The Augusta Free press got one:
Yes, we have been through the process for obtaining White House day passes.

And let us just say that it is not at all an easy process to get through.

Needless to say that it is difficult to think that it could have been done using a fake name - the Secret Service needs your real name so it can do a background check on you before letting you inside the gate.

Several phone calls placed over the course of a two-week period were needed to get us inside.

And that was for a one-shot deal.

1. Thank you very much

A little honesty goes a long way.

I would never point out that all the MSM White House reporters would know this, and one of them might just have come forward and written or broadcast something about this, But then I remember how gutless the WH press crew has proved itself to be in recent years. And I sigh at their shame.
