NBC REPORTER TO WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: 'DON'T BE A JERK'

[johnnyBgood]

NBCNEWS chief White House correspondent David Gregory warned President Bush's spokesman on Monday not to be a "jerk!"

The heated exchange came during a press gathering at the White House.

Gregory asked White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan about the Cheney hunting accident.

'David, hold on, the cameras aren't on right now,' McClellan replied. 'You can do this later.'

'Don't accuse me of trying to pose to the cameras,' Gregory said, voice rising. 'Don't be a jerk to me personally when I'm asking you a serious question.'

'You don't have to yell,' McClellan said.

'I will yell,'' said Gregory, pointing a finger at McCellan at his dais. 'If you want to use that podium to try to take shots at me personally, which I don't appreciate, then I will raise my voice, because that's wrong.'

'Calm down, Dave, calm down,' said McClellan.

'I'll calm down when I feel like calming down,' Gregory said. 'You answer the question.'

'I have answered the question,' said McClellan, who had maintained that the vice president's office was in charge of getting the information out and worked with the ranch owner to do that. 'I'm sorry you're getting all riled up about.'

'I am riled up,' Gregory said, 'because you're not answering the question.'"

You know what,serves him right, this is what happens when the white house press lets the bush administration get away with freakin murder for all these years .A nice relationship the upshot being toss the whitehouse softballs and we will renew your whitehouse press card.
And thats worked pretty well with the american people suffering because of it. So this is what its come to, snotty scotty getting real nasty now that the press smell blood,so much scandal, but nothing that a personal jibe cant put to rest when the explanations are so far fetched that aliens landing on my left butt cheek would be more believable.A great defense is a good attack,and it will work cause ,Whitehouse reporters are whimps and whimpettes.

I think thisWhite House spokesman is the worst possible person for the job. He looks and talks like a real shyster, which is what all such folks are whether they be Dems or Reps.

The White House press corps actually have it pretty good compared to the past. Teddy Roosevelt really made them toe the line.
