Kurtz komments on konference:

Howard Kurtz is a regular guest on the Hugh Hewitt radio show. This Friday, he was talking about Bush's press conference, where he said:

"It's the job of the White House correspondents to ask tough questions. That's why they're there. I think the President benefited from some of that outright skepticism in Terry Moran's question, Bill Plant of CBS, and some others. Because it's sort of like an athlete getting up to the plate and having to hit major leagut pitching. The harder the question, the more that he was able to set his jaw and look into the camera and say, "It's my job to protect this country, and I'm not going to wait until it's too late."

(Sorry, no link. We taped this exchange off-the-air, and transcribed the remarks.)
