#2 Shit like this stops if the Whitehouse had the huevos to revoke press passes. The inmates to not run the asylum.

#3 It's a question of pressure. Roberts just didn't have the time to manufacture a memo saying bad things about Judge Alito, so he reverted to high school.

#4 âSloppy secondsâ! Ha! I'll have to remember that one for when I get back stateside as a legend in journalism. Kinda like Walter Duranty.
Turn up the tube, Achmed. Gotta catch up on the war news. And bring me another double...

#5 That phrase would have been appropriate for the Clinton white house.

#6 "After my 4 1/2 years covering the Bush White House, I couldn't imagine the name 'John Roberts' and the phrase 'widely admired for his intellect, his sound judgment and his personal decency' being used in the same time zone, let alone the same sentence." -- CBS's John Roberts , on the strangeness of covering the Supreme Court nomination of John Roberts. At least he acknowledges that he is a worthless tit.

#8 I don't think you realise quite how rude that is in the UK.

#9 The proper response would have been an aside to an assistant, "Have the Marines escort Mr. Roberts to the street." Back to the reporters, "Next question."

#10 It's equally rude in the U. S.

#11 The White House better pull this jackass'es press cred's or lost all respectability if you ask me.

"Oh, your CBS? Sorry but only the press is invited - you will have to sit outside the white house fence...."

#13 Let me rephrase that:

"Oh, your CBS? Sorry but only the press is invited - you will have to sit outside the Whitehouse fence and get sloppy seconds...."

#14 Fox reported a few minutes ago that Roberts has apologized to McClellan for his "unfortunate" choice of words.

Yep. yewbetcha. Pull his pass.

#15 I'm with #9.

#16 Was it just me, or did the Conservative boys on FNC comment that the reason for the Lefties going after DICK CHENEY was to divert and protect anyone from finding out about Bill's former Veep AL GORE AND DER HILLARY???

#17 I'll go with #9 as well. He needed his stuff put in the street following a low class, sophmoric comment like that. I wonder how many parents are having a difficult time explaining what he was talking about to their young kids.
