White House to reporters: Don't expect an invitation to Bush wedding
The White House today dashed the hopes of reporters hoping to get a last-minute invitation to the wedding this weekend at President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas.
"I would reduce your level of concern and be assured that there will be absolutely no readout of the wedding, whatsoever," spokesman Gordon Johndroe tells reporters flying with the president to Texas. "This really is a private event for the family. If we can — if the family decides — and I think they may — on Sunday to release a couple of photos of the ceremony, then we will certainly provide those to you. But otherwise, I think the activities of the weekend are going to be a really private celebration for Jenna [Bush] and Henry [Hager]’s family and friends."
USA TODAY’s Maria Puente wrote about the nuptials in this morning’s newspaper.

Same old same old. They’ll be long out of office and probably off the planet by the time the reality strikes. so why should they care?

both. The staff at both places, the co-workers at both places should see how we feel.

On the broader issue why does every reporter let the administration talk about issues only on their terms? They say that they DO NOT TORTURE, but that is based only on THEIR Definition of torture. Not the definition by the UN, US Law or any international Consensus. Only by John “Dr. Yes” Yoo’s Definition. Why doesn’t any one call them on this?!?!?

That’s Helen Thomas. She always asks serious questions. This is nothing new.

Thx for the update.I’d be OK with a new scholarship for investigative journalism. And the people at e.g. the Knight Foundation really seem to get it (not that they need our money).
