1. What all the presstitutes seem to be pussyfooting around

was that clogging the press room with ideologues who make long rambling right wing talking point statements and tack a softball question at the end are turning press conferences into propaganda lectures. They are long on talking point statements and short on questions. The presence of shills who are more interested in spouting talking points than allowing the press to question them has changed the character of such enterprises, and has made their job impossible.

Yet they wag their tails and beg for more, and don't question why there is such a flurry of activity at highest levels to cover this whole sordid thing up.

'Scuse me, but I think Stewart was right. They're not just incompetent jerks who have forgotten how to work for a living. They're hurting us.
