7. Lots of posts but NO details on any of them
It's a bit frustrating for us with no tv, no streaming apps and no sound cards.

8. All the posts are like yours - sensational headlines with no substance.
I'm dying to watch Scottie being brought to a boil.

9. sorry again...
But you have to understand how we're all jumping here trying to get people to watch this...hard to cover every question... Most are asking why the WH is keeping mum on this...why won't Scottie admit to lying when he said Rove had NOTHING to do with the outing so that's why they all jumped...does that help?? You'll have to check it out on the c-span site later, I guess... We're not stenographers here...

17. That's much better - thanks for the highlights.
It would be so nice to catch some of this on the national evening news. If they would only do a Daily Show spot showing where and when Scottie told us Rove had nothing to do with the outing and when he said anyone related would be fired - showing today's Q&A interspersed with the old footage.

16. It's about Rove and Plame. I was going crazy wondering what
they were asking. Was it Iraq, Plame, G8, terrorism.

so thanks for giving us some idea what was exciting everyone.

21. Les Has Been the Standard Press Corps Fruitcake Since Before Gannon Even
Even Ari Fleischer and Wittle Scottie knew he was a batshit whacked-out handjob.

23. i will say one good thing about him-----
When Helen Thomas was shunned by the wh Les many times would say something like "No Scott, let Helen ask the first question" and i beleive he was sincere.

19. scottie...
I shall go to the foreign press, none of whom speak English, when questions get tough... they don't care about Rove, they care about TERRA (gone with the wind music plays).

22. I know, I love all of scotty's 'no comments' followed up by...
"but we can't wait to cooperate and discuss this fully once the investigation has concluded." OMG, they're all laughing at Scotty now & they turned the mike off again!

26. It was
Edited on Mon Jul-11-05 12:45 PM by blogslut
a tag-team, gangbang assault on old Scotty. I think they smell blood.

Did you hear the one dude at the end when everybody was deciding if they could eek one more answer out of Scott?

"It's not worth it."

And they all laughed and laughed.

keep throwing them balls, people!

29. LOL! I was wondering what all the cackling was about!
I missed it because I was trying to write down some comments from the last reporter...

Yeah, Scotty, I hope you wear your Depends the next time you have a press meeting... Even the Fox reporter was asking about Rove... I think the WH Press Corp is starting to grow a bit of a backbone...

28. All our little "journalists (sharks)" needed was just a little blood in
the water. A feeding frenzy may insue! One can only hope.

Keep on freeway blogging, put bumper stickers on your cars, mobolize, chaos market (leave info everywhere, even in churches). The message is getting out and "we the people", we can embolden our journalists. This is our last chance, I do believe.

30. Has C-Span Linked It Yet???
I MISSED it... and I LOVE David Corn! Told my husband once a long time ago when he used to be on C-Span a lot.

Hey, I fell in LOVE today. He said, Yeah? With Who? David Corn I said... he looks a LOT like you! He cracked up! But I did fall in LOVE with him in a way, not JUST the politics either! He's soooooo cute!! Oh, screw my women's Lib for today, I'm a Scorpio!

And it's true, there is a resemblance to my husband!
