WHITE HOUSE PRESS MEETING YIELDS NO CREDENTIALING CHANGES, YET

Don't expect major changes to the White House press-credentialing process any time soon. Following a meeting today between the leadership of the White House Correspondents' Association and President Bush's press secretary, Scott McClellan, neither side seemed to be in a hurry to alter the current system, which has drawn criticism amid the recent "Jeff Gannon" scandal.

1. GAH!!

What a toothless, spineless bunch of lily-livered wastrels!

Too lazy to seek the return of credentialing authority to its rightful and historic place within the professional organization!!

GAH!

WHY would they want to continue to be threatened with denial of access to the WH press room? WHY would they kowtow to this bogus "authority" the WH has created over them??

WHY??

(end of rant for now)

4. well probably because there are other trolls in there too

probably paid like gannon was (either in cash&member or kickbacks of sorts, I am convinced) and williams, and that other bimbo who forgot about 25grand.


Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of our bush administration part duex!

5. this means that TERRORISTS could easily get within a few feet of bush*

all they need to do is start a 'little' web site called "la de da rah rah...NEWS": then, go over to the White House, early in the morning and GET a day-pass....added BONUS: terrorists are allowed to use FAKE NAMES, and FAKE news web sites, and get a WH Press Pass only 6 days after starting their FAKE news web-site....

and NOW, the White House Correspondent's Association AND bush* press secretary, scotty mCclellan, announced: That's OK with us....come on over and we'll let you SIT RIGHT THERE, in front of the pResident....


it's almost a PERSONAL INVITATION TO TERRORISTS to bring in some more BIOWEAPONS (anthrax and ricin already have been used on Capital Hill)...and KILL/maim some more people...and the White House 'journalists' really don't seem to care, even about such possible threats to their OWN LIVES....they mostly remain SILENT....

if it was ME, I'd be SCREAMING for some standards from bush*...to prevent TERRORIST ATTACKS, and especially, to PROTECT bush*....

6. Are you saying the WH is incapable of vetting????? nt
