lying causes cancer.

Leaving to spend more time with her family in 3...2...

Wow. Talk about a "homina, homina, homina," followed by an exit stage left!

I don't care either way about her politics or who her boss is...

I would hold her close to me while she sobs to me about the mean press corps and their tricky questions, then I'd wrap her in a soft robe, make her some hot tea, and rub her feet while she relaxes to some soft jazz. Then afterward, we'd bathe together then make sweet lingering love on satin sheets under the stars....

Uh,

Wait, what were we talking about here?

I like the comment regarding the defense department's cessation of this 'program.' Indicating there WAS a program.

Neat.

/Just add that to the pile, Ma!

She's no Ari Fleischer, that's for damn sure. He was a master--nobody could blatantly lie as smoothly and convincingly as that guy. If he had never left the White House, Dubya's popularity rating would probably be at least 10 points higher right now.

Looks like an outtake from failed auditions of Westwing.

I'll hold her still... then we can switch.

Or ten points lower - because we might still be hearing about Gannon/Guckert, and just who exactly was he slipping into the White House late at night to, uh, slip into?

Ari made it look fun but I don't think he was the best. For my money, Scott McClellan was incredibly underrated and I think ultimately he was better. People actually believed his act whereas with Ari they believed some of his lies but ultimately knew what a conniving shiatbag he was. With McClellan, everyone almost felt bad for him but he was in control the entire time.

I would do that job for sport even though I'm liberal as hell. It does look kind of fun

Nobody loathes this administration more than I do, but the commenter who wants to "slice her face with razors," needs psychiatric help.

It's like she's so used to softballs that when a real question comes up she has no idea how to handle it. I bet the reporter isn't asked back.

What was the question? I can't view the clip from home.

SphericalTime: What was the question? I can't view the clip from home.

Can you also not read the transcript of the question and answer that is written out on the linked page?

napjerk: I would hold her close to me while she sobs to me

Dude, get a room.


SphericalTime: What was the question?

It was regarding how the White House used former DoD guys to act as propaganda agents (in disguise as media experts) for the war.

Congratulations for falling for the Bush administration's plan.

Who cares if she's dumb as a brick and doesn't know what the Cuban Missle Crisis is? I wanna fark that!

that is some sick shiiiit

your government is truly evil



if republicans win
you are truly the stupidest nation of all time

She had to leave to put out her pants.

Article was not what I expected from the headline. Basically she told the reporter to quit lecturing and ask a question. When he finally got around to the question she answered it. Non-story.

/yeah I went there
//actually, that's wrong of me - Goebbels actually had a brain and used it in a most un-human and sadistic way, but at least he had a brain

Craig341: Congratulations for falling for the Bush administration's plan.

I like to think of Dana Perino as a courtesy detail provided by our current clip-joint of an administration. She's the pretty smile you're watching up front while they run up your credit card in the back.

At this point, the credit card has already been hit - I figure I might as well enjoy the smile...

When he finally got around to the question she answered it.

No, she said that she doesn't think it's inappropriate to provide information. In other words, she used the common lying-politician tactic of answering a question that wasn't asked and moving on.

Surely Ms. Perino can think of some inappropriate methods by which the government can share information with the population, so her general statement cannot reasonably be construed to be universal. She was just spouting off about nonsense, and the politicians asking the questions just fail to call her on it.

That's what pisses me off about the media's handling of these people... it's not that her answer was some brilliant dodge that felled us all. It's just that nobody cares enough to call them on the bullshiat, so the people in charge feel perfectly comfortable spouting meaningless rhetorical nonsense while the press corps gazes on rapturously as always.

/see D. Rumsfeld

Did you miss the part where she ended the press conference before they could ask a followup?

Translation of that reporter's complaint: "Hey, you can't propagandize the American people! That's OUR job, dammit!"

/If this be propaganda, make the most of it

I don't think it was her saying "What the hell" in the clip, I'm pretty sure that was part of the press corps pissed that she was walking off.

tomhath: Article was not what I expected from the headline. Basically she told the reporter to quit lecturing and ask a question. When he finally got around to the question she answered it. Non-story.

Except for the part where she didn't answer it.

If my memory serves, this is the floozy who didn't have a clue as to what the Cuban Missile Crisis was. A perfect spokesman for the Dauphin.

I congratulate the casting company.

or, the press who are there asking questions are there because it's there job, and if they get on the wrong side of this uberbiatch they may have their press credentials revoked, this losing their job (in theory)

make one sad that someone isn't standing up for the 1st Amendment more, but then again it's a tough market out there and can't really blame them for not wanting to fark up their job

QUESTION: Others said that if they departed from the Pentagon's talking points their access was cut off.

PERINO:But I would say that one of the things that we try to do in the administration is get information out to a variety of people so that everybody else can call them and ask their opinion about something. And I don't think that that should be against the law. And I think that it's absolutely appropriate to provide information to people who are seeking it and are going to be providing their opinions on it.



PSYOPS on steroids

their job, not there

/very tired, long day, etc.

Knowing that Dana Perino lady I'd have been highly skeptical if she came off stammering in any way.

She was a little flustered but she handled it like I'd expect. Sorry I'd mock if I could but I can't, though her argument was clearly full of holes. Anyway, she's way hot.

There's actually a bit of a back story to this.

The reporter is affiliated with a liberal blog, and had at previous briefings asked Perino some hardballs. As a result, she has basically been ignoring him for weeks.

Today, a reporter from -- get this -- WorldNetDaily -- was called on, and told Perino to let the liberal guy ask his question, since she was obviously ignoring him.

tomhath: Article was not what I expected from the headline. Basically she told the reporter to quit lecturing and ask a question. When he finally got around to the question she answered it. Non-story.

She didn't answer the question at all. The question was, "Did the White House know of this program?"

The answer was, "Look, I didn't know - look, I think that you guys should take a step back and look at this - look, DOD's made a decision: They've decided to stop this program."

She implies later that the White House knew, in that she defends the program as part of a larger effort "to provide information to people who are seeking it," but she never actually answers the question.

Not that the Press Secretary not answering a question is necessarily Fark-worthy, but she is pretty hot.

Governments spread propoganda to promote their agendas?

Quick, call Romero!

Sorry Dana,
you fail at Catapulting The Propaganda!

Who cares if she's dumb as a brick and doesn't know what the Cuban Missle Crisis is? I wanna fark that!

Dude I see through it just fine, and I would hit it. I would leave a fake phone number and tell her my name is Craig341, too.

I think that I will borrow from Grant Hart and call her "Little Miss Information."

The press guy is what the "don't taze me, bro" guy grows up to be!

Jubeebee
Did you miss the part where she ended the press conference before they could ask a followup?

That's part of the problem, too. No attention span... one news cycle and it's like the slate is wiped clean, everyone back to square one. When next Perino finds herself standing in front of them, do you think they'll press the issue?

Do we have any farking idea who was mailing farking anthrax around to people a few years back? How about Bin Laden, when was the last time you heard a serious question to those in power about him?

Louder And More Dissonant: I like to think of Dana Perino as a courtesy detail provided by our current clip-joint of an administration. She's the pretty smile you're watching up front while they run up your credit card in the back.

maybe they hired her just as a way of saying "sorry about farking everything up, here's a pretty blonde to look at."

I can't blame someone for phoning it in so they continue to get a paycheck rather than doing their job, a job upon which nothing less than the future of my country is founded?

The fark I can't.

And she was sooo cool on the Colbert Report too. You're the spokesperson for President Bush. You should expect nothing but a lot of bad days.

//Hope the paycheck is worth it.
//Stock up on wrinkle cream.
