Someone needs a little practice:
It looks like Rick Lowry of National Review offered the White House his services in doing some positive P.R. on behalf of Rove protege Tim Griffin, who the administration had sought to sought to muscle into the U.S. attorney job in Arkansas as a replacement for the fired Bud Cummins.
In a January 2007 email, White House political director Sara Taylor wrote:
Prior is going after Griffin. He’s made this his cause…We need to find some folks to defend Tim and his credentials, not to mention our policy.
Your thoughts? Rich Lowry offered to help Tim
The best part? Taylor went on to ask: “Anyone better?”
Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich.
If you really want to learn how to properly fellate power, you could do worse than boning up on the technique of John ”Linda Lovelace“ Solomon. The consensus first choice in media mouthpieces.

This is the fault of blogofascists, who are clearly destroying journalism by forcing journalists to be whores.

Ha ha ha this is everywhere, I love it.
Lowy and Solomon are The Fellatio Brothers

Seems that Glenn Greenwald has discovered the Reverse Nuremburg defense. Without crediting the Eds, natch.

Sir, these goatblowers give fellatio (a noble manly sport, hailed in song and verse- “Hail Fellatio! Thou dos’t tarry…”) a bad name.
And secondharmonic, I thinks that’s Digby (dressed as Greenwald, he’s on vacation,or at some blog thingy…)doing the Reverse Nuremburg on Eric Holder.

corection: it is Daphne Eviatar of the Washington Independent who is today’s Greedwalder.
Carry on.

But you can’t hold a whole movement responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole conservative movement? And if the whole conservative movement is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our political institutions in general? I put it to you, Poor Man – isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

In right-wing parlance, such stenography would be called “shoving White House talking points down our throats”.
August 12, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Now I’m confused. Who’s fellating whom?
August 12, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Let us not be confused.
Let us all dance. Dance as we all danced when Fred Schneider had a porn ‘stache.

You may also recall the late and way overly lamented Tim Russert, whom the Cheney administration discussed not using as their first conduit for getting PR out their since Russert’s show, in Dick Cheney’s view, was perceived as looking like too friendly a forum.
