Anyone watching Scotty's press briefing?

[Cocoa]

white house website says scheduled for 12:45, anyone watching?

I'm especially interested in Armstrong Williams-related questions...

Edit: also interested in El-Salvadorization questions...

1. My sarcasm meter is going off...

n/t

2. How can you watch those things?

I watched/listened for about three months last spring, and all I got out of it was frustration. Scott never does anything other than bluster, obfuscate and lie. Ari was worse, but I still can't take Scott.

Four more years of this crew - this is gonna suck. :(

I would add Scotty is "permitted" to do these things

by the lazy stenographers we like to call our White House Correspondents. Helen Thomas was the last to ask any real probing questions and follow up questions...that is until she was banished to the back of the room.

3. I miss Ari.

I used to watch his press conferences for entertainment value. Scotty is just annoying. :hurts:

5. Ari could bullshit you straight to your face and make you

think you got an answer when in fact he said nothing. He was talented and good at carefully chosing and parsing his words on the fly. I agree Scotty is annoying.

6. I always expected Ari to suddenly sprout devil horns

.
& start speaking in one of those deep 'possessed by Satan' voices, but surprisingly it never happened.

It always seemed on the verge of happening, as far as I was concerned!

7. Nice visual!

I'll never be able to look at him again without thinking of that!

4. how about a play by play for those of us unable to watch?

thanks!!!
