Slaughter to White House - "Stop the Stonewalling!"
Washington, DC - During the February 10 White House briefing, Press Secretary Scott McClellan stated that Jeff Gannon, "...like anyone else, showed that he was representing a news organization that published regularly" in order to receive his day pass to press briefings. It has been confirmed that Jeff Gannon was in the White House briefing room, actively participating in these briefings, as early as February 28, 2003 a full month before Talon News even existed.
Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (NY-28), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Rules, who has lead the call for answers in this matter, today called on the White House to explain their relationship with the discredited "reporter" once and for all.
"It has been a week since I wrote President Bush seeking answers in this matter. I have not yet received a reply. With each new revelation it becomes more and more clear that the relationship between the White House and Jeff Gannon was anything but typical," said Slaughter. "It is time for this Administration to stop the stonewalling and come clean with the American people," she added.
You know what I think. I think Slaughter is Jealous of all those Roses the DUers sent Boxer and wants her own flowers don't you?
I think she's taking her biography too seriously.
"One of the most powerful women in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congresswoman Louise McIntosh Slaughter has achieved a significant level of leadership as the second ranking Democrat on the influential House Rules Committee and as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Legislative and Budget Process. In 2003, she was chosen to serve on the newly created Select Committee on Homeland Security, serving as the Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Rules and sitting on the Subcommittee on Infrastructure and Border Security. She is the Democratic Chair of three very prominent congressional caucuses: the Arts, Womens, and Pro-Choice Caucuses."

Doesn't the WH have autonomy over their Press Briefings and attendance?
So why are Congresspeople whining?
Jealous? No, but she sounds "excited" by all this gay talk. LOL!
She wants more, more!
I'm starting to see a pattern here, remember how the left just loves those prison orgy pictures in Iraq? They can't stop talking about sex.
Gee, Louise, you could be left standing there for a long time. The president has more important things to do, hard as it may be for you to understand such a difficult concept.
Gee, I'm all out of roses, but I do have some rotting onions I could dig out of the trash...
"Doesn't the WH have autonomy over their Press Briefings and attendance?"
Last time I checked, the Executive (WH) is coequal. I don't know what business it is of congress who is in the press briefings.
Am I missing something?
Because they were bombarded by DU e-mails to take this up. Who do you think Boxer got to vote against Bush certification and Condi?? The DUers protested outside her office and blasted e-mails to her until she broke down. They find a weak minded Rep. or Senator and they use their own version of Chinese water torture to get them to take up their stupid obsessions. These Senators and Reps become lackys to the DUers. If they are good - they get flowers if they are bad they get hate mail.
It would be a dead horse if the White House admitted he was a propaganda piece just like all those other paid-off journalists and moved on. Unfortunately, they're still trying to play damage control.
The American people don't give a rip. The only "people" who seem to care are the demented freaks at DU. That place is all Gannon, all the time.
Because political theater trumps reality every time.
Come on, the answer is obvious, Gannon was Rove's secret gay lover. What's the big deal????
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Did Stephenopolus go to journalism school?
Inquiring minds want to know!
I don't either. If it is, then the WH should ask about the circuses, disguised as official proceedings, that Conyers seems to be leading in the House. I have seen him involved in two, one on the 2004 election and more recently one on proposed tort reform. Both were shown on CSpan.
Leftist sex is like fast food, sure it's easy and cheap, but it just satisfies the craving for a short time.
Conservative sex is more like a gourmet meal - afterwords you're fulfilled through and through.
