Ari Laughed-Off the Stage
28-Feb-03
Ari Fleischer, White House spokesman, gets an unintended laugh at the end of his press briefing, when he responds to a reporter asking about any possible deals being made with nations in return for their support of the US war against Iraq. "Think about the implications of what you are saying. You are saying that the leaders of other nations are buyable, and that is not an acceptable proposition." This got big yucks from the press corps. Listen for someone saying "Laughed off the stage" at the end. Press play to hear for yourself. I heard this on Democracy Now the other morning.
