Its a product of the Kennedy assasination - previously reporters did not follow the president unless they found something noteworthy on his schedule, now they're there no matter what.

Maybe they're in a pissing contest with the IndiaDaily over who can supply the world with the most mundane, useless information possible.

Yep, the fiery citrus hit the nail on the head. When JFK was killed, there was nobody there from the press - they missed one of the biggest events of the century and had to rely on Zapruder's shaky home-movies and eye-witness accounts to document it.

Since then, there's been a deal within the major press corps to constantly monitor the President - it's a shared responsibility to ensure that there's always a professional newsteam with him. If, in fact, the President finds himself cloistered for more than a day or so, he'll typically be taken outside and walked around by his staff so the world can see that everything's OK.

If you look, you can probably find a report filed somewhere by the Pres-watcher staff for just about every day for the last thirty years. They're reporters after all - it they're on the job they may as well write about it, even if nobody's all that interested.

Don't believe the liberal media. Wait for the Fox News version before you make up your mind on what really happened.

It's safer to report on Dubya walking into a church than the casualties in Iraq, at a guess.

Thats awsome.

"Have you got a scoop?"
"Yeah, yeah, I got one, killer angle too."
"What?"
"Ok brace yourself...George W Bus rode a bike today, oh yeah."
"NO!"
"YES!"
"What are your sources? Are they reliable?"
"Photos man, I got PHOTOS!"
"Oh my god, the public must know!"
