New York Times Disses Prez: Nation shocked, SHOCKED!

New York Times editorial board says administration has 'lost all credibility' | Fox News:

The New York Times editorial board, which twice endorsed President Obama and has championed many planks of his agenda, on Thursday turned on the president over the government's mass collection of phone data -- saying the administration has "lost all credibility." 

The grey lady's editorial section lately has shown frustration with the administration's civil liberties record. It has criticized the escalation of the lethal drone program, and it lashed out after the Justice Department acknowledged seizing reporters' phone records last month. 

The report that the National Security Agency has been collecting phone records from millions of Verizon subscribers appeared to be the last straw.

An editorial published late Thursday said the administration was using the "same platitude" it uses in every case of overreach -- that "terrorists are a real menace and you should just trust us." 

The editorial continued: "Those reassurances have never been persuasive -- whether on secret warrants to scoop up a news agency's phone records or secret orders to kill an American suspected of terrorism -- especially coming from a president who once promised transparency and accountability. The administration has now lost all credibility." 

The New York Times, overnight, amended the last line to say: "The administration has now lost all credibility on this issue." 

The editorial board claimed Obama "is proving the truism that the executive will use any power it is given and very likely abuse it."

Well, I wanna tell ya, Pilgrim -- the day the Old Grey Lady claims a socialist president has lost credibility is darn sure big news to this cowboy.

This announcement is tantamount to a 50-year-old hooker who decides that street-walking is NOT a good way to pay the rent on her brownstone when she discovers that she caught a social disease. 

We already knew she was a whore, but we never expected her to admit it ... let alone turn her back< on her best client. (Umm ... sorry; an unfortunate choice of words.)
