Do we have a new shill in the WH press corps?

Edited on Mon May-02-05 11:19 PM by paineinthearse

Note "...the sexually-troubled Mr. Mfume..."

We appear to have another Guckert in the WH press corps. No, he is not a 6 foot bald hunk, with 8” uncut (or was that cut?), he is an older gentleman, but he is launching softball questions at Scottie boy.

Read an excerpt from today’s press conference (for entire transcript go to http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1757960&mesg_id=1758243&page=

I was watching live on CSPAN, they flashed his name and newspaper, but I did not catch it. Believe his is Les (someone) of a Baltimore-area newspaper. Can anyone help identify the shill?

Q Scott, page one, plus follow-up stories in both The Washington Post and The Baltimore Sun have detailed such NAACP documents as two female employees getting into a fistfight over the attentions of President Kweisi Mfume, who has admitted dating female employees. And my first question, will the President ask Republican Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele of Maryland to run against the sexually-troubled Mr. Mfume?

MR. McCLELLAN: Les, I'm sure at the appropriate time we can talk about the 2006 Senate races. I think it's a little premature for that at this point.

Q Well, let me -- just one follow-up. Does the President believe that all of this may provide an explanation for the NAACP resisting an IRS audit?

MR. McCLELLAN: Les, those are questions that you need to direct to other people. In terms of the IRS --

Q Other people -- I want to know what the President --

MR. McCLELLAN: In terms of the IRS, you need to direct those questions to the IRS.

:wtf:

Edited "shrill" to shill. Can I get credit for an "R"?

3. That's Les Kingsolving. He's been there forever.

He's definitely a right wing loon, but he's his own right wing loon.

6. As far as I am concerned

shill or shrill...same thing as far as I am concerned. The man is an asshole of the highest order...however, sad to say...he is no Jimmy/Jeff. He has "credentials". I looked him up when he asked if the national guard should be brought in to deal with gay marriages in California. He's a rightwing fucktard.

8. Somebody should tell that asshole to shut the fuck up.

He asks his fucking loaded question and then keeps shouting out more bullshit. Why doesn't somebody tell him to shut the fuck up?!? Scotty didn't answer the dumbass questions anyway. The idiot just wasted everybody's time with his mini-speech disguised as a question. Assholes. I'd like to slap that asshole, he really pissed me off.

9. IMHO they are all

shills, plants, lapdogs, cheerleaders, bootlickers and buttkissers

when scotty-dog is on - I turn the tube off

in the rare event that a "real question" is asked (and not one that's been pre-approved and scripted) -- scotty-dog ducks, dodges and tap-dances away

10. "Is there a new shill in the press corps?"

Sure there is, about 98% of them.

THE JEFF GANNON MEMORIAL QUESTION
What better way to butress his "legacy" than to pick the day or week's most ingratiating, butt-kissing, agenda-peddling question? They're anonymous on the White House transcripts, but that's okay--the guilty parties will know who they are!

Just rememember that I get the royalties!
