I Am Not A Potted Plante

CBS WH correspondent Bill Plante's cell phone rings interrupting yesterday's nasty WH press briefing. Press Sec Robert Gibbs has already confiscated another scribe's ringing phone.

Plante: "Gibbs wants to take my phone... I'll explain later." Plante refuses to hand it over and leaves the room.
Gibbs to Plante: "I assume it's a banker with a suit like that. Sorry, this is cotton candy down the street. It's a circus."

And, my man, you're the circus master...

What was the subject before the room erupted in laughter? Obama's reversal on his decision to release those terrorist abuse photos.



Those against releasing those abuse photos argued it would inflame Muslims. Obama connected the dots and decided it was not prudent with that June trip to the Middle East to meet with Muslims.

  1. So no one in the news room ever heard of the term vibrate? IT 101.

  3. Nice one, Marty! Not that it applies to me, of course. I always come with batteries included. (Which can be really messy).
