As George W Bush joined the last daily breifing in the WH press room
which will undergo a nine month renovation, he spent a moment to take
some questions.
A reporter shouted:
"Mr President, should Mel Gibson be forgiven?"
The President laughed and looked into the audience to see who shouted
the remark:
THE PRESIDENT: Is that Sam Donaldson? (Laughter.) Forget it. You're
a has-been. We don't have to answer has-been's questions.
QUESTION: Ohhhhh!
Q Mr. President, do you want to say a little about the White House
press corps, please?
THE PRESIDENT: Say something about the White House press corps?
Q Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: It's a beautiful bunch of people. (Laughter.)
Q How about your best moment in here, sir? Can you remember your --
THE PRESIDENT: My best moment in here is when my press conference
ended. (Laughter.)
Q (Inaudible) -- about Mel Gibson --
THE PRESIDENT: I can't hear you, I'm over 60, just like you.
(Laughter.)
Q -- Ronald Reagan could get away with that, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: He was over 60, as well. At any rate, as you can tell,
I'm thrilled to be here.
