Waling and gnashing of teeth

Crybamababy

In 1995 Air Force One headed home with American dignitaries who attended the funeral of assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.  President Clinton, more intent on getting head from one of his flying bimbos (Eleanor Mondale was a favorite) I suppose, put Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole in the rear luggage compartment, never speaking to them.   Upon landing Newt commented on it, obviously piqued.  One hundred and sixty-eight thousand gallons of ink were used over the next  weeks by the media, calling Newt a cry baby.  They later claimed Newt used it as an excuse to "shutdown" the gummint in a budget battle.   Remember? TODAY “ Mr. Obama .. used Monday’s appearance here to deliver a hearty defense of his policies and take a few whacks at Republicans. “They talk about me like a dog,” the president said. “That’s not in my prepared remarks, but it’s true.” And Mr. Obama repeatedly referred to the House Republican leader, Representative John Boehner, as “the man who wants to be speaker.”  [here] ” Poor Baby.  But I doubt they talk about him like a dog.  People like dogs.
