not mentioning Gannon's name. Just tuned in and it seems like eveything is 'it', the reporter.

http://www.c-span.org/watch/cspan_rm.asp?Cat=TV&Code=CSScotty looks nervous. Black woman reporter just asked about how things had changed at the WH re: reporters and WH. Now talking about Syria, connecting dots, troops in Lebanon, meeting in Egypt, ask VP about that...now asked about Syria's support for terrorists...

Edited on Tue Feb-15-05 01:42 PM by Spike from MN
and Gannon was a "top" man. Looks like they were made for each other. Hmmm..."some people say" that *'s whole opposition to gay marriage came about because he asked Gannon to marry him but Gannon turned him down. That really pissed * off. If he couldn't marry Gannon, he would see that no one could and thus he set out to ban gay marriages. It's all making sense now... ;)

to report exactly what was said in the Press Room, exactly what Pres said -- on edit, they were discussing the axis of evil? I only caught part of the end of the question.

27. My attempt at a recap. I only tuned in after it started. |
|
First, there was a black female reporter asking if there had been any changes to the way the WH deals with the press corps. (Don't know the lead-in Q).
Scotty said that there were no changes that he was aware of. He then cut her off, and she piped in again, asking about investigations.
Scotty said that they were going to "get to the bottom of this", and that the "President is interested in getting to the BOTTOM of this".
He then moved on to a reporter asking about Syria, and whether it was a member of the "axis of evil", and Scotty admonished the reporter not to read between the line, and to report exactly what the WH tells him. No lie.
Then there were Qs about Venezuela.
Scotty was terse and cut people off, acting like a little W up there. He obviously could not *wait* to get out of the room!
It was beautiful, and the most important thing I saw took place *after* the PC.
That was when the cameras were on some of the reporters who weren't given a chance to ask Q's. They had huge grins and smirks on their faces and were looking at each other and rolling their eyes.
I think they know he's going down with Gannon. If you know what I mean.

I hope the reporters DO get to the bottom of this! And if Scotty goes down, so be it!

28. I loved when one reporter used the 'some people say' meme |

on simple Scottie, it was delicious. It is normally only used when questioning dems, bet Scottie wasn't too pleased, lol.

39. Nope, they know the bloggers are onto the news dump ruse |

It'll be next Monday because they'll want it to come off as "ain't no thang" right after a weekend of playing up the Syria threat on the Sunday Whorefests.
