Bush Calls Sam Donaldson 'Has Been'

As President George W. Bush joined the last daily press briefing in the White House press room, which will undergo a nine-month renovation, Bush took a moment to take some questions.

At that time, a reporter shouted:

"Mr. President, should Mel Gibson be forgiven?"

The president laughed and looked into the audience to see who shouted the remark:

"Sam Donaldson, is that you? I don't have to talk to you anymore, you're a has been."

First, there was laughter, then silence.

But, in the end, Bush did not respond to the former ABC News anchor's question.

The president and first lady Laura Bush surprised media members gathered in the James Brady Room, the formal name for the press briefing room, for the final press conference there.

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow had invited several of his predecessors to the final briefing, including James Brady, Marlin Fitzwater, Dee Dee Myers and Joe Lockhart.

Bush is on a roll. I would have called him a "never been".

Yes, but this won't sit well with the press.

You can criticize anybody but one of Them.

They rule, you know.

I heard they're installing a ZOT machine manufactured by Haliburton.

Well, his hair is un-dead. Does that count?

Yep. Works just like the Hurricane steering machine. Just smaller.
