARS THERE SKIPPY!! And "just about anybody can get a press room pass"? Not true. Other reporters who actually ask questions that require real answers are crowded out by these phonies who get called on to break the tension after a real question is asked. So yes, you appear to be driven primarily by "naked ideolgy" as you are cool with faux journalism. And again, "independent thought". These people are plants in the press corp and you are lauding them for independent thought. I guess you had me fooled. I thought you were soooooooooo much smarter than that. (JB)
