The White House feed says "Scheduled for 12:00 PM," and they usually run a few minutes late, so go to the White House Web Site, fire up the live feed, and be patient.

:toast:

[FormerOstrich]

6. but what is the audio that is playing??? The time just changed but

it sounded like it was in progress????

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. They were testing the signal or something...

...that wasn't McClellan's voice.

[emulatorloo]

8. Pushed back to 1, I guess. . . .

Do you think someone can convince Scotty to actually go in front of the press today?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Yah, he's probably in his dressing room weeping, "no, don't make me !"

[blondeatlast]

10. It could be Scottie's swan song. nt

[Oreo]

11. Is CSPAN covering?

WH feed doens't show the reporters and always has them mic'd down so you can only hear scotty

[blondeatlast]

12. Not CURRENTLY scheduled, here's C-span link:

http://www.c-span.org/

I'd much rather watch C-Span too.

[catnhatnh]

13. Kick....

[stray cat]

14. Go get him!

[Democrat 4 Ever]

15. What channel on C-Span? I can't seem to find the listing announcing

the Press Briefing on their web site.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

16. Found it - C-Span 1 @ 1 pm n/t

[kentuck]

17. Why do you think they changed the schedule ?

Getting ready for the questions??

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

21. If David Gregory's there, there WILL be Rove questions...

...so maybe Cheney sent someone out to whack Gregory.

:evilgrin:

Seriously, I'm waiting for Gregory to bring up Cheney. I suspect you'll see a puddle gather around Lil' Scotty's shoes when that happens...

:toast:

NOTE: David Gregory was not harmed during the posting of this thread. The suggestion that Vice President Dick Cheney would order the whacking of David Gregory or any other member of the White House Press Corps was intended as sarcasm, even though it COULD happen.

:evilgrin:

[Sparkly]

19. Now that they've got the new script, I wonder if he'll comment

on the "ongoing investigation."

You know the lines:

There's no evidence Rove committed a crime.
Rove was a consumer of the information, not its distributor.
Democrats are using this as a partisan issue.
This is a distraction from all the great economic news.
Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton.

[seshers]

20. Please help out fellow DUers trapped like rats in cubes

without streaming abilities.

Boo Hoo, I like news.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

22. Background chatter just started, Scotty should be poppin' up soon. n/t

[halobeam]

24. I'm only getting Washington Journal on CSPAN 1....

what are you watching?

[halobeam]

25. Nevermind.....got it.

woohoo!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

23. Look at the STAINS on the blue curtain behind the podium...

:scared:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

26. Question #1: Karl Rove.

"I think that the president was stating what is obvious: if someone commits a crime, they're not going to be working in this administration."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

27. Reminds Scotty "anyone involved," not "anyone who committed a crime"

"We've been over this before. I know what was said before."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

28. Helen THOMAS!

"It's been two years and he can't call Karl Rove and find out WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"

She might be the one to tip Scotty over...

[flvegan]

29. He seems a little, um, frustrated with her. *snort*

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

30. "A crime determined by an indictment or a conviction?"

"We've been over this. Everyone here serves at the pleasure of the president."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

31. "Is there ANY REGRET FROM THE WHITE HOUSE?"

"I've heard what you had to say and I've already answered it."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

32. More dancing around Bush's comments...

"Once the investigation is completed we can talk about it at that point."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

33. "Leaking Plame's name did not endanger her life or...

...compromise her position," according to reporter ("Les" someone).

McClellan wouldn't comment on it.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

34. Hammering McClellan's "nothing new" assertion on Bush comments

"I would say that I would not read anything more into it than what the president said. I think you should not read anything more into it at this point. You can go back and read what he said before and take it in context."

[ticapnews]

35. So a not having a criminal conviction is the qualifier..

to work in this White House?

New era of accountability? Whaa?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

36. "I would be glad to talk about it when the investigation is complete"

"The president has directed the White House to cooperate fully. The president doesn't have all the facts."

[ticapnews]

38. Not having all the facts hasn't stopped him in the past.

Scotty's gotta feel like he's trying to swim the English Channel with cement flippers.

Not that I want to give Cheney's boys any ideas...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

37. "I think I've addressed these issues."

...and on to another foreign reporter, just to cleanse the pallate.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

39. "Outsourcing jobs to India...is the president going to address this?"

"Our economy is strong and getting stronger. We've created 3.7 million new jobs."

[opihimoimoi]

41. The President is a joke.... those reporters are howling with laughter

while ordering their drinks at the nearest Bar/Lounge...They know Scotty was stonewalling and side stepping all the way...in fact, Scotty made it worse for the PUBs and Bush....He looks like a LYING CHEATIN STEALIN type of PUB...and now, he sounds like one too.

[Quakerfriend]

42. He says, 'The Congress needs to put CAFTA through in order

to level the playing field'!!

OMG, what a joke! I would just love to see one of the reporters stand up and start screaming at the top of their lungs:

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, SCOTT!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

40. somethings wrong...it is telling me "i don't have enough bandwith" BS!!!

is anyone else having trouble...or is it that they don't have they video up yet?

[seshers]

43. Is It Over?
