Terry Moran, ABC News: "Ari, on the U.N. resolution, a second U.N. resolution, one of the forces that's at work, it seems, is increasing rancor and nastiness within the Western alliance. You've got newspapers here showing France and Germany as weasels at the Security Council, people calling France ‘surrender monkeys.’ Then you've got a lot of anti-Americanism on the streets over in France."

Ari Fleischer, White House Press Secretary: "Are you asking me if I can be responsible for the American press?"

[Mr. Mulliner]

That is a priceless response by Ari.

You can tell he's had it with the press corps, can't you? The other day ABC (maybe Terry Moran) asked him something about whether they could protect soldiers from what Saddam might do with chemical or biological weapons with his back to the wall. Ari said, "Is ABC now acknowledging that Saddam has those weapons?"

GRRR. I have been on a thread a few times this evening about Dennis Miller on Donahue. The guy who posted it didn't bother to format so it's just one big squirt of text. I said the standard FR line: "paragraphs are our friends." A couple of other people also politely chided him for not taking time to format. He lashed out at us three and our "sanctimonious ingratitude." I finally had it with him and snitched to the admin moderator.
