Bryon York point out that Chris Matthews has a selective memory (goes with the lazy leg)...

By using the word "regime," Limbaugh was doing something he does all the time: throwing the language of the opposition back in their faces. In the Bush years, we often heard the phrase "Bush regime" from some quarters of the left. So Limbaugh applied it to Obama.

Apparently some people didn't get it. On MSNBC, Chris Matthews appeared deeply troubled by the word. "I've never seen language like this in the American press," he said, "referring to an elected representative government, elected in a totally fair, democratic, American election -- we will have another one in November, we'll have another one for president in a couple years -- fair, free, and wonderful democracy we have in this country…. We know that word, 'regime.' It was used by George Bush, 'regime change.' You go to war with regimes. Regimes are tyrannies. They're juntas. They're military coups. The use of the word 'regime' in American political parlance is unacceptable, and someone should tell the walrus [Limbaugh] to stop using it."

I'm not accessing Nexis as Bryon York did, but Bing finds 9.350M answering hits, including the official Wiki entry for the "Presidency of George W. Bush", lovingly answering to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_regime.

You've been discredited again, lefty leg tingly sort of proggtard, Chris Matthews.

Just like a government employee. Hit a civilian pedestrian in a crosswalk, then lie and say he was 'jaywalking', and force the Washington D.C. Police to give him a citation, whilst he's lying there tranquilized in a hospital emergency room!

Struck Down: Feds Refuse to Explain How Agent Injured Daily Caller Writer

The State Department has refused to answer basic questions about an accident that took place in Washington on Wednesday night, in which a U.S. Diplomatic Security Service vehicle struck Daily Caller employee Sean Medlock as he was crossing the street.

An agent in the vehicle, Mike McGuinn, did not identify himself to Medlock at the scene, or apologize for running him down. Indeed, Washington, D.C., police drove to a local emergency room to serve Medlock with a jaywalking citation as he lay prostrate in a hospital bed, while a man who identified himself as “special agent” stood by watching and taking notes.

Reached on his cell phone the following day by the Daily Caller, McGuinn refused to answer questions about the incident.

“I’m a federal agent and I’m not allowed to talk to the media,” McGuinn said, citing “liability.” McGuinn initially declined even to reveal which agency he works for. “You can refer to the [DC] police department report,” he said before hanging up abruptly. (According the police department, no report will be publicly available for at least three days.)

According to Medlock, who writes under the name Jim Treacher, he was struck at about 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, while crossing M Street in downtown Washington. Medlock says he was walking within the bounds of the crosswalk, toward a blinking white signal, when a government SUV suddenly turned left and plowed into him, knocking him to the ground.

A ticket for jaywalking? That thing isn't worth the paper it's printed on! The address of the 'offense' is clearly wrong...

Curiously, the ticket says that Medlock was struck at an intersection four blocks from where the accident actually took place. And it claims that Medlock was walking diagonally across the intersection at the time. In one of his strikingly short conversations with the Daily Caller, agent Mike McGuinn acknowledged that Medlock was not jaywalking at all, but walking “outside the crosswalk when the incident occurred.”

The question is: Did the federal agent driving the SUV, faced with potential liabilities from the accident, encourage local police to issue some sort – any sort – of citation to Medlock, to establish his culpability?

Encourage them? Try forced them! The DC Police are on short leashes. They will do only as they are told. There's no doubt who runs Washington D.C., and it's not the citizenry or the local constabulary.

Let's hope the Daily Caller takes care of it's employee, and Sean Medlock (Jim Treacher!) sues, sues, sues.

I wouldn’t doubt the State Department driver was a drinker or ‘medicated’. A wink and a nod to the local ‘police’, and these douchenozzle government wankers can get away with (cough-Vince Foster-cough) murder.

Go get ‘em, JTlol.
