Jen Psaki reminds me of when that was my daily beat. I miss it sometimes. Would be fun to find my way back to the briefing room again the future."

1. that is cool

it would be an honor to meet the legend

2. Cool!!

But why does she say she “might regret” it?

4. Cause he might stand up and ask tough, Dan Rather-like questions I think is the jest (nt)

10. That's what I assumed

[Duppers]

3. We would LOVE to see that!

5. I don't like him

He's always got those 'folksy Texan sayings'.

My mother and her side of my family were Texan and I never heard them talk like that.
I find it offensive.

7. Seriously?

Offensive?

8. He's just being himself.

9. I'm a Texan and I love him and find him charming.

I guess it just depends on what nook and cranny you are from and which socio-economic class you spring from. I’m from the folksy sayings (colloquialisms) yarn spinning Texan kin.

6. Are they going to give him a credential and let him ask a question?

That would be fun.

And probably make wingnuts heads explode. Esp. if they call on Dan and not the Faux person that day.

Which would be maybe even more fun.

Also, she didn't invite him to the 'next press briefing', she invited him to ALL of them

11. Dan Rather can be the new Helen Thomas.
