Here's the thing I don't get about Gannon/Guckert: why? I mean, also of course how'd he get a press pass? Who knew about it and when? But what gets me is, what the hell were they thinking? Was there an outside source wanting to lob softballs, or was someone in the administration directly involved in the setting up of the softballs? Or does he just really like Bush? Whose idea was this? And why'd they come up with such a distressingly bad one? I mean, it was a disaster waiting to happen -- who benefits from this whole thing? Not Bush. Not the GOP. And definitely not Guckert. So I'm not seeing the why. Anybody?
