Message: [QUOTE="JoeCollege, post: 101550, member: 189"] IB is the self-admitted resident blowhard and definitely sees things in more extreme light than some of us do. But he's been on these boards forever,as has dasher. This isn't about either IB or Dash, it's about the fact that JB is easily baited, and it's about whether his famous loyalty and willingness to rise to the bait will cost him his job in this case. I'd argue that even if JB said nothing the media would crucify him and his job would be in jeopardy. I commend him for his comments from the perspective of someone who has followed the coverage and watched the entire press conference. But as has been pointed out, the idiot talking heads on TV aren't interested in context, detail, and careful analysis, but rather in salacious headlines, character assassination, and career destruction. As long as it isn't their own. [/QUOTE]
