'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That is such a weird story. Also, it really makes the White House seem lame to plant a fake reporter like that. Geez, you'd think they could find a real reporter at least.
Maybe one of the ones that were bribed to write good articles about White House proposals?
vw - no, I wouldn't mind, not at all (they'll definitely be more fun than the article I'm, again, trying to read). Would you like to e-mail me?
Dana, I'm sorry your day is like this, already.
Do you need us to kick something, Dana? of course, right now I have bare feet , so it might be rather - ineffective.
Maybe one of the ones that were bribed to write good articles about White House proposals?
Yeah, there's plenty of choices. Getting some guy with a fake name, no credentials, who works for a organization that was basically a web page up for a few days, is such an obvious plant that it's kinda insulting.
Yup. Nilly I'll e-mail you in just a bit.
They've dug up evidence that Gannon/Guckert was showing up in the WH press room even before the Talon News organization even existed:
Salon link that may cause an annoying ad to show up on your screen.
How is it that I didn't know until the other day that Project Runway was a Parsons thing? You'd think they'd promote it around school.
Yeah, and the guy on the show from Parsons is really cool. He should be the host. A sexy bitch, some say.
Re: Vanessa. She just sounded stupid trying to defend herself by acting like she didn't know it was an interview. No one buys that, ever. Particularly if you do the interview after being filmed for weeks for a reality show. Dumbass.
I love Jay for calling her on her shit.
A friend of mine wants to come up with a Bravo show for my school. I say we're not glam enough and would need makeovers first.
Was it the Mothers Who Think forum at Table Talk who used "duck-nibbled"? I think that's the right phrase. It's just, doctor was supposed to fax in a prescription and apparently never did, so now I'm out of Zyrtec and sneezing, and I'm trying to buy an Amtrak train ticket, but the only choice they're giving me is Express Ticket Delivery for another $12.00 and why must everything be so difficult?
Blah.
I'm going back to due South fic.
Re Tom's link: I... well, that... oh, fuck. I can't even pretend anything but a sort of weary WTF-ever rolling-eyes-forever muted outrage.
Though, dude. Maureen Dowd wrote this column for the NYT (about the Gannon/Guckert mess, with a sidelong snarl at the fact that this asshole got a daily pass for over a year when she herself, who'd actually been a published DC journalist since the '80s, had her credentials rejected at the beginning of W's first administration) before that story came out. She must be seriously spitting nails now.
eta: Nibbled to death by ducks, IIRC. And now, off to work, for reals.
