Bill Maher:Major Garrett, is a huge asshole. If U wanna "strike a nerve" with POTUS,
Major Garrett is a huge asshole. If U wanna "strike a nerve" with POTUS, why not just scream the N word? That shld get his attention.

Bill Maher isn't mincing words.
The HBO talk show host blasted CBS News' Major Garrett on Twitter Wednesday, hours after the White House correspondent asked President Barack Obama a question that, Garrett later said, intended to strike a nerve.
If you want to "strike a nerve" with the president, Maher asked, "why not just scream the N word?"

2. Garrett was rude, disrespectful and sneering
No member of the WH Press Corps would ever treat a Republican president this way. I could hear him sneering through my radio and seeing it later was even worse.
Maher is absolutely correct in this case.

6. You mean coddling him?
Who do you think you're kidding with that shit? The corporate media played to the Bush Administration's narratives almost without fail.

Remind me why these hypocritical POSs cheered Helen Thomas.
Let's just face facts...
Obama isn't tough enough to be a real president.

Dan Rather was unavailable for comment.

But their hero Helen Thomas was just a sweet, quirky old lady.

According to DU, she was "gutsy".

More pictures - Roses for Helen Thomas (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x799674)
What a thrill it was to meet Helen Thomas today. She was so gracious. She was visbly moved when she walked in the room and saw the roses.
As you know a few days ago DUer Helderheid posted a suggestion that we send roses to Helen Thomas to show our appreciation for her gutsy questioning of the President last week. The suggestion soon became action and dozens of DUers opened their hearts (and wallets/purses), and the money started rolling in. Before she knew it she had enough money to buy 100 dozen roses for Helen Thomas! Be sure to give a standing O to Helderheid - she worked her butt off to make this happen!
The roses were delivered to a conference room near her office. Six volunteers: Rainer, Paula, Malissa (DUer MiniMe), Chris, Neal, and Skip (GOPFighter) spent the afternoon cutting and arrainging them in vases (A big THANK YOU goes to Kristen Collie, Hearst Bureau Manager, who made sure we had everything we needed!). :toast:
Rainer has worked in a florist shop and did a great job showing us how to trin, cut and arrainge the flowers. :applause:
The highlight of the day came at 6:15 when Kristen led Helen into the conference room filled with roses. Helen couldn't beleive it and she kept saying "Thank You, Thank You" and we kept saying "No, Thank YOU!" Then to our delight, Helen stayed and talked to us for almost an hour (talking to Helen is like talking to another DUer. She knows all the issues we discuss here and feels the same as we do. Her heart goes out to all those who have been killed - it really bothers her. I love that woman!

I find it hilariously funny that Bill Maher thinks he has room to call anybody an asshole.

Geez, Fw, why insult a noble animal?
This surrender agreement has the potential to dwarf Munich and make Neville Chamberlain look a little less stupid.

No Bill. obama came off as a major asshole. And why did he leave hostages behind?
Maher got raked over the coals on twitter over that.

You beat me to it!
Maher seems to be constantly on the lookout for new ways to ensure that his ugly, smug face will one day be seen in the dictionary next to the word "Douchebag."
Pot, meet kettle.

Remember the famous Dan Rather - Richard Nixon exchange. Made him a hero to young reporters.

Major Garrett was simply doing his job correctly. It seems out of place because so many "journalists" who cover the One are too busy covering for the One to do their jobs.

I know it sounds like hyperbolic stereotyping, but Libs'/Progs' definition of non-partisanship in the MSM is parroting Lib/Prog talking points and narratives, unquestioned. If a MSM reporter dares to ask a question that challenges a Lib/Prog talking point. narrative, or pol/pundit that reporter will be demonized as an R/Conservative shill and all else that is evil to Libs and Progs.
Libs and Progs have become so accustomed to "reporters" being relentlessly liberal that :naughty: Libs and Progs live in a state of Lib/Prog privilege wrt the MSM. :naughty:
