Stop Drop and Remove Foot

CBS White House reporter Bill Plante laments: "But if it were up to Dick Cheney, he wouldn't tell us if our shirts were on fire, for heaven's sake."

There are so many comments that COULD be made about this off the cuff whine, but I'm not sure there's enough bandwidth. I would like to point out, however, that a reporter's job is to find and report the story, not have it spoon fed to him like a toddler gobbling mashed peas. Come to think of it, some of what we've been reading in newspapers and seeing on network news closely resembles those same mashed peas once the toddler has "processed" them.

Scarlett Says: Psst, Bill, you've already crashed and burned.
