"Mr. President, did you know Jeff Gannon was a fake, planted reporter"?
"I mean, he was there at the press conferences for two years, and you called on him often and by name, did you seriously not know that he was a plant"? "And a follow up sir, do you think it is constitutionally acceptable to deliberately deceive the public in this way, considering the fact that during your last press conference you dodged a question about Armstrong Williams taking a quarter million dollars to shill your agenda"?

3. One question ? Oooh, pick me !!
Mr. President, your administration has stated that Mr Guckert/Gannon was not a plant intended to ask you easy/favorable questions. If not, and considering that he does not have the kind of journalistic credentials to get into the Press Corps, is/was he having an affair with someone employed by your administration ?


:evilgrin:

9. Mr.bush, seeing as how you have lied and deceived the public over
and over again, paying people to report what news you want and slander and terrorize those who do not support your policies totally blindly, such policies leading us closer and closer to WWIII, and since you have implied to the public that Iraq=9/11 and have implimented many policies to ensure that the USA has the least favorable level of opinion in the rest of the world forever, what are you going to get your new puppy for a CHRISTmas present next year?

5. Uh, er, uh, ah, uh...
I don't think I heard the whole question and I'd ask you to repeat it except I've got an important manda..er meeting to get to.

Scotty, make sure that asshole's stopped at the door and tear up his pass. I never want to see his face again.

8. & were you at all aware of Mr. Gannon's 'alternative lifestyle'?
and the less than savory photos of him on the internet, and his connections with dozens of GOP operatives who also work for you mr. president?

10. Step Out
Turn on my vcr
Same one I’ve had for years
James brown on the tammy show
Same tape I’ve had for years
I sit in my old car
Same one I’ve had for years
Old battery’s running down
It ran for years and years

Turn on the radio
The static hurts my ears
Tell me where would I go
I ain’t been out in years
Turn on the stereo
It’s played for years and years
An otis redding song
It’s all I own

Plug in my mci
To excercise my brain
Make records on my own
Can’t go out in the rain
Pick up the telephone
I’ve listened here for years
No-one to talk to me
I’ve listened here for years

When I feel lonely here
Don’t waste my time with tears
I run deep throat again
It ran for years and years
Don’t like the food I eat
The cans are running out
Same food for years and years
I hate the food I eat

11. Did Mr. Gannon represent any kind of security risk
to members of the administration or fellow "journalists" in this post 9-11 world since he was not vetted as a security risk? I understand Helen Thomas and Maureen Dowd were denied press passes due to security issues, despite their having covered Washington for years for established media outlets. Yet Mr. Gannon was able to be present on the basis of a driver's license and an alias. How does this lax attitude toward Mr. Gannon reflect on your administration, the Patriot Act, and the safety of all Americans?

12. Mr President
Was there any correlation between your apparent fetish for bald heads and James Guckert being chosen as a White House shill?

15. Bushs' press conferences are perfectly prepared for him-- no stone
unturned. He KNEW he had a ringer in the press pool. Impossible that he didn't know.
