I think Bill Press is entertaining. I enjoy his show. But I do get annoyed when he starts to squibble and throw lowbrow comments out.
Today, December 16th, 2008 -- Bill was laughing it up about Laura Bush using the phrase "Happy Holidays" during a CNN interview. I'm assuming this was just a time filler due to lack of news - since the economy has recovered and the auto manufacturers are no longer are in trouble. Isn't Happy Holidays more inclusive of everyone? What if she had an epiphany and a change of heart on the subject? Mr. Press should have taken the opportunity to praise the First Lady. Instead he degrades her and talks about her compromising her position.
Here's an equivalent example. You mentor a young pro-choice girl and convince her to forgo an abortion she has scheduled. Now you have two choices, you can go home and be satisfied that she changed her mind, or take the Bill Press route and demean her for compromising her loyalty to the issue. Didn't you just get what you wanted? Why the hell would you then belittle the person?
By the way, the Obama's straddle both sides of the fence with a Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas, just to be safe.
