Chumps continued

(Via Croooow Blog) The marching moonbats are one thing, but how about the pompous buffoons of the media? Well, the Media Reserch Center watches the nattering nitwits so you don't have to! And what a crop of crap there was yesterday. My fave:
Sitting by Rather, Historian Suggests Press Out to "Get" Bush

On CBS, Dan Rather wanted to know if there has "been any American President in a time of war who has asked for as little sacrifice as President Bush has done?" As he sat at the same table with Dan Rather who just months ago delivered a hit job on Bush based on forged documents, historian Joseph Ellis stressed how there are plenty of scandals which could imperil Bush's second term since as "a lame duck...the press is really out to get you. And they can get you if they want to get you. And they're going to go after him. You can already start to see it. And what the press defines as a scandal becomes a scandal." Rather quickly switched topics.
I'll bet he did!

In fact ole Captain Dan was even restrained:
Later, however, after CBS reporter Thalia Assuras insisted that along the parade route the "majority have been at this point booing the President," Rather came to Bush's defense and countered that "overall and in the main, this is a friendly, even jubilant crowd."
Thalia's got a big career ahead of her!
