The White House press room has often been a cockpit of intrigue, duplicity and truckling. But nothing challenges the most recent scandal there.
The latest incident began with a sequence of questions for President Bush at his January 26 press conference. First, he was asked whether he approved of his administration's payments to conservative commentators. Government contracts had been granted to three pundits, who had tried to keep the funding secret.

There were a lot of guys who were REAL surprised to end up on the wrong side of the bars at the Lubyanka...
LOLOL.....talk about the pot......
"Three Democrats walk into a bar..." :)

Dana Milbank with a straight face actually said that he didn't know of anyone in the news that use a name other then their real name
Chrissy was pushing the idea that the Bush Administration is paying off reporters to ask softball questions
Hmmmmm .. Do these fools want us to go back and see what softball questions were asked of Clinton?
Hmmmm .. Do we these fools want us to go and see who rec'd benefits from the Clinton Administration??

When I see the Guardian attack George Galloway for taking MILLIONS from Saddam Hussein, I will perhaps pay attention to anything they print.
What a moronic statement. The DNC perfected the art of the "daily talking points" memo

And quick also!
Thought he was listing the Clinton White House staff.
To use a Britishism: Bloomers is the original rent boy.
I don't want to sound stupid, but I am not familiar with British sayings.
rent boy = young male prostitute
LOL! I bet you get a lot of that out on the Left Coast... ;-)
