Scripted press conference plusgood bellyfeel


The White House press corps not obsequious enough for you? Then why not just eliminate the middle man and script the press conferences ahead of time?

No muss, no fuss, and it makes the job of the chaps at the Ministry of Truth that much easier.

I would actually have felt better if the tittering media had sounded nervous and frightened when they laughed.
Unfortunately they guffawed like Jack Benny's audience.
But in their defense look at how long those poor souls had to sit angry and stony faced trying to think up trick questions for the likes of Reagan and the two Bushes. They smiled a little for Clinton, but now it's like the Popeye Club, all Oprompter needs now is a puppet. Oh wait, he is the puppet. Never mind the Daly machine over there behind the screen folks.

Yes, our dear media have officially jumped the shark. And the ray, the turbot, the large-mouth bass and the anchovy. Pretty soon they are going to run out of sea life to jump and start on small tree-dwelling rodents.

This is disgusting.
