Here is David Gregory in a White House press briefing, March 25th, wanting, as always, for Ari Fleisher to confirm Gregory's impression/conviction that President Bush is deeply embarrassed about the course of the war.
David Gregory: "Ari, not until the President ordered war to begin and he addressed the American people last Wednesday did he prepare the public for what would be, in his words, a longer and more difficult military fight than many have predicted. Why didn't he do it sooner? And what does he believe the level of patience is of the American public? At what cost is the public prepared to pay for achieving this end?
Ari: [reads earlier presidential quotes, blowing David Gregory's silly assertion out of the water]
David Gregory: "Let me follow up on that, because given -- given your precise preparation for a question like that, it seems to me --
Ari: You're easy to read, David. (Laughter.)
David Gregory: I guess so. Well maybe that -- then maybe that means that there's some level of defensiveness, that perhaps the President is worried that the American public may be less patient than he advised them to be. Is that the case?

Someone does not know what "cack" is and you insult them? Why? Just define the word or refer them to "dictionary.com". But you prefer to be rude? I see nobody made fun of your sentence structure.
Ms. Thomas,
I watched the White House Press Briefing this morning and was intrigued by your inquiry about if the U.S. was abiding by the rules of the Geneva Convention as it regards to Guantanamo.
Since you were wondering if the U.S. treats the most vile enemies of our country humanely, I must point out the most obvious evidence: You get a front row seat at every Press Briefing.
