J Hopkins Students' Questions put MSM Press To Shame! (Q&A with Bush)

[blue2helix]

Bush is having a Q&A at Johns Hopkins. I have had the pleasure of listening to a few of the students' questions and I would like to comment on how fearless, direct and informative the questions have been.

My point is, why haven't we gotten this type of expertise from the press?

1. the answer to your question

is anthrax.

[blue2helix]

2. Or cash

$$$$$

[thinkingwoman]

8. Well the corporate owners get cash

the reporters/anchors/talking heads just get the constant threat of white powdered mail.

9. Sounds like an offer you can't refuse

!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. I think to believe that none of the "reporters" are getting $$$ themselves

from some source is naive, think Armstrong Williams.

[thinkingwoman]

16. Armstrong Williams is the exception

not the rule.

Having spent 25 years of my life in the newspaper biz I'm not terribly naive.

edited typo.

[DemoTex]

13. Or Dan Rather-ed (the verb)

Or Swift-Boated. Bu$hco is in total control of the MSM.

[thinkingwoman]

14. Very true

You are absolutely right about that.

[Plaid Adder]

3. Been a long time since I listened to him live.

The guy reminds me of a televangelist. Maybe that's his secret.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

4. I don't know -- sounds more like a car salesman to me

I keep expecting him to try and sell us the undercoating package and special extended warranty...

[blue2helix]

5. Not a very good salesman at that

He has the benefit of owning all the dealerships.

10. Anyone remember Norm Crosby?

the king of the misspoken word?

King of the malaprop, Norm always speaks from his 'diagram' and drinks 'decapitated' coffee. His confusing word play and twisted speech has been an audience favorite since his days on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Crosby for President!

6. the video isn't working for me?

I'm not on my normal computer... can you summarize?

[blue2helix]

7. The Q&A is over

It was a live feed, not a playback, and it just ended.

I'm sure the highlights will get posted later today on Crooks and Liars or Canofun etc...

11. I think the Press is afraid of loosing access to ANY info if they

get though with Shrub. These students have nothing to loose, and nothing at risk.

[Armstead]

12. Their questions were impressive

Perhaps because they actually know things.

Like the woman who asked about how military subcontractors are held legally accountable for their actions in Iraq.

Compared to these students, the MSM Reporters are just showboating dumnmies, all hopped up oin whatever the syory of the day is.

17. I saw a clip of him on the news at Johns Hopkins

you can be pretty certain that the M$M will NOT cover any of the good exchanges, for obvious reasons, just as the refused to cover the exchange between Al Franken and Scalia, when Franken displayed MORE KNOWLEDGE of the legal ramifications of recusal than did that fat, disgusting, orgy loving, obscentiy flasher.

not to mention our own Demgirl, who put it to him just as smoothly as a cottonmouth sliding into a Lousiana bayou
