Yeah, but when Nixon did it, we were told by wingnuts,

"So what? Everybody does it."

So, my response to you is;

So what? Everybody does it.

The only difference between this event and the umpteen thousand similar events that happened before it -- is we heard about this one.

As if message control was never a big issue until yesterday. Shiiiitttt.

Doubtful. Reporters, particularly WH Press corp types, protect their own because they know that if it happens to one it can happen to all. Also, to put this in perspective, to evoke press credentials of a member of the WH press corp would be the rough equivalent of revoking an attorney's license to practice law. This is because their value to the news organization they work for would be severely diminished.

So, should I chalk you up as yes vote number 3?

It's Obama, so it's no big deal.

I believe the White House is glad for this blow up about "misunderstanding" becuse it drowns discussion on the oringinal absurdity....not deploying because of a budget document.

Very smart of them!

This guy has huge credibility with Dems and Independents.
Really? I have always though he let Watergate go to his head and he has become a self-important ahole, or should that be self-impotent.
