If you want on, or off, the Tony Snow/WHPB ping list, please FReepMail dinasour
MR. SNOW: No.
Why does this always seem to come up? What about instant communications do these dopes not understand?
Rodney Dangerfield's mother-in-laws would ask better questions than these. Dealing with the DC press Corp must be like playing cards with Chimpanzees
Did John Kerry get a seat at the gaggle?
Ping for later.
These press guys are geniuses, aren't they...
Thanks dinasour...can you imagine Helen's look without her hairspray...that'll frighten the terrorists away!
Bingo. Plus, This is just taking tooooo long, so whaddya gonna do to fix it? Waaaah!
Man, those "reporters" were incredibly snarky today.
They seriously need to learn how to ask intelligent questions. It's like they get near the press secretary or the president and just lose what's left of their minds. They act like they are depressed as far as going in circles.
> These press guys are geniuses, aren't they...
Definitely, a couple of clone stamps short of Reuter's photo spread.
The same thought came to my mind, with disgust.
It's all about appearance with them, AND trying to tell the president what to do and where he should be.
I'm so glad he has his own principles and sticks with them.
None of us really knows how much our national policies were driven by the press while bubba was befouling the presidency.
my thoughts exactly....... how did they get to where they are .... hmmm maybe I've answered my own question.... some of their words of wisdom..

Q "You said there is going to be some inconvenience to travelers. There were some complaints this morning that all liquids and gels might be going a little overboard on this. Do you guys have any comment on that?
MR. SNOW: You can't go overboard when you're trying to protect lives.
snip....
Q To what extent does this take away the President's attention from the Middle East problem?
MR. SNOW: It doesn't. He's been, obviously, actively engaged in the Middle East, and at the same time this has been going on. It is in the nature of a President's responsible in this kind of world that you have to be able to keep your eye on a number of challenges at the same time, and he has been and will continue to.
snip...
Q But you all are convinced that this is a very serious threat and lives were at risk?
MR. SNOW: It was a very serious threat. Again, I don't -- I know you want us to try to characterize timelines and when people were going to do that -- you simply can't do that, for operational and intelligence reasons. But it was a very serious and very credible threat.
Q How concerned was the President upon hearing all this in his briefing?
MR. SNOW: I don't know. I mean, "concerned" is -- when you hear about things like this, you know there is a necessity to respond and to respond in the appropriate ways. And that's -- again, his approach is we've got to deal with this, and that is what U.S. officials and our allies have been doing.
snip...
Q So the Vice President, when he did his incredibly rare conference call with reporters, also didn't know about it at the time?
MR. SNOW: I don't think so. You'll have to ask, but I can say from our point of view at that point we didn't."
snip...
LIBS: "The Rovian plot to undermine the Senate must be stopped!!!"
Well, nothing original in the questioning by the press. They always amaze me at how their tone never changes, and they can never "get" that GW has every communication available to him in Crawford...just like Clintoon did when he was hob-nobbing with the rich and famous on Cape Cod.
They're idiots. Tony has the patience of a saint! :D
> Can you clarify the Karl Rove call
How the heck do they even know about it?
Cheney/Rove '08 - the ticket to make leftist heads explode!
Thank you, dina.
Why do I get the lfeeling that they're doing opposition research for future Congressional investigations???
Stay sane, Tony, I hope their anti-American disease is not contagious!
Pinz
no but I'm sure they got her flask of MD-2020
