Just a reminded that the "collective pair" can be either intra or extra abdominal. I'm intrigued by the idea of a national boycott on daily briefings by the major networks and press until Scott stops being so uncooperative and obstructionist. The White House folks keep forgetting they are there to serve the people, not themselves.
Heck, they are on C-span anyhow so everyone could still keep an eye on what is going on. News seldom comes out of the briefings anyhow so let them stew in their own juices. The reporters could be out doing something really useful like investigating, following leads, getting underneath what the politicians are trying to force feed us and discover the real truths. Now THAT would be a public service.
In addition, they would all burn a few more calories and get some fresh air which might expand their thinking a bit. There has been many things going on since Bush was elected which the press never even discovered or knew and was too lazy or afraid to report. Doesn't give one much conficence in the press as an institution.
