I can't be responsible for what you see in the mirror. The first step is admitting the problem though.

Dammit, DD! I was just going to point out that MrFun described himself to a tee

First President in US History to Have Voted to Filibuster a Supreme Court Nominee Now Hopes for Clean Process

President Obama's expressed hope today in his weekly address "that we can avoid the political posturing and ideological brinksmanship that has bogged down this (Supreme Court nomination) process, and Congress, in the past" runs against another historical first for the 44th president: his unique role in history as the first US President to have ever voted to filibuster a Supreme Court nominee.

So while there is little indication Republicans intend to filibuster President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, the GOP will likely invoke the President's unique history whenever he calls their tactics into question.

In January 2006, then-Sen. Obama joined 24 colleagues in a futile effort led by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to filibuster the Supreme Court nomination of now-Justice Samuel Alito.

Wierd. An actual journalist?

Where, oh, that Tapper fellow..?

You are sad enough to think that "real journalism"?


Pointing out hypocritical actions and statements in Washington DC is about as hard as standing outside in the rain and getting wet.

He's probably getting that more from the fact that the blog is hosted on abc.com...

Reading is fundamental. I can prolly find several services in NYC for you to help you improve your English skills.

That should tell you the sad state journalism has fallen to these days. But I seem to recal that I actually said journalist.

Given the love affair alot of the press seems to have with Obama, that has been a rare sight of late.

@ Kuci: Not so much that. Though I will admit that I would have been shocked if this Tapper guy had been employed by NBC.

Your trolls are slipping DD - of course, they have been for a very long time.

Offensive?

Pointing out how simple it is to find hypocrasy in Washignton is "going on the offensive"?

Having seen the press at work from the other side (ie. from inside politics), I have nothing but contempt for most "journalists" incluing Mr. Tapper. I hope that our resident journalist, Gatekeeper, does a good job of it, but being impressed at what Mr. Tapper writes is pretty sad. Now, if he breaks some significant story then kudos to him, but the clips shown and that article hardly show him as someone who stands out for their analysis of squat.
