    Just say that you grant that Reagan personally won the Cold War when he, as president, carried forth a decades-old arms race started by others and it came to its conclusion during his terms. if so, he won the cold war by defeating his enemies. You don't get peace prizes for creating peace by defeating your enemy. You get such prizes for gaining peace through negotiation.

    @The Curse of Millhaven: Or through deciding to end a conflict even when it means defeat. See: Gorbachev, Mikhail (also listed under Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Leader Who Actually Ended Cold War).

    Funny how Jim Newell wrote that entire post about the video clip, somehow never grasping that Gibbs was talking right to him.

    Gibbs: "I think it should be mandatory that pundits spend certain amounts of their days each outside of the friendly confines of the viewership of the Washinton, D.C., media market."

    Umm, can we say Iran-Contra? Along with other meddling in the Iran-Iraq war and the Afghan wars with the USSR. How about Grenada?

    @NightElfMohawk: Bombing Libya in 1986? That whole Korean Air Lines Flight 007 debacle in 1983 that brought US once again on the brink of actual confrontation with the USSR? ..And though G. H. W. Bush was technically in charge during the "Operation Just Cause" in Panama in 1989, I still place some of the blame on Reagan.

    Coming from these guys, none of the hostility/idiocy was so surprising. What was surprising was that Helen Thomas seemed to be sleeping through most of the press conference.

    I'm tempted to point out that the press seems to have found some sort of balls to ask a president tough questions, then I remember that the jackass who used to have the office didn't actually take questions for the first three years of his term.

    @optical_allusion: Chuck Todd, too. An inane question posed ineptly. After the campaign, I want to love Todd, but his live shots are awkward and his voice-overs unnatural. I know it's early in his own White House career, but not that early.

    Ed Henry's Cuomo question would have been good if it wasn't sandwiched in between a bunch of crap.


    Is it possible to ask a multiple-part question without coming off as an irritating d-bag? I'm skeptical.

    I'm surprised that the ABC correspondent asking about race didn't make it onto this list. Questions that focus on the historical nature of Obama's presidency should have climaxed the week of inauguration and passed out promptly thereafter. I will read about his thoughts on race in his memoirs ten years from now, which is about the time that I hope to be able to afford a hardcover book again. Right now, I want questions that ask him if he's doing his job, and I want answers that replace the nauseated feeling in my stomach with a warm and fuzzy one.

    @GeraldineHyperion: Yes! I was watching him earlier during the news conference and thinking that in my world, at least, his race is no longer part of the discussion. And then along comes ABC . . .

    Multiple part questioned never get answered properly, so you almost never ask them. J-school 101?
