Bumiller Loses Her Spot
on the Planted Story List


Here we go...

Oh, yeah. This is gonna be some big fun, boy.

Yeah, yeah, Gotham knows, the media LOOOOOOOOOVES John McCain. But, ummmm, are we sure it's not that Ike & Tina Turner-kind of love thing?

Gonna be interesting to see how the press plays this one, as McBush rips Elizabeth Bumiller of The New York Times a new one during a flight on Fake Talk One. When do we see the stories that different members of the press corps just tripped and fell, to explain the black eyes? Do stories pop up that defend McBush, because he's really a "good man," and didn't mean to hurt the Associated Press?

Watch the video. Up until now, no one has lain a finger on McBush. And this is a powder puff attempt at "journalism" from Bumiller. But, McBush snaps out anyway. Buckle yourself in when the questions get merely pointed.

For all our Rambo-loving friends out there, this isn't a cool, "kick ass" kind of temper. Nope. McBush is your unhinged, nasty Uncle Morty who all the kids run away from whenever the family convenes.

When Hillary Clinton said McBush had crossed a "threshold," who knew it was one of civility and sanity? THIS?! THIS is the man she feels good about taking a 3am phone call from Vladimir Putin, that Putin's thinking about nuking the U.S. for fun, and just what does Johnny say about THEM apples?

Up to this point, you could make a pretty safe bet that Bumiller would be on-board with any piece of blind-source Dem-bashing innuendo the White House, GOP or McBush campaign would want to drop in her in-box.

Might she (and/or others) be slower to do so now, what with singed tushie and all?

We're all now on Official Elizabeth Bumiller Watch!

Here's a calculator to help you get a clearer picture of just how you'd make out under Obama's tax plan, rather than just extending the Bush tax cuts which is all that McCain is proposing.




Stop the heartbreak of catalog glut.
