Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin & My Skip Gates Question

Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin are entitled to their opinions, which they have plenty of -- in this case about President Obama and his reaction to the arrest of Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. by Cambridge Police Sgt. James Crowley. They are not, however, to paraphrase the late Sen. Patrick Moynihan, entitled to their own facts, or entitled to invent a scenario in which the White House somehow prompted me to ask Obama about Gates at his press conference last week.

Ann, Michelle, can we get a beer on this? I'll pay. I'll take an Amstel Light. What are your brews? Because gals, you need to look elsewhere for a new conspiracy. Coulter said on FOX News that Obama "had that question planted." She added, "I do have proof." On NBC's "Today Show" on Wednesday morning, host Matt Lauer, asked Malkin, "Do you think this was a planned question?" Replied Malkin, "Absolutely do."

Joe, I didn't know you were a white house reporter. Less cut and paste please.

Of course you would say that...Obama is never ever aware of the questions he is asked beforehand, what the heck does the teleprompter think?

"White House press secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed on Wednesday that Obama will be drinking Bud Light, Gates will have a Red Stripe and Crowley will be downing a Blue Moon."

How about some "Ripple" as a chaser?

Seriously 4:51? That wasn't racist at all. Good thing this blog doesn't allow racists.

the question was sooooo far off topic. the news conf. was supposed to be about health care speech he had just given. presbo won't answer questions he doesn't know are coming.

Seriously 7:37pm-where in the comment is there an even slight hint of racism? The suggestion that the White House has advance notice of the questions being asked and picks and chooses is not racist. The teleprompter comment doesn't even refer to whether the big screen behing the reporters on the wall is from Japan, China or Taiwan. I fail to see your logic. Just because something was said about the President, doesn't make it a racist comment. Go look up "racism" and do yourself a favor, know what you are talking about before you post.
