Who writes George Stephanopoulos' headlines?

February 13, 2009 1:52 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

The headline from his ABC News blog [emphasis added]: "Gregg Withdrawal Embarrasses White House."

From the Stephanopoulos item:

Yet, it is an amicable split. Both men have said they admire each other. Gregg said during his news conference today that he still thinks Obama will be a good president, and that he likes his bank plan. Obama, too, said that he admires Gregg's independence and thought it would be a plus in the cabinet. Now, however, it's an embarrassment to both men.

      And how about that questionable Obama vetting, right? I mean, how could they not ask the question on their questionnaire:

      "Do you intend on changing your mind just before confirmation?"

      Geez, these guys can't anything right! That is, at least, the MSM's main theme right now. Funny thing is, outside the beltway, Obama's approval is in the high 60s!!

      Prop up an unpopular admin (BushieCo), bring down a popular one. This is how the beltway uses their power.
