Erick Erickson: Press ‘Whores’ ‘Have Such Erections for Everything Barack Obama Does’

Many people have written about the press’ cozy, oftentimes fawning, relationship with President Obama, but none quite so colorful as a piece penned today by Erick Erickson for RedState. He calls out the “shameless whores” in the media who he thinks have a loving obsession with the president that gets in the way of actually doing their jobs, especially considering how they would have acted had George W. Bush done the same exact things.

He pointed out that everyone in the media “soiled [their] shorts” over the 2007 U.S. attorney firing scandal, but they’ve said nary a critical word about the latest delay to the health care law. Erickson said if this was Bush, “the media would start talking about impeaching the President in non-ironic ways.”

And just to put a fine point on it, Erickson got really specific in his criticisms of the love affair.

But you journalists have such erections for everything Barack Obama does, you can’t even summon outrage to report fairly on the latest b.s. from the administration over Obamacare. Is it any wonder so many people have stopped trusting you?…

But with President Obama, half of MSNBC still wants to have his baby and the women over there just want to be his mistress. Hell, France’s President has one.

Sacre bleu!
