How long until the press finally asks Perino about White House approval of torture?
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/04/14/how-long-until-the-press-finally-asks-perino-about-white-house-approval-of-torture/

Last Wednesday, ABC News reported that, beginning in 2002, top officials in the White House specifically approved torture techniques, including waterboarding. On Friday, President Bush admitted that he, too, was aware of and approved the discussions. Yet the White House press corps has yet to ask the White House spokesmen a single question on the issue, in the three briefings held since the story broke. (Luckily, reporters had time to cover the Little League tee-ball all-star game and the President’s weekend plans to clear brush at his Crawford ranch.)

(end snip)

And ABC: Where is the video of Martha's interview with Chimpy??? The part where,you know, he admits that he ordered the torture and he was damned proud of it too? Other parts of Martha's interview are online, why not that part? Hmmmmmmmm?

1. When is our sun scheduled to go supernova?
I'd say that in about 5,000,000,000 years we can stop waiting for the msm to ask anything like a meaningful question about war crimes committed by this administration.

6. Not until we talk to death
the fact that a man running for President used the word "bitter".

Things like torture and Iraq and recession just don't matter
