		<description>I don&#039;t think he has had any credibility to speak of for quite some time.  I AM glad to see that the softball questions are stopping, which was evident in the &quot;concession&quot; speech Bush gave on 11/8.  God, did he look uncomfortable, and man, did that comfort me.  Although I WISH for impeachment, I think I could take even more comfort in letting him writhe in torment until the end of his term.  Then we can deliver him to the Hague :)</description>

		<description>What credibility?  Honestly, if this is where Bush lost credibility for you, you ain&#039;t been paying attention.  So, I would have to agree; this lie, about the ten millionth hasn&#039;t done anything to damage Bush&#039;s non-existent credibility.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt; The Cable Infotainment Channels Are not News Channels&lt;/b&gt;

In the same manner that Kyl, Brownback and Graham lied to the Supreme Court and attempted to lie to three federal appeals courts, it was accepted that Republicans see nothing wrong with lieing.

Kyl&#039;s explanation was that the dumbass voters don&#039;t understand how the Senate works. McCain was head cheerleader in the recent campaign and foound no fault with Party Members that lie.

NBC lost any jounalistic integrity many years ago.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sorry but people think of Gregory as being tough on WH simply because holds them somewhat responsible for the ridiculous premises that underlie most of their campaigns and issues.  More than anything, I think it&#039;s a result of people&#039;s bar being lowered as far as what they expect of the mainstream &lt;b&gt;corporate&lt;/b&gt; press.  If we truly had an attack dog press regardless as to which party is in power, and not owned by gigantic for profit corporations like they are, a press whose job is to inform the public free of ideological bias (including being blindly pro-corporate and capitalist) Gregory would be pretty moderate.  As it is, he occasionally confronts the WH press secretary when they say things that are beyond delusional.  I&#039;ll take it but don&#039;t think he&#039;s the second coming of IF Stone or will challenge Bush or the right wing on things like trade, healthcare or anything else.  Someone like that will wonâ€™t last long within the corporate press and will be squeezed out.</description>

		<description>Normally you guys are on the ball, but this time....

Look, aside from Helen Thomas, David Gregory has been one of the ONLY White House press corps members to actually stand out and ask the tough, scary questions. Believe it or not, he&#039;s actually on our side -- the side of average Americans (as opposed to the military-industrial complex). He&#039;s sharp, articulate and gutsy, and consistently does a superb job.

And so what if he pointed out the obvious fact that Bush&#039;s lying is just a-okay with the &quot;shoot a colored for Jay-zuz&quot; set. That 30-odd percent would support him even if he said we needed to invade Canada.</description>

		<description>Let me answer this one for you, yes, it does matter.  Bush is by definition a liar.  He has lied over and over and over.  And it does not help that he is a stupid bungler who seems hell-bent on squandering the health, wealth and security of our nation.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;All it will take now is a few brave reporters who are more concerned about the truth than they are about keeping access to their inside sources. 

Comment by bobcat_grad&lt;/i&gt;

I don&#039;t disagree, but that&#039;s the very problem.  Why do they want to protect their access to people who are not going to tell them the truth? If you&#039;re a reporter and you manage to hook up with an inside source who always tells you the truth even when it contradicts the &quot;official line&quot;, you do what you can to protect that source.  But the majority of these reporters have been lied to by these inside sources.  They should go ahead, ask the tough questions.  Why should they care if they lose access to someone who just uses them to support a failure of an administration?</description>

		<description>Look.  I agree with your comments. But these guys aren&#039;t eager to be honest about the situation in the WH pressroom because they run the risk of having their access cut off.  I think David would rather remain in the room at this point.

I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s right.  It&#039;s WRONG, but it&#039;s the reality.  For some reason, the word &quot;liar&quot; is not in the press&#039; lexicon.</description>

		<description>First Bush lies before the election about the status of Rumsfeld. Then he lies after the election by telling us he didn&#039;t want to inject politics.

Who could ever believe this last lie? This man and his team would do anything possible to effect the election in their favor. They told lies about opposition candidates, call voters to try to confuse them, and pulled any other dirty tricks that they could conceive. What another outright lie to tell us that he didn&#039;t want to inject politics into the electtion. Since when has Bush ever taken the higher road?

And worst of all, we&#039;ve got David Gregory, Chris Wallace and others accepting those lies without calling into question the liars who are telling those lies.</description>

		<description>WTF?!?  Does lying damage a person&#039;s credibility?  If &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; doesn&#039;t, what the hell does?? If you no longer have any particular reason to be confident that someone is telling you the truth, it means you cannot trust them -- and if you cannot trust them, they no longer have credibility because the very definition of the word credibility is &quot;trustworthiness&quot;.  

Since Bush was apparently aware in the week preceding the election that Rumsfeld was going to be ousted, why did he deliberately lie to the American people? The only possible answer is party politics, but this is not even remotely sufficient justification. It might have been a little different if he had originally intended to keep Rumsfeld on and then changed his mind after the election -- say, if he interpreted the election results as a criticism of the situation in Iraq.  If Bush lied for purely political reasons, there&#039;s no reason to assume that he won&#039;t do it again -- or even that he hasn&#039;t done it before.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;â€œBush admitted lying, but said in effect that it was for our own good. Iâ€™m sure he has never done that before, and if he does, Iâ€™m sure it will also be for the right reasons.â€&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Bush is not a King he needs to drop that Noble lie crap. Noble lies are not for our own good -- Noble lies are pursuants of hidden agendas.</description>
