I think what keeps Rumsfeld and Fleischer so patient is that they see the end from the beginning in terms of American national security, lives saved or lost, etc., and daily remind themselves how important or not important these little twerps in the press briefings are to that purpose.

One does get the impression that most of the WH press corps is comprised of interns. From a local high school.

My husband stated almost the exact same thing tonight while we watched the C-SPAN re-run of today's press briefing conducted by Ari Fleisher!

Husband said, "but for the old bag in the front row (Helen Thomas) the press gaggle looks as though they're fresh out of anti-America journalism schools."

Quite. That's what it means to be an adult.
