That’s what you get when you hang with Democrats, Major. You lay down with the dogs, you have to expect to get up with the fleas.

I wonder how many other WH reporters have got it?

That might be interesting...

Hope it wasn’t ‘slipped’ to him...after all, he IS the enemy. The WH has so declared.

Did they receive the FluMist vaccine or regular seasonal Flu shots???
FluMist contains LIVE H1N1 virus.
You can catch the virus from someone who recently received the FluMist nasal
spray. People will be catching it from those who got the FluMist.
The mercury in the regular flu shot and the other vaccines actually weakens
the immune system to make people more vulnerable.


Vaccine May Be More Dangerous Than Swine Flu

you say “That’s what you get when you hang with Democrats, Major. You lay down with the dogs, you have to expect to get up with the fleas.”

What????????? Garret is on our side. He’s in the trenches FOR us, not against us. He’s not ‘laying down with dogs,’ he’s taking them on.

For example: I’m sure he was put on ‘we gotta get rid of this guy’ list after THIS exchange.

Like I said in my other post, I’d like to see how many other WH press corp reporters came down with the flu.

The FluMist vaccine they have been spraying into people's noses contains live H1N1 virus.
It was predicted this would cause it to spread.

Does anyone remember how Salon's Dan Savage got the flu and tried to give it to Republican candidate Gary Bauer in 2000 by licking pens, computer keyboards and doorknobs that Bauer would touch?

I have to agree with you, in general. While he reports on the Dems pretty kindly (to them) in his stand-ups, he can be pretty tough in the briefing room.

It's likely terrorists have already figured out that FluMist makes a great bioweapon.

They have been spraying live H1N1 Swine Flu virus into people's noses.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out how that spreads to hands
and others. Or doorknobs.
