WASHINGTON (AP) - White House press secretary Ari Fleischer spent his last day at the lectern Monday as if it were any other day - sparring with reporters.
Fleischer on this day, as on so many before, would defend President Bush against a crowd of aggressive interrogators.

Reporters applauded Bush's top spokesman as he entered the White House briefing room for the last time. Then they grilled him for nearly an hour on Bush's disputed claim that Iraq had tried to obtain uranium from Africa for use in nuclear weapons. (snip)

(snip) Fleischer gave a long, Academy Awards-style thank-you speech after his briefing, offering gratitude to everyone from the White House operators to the Secret Service to the reporters who had raked him over the coals for 2 1/2 years.

Normally after his briefings, Fleischer hustled from the lectern back to his office to huddle with his colleagues. Monday, he hung around and sliced up a cake for his interrogators, who applauded him a second time after the grilling had concluded. (snip/...)

2. Press Whores

They really are press corpses. WIth the exception of Helen, they've all got more Ari on their faces than cake. They wait till the last day to finally ask questions, and even then they're mumbling because they've still got Ari's @!(& in their mouths. pathetic.
