President Bush Flirts With Bill Plante



(CBS)

At President Bush's press conference today, CBS News White House correspondent Bill Plante, upon hearing his first name called, began to ask a question. Reporter Bill Sammon of the Examiner was standing next to him, and he started talking as well. So Plante paused and asked, “which Bill?”

“You," the president replied. "The cute-looking one.”

I asked Plante what it was like to have the president call him cute.

Plante theorized that the impetus for the comment may have been the colorful pocket square Plante was wearing, which might have lead to a little locker room teasing back in the president's baseball days.

"As long as we have a chance to talk to them, presidents can call us whatever they want," Plante added over email. "And, I’m reliably informed, they do, at least in private."

2. I hope Jeff Gannon doesn't get jealous

No telling how many secrets he is holding...

[SpiralHawk]

13. You mean the male prostitute Jeff Gannon who visited Bush's White House 200

times, including several overnights, according to the official Secret Service record?

3. I think Bush does that to intimidate

Bush has done the same thing before.

4. Bush Tells Canadian Prime Minister's Scott that He has a Prettier Face Than Bush's Scott

The President chuckled. "Well, you got a pretty face," he told the surprised Mr. Reid. He wasn't done. "You got a pretty face," he said again. "You're a good-looking guy. Better looking than my Scott anyway."

[ProgressiveFool]

6. weird - that's a similar situation

where Bush has to tell two people apart, he uses cuteness as the dividing line... what the hell does that say about him???

[bdamomma]

7. does * have a sex identity problem??

[WinkyDink]

9. I think he's fully aware of his preferences. Don't know if his wife is, though.

[Virginia Dare]

8. Chimp Jr. lives to belittle and demean people...

he clearly gets off on it, probably like he got off on blowing up defenseless frogs when he was a kid. He's a psychopath.

[WinkyDink]

10. True enough. But I've yet to read of his speaking to women in such terms.

[Virginia Dare]

11. No, he puts his hands all over women...

in a very demeaning and patronizing fashion. He's always kissing on them too.

[soothsayer]

14. and wipes his glasses on their pashminas

[Mind_your_head]

15. I'm surprised Plante is "bush's type"

Looks like Plante has a full head-o-hair on him. Go figure.... :shrug:

16. Sean Hannity will be jealous

he has had a man crush on Bush for years.
