D.R. admirer: freerepublic.com one reply to the post: The press is now operating in Saturday Night Live Parody mode. If you'll remember back to the Gulf War, SNL ran a parody briefing in which reporters axed questions of "the general." Questions such are, "General, which military secrets are we of greatest risk of losing to the Iraqis?" "General, if there's one point in our attack where we're most vulnerable to Iraq, where would that be?" "General, at what time and exactly where do you plan to strike, and can you give us a precise troop count in the attacking force?" "General, can you provide a specific time frame when the photo-recon satellites are overhead?" "General, what time do you anticipate bombing Saddam Hussein and which palace will you be bombing?" "General, this is not for broadcast, just on broad background (every cameraman in the room zooms in, flashes popping, scribes furiously taking notes) can you draw us a map of the precise troop movements you plan to use?" It was a parody then. They do it every day in real life now. Eight years of X42(i) have made them think that they'd actually get an answer. Saturday Night Live doesn't need to do a parody of them. All they need to do is run the actual press conferences. Michael
