Scott McClellan annoyed by a VERY GOOD QUESTION |
|
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/01/20050111-8.html
<snip>
Q Is the White House or the President aware of the fact that Allawi's political party is paying journalists over there?
MR. McCLELLAN: I'm sorry?
Q Paying journalists?
MR. McCLELLAN: I saw a report on that, but I haven't seen any response from Prime Minister Allawi, so I'd like to hear more about the other side of that and whether or not that is an accurate account.
Q It says on the front page of the Financial --
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, Russell, I just said, I read the report, and I'd like to hear more from Prime Minister Allawi and see what they say in response to that. I like to check my sources before I comment on it.
Q If I could follow up, Scott, he was handing --
MR. McCLELLAN: No, you can't. Go ahead, Greg. I'll come back to you later.

Nothing to see here. I know nothing! Nothing!
Keep at them journalists. You're going to have to do a little work for a change, but it seems like you want to help out the cause a little, so go for it. Godspeed.

"Is the White House or the President aware of the fact that Allawi's political party is paying journalists over there?"
Apparently...we ARE making them more and more American like everday.
Heh...I wonder if they could use that as their official meme on this? Kill two FRIGHTENING PROPAGANDA/PAYOLA stories with one stone.
