Reuters doesn’t like conservative snarking over Blago’s bust

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 10, 2008 02:20 PM

Looks like the Obama water-carriers in the MSM aren’t happy with the fallout over Blagobama-rama. Here’s the headline on an article just released by Reuters this afternoon:

The piece mentions Blago reaction from the RNC, Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh, Neal Boortz, and yours truly.

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t seem to remember the finger-wagging Reuters articles headlined “US liberals gleeful over [Abramoff/DeLay/Stevens/Foley/etc.].”

Do you?

    so Al-Reuters “feelings” are hurt because WE conservatives are reveling in the hypocrisy of the Nancy Pelosi culture of corruption Democrats around the United States. To damn bad!

    Federal prosecuters said Obama was not connected to charges…

    Why? Was someone right there asking, or was there an automatic assumtion that the common denominator (Chicago) would make one think that there was possibly a connection?

    Think so…maybe…just a little?
    Not that we’ll ever know the truth, or anyone will really care.

    This whole thing stinks like yesterdays rotten arugula.

    I’m shocked, shocked I tell you! Shocked to learn that the fine, upstanding, and might I say, ‘protected by the 1st Amendmant’, MSM, neglected to highlight the Left’s glee over any misfortunes of any conservatives (typically denoted as ‘R’ by the media) who got caught in any scandals or prosecuted for any illegalities.

    Sorry kids, gotta go. My sarcasm well runneth dry!

    CNN was on this morning at the chow hall. They were parading a stream of Blago spinners out there to inlude one guy who says that there is no way Blago could have done any of this as he just is not that dumb….

    BlagoJaggo should be investigated because of his hair.

    How exactly does one pile that much freshly churned hamburger onto one’s head that high?

    Put a black leather waist jacket on him and give him a Kalishnikov and BANGO! you have a bottom feeder from Bosnia.

    This guy even looks slimey. I bet the folks from downstate didnt vote for this lipid sack.

    EWWWWW!

    Al-Reuters. Such sniveling wimps, who were themselves always gleeful whenever reporting anything about Republicans, whether true or not.

    I suspect they may have even gleefully “reported” on some of the slime thrown at Palin.

    Am I gleeful? To paraphrase Patty Blingo, “Absolfu$#$&@inglutely!

    I see he refuses to resign, though it looks like a conviction. The Feds made sure their case is convincing. Well, that’s typical of an egomaniac, obsessed with power, thinking he is on top of the world. Giving up power is not an option to such people. Reminds me of a few other people around.

    Oh yeah baby! I am gleeful, happy, walking on sunshine! There is nothing better than knowing that our political leaders are a bunch of self centered, self serving, amoral, money grubbing, liars and cheats. Not that it’s new information or anything, but the confirmation is just thrilling, isn’t it?

    Mmmm. I am so happy.

    I read where Blogo returned to his office after the arraignment stating, “I’m not resigning. I’m going back to work and it will be business as usual.”

    Yes, it would seem corruption, bribery, and influence peddling are “business as usual” for Chicagoland politics.

    Chicagoland learned from Boss Tweed and his Tammany Hall corruption back in the 1800s. I learned about this in public school before they went socialist.

    Take a quick review of what happens when citizens go along with corruption and then extrapolate what is about to happen in Washington, DC with BHO and his crew.

    I guess I am gleeful since I can’t be gay today.

    You can still do your part, pretend its ‘Adopt a Gay Day’.

    So…. was I affected by no gays in the workplace yesterday or am I supposed to be affected today? I need to make sure I show the proper level of faux outrage.

    How about we set up a protest by all the boring white guys and see if the economy is affected.

    Oh I’m gleeful alright, gleeful as whinny liberals who act as if the Republicans are the only criminals have lost one of thier own. Gleeful as it shows a chink in Obama’s Armor. Which will happen more and more. A man got elected on a two word campaing and has neither to truely over.

    Hope is something you your self can only attaine not the goverment. It comes from a cause and creed and moral stedfastness. Not a half black man from Chicago. And of all places why trust a polition from that shady secest pool?

    You want change, well reach into your pockets, if you don’t want to fight for something, then you don’t deserve it no matter how large or small your support base is.

    Gleeful? Hardly! I think it’s tragic that we (collectively) continue to elect these criminals to government offices and then expect them to actually do something worthwhile. The problem is, as with most criminals and politicians, Blagojevich doesn’t think he has done anything wrong.

    Note the International Herald Tribune (the Global Edition of the NYT) has an article about Gov Blago and NOT once does a (D) follow his name. It does mention Democrats having called for his resignation as did BHO only after others had done so.

    So, did Mr. Bigg actually see conservatives “rubbing their hands”; and, did he observe they were doing so “with glee”?

    If not, then he engaged in what passess for standard “news” reporting; namely: Using hackneyed, pre-pubescent vernacular to depict his own internal biases as “fact”.

    Not only was that an editorial having no business being presented as an article, it was also something barely worthy of the vaccuous, topical slang-fests on the nightly gossip programs.

    Junk peddling, pure & simple.

    Gleeful? Hardly. I only feel sorrow for the people of Illinois who Voted For Change and got the SOS.

    Just like what happened at the Federal level.

    I’ll be gleeful if Reuiters ever: 1) closes its doors due to ineptitude/lack of readers/kool aid overdose or

    2) Becomes a responsible news service.
