Ron Fournier's ASS Press

By Ron Beasley

I don't need to quote Republican hack Ron Fournier's AP hit piece - the title says it all:

Analysis: Biden pick shows lack of confidence

No it doesn't show a "lack of confidence" it shows Obama may recognize a potential weakness and a willingness to correct it.  After almost eight years of ego driven - I can do no wrong - supernaturally inspired - gut feeling "leadership" having a president who realizes he may have a weakness or two is refreshing.

Update:

I see Cernig beat me to it - oh well great minds think alike!

Steve Benen has a comprehensive list of Fournier's recent hackery, including his gift of donuts for McCain, his "op-ed" repeating GOP talking points on "uppity" Obama and a whole slew of AP pieces produced under his editorial control. Steve writes: "Sandy Johnson, the former DC bureau chief of the AP, was asked about Fournier and the bureau when she was forced out as part of a staff shake-up. 'I just hope he doesn't destroy it,' she said.The more I see the AP's coverage, the more I think about that quote."
