Political Games - Where the fuck’s the reset button?

One last post before I head home for my month-long break. WOOT!

Some background on this story. For the past 2 years, during every White House gaggle, the official Administration talking point has been that the President would not comment on the CIA leak case because “it was an on-going investigation”. This week, however, President Hypocrite opened his mouth and commented on the on-going investigation into Tom “The Hammer” Delay. As you can imagine, the WH press pool was a bit… upset.

MR. McCLELLAN: There are differences.

Poor Scotty. The press got tired of sucking your collective dicks. They’ll be challenging you for the next 3 years.

Have fun with that.
