The Press Protects The Child King!

I was having a difficult time comprehending the timid responses of the press to Bush's incredible incompetence, and it occurred to me, that at its heart, Cohen and others hold a subconscious pity for this President who is so pathetic, and pathological in his actions, that he is like a mindless child. They seek to protect him as they have no other president in my lifetime!

In America we love to see a great fight! We pay to see boxing and professional wrestling, and reality shows of every sort. But to have a comedian stand in a tuxedo and assail our President with words alone seems to have crossed an invisible line for some.

Like most lines, that one more than any, needs to be erased, with a sweep of our feet! I know of no other President in our history who was so small that such jokes, whether funny or not, would demean their stature in any way. And I know of no other President in the long life of our Nation, who deserved the verbal assault more.

I would suggest to the press that you review your allegiance to this man who, truth be known, would grind you under his boot heel to quash your words in a heartbeat.

Bush was insulted by what he heard? It is a good thing for myself and others on TO that he does not read! Or maybe KBR has not quite finished building the first concentration camp to secure our nation from known risks, ... like Our Freedom of Speech!

A free press, ... not simply free to print, but free to think, is the first bulwark against extremism. Our Other safeguards are the law, freedom to assemble and associate, and rights to privacy from government intrusion in our lives. Did you think they would peel them all away at once? Colbert tested the water for all of us who choose to speak freely. Turns out the water was damn near boiling!

I suggest the press not concern itself with the offenses directed at our King. He has the NSA, DOJ, and CIA to protect him, on scales well beyond what the press can offer. The real question is who will protect the press when they have failed to protect us?
