Fleischer Laughed Off Stage By White House Reporters

Fleischer Laughed Off
Stage By White House Reporters
From Kerry Hart
2-27-3

After taking Bush stenography for more than 2 years, White House reporters may be finally awakening from their collective coma.

This week's most important story is Bush's efforts to buy a majority of votes on the U.N. Security Council. But when reporters pressed Ari about the terms of these deals, Ari feigned pure unadulterated outrage.

"I haven't seen the story. And you already have the answer, about what this will be decided on. But think about the implications of what you're saying. You're saying that the leaders of other nations are buyable. And that is not an acceptable proposition."

Suddenly, a remarkable thing happened - the reporters LAUGHED. They laughed LOUD. And they laughed so loud that Ari turned on his heels and marched right off the stage.

Will this be reported? Will reporters follow up on Bush's global vote-buying effort? Will this be the LIE that broke the camel's back? Stay tuned!

I think somebody in the background said something to cause everyone to laugh-- but it is not in the transcript. Something is remotely audible though, can anyone tell what it is?
