Then there's Brian Wilson's great sin. In his case, the problem wasn't NOT asking a question, but trying too hard to ask tough ones of the Senate minority leader and the party chairman, who had joined together to make it look as if there was no problem when there very obviously was.

That, and using a swear word in answering a question from a Washington Post reporter – Brian himself later admitted that he wished he'd known it was a Post reporter.

I missed this. Anyone know what happened with Brian Wilson?

Dean and Reid held an impromptu meeting with Press in Reid's office. 60 reporters were trying to cram into a space that only held 20. Brian Wilson is about 6ft 4, so he managed to get in. He then called out a question to Dean that asked him that as he's stated that he hates Republicans and as he's also stated that the Republican Party is the white Christian party, did Dean also hate all white Christians?

At which point, Dean's mouth dropped open, speechless.

Then a junior reporter from the Post turned to Brian and asked him who he was (it was an impromptu meeting and he hadn't had his tag visible). Brian asked the junior guy who the f he was? Whereupon the junior reporter went to blog what happened and said that Brian has an aptitude of the variations of the f word.

Then Durban came out and called Wilson a Moose as having owned that meeting. Brian responded that no, he was more like a gazelle.

The next day, Brian handled Special Report and commented that use of the f word has been known to happen on the Hill.
