Oreilly ridiculous. Mr. Cheney has a well-known press phobia
"I saw the incident as ridiculous. Mr. Cheney has a well-known press phobia. Why is it surprising to anyone that he would delay announcement of the accident so it missed the Sunday papers and chat shows?"

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,184933,00.html

See you guys, that's why Cheney chose Fox to tell his side, he has a Press phobia and we all know Fox isn't really the press.

1. At least O'Leilly got one thing right.
It's not surprising to anyone that Cheney would delay announcement of the accident. But not for the reasons Falafel Boy is positing.

6. He got another thing right, after todays interview
he'll have to concede that Fox isn't really news. After all would a man with a "press phobia" go on a real news channel?

3. It is part of the job.
If he has that, get another job!

It would be like a high-rise window cleaner with a fear of heights.

4. Must have a police phobia, also!


He avoided the police also.

Wonder if he could have passed the pee test if applied early enough?

5. Whittington had a well-known birdshot-in-the-face phobia
It didn't stop him from stepping up to the plate!

9. 'That, folks, is the most ridiculous item of the day' ~
To quote the propagandist himself.

And what is a man with such a phobia doing in such a high-profile public position? Why weren't the voters told this?

And the lithmus test question for Republican excuses for cover-ups for O'Really: Hey, Bill, 'Would Clinton have gotten away with the 'press phobia' excuse?'

Is the rightwing now saying that 'if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about' no longer applies, or ~ only applies to some of the people, some of the time?

God, it gets so confusing trying to keep up with their morality rules ~ freepers heads must be spinning most of the time, trying to adjust to the latest rules each time one of their rightwing heroes gets into trouble. :rofl:
