Ser Scot A Ellison Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 duckman, I've never seen the press screaming questions at an awards ceremony. If the press is barred they aren't even letting them in to watch and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyP Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Oh Geez, it's more funny than anything and Shryke struggles to care. How about laugh at the absurdity of it all. I mean damn he doesn't have to have a presser. Just fucking accept the award, say a few nice words about the value of African American journalist and let the press take some photos. It makes him look good, it puts the organization he is speaking to some nice pub and everyone is happy. Instead we get the no press at the press award.

Holbrooke, a veteran diplomat who is now the administration's point man on Pakistan and Afghanistan, served on the board between 2001 and mid-2008. During that period, AIG undertook the aggressive investment strategies that led to a near-collapse and forced a multibillion-dollar federal bailout.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
