The story was given to the Corpus Christi paper, but because the White House press corps only reads their own blather, none of them knew it.

Frankly, I think it is absolutely ridiculous that Fleischer and Fitzwater felt compelled to offer their opinions. I note they haven't (until now) offered their opinions on the MANY infractions of the press corps. I don't seem to remember seeing Fleischer's comment about Dan Rather, for example.

I am getting very cynical. I sometimes feel it's going to be you, me, Howlin, and a few others down in Crawford, fending off the howling left with shotguns and stink bombs.

LOL!

I was never a Fitzwater fan, but I'm hoping that E & P might have fabricated a quote. I wouldn't trust anything I read from that rag.
