That would be awfully overt censorship of the news, since yesterday's press conference was so good. I'll be amazed if networks don't carry it, myself.

Same Super Bowl Hearing is being shown on CSPAN and CSPAN3 right now. Looks like they are trying to hide the press briefing.

11. Yesterday, I remember thinking - "I bet Scott needed a drink afterwards." |
|
If I'd just been through that, it's probably what I would have done. And if so, I bet he wasn't the only guy in the building wanting to hide inside some bottle (or maybe actually doing it).

He might need a little "courage" to get through it today! Maybe they could play a little drinking game- Scotty has to take a drink every time he refuses to answer a question! Then we'd get to the bottom of this really quick... :)

It takes a while for them to get started. Yesterday the link was active for ~15 minutes before they went to a live shot of the podium. Even then the "gaggle" didn't start for a bit.

Scott refuses to answer why GW didn't take his physical in '72. Keeps saying "gutter politics, gutter politics." Then he was asked why it's gutter politics to ask the question, and he keeps saying it's been addressed already. But he WON'T answer.

Some wingnut reporter quoted Kerry from 92 (I think) saying that we shouldn't be holding people's views and service from Vietnam against them. The reporter then asked if Bush intended to put a stop to this line of questioning from Kerry right now, or words to that effect.
I have news for the freep "journalist": Kerry's not the one pushing it. The press (miracle of miracles) is actually pushing the story, as they should.
