Perino To Reporters: ‘From Where I Stand And The Questions I Get,’ You Are Clueless About FISA
During today’s White House press briefing, spokeswoman Dana Perino announced that the Bush administration will be holding a “background briefing” on wiretapping this afternoon. Resisting their calls to have the briefing on the record, Perino claimed that it was for reporters to “understand the complexities of the issue and where we stand.”

The briefing, however, seems intended to brainwash reporters with White House talking points, rather than clear up any so-called “confusion.” Reporters quickly said that they are “quite clear” on the White House’s positions and the facts. Perino then snidely replied, “I don’t think so.” From today’s exchange:

QUESTION: I mean, the president’s made quite clear his position on retroactive liability and so on and so forth. I mean, what specifically is the point of confusion that you might be trying to address?

PERINO: I could go back to yesterday’s transcript. … There’s confusion as to what — what are the implications and the consequences of not having the Protect America Act. <…>

QUESTION: What’s the big mystery here? Don’t we know what this is about?

PERINO: From where I stand and the questions that I get, no. I don’t think so.

Someone is clueless and it's not the reporters.

It's a good career skill to say nonsense with a straight face, I guess.

4. Clear enough for you, media bulldogs?

The White House, through Dana "Bay of Pigs" Perino, is telling you right to your face that you're a bunch of dopes. Please keep this in mind the next time you're carrying that bucket of White House water in your reportage, and consider whether it's really in your best interest to be of such dubious service to such ungrateful assholes.
