What I learned from Scotty's press briefing today:

[Obamarama]

1) The emphasis was on Mr. Whittington getting the medical attention he deserved.

2) You'll need to talk to the secret service about that....

3) You'll need to direct that question to the VP's office...

4) Information is still coming in about everything.

Can the STUPID FUCK answer even ONE question??? OMG....he's not answering ANYTHING. The briefing was a fucking DISASTER, LOL.

Spin, Scotty, Spin...

[Punkingal]

1. You know what I learned....

There is something rotten in Denmark with this shooting situation. Why wait 22 hours...Scotty couldn't even begin to come up with any sensible answer to that simple question.

[tridim]

2. Yep, if it was a strait story they would have announced it

last Saturday. They're covering up something, as usual.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. And why

did they go to the reporters first? :shrug:

[speedoo]

4. Why they were "fact gathering".

Didn't you know that?

Gee, they had to "fact gather" with all sorts of folks. Like Cheney, for example. You know, he's such a busy guy, defendin us from terraists. And then there's Whittington. He was in intensive care, so of course he was unavailable.

(sarcasm off)

[Jack Rabbit]

3. He was probably dilighted to talk about a hunting accident

It sure beats talking about Cheney's role in fixing intelligence to fit the policy.

[flordehinojos]

5. answer to your possible question/statement No. 5.

the STUPID FUCK is under orders not to answer, not even one single question!

[TahitiNut]

6. The INSANE part of it was that there's absolutely no conflict between ...

... getting medical attention for Whittington and informing people about the shooting! In fact, if anything, any efforts to keep it quiet would be CONTRARY to obtaining medical attention for Whittington!!

Every time Scotty scurried for cover with that incantation, I was going "WTF!?!" At best, that answer was completely and totally irrelevant!

Once upon a time, I would've regarded such an answer as insulting to the intelligence of the audience. I'm no longer sure the intellignece of the audience can be insulted.

[mtnester]

7. What I learned is that the press is starting to get riled up

seriously riled up

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

I'm wondering if this fellow is more seriously injured

than they are letting on. I heard on AAR news that Whittington's daughter said her father would not be talking to the press. I've read posts here by experienced hunters or quoting experienced hunters and they all say it was Cheney's fault. Some posts with remarks by physicians indicate that the injuries sustained may be more serious than indicated: after all, if pellets hit the fellow's neck, a vital artery could have been nicked or damaged.

8. I would have love to have seen scotty's face when he actually

learned about it. Can you imagine??

"Cheney WHAT. He SHOT A GUY??" :rofl:

No wonder why thy waited to tell any one. How on earth did they think they could spin Cheney shooting a guy? Oh that's right. Mr. Whittington was feeling suicidal. Instead of suicide by cop, it was suicide by Veep...and even with that Cheney was incompetent. :eyes:

[Der Blaue Engel]

9. When do you think they're just going to do away with the press briefings?

I fully expect them to come out one day and say that it's a terrorism risk to brief the press on anything, and the press will no longer be welcome at the White House.

11. Good thing Mr. Whittington had health insurance (n/t)
