Yes, that's right. Bush is frustrated with the media and its "questioning" of US war plans.

:boohoo:

Myself, I cannot personally imagine a group of media outlets in the free world doing any more pandering to the government, and asking any less questions, than our CNN/MSNBC team. So I guess Bush just expects the media to cease to exist at this point?

Yeah, I've noticed his frustration in the last few press conferences (particulary the one with Blair).

I swear to Gawd I half-expect him to stamp his little foot and ball up his fists and throw a temper tantrum that not everbody is just rolling over for him.

But they are, is what gets me! Christ on a popsicle stick, CNN is practically walking around hunched over with its pants around its ankles!!!

And offering a bottle of lube?

I hear ya, DBP... it's ludicrous that he is so riled by even the *slightest* hint of questioning, anything LESS than total blind agreement. Herr Bush SHALL NOT BE DOUBTED!!!!

*sigh*.... part of me wants to stop watching any news coverage altogether, but I'm a glutton for punishment or something. Ah well....

Wasn't that something? But the reporter went ahead and asked two (or three) questions anyway. Good for him.

Yeah, it was pretty trippy... I expected him at any moment to stand up, point his finger at the reporter and screech Cartman-style, "how dare you not respect my authori-tay!!!"

[cartman] Bad! That's a BAD reporter! [/cartman]

I watched the Blair/Shrub news conference yesterday and was so mortified I was practically praying they would not ask Bush any more questions.

Blair is capable of at least making a reasonable sounding and coherent defense of his position, but Bush just sounded like a (very stupid) 11 year-old bully explaining why he's entitled to take lunch money away from 3rd graders.

He's Saddam's best propagandist.

What they didn't report is that Laura is frustrated with premature ejaculation.

Is that a Freudian deducement that explains the reason for bush's hostility versus the rest of the world, or is it the reason he's unable to put 2 words together? Or that he's easily frustrated?
