Camping Out at Crawford, Texas.

It's interesting watching reporters at Crawford. These big city cub reporters out in the boonies. Nothing for miles and miles with not a Starbucks or Ben & Jerry's nearby.
So from their newly rented campers they show us zoom pictures of the ranch house. Is is ostentatious, hell no it's just a little farmhouse with plain old siding. Really not the place for big city Presidential reporters. Then they show us the inside of their camper and where they make their (non starbucks) coffee.
Could it be the news media has been spoiled for 8 years? Clinton/Gore never took reporters out to their country house while they vacationed. Why, you ask?. That's because they own no house since they've been living off the taxpayer for all these years. These public servants never spent a dime for anything. So here comes George W. Bush with a ranch in the middle of land most people would only ever fly over. How awful for the news media.
So why doesn't the news media care for George? Well, after camping out and finally getting inside the farmhouse David Gregory from NBC asks a dumb question and gets laughed at by George W. ala George Bush Sr.
Could it be that this President elect will not kiss these reporters butts? You betcha so get used to it Mr. liberal biased news media reporter.
