Time after time, when any event of WH interest occurs, they ask the stupidest questions such as "when exactly did Bush know?" or "is that Cheney's shotgun?".
Clearly they are focused on extracting any damaging point they can trumpet to smear the reputation of this administration. That's all they care about. Truth doesn't even enter the equation. They are after The Story that will catapult them to the front row of Bush Haters Inc.
I'm glad they were stiffed. Let them get their information like reporters actually do, by observing and reporting.
The top ten questions the WH press corps would have asked...if only they had been there at the moment of the shooting:
10. Were you aiming at his chest or just in general?
9. How many beers did you drink at lunch and were you legally intoxicated by Texas standards?
8. Do you have a gun license and is the weapon registered in your name?
7. Were there any hookers with the hunting group?
6. When did you offically call the president and let him know that you screwed up?
5. If it took so long to notify the state game officials...was there some reason that you were illegally hunting there?
4. If your hunting partner had been a democrat...would it have made any difference?
3. How many people have you shot in your hunting career?
2. Did your medication cause loss of control of your mind?
1. Will you be hunting again next spring and can we tag along with you?
As stupid as these sound...they are likely true questions that the WH press would ask. Sad but true.
