Really weird discussion about cameras in Scotty's briefing

[Cassandra]

Washington Journal on C-Span. Suggestions that reporters are mentally unstable for asking questions repeatedly.

1. If Scotty would just answer the questions, they wouldnt need to repeat

them so many times.

[Epiphany4z]

2. reporters should just

stop showing up for the briefing its such complete bull just take there copy of white house talking point and go home they would be just as uniformed as they are talking to scotty.

3. I liked the caller that said

the reporters wouldn't have such an attitude towards Snotty, if Snotty wouldn't evade answering and throwing out the attitude of his own.

4. Fortunately, most of the callers want...

the live briefings to continue. Only the kool-aid guzzlers want the press muzzled.

5. Well, it sure seems almost all the callers like the Press corps.

I've only been listening for about 5 minutes or so, but I haven't heard ANY calls against the press yet! Even the Pub callers are criticizing the WH for it's secrecy!

6. Scotty creeps me out royally. Is it just me...

...or does anyone else have that reaction to him? He acts guilty. It's in his facial expressions and voice. Frankly, I don't think they could have picked a worse White House Press Secretary.

7. His body language gives him away.

Like a pubescent boy caught wanking by his Mommy.

8. but he;s such an IMPORDANT person, dontcha know?

[maxrandb]

12. No. Not just you

He creeps me out too.

Kind of a cross between the Lovitz Saturday Night Live character and JR Ewing. Just a coniving, evil, lying, ass-pickle.

He's the epitome of what the Emerald City spokesman would have been like, had the Wizard had one.

[Justsayin]

9. They just want to shut the cameras down. eom

[Cassandra]

10. There was a lot of spin being read from...

what I think was a NYTimes article.

11. talk radio must have been discussing this lately

Everyone on the right has the same points -- that reporters only want face time, are left-wingers, etc. Rove's got the talking points out to radio, I'm sure.
