Laughing at Ari Some More
Fun White House press conferences today: Transcript: White House Daily Briefing, June 17, 2003. I especially like this exchange:
Q: Ari, a quick two-part question. You said there will come a time
when the President engages in political activities. How will we know
when that happens? (Laughter.)MR. FLEISCHER: You’re not trying to lead me somewhere with that type
of question, are you?Q: Never, Ari.
MR. FLEISCHER: Very judicious of you.
Q: Will you be landing somewhere? (Laughter.)
MR. FLEISCHER: I hope you enjoyed it. (Laughter.) Your network surely
did.
As I’ve said before, I really am going to miss Ari. There’s lots of other good stuff in the transcript, including hammering on Ari about WMDs, about which the president is sticking to his guns, at least as far as Ari is concerned. And his (the president’s) supporters continue to do their best to shore him up; witness the following editorial from today’s Washington Times: What credibility gap?
