Interesting. I can see Clinton doing this...I wonder if this practice continued under W, Obamugabe and PRESIDENT trump.

The office's director, Sue Hazard, says she tries not to waste food or overfeed people. But some reporters or TV technicians are too busy to eat at every stop, she says, and they sometimes get testy if there's not a hot meal waiting when they're ready.

"Some time ago, we got complaints because there wasn't enough food and there were cold sandwiches--we got pretty vehement complaints," Hazard says. In fact, the White House Correspondents Association insisted that a hot meal be served on any press flight lasting more than one hour. On top of that, Hazard says, some people don't eat meat, and others need low-sodium meals.

You were right. Yet another reason to despise these pampered prestitutes. Free food and they complain about having to, *shudder*, endure a cold sandwich. The horror. The horror.

The press displays the same lack of situational awareness as the French aristocracy before the Revolution. They are despised by the people and deservedly so.
