Ha! With this story? Are you kidding? The media would have gone nuts, and even the Kobe and Peterson stories would have been preempted for this!
President Bush has proven this fact post 9-11. Many times he has visited with our Military man and women during planned visits, sans camera's. She should have taken a clue from her former Cammander-In-Chief.
Well, Why would it be necessary for the media to be there at all? Is it a required thing? Is she supposed to do things now because the media, and by extension the american people, want her to?
If this is her excuse it is weak and insulting. IMHO.
And I'll give her the benefit of the doubt until a more trustworthy source confirms this... I mean, CNN? Come on. Even the LEFT thinks CNN lies...
