MEDIA SNUB: News outlets balk at AG’s off-record talks on snooping

MEDIA SNUB: News outlets balk at AG’s off-record talks on snooping. AP, NYT and HuffPo said “Hell no, we won’t go!” But Politico said, “How high would you like us to jump?” Seriously, why would anyone trust this man any further than they could throw him… unless it was under a bus?

  • Looks like Holder wanted to give "instructions" to the media and the FINALLY told him to go pound sand up his ass.

  • Holder: "Dammit! These media people know we can't tell them what spin to report in the open. (To an aide) Re-schedule this for next week and get Jarrett on the phone and have the WH remind these useful idiots of their place. Oh, and tell her to make sure that next lump of hush money is paid to Lehrner TODAY."

  • He's investigating himself and holding off-the-record briefings for reporters..is there anything Eric Holder can't do? (Aside from telling the truth, which is apparently not in his repertoire.)

  • I'd go just to know who else to send the subpoena to. Intel gathering, baby. Keep your friends close and 0's friends closer.

  • You are probably in trouble if you are a Democommie and Politico and NYT wont come to your private asskissaroo.
