1. Whoever dares to ask, he'll say it's a trick question and refuse to answer

2. it won't be Helen Thomas either
they don't even call on her anymore, after being there for 15 fucking presidents. i seriously doubt anyone has the cajones to ask him, and if they did, bush would get redfaced and refuse to answer.

THAT's why we should never let up on this sickening story

3. Other than Helen Thomas or Dan Rather, probably no one.
Don't hold your breath, cause it ain't gonna happen. If they're potentially willing to ask a question like that and they aren't a major fixture, they aren't going to even be allowed in the room.

5. No American presstitute is likely to have the balls
...at least not anytime soon. It will probably be a EUROPEAN journo, one who knows damn right well that it is one shot across the bow, and that's it.

The chimp's reaction: he'll feign ignorance of the entire situation, and direct the reporter to ask his press secretary, and move quickly--quickly, mind you--on to the next questioner. It's how he handles shit--if there was a fifty alarm fire blazing right next door to the White House, that was set by him dropping his doobie, he'd pretend not to know about it, even as he was waving the smoke from his eyes and coughing to beat the band.

6. It’d be Russell Mokhiber but I doubt he will get called on-
Scottie & Me
(formerly known as Ari & I)
White House Press Briefing with Scott McClellan

Tuesday, February 1, 2005 12:15 PM

by Russell Mokhiber

Mokhiber: Scott, last night, in an amicus brief filed before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Justice Department came down in favor of displaying the Ten Commandments at courthouses and statehouses around the country. My question is - does the President believe in Commandment Number Six - thou shalt not kill - as it applies to the U.S. invasion of Iraq?

Scott McLellan: Go ahead, next question

7. Is there anyone in the Press Corps that has the guts?
Besides Helen Thomas whom they will not allow to ask a question, is there anyone who doesn't pander to the dope head?
