everything i know was a nice guy. he didn t insult reporters. he didn t shake his head and speak nasty to reporters. much less about political opponents. he s a hatchet man from the republican national committee. he did a good job being a hatchet man but when you re press secretary and you make as mistake like that you say i m sorry, it s in the context of a nasty guy. so crisis management is about having credibility, likability, people give you some slack when you say i m sorry not just because you say the words as he did on wolf blitzer but there s a context you believe the words. because of his history of the way he is disrespectful to reporters, much less anybody that disagrees with him like a democrat, you don t give him any slack and i don t give him any slack. he s in the wrong job and should go somewhere else. lanny, i think it is one of it s probably as difficult, if not more difficult than the presidency itself, i have to say, and now all of a sudden i m going to defe
