Quote of the Day

MANIFESTO

If ... reporters were at least as concerned about the former vice president's dishonesty as they were about
[White House Press Secretary Robert] Gibbs being mean to him, the coverage would probably be better.

— Steve Benen on the White House press corps' protectiveness toward the previous administration

For the past few weeks, I've been mystified by the amount of air time and space Deadeye Dick (and his daughter, God help us) has received from the MSM. Why he's thought of as a legitimate spokesman for a disgraced (and roundly defeated) administration is beyond me.

Of course, his apologiae substantiate who was really in charge of the Executive Branch for the first eight years of the decade.
