i'm watching the cspan video of bush's press conference and i'm f*cking amazed that RIGHT AFTER he takes TWO questions on Armstrong Williams and White House pay-for-ink controversy, that's when he decides to call on Gannon, with his famous "divorced from reality" question. he calls on him right after his bizarre statement about "trusting them to be objective," adding "Won't you?"

that's just an aside. i have a question.

who is this other cur who suggested criticism of the Iraqi War was tantamount to undermining the troops?

He calls on him right after Gannon's question it's at 39:01 on the video. here's his "question."

"Senator Ted Kennedy has recently refuted his characterization of Iraq as a, quote, quagmire, as in Vietnam and the questioning of Alberto Gonzales and Condi Rice in th Senate has largely been used by Democrats in the Senate to criticize your entire Iraq program, especially what you are trying to do "post war," I wonder if you have any response to those criticisms and what kind of effect do you think these statements have on the morale of our troops and ot the confidence of the Iraqi people..."

3. thanks for this -- i'm prepping an article on the whole mess --

but the frat boy sitting next to Gannon really caught my attention the first time around and more so the more i watch the video. part of my problem with him is his sycophantic question -- but i just can't get over his CREEPINESS.

6. notice the time on these questions. gannon is called on at 38 mins

and the other cur is called on at 39 and that leaves just a few more minutes before he wraps up. he is using these PLANTS to COAST thru the end of his appearance.

how freaking LAME! it's grade school level laziness.

8. ALSO -- sorry to be so full of questions -- yesterday there was a thread

about HOW people used to be "picked" for the press corps. that is used to be a function of the press and now it's at the pleasure of the white house ??? does this ring a bell? did i dream this?
