Gannon - "just as legitimate as some of the fringe organizations in the room."

The title of this post is an astonishing verbatim "how the phuck can he say THAT" quote taken directly from Ari Fleischer's interview with "Editor and Publisher" regarding Gannongate. I'm utterly appalled. To downplay the insult of this jerk's credentialing inappropriately downplays...oh, screw it...Guckert's a perv. No matter what weirdly indignant flip-floppy (no pun intended) conservatives with a big "C" might say, guys like JD shouldn't get anywhere near the White House press briefing room. Yet Ari's offhanded dismissal of this growing story and the terrible implications of letting someone as despicable as Guckert into the White House is enough to make me reluctantly miss that deplorable lunkhead. Ari was incomparably threatening to American freedoms, time and time and time again. Yet...at least he dished some marginally-fascist, usable quotes every fortnight or so. Scott McClellan, on the entirely other hand, should be exiled back to Austin just for being such an insufferable, inconsiderate, uninteresting bore. If he were any more impossible to watch, he'd be a sitcom on CBS. Rimshot.
