Remember a while back Perry tried to say that he "confronted" POTUS about using troops at the border when goodhair met POTUS at a TX airport...then the real story came out...he tried to hand POTUS a letter that never even ended up in POTUS' hands...it ended up being handed to POTUS' adviser and pouting Perry later whined later "it was a sternly worded letter". But Perry (and our local TX media) milked the moment all they could, trying to make goodhair look like a badass in "confronting" POTUS. There was video of the nanosecond long occurance and Perry description of the incident was NO where near what really happened.

(9,974 posts)Yep!! That was the nanosecond "non confrontation"! And given what has been exposed about good hair on a national level now, everyone knows what a whimpy tongue tied fool he is...would have loved to hear some audio of that "confrontation"

Like they won't even use the proper term for him.

(9,974 posts)And that is a BIG "if". Other than that, most of the time they just use his last name. But they are quick to still say "President Bush" when they are doing a news story about him! I know that all ex office holders (especially Presidents) still are usually addressed with the title, but to hear them use it with chimpass and NOT the current POTUS annoys the hell out me because I know that they are doing it on purpose!

'Oh, hey, sorry for the mistake. (chuckle, chuckle, chuckle)'
Like the on-screen 'D' designation when they have on-screen news stories of Republicans in trouble with the law.
The thing is, I'm just so tired of it all. Like all else I witness but have no true recourse to repair.
