Hope, Change, And Stacking The Media Deck

Nice to see The Messiah is stacking the deck at his press conferences. What is even more awesome is how the Deciding Dinosaurs go along with it.

As ferociously as we march like villagers with torches against Blagojevich, we have been, in the true spirit of the Bizarro universe, the polar opposite with the president-elect. Deferential, eager to please, prepared to keep a careful distance.

The Obama news conferences tell that story, making one yearn for the return of the always-irritating Sam Donaldson to awaken the slumbering press to the notion that decorum isn't all it's cracked up to be.

The press corps, most of us, don't even bother raising our hands any more to ask questions because Obama always has before him a list of correspondents who've been advised they will be called upon that day.


Almost makes you wonder if The Dinosaurs are trying to help The Messiah by not asking tough questions. And I recall how Kos and Media Matters used to accuse The Dinosaurs of being lapdogs of President Bush.
