The New York Times' McClellanGate Watch

I'm going to post a daily accounting of the amount of stories and print the New York Times devotes to former press secretary Scott McClellan's charges that Bush was in on the leaking and the lying surrounding Joe Wilson and his wife.

Here is what they carried today:








All set, readers?!

No, the Times would rather run a piece by Bush cock-sucker Sheryl Gay Stolberg on Bush's last fuck, excuse me, year in office.

The truth is, the NYT is really finished as a newspaper.

Sadly, everyone knows it is nothing more than a propaganda sheet.

No better than a Hearst or Murdoch paper, sob!

"In Bush’s Last Year, Modest Domestic Aims" by SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 — As President Bush looks toward his final year in office, with Democrats controlling Congress and his major domestic initiatives dead on Capitol Hill, he is shifting his agenda to what aides call “kitchen table issues” — small ideas that affect ordinary people’s lives and do not take an act of Congress to put in place.

Like a dictator would do (if he is even leavin')!

Over the past few months, Mr. Bush has sounded more like the national Mr. Fix-It than the man who began his second term with a sweeping domestic policy agenda of overhauling Social Security, remaking the tax code and revamping immigration law.

Awww, Bush is Mr. Fix-It now!

Go, Sheryl, go! Go, Sheryl, go!

Just don't get goo on yo' face!!!!


Now, with little political capital left, Mr. Bush, like President Bill Clinton before him, is using his executive powers — and his presidential platform — to make little plans sound big.

Nothing about property seizure orders or dictatorship declarations that Bush already has issued.

Administration won't let you print that, even if you wanted to, right, Times?


He traveled to the shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland to announce federal protection for two coveted species of game fish, the striped bass and the red drum. He appeared in the Rose Garden to call on lenders to help struggling homeowners refinance. He came out in favor of giving the Food and Drug Administration new authority to recall unsafe foods.

Just this weekend, thanks to an executive order by Mr. Bush, the military is opening up additional air space — the White House calls it a “Thanksgiving express lane” — to lessen congestion in the skies. And Mr. Bush’s aides say more announcements are in the works, including another initiative, likely to be announced soon, intended to ease the mortgage lending crisis.

Awwww, what a great asshole!

Yeah, thanks for looking after us all with the inside job of 9/11 and the lying us into Iraq!

After seven years, Bushy finally cares about me as I wallow in the worst shit I've ever known!!!!!


With a Mideast peace conference planned for the coming week and a war in Iraq to prosecute, Mr. Bush is, of course, deeply engaged in the most pressing foreign policy matters of the day.

Yeah, war is fun, ain't it, Georgie?


The “kitchen table” agenda is part of a broader domestic political strategy — which some Republicans close to the White House attribute to Mr. Bush’s new counselor, Ed Gillespie — for the president to find new and more creative ways of engaging the public as his days in office dwindle and his clout with Congress lessens.

Gotta find more creative ways to bullshit the public since everyone can smell the stinkshit is more like it!!


“These are issues that don’t tend to be at the center of the political debate but actually are of paramount importance to a lot of Americans,” said Joel Kaplan, the deputy White House chief of staff.

One Republican close to the White House, who has been briefed on the strategy, said the aim was to talk to Americans about issues beyond Iraq and terrorism, so that Mr. Bush’s hand will be stronger on issues that matter to him, like vetoing spending bills or urging Congress to pay for the war.

Yeah, he wants to talk beyond the wars, just fund them while he vetoes the spending bills the very same public he is bullshitting needs.

Well, FUCK HIM!!!!!!!! WE ARE NOT AMUSED!!!!!!!!!

You catch that jiz yet, Sheryl?! Keep going, baby!


“It’s a ticket to relevance, if you will, because right now Bush’s connection, even with the Republican base, is all related to terrorism and the fighting or prosecution of the Iraq war,” this Republican said. “It’s a way to keep his hand in the game, because you’re only relevant if you’re relevant to people on issues that they talk about in their daily lives.”

I'm disgusted with these assholes! Now, after seven years of lies?

FUCKING HAD IT!!!!!!!!


Mr. Bush often says he wants to “sprint to the finish,” and senior White House officials say this is a way for him to do so.

What, by launching WWIII and attacking Iran?


The president has also expressed concerns that Congress has left him out of the loop; in a recent press conference, he said he was exercising his veto power because “that’s one way to ensure that I am relevant.” The kitchen table initiatives are another.

Yet for a president accustomed to dealing in the big picture, talking about airline baggage handling or uniform standards for high-risk foods requires a surprising dip into the realm of minutiae — a realm that, until recently, Mr. Bush’s aides have viewed with disdain.

Just like they view the American people and anyone else who doesn't do the Sig Heil salute (or blow them like Sherrie here)!!


Nor does the public appear to be laughing at Mr. Bush.

No, the last thing we are doing about this mass-murdering war criminal is laughing.

Raging, maybe, but hardly laughing at what this assshole has done to AmeriKa -- with your gd help, Times!!!!!!!!!!


When the president sat down at a rustic wooden desk on the shores of the Chesapeake last month to sign an executive order that made permanent a ban on commercial fishing of striped bass and red drum in federal waters, people in the capital barely took notice.

But it was big news on the southwest coast of Louisiana, where Chris Harbuck, a 45-year-old independent financial planner and recreational angler, likes to fish with his wife and teenage children. Mr. Harbuck is also the president of the Louisiana chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association, a nonprofit group dedicated to conserving marine resources; Mr. Bush’s order is splashed all over his latest newsletter.

“We were very thrilled with what he did,” Mr. Harbuck said.

That is exactly the outside-the-Beltway reaction the White House is hoping for. Mr. Bush’s aides are calculating that the public, numbed by what Mr. Kaplan called “esoteric budget battles” and other Washington conflicts, will respond to issues like long airline delays or tainted toys from China. They were especially pleased with the air congestion initiative.

“You could just tell from the coverage how it did strike a chord,” said Kevin Sullivan, Mr. Bush’s communications counselor.


Yeah, we are all a bunch of dumb fucks out here, duh!!!

Yah, duh, president is so good!!! Really struck a chord with the planes!

The only chord the guy strikes in me is the hatred chord!

Every time I see him or read him!


Yet some of Mr. Bush’s new initiatives have had little practical effect. Fishing for red drum and striped bass, for instance, is already prohibited in federal waters; Mr. Bush’s action will take effect only if the existing ban is lifted. And the Federal Aviation Administration can already open military airspace on its own, without presidential action.

Oh, so they were ALL GARBAGE INITIATIVES!!!!!!!!

That WHOLE AIRLINE thing a FUCKING STAGED PROMOTION!!!!!

And the MSM SHOVED IT UP OUR ASS FOR DAYS!!!!!!!!

I HATE THE MSM FOR SHILLING FOR THIS ASSHOLE CRIMINAL MASS-MURDERER!!!!!!!!

MSM SUCKS COCK -- LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Democrats, like Senator Byron L. Dorgan of North Dakota, who runs the Senate’s Democratic Policy Committee, dismiss the actions as window dressing. “It’s more words than substance,” said Mr. Dorgan said, adding he was surprised to see a president who has often seemed averse to federal regulation using his regulatory authority.

“He’s kind of a late bloomer,” Mr. Dorgan said.

No, he's been preparing for the dictatorship for a long time, he's just gotta say "emergency" and we are formally in one.

Don't you pay attention or read the papers, Dorgan?


Mr. Bush, for his part, has been using the kitchen table announcements to tweak Democrats, by calling on them to pass legislation he has proposed, such as a bill modernizing the aviation administration. The message, in Mr. Sullivan’s words, is, “We’re not going to just sit back because they’re obstructing things the president wants to accomplish. We are trying to find other ways to do things that are meaningful to regular people out there."

After seven fucking years, lying the country into war and looting the country, they come back with this shit?!

And asshole is vetoing spending bills left and right?

FUCK OFF, ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So how's that cum taste, Sheryl?

Ready for an ass-fuck now?

God damn fucking N.Y. Times!
