Lets help get a Freeper a White House Press Pass
Edited on Sat Feb-12-05 01:06 PM by BOSSHOG
I mentioned in a previous thread it would be a great idea to give one a press pass (no clearance needed after all), give him/her a front row seat and a big freeper nametag around their neck. Scotty and rove could brief them prior to each press conference to ensure the right question(s) were asked at the right time. They could display their incredible journalistic integrity. And with a little gannon tie in, I'm sure many of them are vastly trained in journalism and the use of the English Language; why we might even find one who's selling his ass on the internet.

On second thought, why not all journalists just not show up at scotty's little productions.

1. This has been FR White House Correspondent, Mike Moran
FR Reporter: "Mr President, This is Mike Moran, from the Free Republic, Do you feel that the sedition spread by sites such as Democratic Undergound should be tolerated? What price must be paid by peaceloving americans who must endure this violation of our most sacred traditions? What steps has the white house taken to secure the internet from these terrorist groups and assure freedoms for peace loving americans, such as meself? "

BUSH: "Thank you for that question, you cute 'lil cuss. Hey did I see you at Karl Rove's weenie roast last June? Uhh. um.
(Waits for propmter in his ear to shut up)

<begin clip of bush delivering speech>

This requires a new strategic framework that moves beyond Cold War doctrines and addresses the threats of a new century such as cyber-terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, missiles in the hands of those for whom terror and blackmail are a very way of life. These threats have the potential to destabilize freedom and progress and we will not permit it.

Prosperity depends on a stable and peaceful world. Global prosperity also depends on the world's economic powers keeping our economic houses in order. We all must pursue pro-growth policies that encourage greater productivity, reduce tax burdens while maintaining fiscal responsible and stable prices.

Our second goal is to ignite a new era of global economic growth through a world trading system that is dramatically more open and more free. One of the most important objectives of my meetings with other G-7 leaders in Italy will be to secure their strong endorsement for a launch of a new round of global trade negotiations later this year.

And at home, one of my most important legislative priorities will be to secure from Congress trade promotion authority that five other presidents have had, an authority necessary so that when our United States enters into agreement, the countries with whom we've agreed to will understand we mean business.

It's time for Congress to act. Free trade applies the power markets to the needs of the poor. We know that nations that open their economies to the benefits of trade are more successful in climbing out of poverty. We know that giving developing countries greater access to world markets can quickly and dramatically raise investment levels and incomes. We also know that free trade encourages the habits of liberty that sustain freedom over the long haul. That is why I applaud the World Bank's leadership in helping countries build the institutions and expertise they need to benefit from trade.
