Just viewing the photograph increases my disgust for the current administration. Thank god I did not vote for Bu$h. These are the lowest form of public servants in history, and most of them still go to work each day and spill our tax dollars into the toilet. Dammit!

Is it just me or is the bush administration getting more orwellian as his time in office dwindles. and to the person who tried to equate this with an allegedly staged question at hillary''s campaign stop, its important to remember that every single one of the people and questions during bush''s campaign stops were vetted and staged. A governmental agency representing the president of the united states staging an entire press conference is insidious on a whole other level.

Boy. uou insomniacs are a feisty bunch!

You would have thought that after seven years, the American public would be reconciled to the fact that our federal government was acting without input from the American citizenry.
Maybe a new wind is blowing, one that will transport the ship of state back to the Land Of Constitutional Democracy. I do not like living in a kingdom.

Doesn''''t this describe a high-level government criminal conspiracy to defraud the American public?

So true,,,But I thought the fake news conference was originally held outside?? Now they''re showing it as being held inside. Am I missing something? Or am I remembering it wrong?

Maybe our fake President could have lent some credibility to this fake briefing...

Bush and his appointees have told so many lies, they start to seem like reality. The FEMA mock press conference, ironically, was an effort to wipe mud from the face of the agency after Katrina.

The lies just keep coming-- at the FDA, a corrupt, former "watchdog" agency filled with Bush appointees who regularly shill for the pharmaceutical industry. An out-to-lunch EPA which actually increased the mercury permissible in our skies.

A border patrol which doesn''t patrol our border, a transportation safety agency which doesn''t secure our airports...

Bush led by example-- asleep at the switdh at 901, a bogus case for invading Iraq, a bogus link between 911 and Iraq, lies about national security in order to spy illegally on US citizens.

The Bush regime digs its hole in history ever deeper. The GOP ought to be ashamed, except it hasn''t any higher aspirations, itself.

May as well. It''s not much different than the network news. Must be the main stream media is afraid of losing their government contracts?

The American public has gotten so used to corruption, incompetence, failure, and general uselessness from our public officials that they have become utterly shameless.

It is tempting to think so, but I also think that Americans are angry, but lack a rallying figure to stand up and make the call. Not like Kucinich, who did it inside the "machine", basically unseen by the public, but with a high profile media campaign preceding it, ala the illegal invasions, where the violations of law are clearly laid out, and both pro and con respond to the points.

Whoever anchors the media blitz can then become a central figure, the one to "push the button" so to speak, calling for demonstrations and such, until the political pressure becomes too great for the politicians to bear.

We will have to wake the giant of civil disobedience, as we did in the 60s, because we are, like then, bringing down a criminal president, and it will take a similar amount of pressure for it to happen again.

"Knocke blamed bad decision-making and a rush to get out information about wildfires that were raging in southern California."

..."reporters were given 15 minutes'' notice"...

How many "real" reporters did they expect to attend on 15 minutes notice?

Makes you wonder how these people ever got the job in the first place.....
