Laura Ingraham Rings David Gregory's Chimes.

Laura Ingraham bearded David Gregory doing substitute work for chronic-slouch Matt Lauer and Laura rang "Stretch's" chimes so loud that for a moment he thought he had transmogrified into Scott McClellan. The flustered Gregory tried on air to change the subject. Ha ha ha. A magic moment that made him feel like he makes McClellan feel! Turnabout is fair play! So Tim Graham notes in a hilarious NRO blow-by-blow account of how slipshod NBC News has botched the war coverage in Iraq. Tim also notes that Tim Russert actually believes that the media "captures reality" when it reports from Iraq. When's the last time Russert ever went to Iraq, or if he did, left the Green Zone to reconnoiter?

By the way, I like but do not admire David Engel, but the Balcony Ballerinas have completely lost the confidence of the American people, if a current AOL poll I just voted on is any indication: over 65% of the 120 THOUSAND Voters, that's 120,000 voters, believe the media coverage of the Iraq War is POOR, out of FOUR choices. That's two out of three sez the MSM SUCKS at reporting the war in Iraq.

I think when GWB said two days ago that the Iraq adventure [which I believe L. Paul Bremer and by extension, Bush, botched completely], GWB was saying to the Dems about the war in Iraq: "All in."

GWB stands his ground, unlike the spineless brokeback Dems who lack a notochord.

Except for John Kerry, who got three Purple Hearts for one tiny scratch on his leg. There's a world record for horse manure emitted by one human being, in Kerry's case from his wide-open bloviating mouth.

Howard Fineman says on MSNBC to Matthews tonite that GWB has just thrown down the gauntlet when he said he's going to keep the US troops in as long as his generals tell him there's a job remaining to be done. He's begging to be taken on about the war and will punish the MSM for the shoddy work the NYT [where is John Burns, its only worthwhile reporter?] and the networks are doing over there. {Bob Woodruff of CBS and David Bloom to the contrary notwithstanding} These two brave guys are the exceptions that prove the rule. Read my blog on Hitchens today.

BTW, Matthews claims he listens to Ingraham's radio show every day. She is better than Coulter cuz she doesn't cultivate a wise-ass persona. But Ann C does emit gorgeous truths in unforgettable metaphors often enuf to make her worth the read.

The Today Show needs new blood, and specious fraud Lauer should get a day job or quit interfering with his guests as he did with Denver high school student Allen when he talked about his egregious teacher who should have been fired. Couric is not much better than Lauer, but that is not saying much. Al Roker did a TV piece for Court TV on the methamphetamine epidemic that was more journalistic than anything Lauer or Couric have EVER done on NBC. Maybe it's because that network SUX!
