1. Our tax dollars paid Ari Fleisher's salary and paid for the

upkeep of that building.

We, the public, should be able to get a list of who has attended those press conferences for the past years.

2. Hard to tell for sure, but it does look like him.

Nothing that would override the denials of Rove & Co., but if I had to choose on this evidence alone, I'd say yes, that's him.

5. Yes but...

Does anyone know when the video was posted on the site. The McClellan stuff may have been shot in November 2002 but it could have been edited and placed online later.

I went back through the C-Span archives and the earliest I found was 2-25-03

6. West Wing 100th Anniversary video

The description by "ElGringo," who posted the images on the "PR Watch" forum, says this:

"According to the White House website, this video is part of an exclusive presentation to celebrate the West Wing 100th Anniversary and, according to the State Department, was presented on November 13th, 2002." ~ El Gringo

The images are from the "West Wing 100th Anniversary" video series. If the video was "presented" November 13, that would place Gannon at the White House in 2002.
