Patience With Les Kinsolving Is Wearing Thin
From today’s WH Press Briefing:
Q Thank you, Tony. Two questions. The AP reports that Sydney, Australia’s Lord Mayor, Clover Moore, is leading a campaign urging all residents to pack an emergency survival kit in preparation for any terrorist attack or other disaster in Australia’s largest city. And my question — does the White House believe that this is a campaign U.S. cities should be launching, or not?
MR. SNOW: That would be something that I would not be privy to comment on. And, Les, let me just — before we get back into a situation where it will be more difficult to get called on, let me just point out that you need to ask questions that bear on the President’s responsibilities. I saw the piece you wrote the other day, that has been thoroughly twisting out of context the answer I gave you when I told you that the President, in fact, was –
Q That’s what –
MR. SNOW: I don’t care. What you did –
Q They wrote it out there.
MR. SNOW: You know what, I don’t care, okay, because the fact is, if somebody is going to take questions about things that do not fall under the President’s purview — and I answered that question — and it gets twisted, that is a disservice to this White House and to the craft of journalism. So if I were you, I’d pick up the phone and tell them to start cleaning up or writing corrections.
What’s your next question?
