Cavuto and the MSM Weasels

Neil Cavuto writes:

There's nothing as refreshing as being with fellow journalists to know just how awful things are in the world — especially when the topic of conversation turns to President Bush.

One after another blasted him:

For the war: a disaster.

For the economy: uneven.

Even for the markets: undeserving.

One reporter even said — and I quote — "the guy's just stupid."

When it was my turn to speak, I said, "Well, he's president of the United States and you're not, so end of story."

But that was not the end of the story, because they turned their criticism to me.

Neil notes the irony:

It is ironic that journalists who pride themselves on their impartiality can be so partial in their hatred — forgetting that polls are fleeting, taking lasting stands are not.

....

History will prove that when this country's chips were down, this president gathered our courage up.

I suspect history will honor that courage, even if a bunch of condescending, second-guessing, weasels-of-the-moment reporters do not.
