Now in this case, somebody did resign

No, he just took the retirement he’d announced earlier.

Remember the line about “being careful about what you report”? Headline news over nothing.

ISTR that wasn’t even the quote. It was more like “careful about what you SAY” and was in reference to an idiot Republican making a “raghead” comment as much as anything else. But it got turned into threatening the press, somehow.

Mr. Pink–does that single line give you an erection or something? You’ve made that dig at our host in the exact same words enough times now that it really has become quite boring and seems like silly juvenile taunting to no real benefit or point to anyone. Got anything new to contribute?

Don’t like seeing Frey called on his idiocy? Sure would be nice if he admitted Obama is NOT a “good man” and does NOT want to do good for the country.

By what right can the White House restrict or revoke media credentials?

Um, by what right?! They don’t have to give anyone these credentials. They (all administrations) do so only because it serves their political interest. So they have every right to restrict, revoke, or deny them to whomever they like. Please don’t turn this into some sort of civil liberties issue. Journalists already have an inflated view of their legal status, and the special privileges that they imagine the constitution gives them.

Victor Meldrew was great. He nearly always had my sympathy. But the American knock-off with Bill Cosby was just awful.

I’m 100% in Rico’s corner on auto-start videos. If not totally interested in a story I will abort the page immediamente.

Me too. I think it’s rude, and someone that rude is unlikely to have anything of interest to say to me.

The sort that will disappear when the check appears at a restaurant… generous with other people’s money… fond of dictating how other people should live… I know their kind, Mark. Peter Pan Syndrome all the way.

I find people like him interesting because I wonder (1) how old they are and (2) what they’re like personally — in private — to those around them. I tend to think of really leftwing people as being noticeably flaky, dishonest, unpleasant, sloppy and, most importantly of all, oddly non-compassionate or inhumane.

But the age of a liberal is crucial and telling too. I can’t help but imagine the voice of someone like kman emanating from a teenager or relatively young person. In that case, I roll my eyes but consider it par for the course. But when I envision a dippy liberal attitude coming from someone much older — from someone like Obama — then the feeling is one of astonishment, like dealing with an adult who never learned how to drive a car, balance a checkbook, or — if he’s truly idiotically liberal — tie his shoelaces. IOW, a peculiar type of immaturity in general.
