Americablog: Ari Fleischer, who let a prostitute ask President Bush questions, now has a problem....
That's rather rich. Huffington Post should not have been permitted to ask President Obama a question at this week's press conference, former White House press spokesman Ari Fleischer says, because they're too extreme and "out there." Yet Ari Fleischer himself permitted a male hooker to not only regularly attend his White House briefings (still not clear who let the hooker in - eh Ari?), but Fleischer let President Bush actually call on the sex worker for a question. Then again, we know that the Republicans have a soft spot, so to speak, for hookers. And speaking of whores asking the president a question, why is FOX News still in the White House press pool?

1. lol!
"And speaking of whores asking the president a question, why is FOX News still in the White House press pool?

when olbermann talked about this recently he mentioned gannon's "website" called "talon news" and i thought he should have added at least one of gannon's other websites: hotmilitarystuds.com is the only one i remember.

6. Absolutely, FOX should be banned
Edited on Thu Feb-12-09 05:19 AM by woodwrite
The FOX connection (via Rupert Murdoch) to the Weekly Standard, and therefore to the PNAC is hardly coincidental, and it should disqualify FOX from having the mantle of legitimate, objective journalism.

3. And just who in the Hell do these assholes think they are anyway
It's not their White House anymore. Fuckin' cockroaches! Seemingly impossible to get rid of once they're infested.

7. The Bushies have short, short memories.
(And I suspect they're short, short elsewhere as well, given their bellicose nature.)

8. Republicons have wide-stance, diaper-clad Family Values
when it applies to themselves.

Republicons are nothing if not the Latter Day Pharisees...

9. Fred Rutherford.
As Ari ages he reminds me more and more of Lumpy's dad from 'Leave it to Beaver'.

I'm sure Mr. "Watch what you say" may have stained his Underoos by the question that was asked.


speaking of "out there" didn't he call upon that bat shit crazy Les Kingsolver (may not be correct last name) a few times?

12. Ari just can't stop lying
Ari, sweetheart, Jim/Jeff Guckert/Gannon -- the male whore you gave press credentials to -- worked for a fucking "dotcom" as you call them, and a third-rate one at that. And you let him ask questions all the time.

15. Don't know if you saw Rachel last night, but she went straight for the jugular on this one
Several times, she exclaimed, "What about the hooker?"

16. And yet again Jeffy rears his ugly...err...head.
Edited on Fri Feb-13-09 02:42 AM by progressoid
Unsurprisingly, most Repubes don't even know about him or this incident.
