[seshers]

1. Cube rat needs play by play

Thank you

[Fridays Child]

10. Hmm...hasn't started yet.

...

[Fridays Child]

Here he goes...

[Ian David]

90. FOX "news" just cut away for an alert

Alert: Shuttle Crew boards craft

[Jersey Devil]

Yay!!! More Rove questions

SHould he take a leave of absence?

[MissB]

2. Is it running late?

C-span isn't carrying it yet, and the link you provided says 12:30. I assumed it was Eastern Standard Time, no?

[Goldmund]

5. Yes -- he's late

Valium sometimes takes a while to kick in.

[dogday]

6. Scotty does not want to come our of his office

can't take another roasting....

[cynatnite]

3. make mine well done with the works ;)

:smoke:

[Moochy]

4. nothing yet on cpsan or whitehouse.gov (12:40)

whitehouse.gov site still showing 12:30, so they must be rehearsing his "ongoing investigation" line.

[MissB]

7. Yeah, they're probably trying to work that word "criminal"

out of the "ongoing investigation" phrase. Scotty slipped up a few times yesterday.

[Moochy]

21. VIDEO VEED ON! 12:43 (whitehouse.gov)

No empty suits on screen yet

[Moochy]

30. Talking about Bush's cabinet meeting : budget stuff

Scott: cabinet meeting updates, budget deficit to be cut in half by 2009.
tax cuts are helping the deficit?? lol
3.7 m jobs over 25 months..
growth fueled by tax cuts blah blah.

[maddezmom]

18. wonder if it'll be cancelled

:shrug:

[Kade]

8. ACK!!...Bandwidth issues....keep me posted!

[jokerman93]

9. I like mine bloody

Give it to me rare with plenty of Jim Beam Kentucky Bourbon Barbeque Sauce!

[drm604]

11. Do you have a full link?

Where is it on whitehouse.gov?

[drm604]

19. Never mind I found it.

It wasn't there earlier, had to refresh the page to see it.

[TayTay]

12. Ladies and Gentlemen

Put your hands together for the comic stylings of Sotty "Puffy McMoonface" McClellan!

Scotty will be appearing daily at a White House near you. (Be sure and tip your waitresses.)

[Flying Dream Blues]

13. Scotty: I WON'T go out there! You can't make me!!! nt

[Flying Dream Blues]

98. I wonder how much the

cuts in VA benefits are helping the deficit reduction?

[Kade]

14. Question....

Do you think we'll see the dynamic duo of David & David go to town on Scotty for a third day?? What about Helen?? She seemed like she was just getting warmed up yesterday....

-Kade

[Beelzebud]

15. Simple Scotty is probably just putting on a fresh pair of Depends.

[helderheid]

16. ON!!

[leveymg]

17. Scotty - you know what they say about delaying unpleasant things

You can pay the piper now, or pay him double later. But, pay you must!

12:47 EDT - No Scotty to be seen. Here he is.

[leveymg]

93. Self-delete

[MissB]

Sound just popped on

heard some laughter of the press corps.

[senseandsensibility]

26. Yesterday it was on the teevee

live on c-span 2. Not today?

[MissB]

32. I'm not seeing it on C-span yet.

I have all sorts of windows open on my computer, but nothing on Cspan or Cspan 2 yet.

[merwin]

20. Here we go, it's live

[ewagner]

22. 11:43 empty podium still? n/t

[maddezmom]

23. on now

:D

[tishaLA]

24. Here we go!

[maddezmom]

27. rah rah tax cuts...great meeting this am

[Kade]

28. LETS GET READY TO RUUUUMMMMBLE!!!! eom.

[Goldmund]

25. Scotty's up

President had a meeting this morning... Deficit is low... blablabla... tax cuts working...

[garybeck]

29. why did WH press corps suddenly grow a spine?

why is this happening all of the sudden? it's not like there haven't been issues before, on which they could have asked questions.

RNC talking points aren't anything new. now all of the sudden there's an ABC correspondent reading them off to McLellan, asking where they came from?

does the press corps have an issue with Rove?

or is there something else going on?

[helderheid]

35. one of their own is in jail

[wicket]

37. they protect their own

I think they are doing this out of anger over one of their own (Judith Miller) being thrown in jail over this all.

[libertypirate]

If someone controlled your ability to do your job properly wouldn't

you fuck them as they have fuck you once they were wearing the dress?

My second though is how many WH reporters work or have work for the CIA?

[Beelzebud]

31. LOL C-Span 1 and 2 is NOT covering it..

WTF?

[Moochy]

34. total CSPAN lockout

NOR CSPAN 3

[MissB]

36. Maybe they're waiting for the question/answer period.

[maddezmom]

38. go here

http://www.whitehouse.gov/#

[Goldmund]

51. First question -- ROVE -- why didn't Bush give a "warm endorsement"?

Scotty: "every person who works in the WH has the confidence."

Reporter: "president doesn't need to be asked a question to express a sentiment"

LAUGHTER

[Fridays Child]

33. Yada, yada, yada...

[dogday]

44. Karl Rove Question-I am surprised n/t

[ewagner]

48. Typical

[Innoma]

39. After 2 days of intense grilling...

...why do I have the sinking feeling that today they'll pull something repulsive out of their hat?

I really hope the reporters keep the heat on...

[Kade]

40. C'mon Scotty....the cube rats crave blood....

[donco6]

41. Talking about increased tax revenues . . .

. . . lower unemployment rates, blah blah, education campaign outreach to seniors on prescription drug benefit.

Questions now!

[maddezmom]

42. Glad to go to Questions

:D

[MissB]

43. Here are the question/answers

[Fridays Child]

45. First Q - re: Karl...

Karl has confidence of prez.

[maddezmom]

46. no one asked * about his support for Rove before?

yeah right

[helderheid]

47. oh my GOD they are NAILING him!

[Kade]

59. Let the games begin....BURN BABY BURN!!! eom.

[donco6]

49. Press already laughing at Scotty.

Lamoid answers.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

50. Haha..first question out the gate...Rove

[TayTay]

Nice question

"Is it appropriate for a senior official to speak about a person in any way, shape or form, without finding out if that person was or was not a covert operator?'

Good question. Puffy: Ahm, can't say and I've been talking about this days.

[MissB]

52. There was a reporter openly chuckling

when another reporter said that the President has never felt constrained to stay on topic while answering a question.

[Catherine Vincent]

53. That website doesn't work for me and cspan isn't airing it live.

I'll have to miss that butt whipping.

[Fridays Child]

54. Scolding Scott: Sleazy defense. You are parsing words.

[Fridays Child]

72. Spit roasting the Scotty bird.

:woohoo:

[dogday]

55. Parsing words Scottie n/t

[City Lights]

David Gregory: "You're parsing words."

[MissB]

56. Oh my fucking god.

That's David Gregory, isn't it?

Hammering. Saying no other press secretary would've gotten away with the type of answers Scottie is giving.

[senseandsensibility]

88. If David Gregory keeps this up

he won't be able to keep his nickname "stretch". Chimp will take it away.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

57. Legalistic and sleazy...wooohooooo

[helderheid]

58. NAILING that if this had been a DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION

this would be another story! FUCK YEA!

[senseandsensibility]

105. He said that?

Did he actually say if it had been a DEM administration?

[helderheid]

116. he said previous administrations if I heard right

said the Republicans would have been going nuts (not exact words but did say Republicans)

[MissB]

137. That's what I heard.

I don't recall him saying Dems specifically, but he said Repubs specifically.

[maddezmom]

60. sleazy defense to say everyone who works at the WH has the support of *

David Gregory

[donco6]

61. "Scott, you are parsing words with us here. eom"

[Ian David]

62. LEGALISTIC AND SLEAZY DEFENSE!!!! OMFG!!!!!

Wow!!

Since when did America discover a free press!!!!


OMFG!!!!

[maddezmom]

65. BRAVO!!

[myrna minx]

Damn!!!!!! n/t

[Cobalt Violet]

I guess one of their own going to jail has gotten them out of their stupor

[Norquist Nemesis]

63. Ohhh!!!! David Gregory should get a medal!!!

BAM BAM BAM BAM!!!!

[Beelzebud]

73. Simple Scotty would not say it's wrong to discuss CIA operatives.

What a slime-ball.

[seabeyond]

103. i think gregory got pissed last night on hardball

when tucker started acting like gregory was liberal media there to attack him unfairly and play game, while gregory is saying bullshit, i am reporting, doing my job. think he got pissed

[dogday]

64. Rove should of checked Plame's cover first

good point

[Goldmund]

66. "Even if Rove was trying to debunk bogus info,

should he have not avoided outing a CIA agent?"

Scotty not answering

The reporter not letting up

[Goldmund]

75. "Any other topics?"

Reporter: "Yes, Rove"

[MissB]

67. Gregory is not letting up.

Absolutely not letting up.

[dogday]

68. He is asking a hypothetical question Scottie n/t

[Moochy]

69. They are NAILING him

Scotty: we have exhausted this issue:

Q: We havent even started...

[MissB]

76. Yes, indeed!

:bounce:

[tishaLA]

70. David Gregory is DAMN good

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

78. They all are today...they won't let up

It's gonna be ALL ROVE-ALL THE TIME

[tishaLA]

81. Now he's flatly refusing to hear the questions Re: Rove

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

71. Is it appropriate for a senior official to speak about a covert agent

in any way, shape or form?

[Catherine Vincent]

74. My offer is still on to have David Gregory's baby.....

I need an email.:evilgrin:

[Kade]

84. *ROFL* Well said......eom.

[City Lights]

101. Good luck:

[e-mail]

Let us know how it works out. :evilgrin:

[Catherine Vincent]

155. I just sent my email.

The subject line read: I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABY! But I basically thanked him for asking tough questions of Scotty and to keep up the good work.

Snicker!


p.s. Thanks for the email.:-)

[City Lights]

221. Love your subject line!

:hi:

I sent him a note of thanks on Monday.

[Catherine Vincent]

231. Thanks. I was hoping it would get his attention.

I'll let you guys know if he responds.

[AmBlue]

229. Here's my letter:

Thank you, for not letting up on Scott McClellan today and giving us hope that we still do have a free press. It is so critical that you and others in the press continue to ask the hard questions and keep this administration's feet to the fire. THERE'S A TRAITOR IN OUR MIDST AND THEY ARE STILL OPERATING WITH THE FULL BLESSING OF OUR PRESIDENT.

Today, David Gregory, YOU ROCKED!!!!

My deepest regards,

[City Lights]

230. Fantastic!

Glad you took the time to drop him a note of appreciation. :thumbsup:

[watercolors]

150. Gregory and wife just had twins

a boy and girl, he talked about on Imus yesterday. That is three children, don't think he'll go for it!

[Mandate My Ass]

77. Who just asked him about the "sleazy rationalization"

for the leak?

That was great! Also grilled him on whether a senior adm offical should be sure someone is not covert before discussing them with anyone.

[Obamarama]

79. SCOTTY: "I think we have exhausted this topic"

David Gregory: "We haven't EVEN"

This is getting GOOD!

[donco6]

80. Isn't even addressing any question about Rove at all.

[dogday]

82. Scottie doing the Cover My Ass Dance

and he is dancing as fast as he can.... You go Scottie!!!

[Goldmund]

83. "I wasn't here yesterday, refresh my memory"

Scotty: "It's available online"

:rofl:

[maddezmom]

96. what an ass

[donco6]

The press should just walk out in protest.

This is an embarrassment.

[helderheid]

89. not a bad idea

What do you bet they all got together to decide what they were going to ask ahead of time? :)

[donco6]

They might have, but they didn't need to

They're just asking very logical questions and Scotty is simply refusing to even entertain them at all.

[Kade]

95. Or....

I liked the sentiment expressed yesterday that some (or all) of the presscorps should just start spitting at McCellen....nows THATS good journalism!!

-Kade

[rucky]

217. no way, this is much better n/t

[txindy]

224. And let the admin. off the hook? No way.

They have to keep doing this every single day and NEVER let up.

[dogday]

85. You are attacking a family

I love it.....

[Norquist Nemesis]

91. and still...won't comment

doesn't change what I just said.

Can you say COVERUP!?!?

[msongs]

86. Scott, are you GAY? Is ken mehlman gay? Is bush a closet Gay?

since the repubs demonize gays, the public has a right to know.

Msongs
www.msongs.com

[Moochy]

87. Wilson question

Q: is there any regret about the effects of the leak on this family

A: blah blah

Q: no no no, the effects on THIS FAMILY. talk about this.

A: ongoing investigation.

Q: this is not about the investigation this is about the personal buisnes of this family, tax paying, american family.
someone in executive branch let this family down.

is there any regret?

a: doesnt change what i just said.

[Mandate My Ass]

94. That was priceless

Puts an "anti-family values" spin on the sleazy outing of Plame. I love it!!

[Bumblebee]

114. was that April?

too bad one cannot see reporters in that video...

[Moochy]

131. I think so

I'm pretty sure it was, she asked some good ones yesterday too.

[Mandate My Ass]

141. think so...

Welcome to DU. It's a great day to be here.:-)

[dogday]

102. A Family That Served The Government

both parents worked for the Government for many years, both having distinguished careers...

[Fridays Child]

104. Regrets? Oh, hell, this admin cannot even define the word.

[tishaLA]

92. This Indian (?) reporter has become his release valve

The new JimmyJeff who doesn't ask uncomfortable questions

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

97. but he isn't answering his questions either!

too funny

[donco6]

108. Even the Indian guy is pressing follow up questions.

And not getting any answers.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

99. When under the vise call on a foreign correspondent........

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

109. take the fight to the enemy spread democracy blah blah blah blah

why don't the reporters hold Scottie's feet to the fire about this???

[Norquist Nemesis]

107. Take the fight to the terrorists

(he's having a hard time with all of the spin on that one)

Yes, Scottie. They're here too!

[Kade]

110. Nah......

He just puts into context how badly the US presscorps is reaming Scotty. Makes the Davids look good. :)

-Kade

[Ian David]

136. How the hell did they let him get back on-message with War on Terrah?

And now Social Security?

[burythehatchet]

223. As an Indian, I am ashamed of that turd

They must have had to scrape the bottom the curry barrel.

[Jose Diablo]

228. You do not need to feel ashamed, however

If you feel you need absolution, seeing how you may have more weight with the Indian press, why don't you fire a letter off to those that stand above this guy. Ask them to contact their correspondent and remind him that he is a visitor in our land and we here in America have some 'unfinished business' with Karl and the correspondent is hindering our fondest hopes of dealing with Karl properly in a manner suitable to his crime.

Justice is like a wheel that grinds the lawless into powder. Surely the correspondent wouldn't want to interfere with the wheel of justice?

[burythehatchet]

232. Jose that had not even occurred to me

andf I think its a brilliant idea. Who knows, maybe we can come up with another Talon News

[leveymg]

100. No, the Indian guy - change the subject

to terra. Betya he calls another foreign correspondent.

[Moochy]

106. Mr Mukherjee thanks for allowing me to

stall stall stall stall

[helderheid]

111. fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here at home

... so we're fighting them in Iraq...and....london...

[Moochy]

112. whitehouse.gov feed is fixed camera angle :(

Damn. cspan's feed has names of reporters. grrr

[mod mom]

113. this is a bbq even us vegetarians can enjoy! It's like rock'em sock 'em

robots! bam! bam! bam!

[EarlG]

115. I think he could do with some of this

[Goldmund]

118. .

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[City Lights]

121. ROFL! eom

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

134. and a few of these

[Fridays Child]

148. A pallet of that stuff might be enough to clean up after him.

[TeeYiYi]

210. And this for tomorrow . . .

. . . because they're turnin' up the heat! Poor Scotty.



TYY

[leveymg]

222. Earl - You gotta share that picture with the rest of DU out there!

:evilgrin:

[katinmn]

225. LOL. I should have been on this thread for the press conference

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

117. Who is asking that question about Islam?

[Occulus]

126. "these are people who have sought to hijack their religion"

GREAT subtle phrasing there, Scotty. Keep it up.

:woohoo: :sarcasm:

[msongs]

165. just like some republicans are hijacking THEIR religion n/t

[dogday]

119. Did he just say Terrorist

are men women and children?

[gkhouston]

really?

and all this time I thought terrorist were demented beagles or something...

[wolframtarant]

133. Indirectly, yeah..

said they "kill innocent men, women, and children which are just the type of people terrorists are." :7

[livvy]

120. Interesting...

The past two days they have shown the reporters as they asked their questions. They aren't doing that today.

[Norquist Nemesis]

122. Is he a robot they push buttons to speak phrases?

He's the stiffest PR guy I've ever seen.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

He IS a robot...Here is one of his buttons..

"The President saw the attacks of September 11th and said we are going to take the fight to the enemy. We are going to wage a comprehensive war, and we are going to see it through. The enemy will be defeated. And the way we will ultimately defeat the enemy is to defeat their hateful ideology. And you do that by spreading freedom because free societies are peaceful societies, as the President said."

What???

[Norquist Nemesis]

209. LOL! Good one!

and welcome! :hi:

[Kade]

123. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall....

....at the presscorps pep rally!! You think they synchronized their watches and passed out battle plans??? I bet Helen brought muffins so that everyone was at full energy!!

-Kade

[donco6]

124. "Is there something wrong with Islam itself?"

What does the president think?

"London grim reminder that we are at war with terrorism. Terrorists hijacking religion, espousing hateful ideology,

Ideology seems to be a talking point word today.

[jokerman93]

213. Puleeeeze! Terrorism is now a full blown ideology?

Who is that stupid? Is it the administration or the people buying their bullshit - or both?

Hey! I'm kinda tired of being a pasty white cristian conehead! How do I convert to terrorism? Is there a book I can read? A four color brochure? What are the basic precepts of Terrorism?

Last time I checked (when I was on a CT team in the U.S. military) "Terrorism" was a para-military tactic - not a belief system. Terrorism is a strategy that uses random acts of violence to leverage political power.

God! We are SOOOO far down the rabbit hole that the bullshit we hear now is based on different bullshit we believed before, which was based on earlier bullshit we swallowed when we gave up critical thinking as a traditional American value.

:-)

The entire discourse at this point is utterly and irrevocably fractured and mind-numbing!

One must needs consume copious amounts of mind altering substances just to imagine any of this bullshit "war on terra" makes even the slightest sense...

[Fridays Child]

125. Doesn't C-Span always carry the press briefings?

[wideopen]

135. I thought so too n/t

[The empressof all]

149. If the House and Senate are in session

They have first priority on C-Span 1 & 2. I don't get 3 so I don't know how that is prioritized. I would bet however that this will be shown on C-Span sometime later today. I haven't checked their web-site yet but that's what they unusually do.

[ralps]

233. C-span says today's briefing will be on at 6:04 eastern time on c-span 1

and at 5:40 eastern time on c-span 2
:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

127. Talking about hateful ideology

You'd think he just summed up the entire Bush admin

[insane_cratic_gal]

No regard for human life

Terrorist kill innocent women and children. HEEEEELLLLLLO what have we been doing in Iraq you freakin moron

[Moochy]

128. talking points blah blah

united terrist defeat spreading ideology blah blah..


Someone needs to make some Bush Admin talking points fridge magnets.

[leveymg]

129. Red-herring Q. Muslim=terra. Makes Scotty look non-bigoted

in his response about Arab leaders speaking out against attacks.

[tishaLA]

130. Puffy McMoonface is a bore

Give him some Rove questions dammit!

[Fridays Child]

132. Pic of B*sh spreading freedom...

[Fridays Child]

138. Scott, could you explain the tenets of Islam to us?

:eyes:

[donco6]

139. Is the president backing off on Social Security?

No, SS reform is important, blah blah

[donco6]

147. What would the US resp be on a nuclear attack in the US?

"one of our top concerns is prolif of WMD, which is why we will defeat the hateful ideology of terrorists.

Nothing specific.

[Straight Shooter]

227. His response makes no sense in light of the outing of Plame.

If proliferation is a top concern, they should be going after those who outed Plame with guns blazing.

Lame. Very lame.

[dogday]

151. If it looks like a private account and acts like a private account

it is most probably a private account... No change different name, same old plan....

[Janice325]

140. WOW!

I was able to see snippets twice, before I got IE error messages and Enternet Explorer shut down (twice). I did hear a snippet of David Gregory..sounded like he was really tearing Scottie a new a**hole.
I hope we can access the video later. I'd like to see if McLellan is sweating bullets and evading answering the questions.
Ya'll's reports are sooo appreciated.
God bless the internet!!

[Moochy]

142. Social security, two weeks since bush talked about it in a speech

richard q: social security question, bush hasnt talked about it in 2 weeks? what gives?

a: long term challenges, address entitlements, push reforms in ss, so seniors vote for repbus,

q: follup (unintelligble)

a: its important to act this year 600 billion, its important to act

[Bumblebee]

160. The COX nut

asking about a pending nuclear attack on the US and Scottie going on, and on, and on -- then the Washington Times editorial cartoon, WH correspondents as sharks... ha-ha-ha, everyone having a "good-natured" laugh, Scottie sharing in it with his chuckles. Hope it does go back to Rove.

[Mandate My Ass]

143. Impordunt!

God that makes my last nerve ending twang when he says that and he says it all the time.

[maddezmom]

163. mine too...wonder how many times he's said today

:argh:

[Mandate My Ass]

198. too many

it's making my brain go all nookyuler. :nuke:

[GiovanniC]

212. MY NUMBER 2 PET PEEVE ABOUT SCOTTY

My number 1 pet peeve is that he never answers a question.

It's very impordend for a press secretary to answer impordend questions from the press.

[Beelzebud]

144. What is with this guy?

Every day he asks a totally irrelevant nonsense question.

Is this JeffJamesGannonGuckert's grandpa?

[Goldmund]

145. "In the event of nuclear Terror, what would the US response be?"

Scotty: "Don't wanna speculate, but one of our top concerns are WMDs blablabla"

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

146. Kinsolver asking about nuclear terror..good time for a Rove Plame followup

come on press corps

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

152. Protecting the American people (but we just compromised intel)

[leveymg]

162. Kinsolver? Sounded like Plant. Ooops.

Apologies to Plant.

[leveymg]

153. Bill Plant - nuke terra threat

Plant, your name is perfect for this role.

[enigmatic]

154. unbelieveable

I swear to god, this is giving me flashbacks to late 1973 when I was 10 years old and watching the evening news and seeing Ron Zeigler tap-dance at every briefing..

[Goldmund]

178. Scotty McZeigler

:rofl:

[enigmatic]

208. Yes!!

:rofl:

[dogday]

156. Someone bit me on the ASS n/t

[Moochy]

157. Les Kinsolver

Les Kinsolver, Jim Jones enemy in the jonestown massacre. (google him)

Q: NUCLEAR TERRORISM? inevitable attack on US soil.

A: We gonna defeat the hateful ideology?

q followup:

washington moonie times: cartoon compared WH correspondents to sharks? were they wrong to make that comparison?

a: a little flesh taken out of me, but it may not look like it..


chuckle chuckle

[Norquist Nemesis]

158. "Every day we are worried about the proliferation of WMD

getting into the hands of terrorists"

Yeah, sure. Just like blowing the cover of a covert CIA operative involved in WMD? Hmmm????

[NancyG]

159. Will CSPAN have rerun if it never ran there to begin with?

whitehouse.org link wouldn't work for me.

Has CSPAN ever had links to press conferences that they didn't originally run?

My husband and I gathered by the tv and were disappointed.

[Jersey Devil]

161. It appears that the shills have taken over, the Gannon type plants

They've fixed it so the rest of the briefing is Rove free I think.

[Beelzebud]

166. Yep, this is turning into a propaganda snore-fest.

[Moochy]

164. They have no regard for innocent human life

Project much scotty?

[Fridays Child]

167. Scott, what should parents tell their children about the Rove scandal?

[drm604]

168. Am I the only one who can't hear the questions?

The volume for the reporters is way too low.

[Norquist Nemesis]

173. Don't worry

Every time he says "on-going investigation, no comment" it's a question about Rove and blowing the cover of a CIA operative.

[maddezmom]

169. Has Karl like Rummy offered his resignation?

[maddezmom]

175. no further comments...* has expressed his confidence in Rove

[helderheid]

170. back to Karl!

[Janice325]

171. More details, please

Is widdle Scottie swaeating bullets? Is he pale, looking like he's gonna pass out? (Maybe he'll think of resigning due to "health" or "family" problems after this press conference).
How is he withstanding the heat?
Is he stammering or stuttering? Is he telling all the reporters how "well" they know him?
Inquiring minds want to know.

[WLKjr]

Extra cheese w/lettuce/tomatoe/onion DONE

I wonder what he will have to say today?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

172. Has Rove offered his resignation?

[helderheid]

[dogday]

180. Cowards way of talking.... n/t

[Moochy]

179. Karl Rove friend of Bush? (april ?)

a: creative way to get at the same question

q: it is, but I want an answer.

[Norquist Nemesis]

181. Hold it!!! How did he know the subject of a question???

"David, did you have a question about Iran?"

WTF?????

[helderheid]

184. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Fridays Child]

182. Scott, what is Karl Rove's position on Iran?

:bounce:

[mopaul]

183. on any rove queries it's basically 'fuck you, don't even ask'

[Jersey Devil]

185. "I have a non-Rove question" - who the hell is this guy?

asked about SCOTUS

[leveymg]

186. What is US Attack Iran policy?

Scotty makes threatening murmurs about it.

[dogday]

Oh No not the Sodomy Case

Scottie can't handle that one...

[Moochy]

190. not with a 12" pole

hehe

[The Witch]

202. OUCH! n/t

[dogday]

195. Did you hear the reporter at the end shout

KARL ROVE

[Moochy]

187. LES: Non ROVE QUESTION

fucking stooge

Q: who is the model appointee?

Q: lawrence v texas, the sodomy case...
does BUSH DISAGREE WITH IT??

[The Witch]

188. "You're bringing it up in the context of the nomination process."

Questions without any context, please.

[helderheid]

191. LMAO

[maddezmom]

194. now on the Space Shuttle and honoring committment and dedication

to Space Exploration...No more comments

[Fridays Child]

189. Will Karl Rove watch the shuttle launch?

[The Witch]

192. Can we launch him on the shuttle?

love to see his fat arse floating in space

[Fridays Child]

200. Someone yelled out "Karl Rove!" as Scotty was walking away.

[Beelzebud]

193. Can't go to Mars with no funds.

It's joke to pretend Bush wants us to go Mars.

That is just a ploy to make him appear as a visionary.

He suggests going, but will not fund NASA.

We dont' have enough money to keep Hubble going, but somehow we are going to Mars? Yea right.

I'd love it if it were true, but Bush won't fund this.

[helderheid]

196. they ended it with reporters yelling out "KARL ROVE!!"

[Innoma]

203. I heard that...

I hope they can keep that up, too!

[Goldmund]

197. "Thank you" -- Scotty walks away. Reporter shouts: "KARL ROVE!"

:rofl:

[Norquist Nemesis]

201. That was classic!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Moochy]

199. Done & Done

Last two words from the press gaggle,

"Karl Rove Karl Rove"

I kid you not.

[dogday]

205. Add the laughter n/t

[Occulus]

204. Gaggle is over, and

the very last thing heard on the webcast was one reporter calling out "Karl Rove!" as Scotty walked away...

:D

[Fridays Child]

206. Scott has the president offered Karl Rove his resignation?

[leveymg]

207. Heroes and Zeros - your nominations please

After a couple days, the press corps have sorted themselves out. Anyone want to give us your lists of favorite/worst questions?

[maddezmom]

211. April, Terry and David top my list

Les is the biggest Zero in the pack

[Bumblebee]

216. Les and much less

than zero.

[Bumblebee]

219. meant to say Les IS Much Less

than zero... :)

[Moochy]

218. He did bring up the WH press corps as Sharks cartoon.

But what was his question about the Sodomy case all about?

Sure he's a distraction to the Karl rove front burner, but was he going to the sodomy issue to try and get Bush to have a stronger anti-sodomy stance?

Wasnt sure what his Washington moonie times quoting ass was talking about.. but I guess thats the point.

He DID mention the shark issue.. lol took a bite out of scotty.

[Bumblebee]

220. He is just a total nut and loose cannon

so now and then he poses some kind of a danger to Scottie, without necessarily intending it. The guy is, I suspect, clinically insane.

[Ian David]

215. It takes one of THEM going to jail for them to give a shit???

Give me a break!

It will take a lot more than this for me to ever respect any of those assholes again.

I say give Daily Kos, Alternet, Air America Radio, and The Daily Show hard-passes and clear the useless husks from the briefing room.

[Jose Diablo]

214. It looks like Scotty is depending on these 'foreign' correspondents

to stear the meeting back to a confort zone.

Somebody needs to send letters to these correspondents 'home office' to tell them they better tell their lackeys to sit-down and STFU.

Edit: This is a 'domestic' problem and they are interfering with democracy at work.

[katinmn]

226. They may have been assigned those questions

The one about fighting terrorism was actually quite good I thought.

Got Scotty to repeat: "we gotta fight 'em overseas so we don't have to fight 'em at home" again.

Dumb shit. Whenever they say that we need to call them on it.

Don't forget Britain!
