The gunwalking scandal, that is. Are they mad that it happened? Are they mad that people have been murdered as a direct result, including U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry?
No, they’re mad that we’re paying attention.
Here’s CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson talking to Laura Ingraham this morning:
6:05 – Laura: So they were literally screaming at you?
Attkisson: Yes. Well the DOJ woman was just yelling at me. The guy from the White House on Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me. [Laura: Who was the person? Who was the person at Justice screaming?] Eric Schultz. Oh, the person screaming was [DOJ spokeswoman] Tracy Schmaler, she was yelling not screaming. And the person who screamed at me was Eric Schultz at the White House.
8:28 – …It is sort of a drip, drip. And I’m certainly not the one to make the case for DOJ and White House about what I’m doing wrong. They will tell you that I’m the only reporter–as they told me–that is not reasonable. They say the Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, I’m the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I’m unfair and biased by pursuing it.
That’s how you’re supposed to deal with criticism and inconvenient questions, isn’t it? Well, they might want to stock up on throat lozenges. They’re going to be doing a lot more yelling and screaming.
