2. Umm ...
Do you have any idea how far in the back she'd be? It seems that even CNN is too "liberal" to get a front-row seat these days.

3. Can she bring a bullhorn, then?
Yeah, it'is going to be a 'she', isn't it?

11. Actually, one of those foghorns would be great...
...she could blast it every time Scotty lies. Oh, wait, might get prosecuted for aural abuse that way. But is the abuse any more nefarious than what Simple Scotty perps on us through the mouthbreathers in the white house press corp on a daily basis?

5. Why Not?
they are a network of more than one station...although I wonder how much access they would have..but I seem to remember a right wing web site guy being part of the WH press corps...

6. That nut named Les
from Talon news who throws Scotty "Bush loving softballs" every time he's called on. I think Talon News is just some whacky right wing online thing associated with the equally whacky GOPUSA
