Sorry, AeroGuy, you have to do better than the typical Fox News reader and read below the fold. Get past the first couple of paragraphs where she says "a WH spokesperson told me" and the Tim Kaine quote.

NEITHER OF WHICH I quoted, you will note, or you would have if....

After that it is ALL Lynn Sweet. Sorry to disappoint you
LOL....nothing you say here changes anything. Using word of mouth sources from Democratic operatives and the White House itself tells me that there's plenty of room to paint a rosy picture. But again, i'm not debating whether she's right or wrong. I'm debating how you can come forth with an article proclaiming to be "fact" when in reality the article doesn't source anything other than the same type of potentially unfactual sources that you're railing against. In other words, your article does nothing to prove Lynn Sweet is right, or prove everyone else who has opined on the subject, wrong. That's the very definition of conjecture.

If you don't identify with a RWNJ why reply when a post doesn't concern you?

Well considering I was responding to you, I am not quite sure I understand your comment. I said, "I identify with repubs, but said who cares where she goes on vacation", you said there is an exception to every rule, then I said "yes, now maybe next time ask questions prior to casting judgment on people"...

If you missed my point, it was stop stereotyping and casting judgment on people you have no clue about!

Um, I dont think you read my post. I asked you to read the article below the fold, and reminded you that I did not quote the above the fold content. But here you are back with it again -- why?

That is amazing. But you're going to have to let it go.

Not sure how much you know about pre-Fox, pre-Internet style journalism, but even today, responsible journalists who want to keep their jobs don't lie. You're saying Lynn Sweet is lying. First, how on earth do you think she'd get away with it? And why would she want to?

You dont seem to know who Lynn Sweet is, or to understand (though I mentioned it to you earlier, maybe you missed that too) that she is famously critical of the Obamas. Just look her up, I'm sure you'll remember her from the election days.

In this TV interview she is quite critical of the trip and criticizes Robert Gibbs. Perhaps by watching a TV clip you could get a sense of what kind of journalist she is, and whether it would be in her best interest to lie about this thing.

Ah, so now we're down to 2 friends, so we're supposed to believe that the 3 women shared the cost of their 60 rooms. I guess that sounds reasonable.

Well, then by your "logic" it appears that allot of journalists are in the unemployment line as I type this since they all lied abut this story before your gal there blew it wide open .
