The new and closer relationship with India is really big and good news. I was so ashamed by the American "journalists" and their arrogant and irrelavent questions. They were a disgrace. It makes you wonder about the value of freedom of the press when all we get are these ignorant jerks. I saw the joint press conference yesterday between the Indian Prime Minister and President Bush.

They'd be great neighbors. If I played the stereo a bit loud I'm sure they'd ask me nicely (and repeatedly) to turn it down. But I don't think they are/were the right people given the times we face and the media they face. On the other hand, if it is rope-a-dope and Wilson and Plame or some others are going to take a hit, then Scott might be the best kind of person to take a beating. Who knows what is really going on. Anyway, in general, I'd prefer a Fred Thompson type. Or Rove himself as press secretary--now that would be interesting. Just for the record: I like Scott and I liked Ari. They’d be great neighbors.

And get a press secretary with some authority in his voice and step. Some stature.</i>--Dan C. Although your specific example might have been slightly off the mark, your point is exactly right. Why should anyone simply stand there and present himself for MSM target practise? That is not bringing 'dignity' to the office or administration the press secretary is supposed to be representing. It is merely giving the appearance of weakness and dissembling. Scottie is a TERRIBLE person to have in this role at this moment in time,and why he is still there is a complete mystery to me. As to the complete world ignorance and ridiculous ethno-centrism of the MSM, their behaviour is INSULTING. They need to be called on it. Frankly this aspect of Bush's performance has always struck me as extremely weak. I fail to see what he believes he gains by not going toe to toe with these creatures. I just don't get it. Take off the gloves. And get a press secretary with some authority in his voice and step. Some stature.–Dan C.

What do they care about the impression they leave with the rest of the world? They have other things on their mind. Good for the Indian reporter. I wish Bush had said something pointed and Texan-like (he probably did in a private moment with the P.M.), echoing the sentiments out loud, but being Presidential seems to mean just rolling your eyes and shrugging your shoulders these days. Sadly. Take off the gloves. And get a press secretary with some authority in his voice and step. Some stature. TedM,
