Now they sit and listen to him attentively and jockey for the chance to ask him a question so they can listen to him talk for how ever long he wants.

I am loving it!

1. Speaking of this...
Have you seen Frost/Nixon? Nixon was brilliant at taking a reporter's question and just bullshitting on and on to the point that he would completely destroy whatever aggression was in the question. By the time he's done answering a question, you forget what the question even was. Obama is pretty damn good at this, although obviously not a lying sack of shit like Nixon.

3. After eight years of Bush, I think Martin Sorcese sounds long winded!

5. O'Really just called him "long winded" and "boring"..
and predicted that people tuned out.

I can't wait to see the numbers. I bet it's the most watched Presidential press conference in history.

7. Pot? Kettle on line one.
As if Billo the Clown has any business calling OTHER people "long winded" and "boring."

6. And the President ended his conference at 8:59 EST, too.
Therefore carefully avoiding running into the coveted 9pm Monday bug-eating shows, or whatever it is people are watching now days.
