Yet another hissy fit brewing in Libthink Land

First, WaPo reports that Dingy Harry, La Pelosi, and assorted pals are caving to the White House on Iraq timetables, after knowing that the Bush veto has made them look silly.

The story is quickly denied by the Dem wannabee leaders, and righteous indignation flows from the Nutroots.

Check out the babble, dribble, drool and spew in the comment section of the last link.

Noteworthy:

"The media's coverage of this focussed on the Democratic dilemma because they simply have no ability to retract their heads from Karl Rove's behind. In this Media position every fart Rove makes sounds loud and important."


"Greg, isn't the question you raised at the end of the piece the real problem with the MSM? They are not independent. Whether the cause is right wing ownership of media outlets, or fear of loss of access to the WH and other administration sources, the plain, obvious conclusion is that the MSM has been transformed into a state propaganda device. Unfortunately, there are no indications presently that this situation is changing in the current environment."

"The WaPo and its GOP masters may be figuring that if enough parts of the media report it this way that people will give up putting pressure on the Democrats to keep that language in the bill. Then Shrub 'wins', for some value of winning that I don't seem to get.

Who are the aides who keep saying this, and who do they actually work for? Because it sounds to me like Rove might have sleeper agents in the Democratic Party. Shame on the party if it falls over its own voters and caves again."

THAT is funny!

It's a perfect example of the Left's wacked out logic about the media, as exemplified recently in the Cone meme about the media being "willing cheerleaders for the War in Iraq".

And Cone thinks I'm a paranoid conspiracy theorist!

UPDATE:

Captain Ed has more.

Excerpts:

"The supplemental has to get passed and signed as quickly as possible, and that reduces the leverage of Congressional leadership. If they fail to produce an acceptable compromise bill by the time they leave for Memorial Day, the outrage will get directed at Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. The nation will wonder what they have been doing since the beginning of the year, since nothing much else has passed Congress since the Democrats took control in January. Had the Democrats really wanted to put Bush in a corner, they would have started out with this compromise from the beginning. They could have garnered Republican support and taken leadership of the direction of the war."



"Reid and Pelosi enabled Bush to look tough, presidential, and relevant -- and now they have belatedly discovered that since they don't have the testicular fortitude to yank the funding altogether, they have to find some way to accommodate the White House.

Welcome to the big leagues, Harry and Nancy. This time, try to keep up."
