I'm not saying that there's some specific political bias to get him. But there is a bias. The bias is that he's an idiot. So that's what gets played up, and reinforces the position. Just like when Clinton was in office, he was branded a liar/cheat. That was the bias against him (aka the republican attack machine), Al Gore lacking any personality, etc etc etc. It's not specifically political, it's just that the political media just stirs up shit.
All news stories, pictures, headlines, whatever always reinforce the already stated media opinion of the politico.
Had Clinton said the phrase this way, it never would have been discussed.
But the media decides what little minute aspect of the person to key in on and complain about and mock him. The political media just sucks. They suck because people are stupid. And if the press actually discussed the issues in an unbiased and factual (read: boring) way, no one would watch. So they have to be retards about it.
And to set things straight, I'm not voting for George Bush.
