This is so goddamn funny.



Hasn't every administration had, if not prosties, at least 'friendly'
reporters they could turn to in that way since the end of the Truman
years? Maybe before then, but we had men with more chutzpah as
presidents before then, or so it seems to me. And less press
conferences were expected. As well as press conferences then being
more regarded as chances for the president to push his policies than
as chances to get other information.


Oh, OK. I guess it's perfectly normal for administrations to hire male
prostitute shills to serve up softball questions in press conferences.
