    This Week In Pool Reports

    By Patrick on March 30, 2007 4:55 PM

    Mixed emotions this week in the pool between the news of Tony Snow and Wednesday night’s festivities. FLOTUS makes a fashion faux pas and John Boehner has a little trouble with the letter “G”.

  • “FLOTUS wore a shimmering purple/green dress — which the pool will bet dollars-to-doughnuts is the same dress she wore to last year’s Library of Congress National Book Festival gala (which just so happens to be the last time this pooler was pool for a black tie event.) Thankfully, no other attendees were also wearing it.” — Ian Bishop, New York Post

  • “As the First Couple waited off stage during the pre-dinner mingling period, DNC chief Howard Dean chatted away with folks. GOP co-boss Mel Martinez, less than 20 feet away, stood alone behind his chair at table #95, nursing a glass of red wine. ‘It’s been a long day,’ Martinez quipped. Ten minutes later they were sitting together at the same table, separated by Tim Russert.” — Bishop

  • “President Bush said he got a call from Tony Snow, 51, who was resting at the hospital. POTUS was informed that Snow’s cancer had returned. ‘He told me that when they went in and operated on him they found cancer. It’s a recurrence of the cancer that he thought that he had successfully dealt with in the past. His attitude is, one, that he is not going to let this whip him, and he’s upbeat. My attitude is, is what we need to pray for him, and for his family,’ Bush said, adding that he’s looking forward to his spokesman returning to the White House after he rebounds.” — Kenneth R. Bazinet, Daily News

  • “Mystery of the day: What WERE they talking about?? Bush and House speaker Nancy Pelosi engaged in a lengthy — about 15 minutes — and animated conversation at the outset of the ceremony, before the speechifying had begun, as the airmen filed into the Rotunda. He arched his eyebrows at times; she gesticulated. They leaned toward one another, then back, laughing at times, appearing serious at others. Much comment in the press corps about whether they were cutting a deal, or arguing over, the Iraq supplemental.” — Sheryl Stolberg, New York Times

  • “John Boehner, the House Republican leader, mispronounced Tuskegee throughout his speech, creating some awkward tension in the audience. He said Tuskee-gee, with a soft G, as in gee whiz. People tittered, but the full extent of the embarrassment did not become clear until Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, rose to follow him. McConnell stood up and quickly pronounced Tuskegee correctly, and with great emphasis, drawing a huge cheer from the crowd.” — Stolberg

    Taking Out The Trash, 03.15.07

    By Patrick on March 15, 2007 9:06 AM

  • Imus is not a big hit among media folk.

  • Politico’s Ben Smith reports that it isn’t just the Nevada Democrats who are on the anti-Fox bandwagon. The CBC Political Education and Leadership Institute is has jumped on too.

  • In the wake of the Libby trial, Jack Shafer notes, “The press (including me) may have overreacted in regarding special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald as some sort of Torquemada, and our fears of a shredded First Amendment are starting to look a little overwrought.”

  • From DCRTV:

      XM Ups Straley – 3/14 – DC-based XM Satellite Radio promotes Kevin Straley to senior VP of news, talk, and sports programming. He had been VP for talk programming. Before joining XM in 2001, Straley was program director for Boston talker WRKO…..


  • “Silent treatment: Solving the press’s credit problem”

  • “Media Fight Request to Close Parts of Israel Lobbyists’ Trial”

  • “Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, …confessed to the beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.”

  • More on TMZDC.com…

  • “Coming newspaper wars: The freebies”

  • This blogger weighs in (not positively) on the Politico.

  • “‘Fair & Balanced’ Could Enter Hall of Fame”

  • The Associated Press reports that Charles Forelle, James Bandler and Mark Maremont from The Wall Street Journal won this year’s Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting for their expose on top business executives who manipulated stock options to reward themselves massive payouts. The prize is $25,000. NPR’s Daniel Schorr won the Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism.

  • A reader notes that yesterday was the first day in more than a week that Jeanne Cummings was not on Politico’s front page.

  • Wired News and NewAssignment.net announced the launch of Assignment Zero yesterday, “an attempt to bring together professional writers and editors with citizen journalists to collaborate on reporting and writing about the rise of crowdsourcing on the Web.” Jay Rosen is serving as executive editor. The Washington Post’s Joel Achenbach describes it as “a bit like Wikipedia-meets-Woodward-and-Bernstein.” (Hat Tip: Romenesko)

  • Dude, did the Politico hire the same voice artist that did that Geico ad for their new video?

  • A reader asks, “So… I don’t get it. Are you suggesting that if City Paper wrote a story (on a somewhat pegless, evergreen topic) that The Washington Post shouldn’t even bother? Can’t tell, you might just be joking, but it’s a mentality that affects too many journalists as it is, prompting them to talk themselves out of stories they really should be writing because they don’t want to make the six or seven people who actually read both sources to think that they’re behind the curve. Who loses? The average readers.”

  • A reader weighs in on Politico’s chat: “I find it really annoying that the politico chat was upside down. Reading from the bottom up annoys me.”

  • The Washington Examiner is hiring a Payroll Coordinator and a Sales Assistant.

  • Congressional Quarterly is hiring a User Interface Designer and Developer.

  • Fox News Channel is hiring a producer for their Washington DC bureau.

  • Marketing Associate, Atlantic Media Company

  • Web Developer, U.S. News & World Report
