Press coverage of the Bush Presidency. Live on CSPAN now; 7:43 PM CST.

[Gabi Hayes]

Tony Snow, Richard Wolffe (sp?), Mark Knoller CBS, Cheryl sombody from the NYT, David Gregory, Terence Hunt AP, April Ryan--American Urban Radio

they're ALL YOKS and smiles, so far.

they're LAUGHING at Snow's remark about Cindy Sheehan in Crawford....yeah, that's SUCH a hoot.

They're just so chummy, it's disgusting.

nothing about how the president LOATHES, intimidates, ridicules the press

what is WRONG with these people? how can they live with themselves?

Organized by the National Press Club and the WH Correspondents' Association

I've had it on for about five minutes, and it's all fluff: what do your parents/kids think about you being near the president?

Wolffe is talking about the Presidential M&Ms

bleahhh

[Gabi Hayes]

1. it's like Tony is their bestest buddy....smiles, laughs, logrolling all around

not ONE mention about asking the the president the occasional uncomfortable question.

more and more blather about how exciting is to be in the same room as the president

Knoller, CBS radio, says it's good to be anonymous, so that he's not recognized when he goes through off-color stuff at Barnes and Noble

2. ™ASSKISFEST '07 --- did you see Gannon? Second row BIG as life & twice as ugly (eom)

[Lin]

4. 2 things--1/ they're yucking it up about their "hatemail" -2/ terence hunt says cameras not good

for the process - Puke-fest & indicative of ALL THAT'S horribly wrong w/ press.

5. NO! I have the audio running while watching the Wisconsin/MSU game.

Will have to switch back to the video to find him. actually, I think I'll tape it, to see if they say ANYthing interesting

Gregory is saying that the back and forth between him and "Tony" isn't personal, they're not enemies, but his job is to "push as hard as you can" for answers

bull SHIT!!!

as hard as you can?

granted that you're better than most, but you NEVER push it as hard as you can. the one time you pushed it a little bit harder than was commonly thought acceptable, you APOLOGIZED!

give me an ffing break, you millionaire poseur

[Lin]

8. & now for something completely different-FRONTLINE!! (eom)

[Gabi Hayes]

6. I can't take this anymore. they're all going to get broken arms from patting

themselves on the back.

Terence Hunt: most heartstopping, jawbreaking day was when Clinton said he did not have sex with that woman!!!!!

does that not say it all

NOT when all those liars lied their asses off, and plunged us into eternal WAR?

nothing about Bush's 16 words, which they admitted to be untrue?

they're wrapping up, thank Thor. too bad they didn't have an actual journalist on the panel

Knoller gushing about the HONOR it is to cover the WH.

absolutely disgusting

[Gabi Hayes]

7. perfect, ironic capper: Bob Schieffer blathering about the free press!

it's not free, this junta and their corporate masters have paid MILLIONS and MILLIONS to get just the press they desire. A lot of money, but very very cheap when one considers the brazillians made in profit, as well as the unmeasurable power gained.

Unmeasurable damage done to our country and the world

when's the next time you'll tee it up with your buddy the pRes?

go hang yourself
