Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Rumsfeld Aide Holds Firm on Times Pulitzer, Criticizes Obama

By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

After we published this Whisper, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's aide Keith Urbahn, who slapped the NYT story in our original item, came out punching again. He told us: "Since the New York Times got a Pulitzer for its discredited reporting, perhaps the administration deserves Olympic gold for its latest backflip. Typical for the Obama administration, this is a 'change' we can't believe in."

NYT Story Eviserates Rumsfeld Defense

GOP Propaganda. Pentagon IG eviserates Rumsfeld defense of Media Generals

The Generals got corporate contracts, bonuses and TV fame for misleading us into a bloody disasterous war.

What is Paul Bedard getting in return for ignoring the NYT rebuttal to Rumsfeld and his treasonous aides?

Hint: ask for more $ than Armstrong Williams got, that was embarrassing.

Why allow spokesman to use a DISCREDITED Report?

Why don't you call out Urbahn on his continual use of a report that was withdrawn for inaccuracies? Giving his a platform with out fact checking is why many of us distrust mainstream media.

Bobbles Poll: Obama's Socialist Joke?

President Obama and "Oboker" bobbleheads for Washington Whispers. Bobbleheads provided by webobbles.com.

Shouts that President Obama is steering the nation and budget in a socialist manner have become so loud that now our bobble supplier has designed a "Socialist Obama" titled "OBOKER," a play off Heath Ledger's evil Joker who sought social upheaval in the The Dark Knight. Do you think that Obama's agenda is exactly what the country needs or a push into socialism?
