JJ: Much has been made about your frequent visits to the White House and the lack of oversight. Why so much freedom, and what were you doing with yourself?
JG: That’s all just nonsense. Believe it or not, the Secret Service does shoddy record-keeping when it comes to reporters’ comings and goings. There was never anything improper between me and anyone at the White House. As far as being there when there wasn’t a briefing, there were other events that I covered, like a speech to a group like recipients of faith-based initiative funding or the unveiling of the Clinton portraits. Sometimes I went there to get background information for a story I was working on. I worked there!

JJ: Who were some of your White House journalist buds?
JG: Actually, Helen Thomas and I always got along well. I still see her from time to time. Even though we have vastly different points of view, we have great respect for each other.
