"America
loathes the White House press corps. This
is especially true when the journalists preen
for the television cameras, yell at the press
secretary to achieve a dramatic effect, act
bratty and petulant, appear openly disrespectful
to the president and the vice president and
generally behave like unruly 5-year-old children
playing in a sandbox."
--Jon
Friedman, columnist, MarketWatch, reviewing
journalists' confrontations with White House
Press Secretary Scott McClellan over the Cheney
hunting accident, 2006
