Jeff Gannon, We Hardly Knew Ye

I nabbed an exclusive interview that we'll be publishing a transcript of later this afternoon. Today is also the first day of FiveThirtyEight covering the White House.

Make. Announce. Type.

don't get any notions about being the intrepid White House report with the courage to take on the administration, you know, fiction

Can we get audio?

Mark said...

Impressive!

White House? Nice.

Hey, can you put tons of laxatives in Jonathan Martin from Politicos' drinks every time you run into him. That piece of garbage reporter from Politico that came over from National Review constantly tries to create his own narrative that is destructive to this country.

He is everything that is wrong with journalists.

What questions will you ask?

fred said...

How are you gonna get a fresh scoop in that pile of reporters?

Find the scoop out in the trenches - hit the agencies where no reporter ever treads.

Spherical Time said...

Wow. That's sort of a big deal. Congrats!

Statler N Waldorf said...

Damn, Nate! Congrats!

Maybe Jeff can ask about why support for the stimulus package is PLUMMETING!

Holy Porkulous Batman, those waskully Wepublicans have won the debate and now the American people wish that they could have a "do over" on the election. They may have elected Obama, but they would not have given the dems such control of congress.

Here it is courtesy of Rasmussen:

"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 37% favor the legislation, 43% are opposed, and 20% are not sure."

Holy jeepers Batman, that's change you can believe in.

Can you ask Gibbs if Howard Dean is on the short list for HHS?

and congratulations!

I think it's great that you guys are in there. Maybe we'll get some analysis that's actually thought through for a change.

The entire problem with the US today is accountability. Nobody even knows how to make somebody accountable. A corrupt CEO? A horrible piece of journalism? Absolutely no punishment of any kind. Even Madoff is barely being held to task.

Until we find an effective way to punish miscreants, nothing will change.

My Personal Policy Dreams:

- Salary cap on execs who take Govt handouts: DONE!

- No foreign ownership of American media companies: (Bye bye Murdock, you treasonous bastard)

- Five year lock on medical coverage costs: (Get coverage and know the cost can't change for next 5 years, giving my small business a chance to actually plan expenses)

- Large infrastructure only spending bill passed through congress: (Actual jobs! tax cuts don't help the unemployed)

Obama could use his own Jeff Gannon. If you don't want it, I'm available!
Rock on, brother!

Michael said...

O Jack B Nimble: you managed to put Batman and Elmer Fudd into your incisive analysis. Thank you!

Brian Crounse said...

A triumph of the meritocracy.

Redshift said...

Jack-be-nimble -- I guess you don't actually read FiveThirtyEight, or you wouldn't be posting off-topic comments parroting stale talking points that were addressed in a post here just yesterday.

Jason: Murdoch's a US Citizen.

Orangutan. said...

Ask the boys if Governor Howard Dean would be qualified as Health & Human Services Secretary.

Statler N Waldorf said...

Ben,

You do realize Gannon was a prostitute (literally) before he was a 'journalist'.

Are you really sure you want the job? The pre-requisite involves selling your body to creepy Republicans that want a little discrete play nobody will ever find out about.

And I thought the graduation requirements at my school were tough.

RivierRatt said...

@Chris:

"Jason: Murdoch's a US Citizen."

I think he was referring to the fact that Murdoch was born on a different planet, in a different galaxy, and has shape-shifted his way into controlling the world media. Say it with me, bruthas: Media owners should be human first. Human first!

This just in from our WH corespondent...

Lord Growing said...

Well, Sean, all the credentials in the world won't keep people from calling you Nate.

RufusRules said...

we'll be publishing a transcript of later this afternoon

So, where is it?

Type faster, Sean!

SO ... WHAT?

It won't be more fun that driving around the country checking the GOTV in various cities and towns during the run up to election day. Nope ... Although sitting on one's own ass in the media queue won't be as tiring, it won't be as much fun.
