We are on tape delay. I will get Rush an hour later than that...so the VP will be on at 2:30. I will not turn Rush on until then, becaue he made me so mad yesterday that I about blew a gasket. I hope Cheney takes him to the woodshed.

Thanks for all the info on the dish. Our anniversary is next week. I think I will surprise my long suffering DH with a great present this year.

[pinz-n-needlez]

I read in one of the articles yesterday that Tony's mom died of colon cancer when he was a senior in high school.

He figured it was just a matter of time until it came for him.

My goodness, to live with that thought hanging over your head. No wonder he lives with such enthusiasm, honesty, and fearlessness!

Thank you! Tony is also AWESOME!! He looks SO perfect behind that podium.

(And I bet you type faster than your cousin, Virgil)

[Sammie42]

LOL, we DO lay claim to him, he was awesome!

[dinasour]

> bummer!!!!!!!!! I missed it!

CSPAN might replay later.

Also there should be Real Media recordings available soon.

I'll post links here as soon as I know.

[JerseyDvl]

Thanks to all for the tar baby information. It'll be good to smack down any ignorant libs who dare bring it up.

Way too much detail

[Chena]

You will lose satellite reception during heavy storms. It serves as a last minute warning.

I've never had that happen before, Redleg. In the spring we do get solar flares that can disrupt the satellite signal for a few minutes, but that's to be expected. If the snow piles up too high on the thinga-ma-bob (lol), I do go out and knock it off. We're in the eastern Interior of Alaska where we have plenty of thunderstorms and snowstorms. I wonder if the reason you lose reception during heavy storms has more to do with the way your dish is mounted outside? Maybe the wind moves it?

[HonestConservative]

That was wonderful, thank you.

[Danae]

Oh this is a good day! We got us a former FReeper as Press Sec! That was a great Briefing! Good to be franticaly scrolling through the posts on a Live Tony thread! WOOF!

[Clint N. Suhks]

C-Span Radio reporting that Venezuela may sell their F-16s to IRAN! We should bomb them first!

No SH!t? How did Venezuela get them in the first place. Good excuse to target Hugo Chavez.

[Miss Marple]

OK, Snowflakes, I am off to weed my garden, since for once it isn't raining. See you at the next press flogging!

[Spunky]

At one point he was asked if these were going to be televised. He said they hadn't decided on that yet and that he was sure the TV crew just as soon they were Blackend.

We need to let him know WE WANT THEM ALL TELEVISED.

[JosephW]

I've been here on FR for years now and nothing has made me laugh as much as that comment.

[TruthNtegrity]

Tony may just singled handed help bring back up W's poll numbers. Tony we are BLESSED that you are honored to work in the White House and we and thankful to you and your family for your respect of working for the White House.

God Bless you and your family Tony.
Your speaking for all of us who support President Bush.

AMEN and AMEN
