AP Response to Bush Teleconference Staged!

I won't steal any of Dafydd's thunder with an excerpt. Just go read it.

Update:

Jason van Steenwyk has related thoughts here, as does Lorie Byrd here.

Update 2, 10/14/2005:

Dafydd and Jason may have beaten her to it, but Michelle Malkin is all over the story today, here and here.

Update 3:

Subsunk, guest posting for Black Five, has an excellent post on the subject here. A brief taste:


So lets think about this. If you have 30 minutes to be on camera, on national TV, speaking to the President of the United States, would you want to make sure you don't look like a fool? What is the best way to make sure you don’t look like an idiot? Practice, maybe? I mean Lord knows we practice fighting fires on ships, we practice setting up ambushes as grunts, we practice jumping out of airplanes with parachutes on our backs and over 75 pounds of gear which we might never need to use strapped to our bodies. We practice carrier landings, night time bombing raids, land navigation using only our wits and some tree moss. Sometimes it prevents you from looking stupid in front of your Mom, or your girlfriend, or your Commanding General. And sometimes it just saves your life, because you know what’s happening next.


As always, don' t miss Mudville's latest Open Post, and while you're there take time to wish the Greyhawks a happy 21st anniversary.

Update 4:

Betsy Newmark has more here. (Hat tip: Lorie Byrd)

10/15/2005:

Don't miss 2Slick's take on the matter here.

10/16/2005:

Dafydd's wife and co-hisser Sachi has a great follow-up post here:


... After some digging, I found a transcript. As I read it, I understood why the AP had to divert our attention to the trivial non-issue: once again, the MSM is determined to hide "good news from Iraq."

Since they're not going to tell, here are the actual questions and the answers, with commentary. ...
