Would You Rather Face a Polar Bear or Dana Perino?

I think I'd go with the bear. The small-but-tough former White House spokesman has some choice words for the media and the left on Obama's decision to stay with the Bush policy on polar bears:

Where are the breathless and indignant above-the-fold, page one newspaper stories?
Yesterday was a busy one for the Administration's communications teams. They waited until late Friday afternoon to release their internal report about what politely can be described as the misguided AF1 flight over lower Manhattan, and they announced that they'd decided to keep President Bush's policy on polar bears.

Well now. I remember what happened when we made our announcement after all of the thoughtful consideration that was given to the decision. But if you read the clips today, you'd think we had announced two completely different things. For example, where is the outrage and the letters from Senator Boxer and Congressman Waxman decrying the Friday afternoon release, calling for investigations and alleging manipulation of the science and the law? Where are the press releases and lawsuits from the environmental groups? Where are the two people who dressed up as polar bears and crashed Sen. Kempthorne's press conference? Where are the breathless and indignant above-the-fold, page one newspaper stories? And the cute photos of the polar bears standing on floating ice floes? Where are the pointed allegations of "rollback" on the cable news scrolls? Where is the bluster and the cynical barbs from the talking heads?

And where is former Vice President Al Gore unleashing his caricature of righteous indignation and moral condemnation of this offense against nature? Barring all that, where is the explicit acknowledgment that President Bush must have gotten the policy right?

She's still a good spokesman for the Bush administration, and having been the press secretary, her criticisms of the media are especially valuable.
