The Los Angeles Times describes this meeting in a cautious manner:
WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration and its Israeli and Palestinian allies stepped gingerly toward a new round of formal Mideast peace talks Monday, expressing cautious optimism while lowering expectations for the conference.
But The New York Times could not have painted a more anti-Bush picture, including giving President Clinton some subtle kudos:
Nov. 26 — It might seem, after nearly seven years of deliberate detachment from Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, that President Bush has plunged into Middle Eastern diplomacy with Clintonesque energy.
The article title says "Seeking a Mideast Path, Bush Offers a Nudge." A Nudge? How long did they search for a word that would define as little effort as possible?

And Republicans get the bad rap...
November 27, 2007 - 08:35 ET by Vivian LeeIt seems that Republicans are always getting accused of constantly bringing up Clinton.
But the NYT can't talk about him enough - even if that means 'stooping' to comparing Bush to him.
How can they compare plunge (to cause to penetrate or enter quickly and forcibly into something) and nudge (to touch or push gently)?
The New York Times should
November 27, 2007 - 09:34 ET by kgThe New York Times should include a 'barf bag' stuffed inside their rag as a regular feature. Or at least directions on the back page on how to turn the Times into one.
They're Losing it...
November 27, 2007 - 08:51 ET by heldmywIn the old days, they'd have gotten some 'scare quotes' in there...
i.e. L "Seeking Mideast 'Peace', Bush Offers a 'Nudge'."
See? Much more denigrating.
C'mon NYT! Your move to the center is disturbing.
Whoring Presstitutes can't find their ass with both hands
November 27, 2007 - 09:20 ET by RonCBush and Rice seeing much success in their 'diplomacy' is as likely as seeing ABC, CBS, NBC & CNN completely drop all leftist bias, firing every employee and hiring new all-Republican staff.
Neither is about to happen - most think we can safely bet the farm on both.
So the question on thinking minds is, 'Who's the most stupid here?' - The answer may be Hamas, particularly if Abbas walks away with some totally unexpected gains.
What if there's a classic case of misunderestimation in Annapolis? It could be more fun than the MSM is able to bear - and you know they'll surely howl foul!!
Sam Donaldson (sp?)
November 27, 2007 - 09:50 ET by iveseenitallOur local radio station did an interview with Sam Donaldson (sp?) this morning. The interviewer and Sam had a good laugh bashing the President's latest peace attempts. Sam even mocked Dr. Rice. These left-wing jerks never go away and demonstrate their personal bias in everything they say. "Liberals " make me sick.
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

Scheeze! These left-wing jerks never go away and demonstrate their personal bias in everything they say. "Liberals " make me sick.

Now think about what he did
November 27, 2007 - 09:54 ET by JimboNow think about what he did on the radio show this morning vs. the years of "legitimate" reporting he supposedly has done. Not that I haven't been doing so all along, but how can any of these people be taken seriously when they address the nation every night as "objective" reporters?

Mid East Peace Deal
November 27, 2007 - 09:44 ET by mattmFirst, the Arabs must agree to the 1948 UN Charter establishing Israel as a nation.
After that....
Yes indeed, the wars
November 27, 2007 - 10:38 ET by ConservativeRexYes indeed, the wars and conflicts in the middle East were stopped with Clintoesque energy alright.
It seems a middle East summit is not necessary, is it? These shills for the Clinton's have taken an air of Pravdaesque meaning to most people. Just fodder for laughs on exactly how they will skew the news to keep those criminals in a favorable light.
I am literally surprised you don't see (Tass New Agency) after their ( Times/Post) by-line, it would be more honest in keeping with the Marxist they shill for.
