2. I'm just wondering why the press even shows up...It seems a true
revolt would be to walk away from the chirade. Enough of the tough questions, we know the non answer is coming. Just let the cameras turn on and leave.

4. I was just thinking this a minute ago...it would be priceless and a bold
statement of the press that they refuse to be lied to and then chastised for asking why they were lied to.

9. I must admit to being inspired by someone posting that the press room
was something like 2/3 empty. Perhaps there is some common sentiment.

5. Yes, I've said this too
just have a note on one of the chairs saying, "send copy of talking points to: - "

or

when Scotty starts giving the BS non-answers, reporters just getting up and walking out, saying "bull shit" as they leave

6. I like it. I had heard that the press room was quite empty
I suppose this is the general direction they are headed.

10. Or show up and then all leave at the same time whe he
perhaps utters one his stock phrases--like "taking the war to the enemy".

11. I agree, they'd have to lure him out first. Otherwise they'll
"go around the 'filter' and too the people" with the talking points.

12. Even Better, What if Nobody Showed Up...
...except for Helen Thomas?

It would be Hell for Scotty. He'd have nowhere to run.
