Yet another of President Bush's Press Secretaries shows contempt for Americans.
Their consistent message is: "Americans, you had your voice when you elected "the decider," and now you should just shut up." Yet another of President Bush's Press Secretaries shows contempt for the press. And NorCal takes shots at Helen Thomas for being old and for being a "hag." He thinks she should be "banned." The whole thing runs like free advertising for the Democratic candidate of your choice.

I did not hear contempt in the press secretaries voice but rather logic, spoken in clear language in the face of absurd babbling from a reporter. And yes, the reporters comments are absurd! |

Thomas was given reasonable answers until her increasingly ridiculous follow up "questions" got to the point that she was rightfully shut down so someone else could have the floor. |

Weary of playing the same "dumb games?" How is that not contempt? You don't have to like Helen Thomas, but our current President is constantly initiating such "dumb games" (and through his Press Secretary and in this very instance). Yes, rightfully shut down so that someone else could ask something she wanted to answer or else be shut down themselves.

This post really exemplifies what a one-dimensional Bush-hater looks like.
