Question: Who is the WH correspondent he calls "Stretch?"

[LittleApple81]

He framed his question today using all the RW arguments that are pro-Bush.

5. Thanks! it figures it was the WT n/t

3. He was on his knees indeed...quite pathetic.

The WH Press core, in general, seems to be back to their kneepad ways.

4. Here's Stretch's question:

"In Afghanistan, things are improving, as you've mentioned. In Iraq, we're about to transfer sovereignty. And even domestically, the economy is booming. Why is it that you're having trouble pulling ahead of your opponent, John Kerry?"

9. Man, does that sound like Nazi or Soviet "press"

"Mr. Hitler! Mr. Hitler! Given the fact that you've turned the economy around, given that you have made us all feel GOOD to be Germans again, given that you were appointed by God. Why is it that people won't stop accusing you of running Death Camps in Poland and Germany?"

My God...the Amerikan Empire has three general groups of people in it, Busheviks, Free Americans, and the Imperial Subjects of Amerika, who are among the world's easiest to lie to and enslave.

Guess which group Sammon falls into?

11. ..and a follow up Mr. President

"If you were to drop your finely tailored pants and show us your glorious, well toned ass, I would be happy to pucker up and give it a big wet kiss".

The economy is booming? What the hell?

6. NBC's David Gregory = "Stretch"

I've heard the reference a lot on Imus.

[LittleApple81]

8. No, I know Gregory. It wasn't Gregory. It was the Wash Times guy.n/t

[LittleApple81]

10. read Post 7 for the explanation of Bush*'s pettiness....n/t

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

7. Here's how sad it is:

He used to call David Gregory, of NBC News, "Stretch." But Gregory began asking tougher questions, one time even questioning Chirac in French--IN FRENCH, people. So chimpy stripped him of his nick-name and gave it to Sammon. In fact, Gregory is standing next to Sammon at the press conference today, and steps forward to soeak when chimpy says "Stretch."

Maybe, just maybe none of this is true and Sammon just thought chimpy called on him when chimpy meant Gregory all along. But the pettiness of giving someone else Gregory's nick-name is certainly in line with chimpy's modus operandi.
