Throughout the Bush presidency, he toiled in secrecy deep within the White House, a mysterious and feared presence who never stepped into the sunlight of public disclosure.
[Pans from aboveground shot of White House down and in underground to subterranean caverns]
Until yesterday.
[Closes in from back of mysterious figure hunched over pipe organ who suddenly turns about, revealing horribly disfigured face]
There he sat, hunched and scowling, at the witness table in front of the House Judiciary Committee: the bearded, burly form of the chief of staff and alter ego to the vice president — Cheney’s Cheney, if you will — and the man most responsible for building President Bush’s notion of an imperial presidency.
[Cue the lightning!]
In case you’re not sure exactly how to read this scintillating example of journalistic objectivity, Milbank is generous with the cues: “He had the grace of Gollum as he quarreled with his questioners”; “Think of Addington as the id of the Bush White House.”
Think of Milbank as the sphincter of journalistic integrity.
Fuck Milbank.
I have a new hero, Addington for Prez!
– So the majority of the “elite” fourth estates best , working in total concert, weren’t able to take down the “stoopid” chimp President, and now they’re reduced to acting out their childish neurotic fantasies. Makes you wonder how the country has survived all these years.
– Heres another “Think of”:
– “Think of Hillery as the potential Ted Bundy of the Dem primary cycle.”
– I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be Bill, Obama, or Doyle caught in a dark room with her at the Convention with a 15 inch KBAR in her hand.
Well, Milbank needs something to talk about when he appears on MSNBC.
My favorite part was when Milbank collapsed on the floor kicking and screaming, “I want you to admit you are guilty!,” over and over again.
JEEZUS! And I thought the NYT was bad! Why isn’t a dickwad like this thrown out in the street?
Never mind. Stupid question.
Keith Olbermann, “Well Dana, how guilty is the President?”
What in the everloving fuck is this? And how does it end up on WaPo?
[…] mommies. How do they react? Veiled death threats of course. Protein Wisdom has some thoughts. Black Five cracked me up. Thanks Gateway Pundit for the vid. Wake Up America […]
So, is Addington, Batman or Zorro; both were noble scions who fought crime or evildoers from positions of anonymity. If Addington and Yoo was really as evil as Nadler and Delahunt claimed; in the worldview of the BourneSupremacy ,let’s say they’d start their car by remote.
Pablo,
I couldn’t decide what was more off-putting; those smudges on the side of the Hamster’s nose, or her beady little eyes flicking back and forth while the little wheels were spinning in her head. She has the perfect face for radio.
It is to be hoped that “sphincter of journalistic integrity” sticks to Milbank like “thick-fingered vulgarian” sticks to Trump. He deserves every syllable. (Though if he were on the Post’s editorial page he’d be better than most of the guys on there, and I wouldn’t mind him a bit.)
