LOL. Says alot about the reportorial skills of the WH press corps, doesn't it?
Your statement sums it up, actually.
They ask such stupid questions, the kind a cub reporter for a high school newspaper could figure out with a phone call or two. And some are so stupid they don't require an answer.
I often wonder if they have their own Excellence In Craft Contests, and what categories offer awards:
1. Who can ask the most obnoxious question (winner Helen Thomas)
2. Who can best exemplify a clueless state
3. Who shows the most leftwing bias,
on and on.
