Political journalism of embarassment

I will challenge any randomly selected group of White House political correspondents to a no-limits poker game any time, any place.





@NorahODonnell
on the president's remarks on the El Paso shooting: "He really did set a different tone than he did in the past when it comes to condemning this hate"

Appearing to be fair and balanced. Cronkite spoke out truthfully about Vietnam. Is it asking to much of anchors today to do the same?

You can’t be “a little bit” of either.

I just thought that up and was looking for somewhere to post it.

What? I cannot. God lord we are in so much trouble.

I do like your thought up statement. Good one.

Watched it again. Remedial. Oh look, he is saying the right thing right away this time after the entire planet called him out the last time. He is learning, are we not proud? Here is a cookie.

Yes he actually gave a normal good speech in Jamestown last week. Boring. Clearly he didn’t really care BUT he didn’t make a complete ass out of himself. That qualifies as a good speech for him.

I haven’t and won’t watch the speech but I did see that he said “Toledo” instead of “Dayton”. That blows the whole speech out of the water for him. Not a good speech- made a complete public ass out of himself.

Today is the day that Donald J. Trump at last became President of the United States!

Or at least president of Norah O'Donnell, who is remarkably gullible for someone not currently sending money to a Nigerian prince (that I know of).
