[SE Mom]

I didn't hear the name of the reporter- first thing to find out- is this guy really blind?

[Peach]

I know it; that was not handled well, imo. The leftists would defend THEIR reporters who were gay escorts and say it's a GOOD thing. But we kick ours out. Most unfortunate because he used to ask terrific questions.

[Jameison]

What an idiot.
The loony left of America, permanently stuck on stupid.

The guy looks lite in the loafers and needs to get rid of his metrosexual 5 o'clock shadow. What a dork.

Good tactics on GW's part. Even Gregory was surprised when GW first commented on his tie, and Gregory looked down at himself.

[Peach]

Maybe we can suggest to Tony that his credentials get yanked. I'm surprised he was even let in while wearing sunglasses.

[ahayes]

He wears his sunglasses at night.

I've never considered the etiquette of sunglasses, but I suppose if they aren't needed and if they are worn in a possibly confrontational situation they could be seen as impolite because they hide one's expression and could be considered intimidating.

Is it Peter Wallsten and not Paul?

[Peach]

I googled his name and don't see anything that says he's blind. He sure doesn't look blind in his picture and most blind people would be wearing sunglasses.

[kaboom]

It was a no win situation for the reporter since the sunglasses were covering the mascara and fake lashes underneath.

[bigfootbob]

Chumps like this validate that sage decision.

[Txsleuth]

Wasn't Daily Kos also spreading the rumor a few weeks ago that Rove was being indicted, for sure???

Lefties have a slogan, "why tell the truth, when lies get us what we want?"

[Rakkasan1]

blind to truth and deaf to reason. that sums up most of the media jackals.

[PsyOp]

He should have told the punk to sit down and then moved on to another reporter.

[NavyCanDo]

Don't look blind to me. This lie is spreading like wild fire. I Just heard 3 liberals at work laughing and talking about a new incident of Bush putting his foot in his mouth, and I heard something about a blind guy. Your story clears it up.

[Mo1]

If he was blind .. then why was he holding a note pad and pen

[Peach]

Even when I meet friends outside, I take off my glasses to talk with them.

[RandallFlagg]

If this jackass attends the next press briefing, Secretary Snow oughta say, "Where's those cool-looking shades today, Wallsten?"

And ask him at every briefing/gaggle. Again and again.

[Peach]

It is Peter Wellsten. Did I say Paul upthread?


AAAARGH!
