Has Will Pitt applied for a daily W.H. pass yet? He's got ten times

[Sperk]

the experience (journalistic, that is) than Gannon. Might make a nice piece..."A Journalist's Journey to the White House." Go 'head Will, I'd love to hear about the process, Hell..maybe I'll apply for one if it's that easy!

Is posting on DU considered journalism experience?

Once upon a time, working the White House Press Briefing Room was the crown jewel of mainstream political journalism beats. That was it; short of reporting live from under the President’s desk or nailing down an interview with the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, you weren’t going to get a better gig if you were a political reporter.

4. Kind of missed my point....he would NEVER get one! I would like him

to try and let us know from the inside exactly what the process is. My guess is that it is not that easy at all. And if on the off chance Will got a pass...he would NEVER be called on. I'm sure they know who Will is.

3. But is Mr. Pitt an 8+ cut hotmilitarystud4u personal trainer guy?

Apparently, that is one of the criteria used to distribute press credentials these days. Hey, if I were Karl Rove, I would demand no less!

5. I've met him...definitely could pass as one.
