No talking!
OK, am I insane for being particularly irked about this?
Apparently, during the President's recent visit to Maine, a reporter for a Rhode Island TV channel had his press pass taken away after he shouted "Mr. President" at the entourage.
"A member of the president’s entourage pointed at Holbrook after he first tried to get Mr. Bush’s attention. The man then ripped the pass from Holbrook’s belt after he shouted again to the president, who was about 10 feet away," that paper said, adding that members of the media were not told they could not ask the president questions (emphasis mine).
I'm sorry, but that's insane. I can seeing telling the press the President won't be answering any questions, but when did we get to point where the President could order the media not to speak to him? How on earth is that legal?
