5. I find it strange that no one named names. . .

. . .I am dying to know who these guys worked for and what was the beef.

[skooooo]

7. One of them is from a major network..

....because I saw this reported on CNN I believe. I'm pretty sure I remember that they referred to one of the journalists as their own.

13. Something about a cable, I think

And "You're Crazy, You're Crazy"

...Although I'm tempted to ascribe the brawl to a debate over a flat tax or Plan B Contraception, I suspect is was more along the lines of, "you got gaffer tape all over my scrim!" "You got scrim all over my gaffer tape!"

6. Keith O. showed this last night

He didn't give the names, but said the smaller guy was upset because during the press conference the tall guy was standing in his view and wouldn't move out of his way.

14. nothing worse...

than a print media journalists standing in the way of a camera. This happens all the time.

8. The tall guy works for Murdoch's New York Post...

... or at least that's what I've seen on TV. Keith Olbermann showed this last night.

Apparently the shorter, balding guy accussed the Murdochian of purposefully blocking his camera's view of the briefing. He lunged at Murdoch Guy, and Murdoch Guy body-slammed him into some helpless empty chairs...

9. Tall guy from NY Post blocked short guy from CBS's shot (cameraman

or photographer). Short guy confronted tall guy after the press conference and pushed him so the tall guy went back after him and shoved him down, According to Keith Olberman on Countdown.

[skooooo]
