At what time of the night did Mrs. Armstrong

[Rex_Goodheart]

first call the Corpus Christi Caller-Times?

Was it Saturday or Sunday?

[Beaverhausen]

1. sunday morning

the reporter she finally gave the story to said it was 1:30 PM when she called but had been trying to reach a different reporter for a few hours earlier.

2. Sunday morning

She started trying around 9 or 9:30 and got a call back from the reporter later that day - maybe 11:00?

[Rex_Goodheart]

3. Are we sure about this?

Some Dittohead is telling me that the news made the Sunday morning edition of the Corpus Christi newspaper.

5. Wrong. eom

[Tin Man]

13. IIRC, story broke Sunday PM on CT website - n/t

edit: CT, not CC...

[Stephanie]

14. Tell him to show it to you.

[DURHAM D]

4. According to the reporter from Caller-Times Mrs.

Armstrong started trying to reach a close personal reporter friend at the paper Sunday morning at 8:00 am. When Armstrong could not reach her friend she spoke with the reporter on weekend duty - the young woman we have seen interviewed. She is a life style/health/fitness reporter. That conversation took place between 11:00 am and noon on Sunday.

6. Is there a link for that?

I want to shut this c********r up.

[Beaverhausen]

8. Let your friend prove it

he/she won't find anything in the paper for that morning.

9. Reporter was interviewed by Keith or Tweety on MSNBC - I think it was

Monday evening.

Regarding your toad-headed friend - have him produce a copy of story from the CC newspaper on Sunday. Should be interesting since he can't do it.

Even if the newspaper had been called Saturday evening after the accident it still probably would not have made the Sunday morning paper.

11. she was interviewed yesterday i think on Countdown, maybe you could check

their site.....yep, she got call a bit after 11 am....then said she called the WH, and they said the press office was closed till, monday.... and she said wait a minute, i have to confirm the VP shot someone... then they put her through to an unnamed person who confirmed it. they posted story at 1:30 PM.
she was a cute little thing, she said she had to look up the # for the whitehouse, KO said hey, this is how Bernstein started, with a tiny thing.

7. Lifestyle? Bet she asked deep, searching questions.

[Rex_Goodheart]

10. Found my answer!

The Corpus Christi Caller-Times has a timeline of the whole incident.

Mrs. Armstrong attempted to call them at 8AM.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. Right, and

The first story was posted on the paper's Web site at 1:48 p.m. CST Sunday.

It missed the morning print edition.

[bettyellen]

15. she gave up trying to find her reporter friend shortly after 11 am.

and spoke to the young woman.

16. reporter

What Armstrong really wanted to do is call her bestest friend who works at the paper, but
he wasn't there.

It would have been easier to get him to print whatever she wanted him to print.

She ended up talking to the lifestyle reporter, who seems like a lovely person, but probably
isn't going to ask all the questions a seasoned reporter would.

She did a good job though in pressing the White House.

She was on KO, Monday night.

17. i saw that, i liked the crack he made about woodward and bernstein startin

g out the same way. here's hoping.

[Beaverhausen]

18. Even that story has holes. If she is his good friend why doesn't she...

...have his home number or cell number?
