He’s wrong in attributing it to the White House top aides being human and just getting ticked off at the unrelenting attacks from Fox News. The Obama team’s attack on Fox is an orchestrated response. Alexrod, Emanuel et al are speaking from the same script. Someone–Anita Dunn?–wrote and disseminated that script and the Obama people signed on.

Unfortunately it was a stupendously stupid script.

I get it, Joe, it’s all the same. Illegal preemptive war – saving GM – same same. Illegally spying on Americans – getting a prize – same same.

Kicking FEMA from the cabinet and then letting an American city drown – saying mean things about a propaganda arm of the RNC – same same.

Assigning a stooge to run the SEC and refusing to investigate financial fraud leading to the Great Recession – appointing good people who said stupid things twenty years ago – same same.

Etc, etc, etc…Thanks, Joe, we’ve got a lot more equivalencies to discuss (torture-get a dog) when you get your Shtick on. Anyone in the “liberal” media care to call him on it? I didn’t think so.

Fox News and Glenn Beck are going to bring down Obama and his whole (Maoist?) administration. If today’s clips of Anita Dunn, the ones where she explains how Obama controlled the press, don’t humiliate the news media, they will resonate with the country at large. While responding to something by Rachel Sklar, I ran into this quote from Ryan Lizza’s piece on the Obama Campaign in Sklar’s article (on the Huffington Post) about the famous Barry Blitt New Yorker Obama cover:

“[P]erhaps the greatest misconception about Barack Obama is that he is some sort of anti-establishment revolutionary. Rather, every stage of his political career has been marked by an eagerness to accommodate himself to existing institutions rather than tear them down or replace them….he has always played politics by the rules as they exist, not as he would like them to exist. He runs as an outsider, but he has succeeded by mastering the inside game.”

Talk about controlling the press!
