MSNBC: McClellan is a "Turncoat"
This was just uttered on tee-vee by MSNBC's chief political guy, I can't recall his name.

This is how the media will portray him from now on.

1. I seriously doubt it.
I don't think one pundit's opinion will alter the fact that more and more people are waking up to the criminality of the Bush regime. Also, given, for example, KO's remarks, I don't think it's fair to attribute the "turncoat" meme to "MSNBC" generically.

2. Turn coat....
The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take off his coat shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin." So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller. But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair. Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his coat on.

3. lol! It's escalated from "it's heartbreaking", "that isn't the Scottie I know", "I'm saddened" to
now being a turncoat!!! Turncoat is a very interesting term meaning traitor. I think that person from GEMSNBC should look in the mirror because he indeed sounds like the true traitor.

9. Chuckles Todd?
He's their number cruncher and former GOOP spinner when he worked for "Roll Call". C-SPIN viewers will remember his more partisan days.

I've had M$NBC on in the background and had a good laugh watching Terry McAuliffe demonstrate again why I'm sooooo glad Dr. Dean is the DNC Chairman.

Todd was spewing last night drinkie-drinkie party claptrap...or as it's also called "conventional wisdom". Snotty's book has sent a chill through the beltway as it took some wicked shots at both this regime and its corporate media enablers. The fun is how this could pit the regime against the media in their own blame games...eating each other alive right on our teevees.

:popcorn:

10. What a quaint word to use.
What he is is a whistleblower. Remember one person's traitor is another's hero.
