if Bush can call newsmen "assholes" on the air, a newsman can call Bush a monkey.

no news here

Bush did NOT "call newsmen "assholes" on the air"...

Bush whispered into the ear of someone (I think Cheney; not sure) and a microphone picked it up...That's different from Bush intentionally saying it into the microphone for public consumption...

If this lady was sitting at a restaurant and said it to friends, it would be no big deal, but she was on the clock and being a representative of the network she works for...

You thinking it's no big deal is saying you don't believe professionalism in journalism is needed...

One would hope standards would be higher than this...
