Haha, good stuff. Chinese officials wouldn't let any American press into the meeting, Gibbs got pissed. Video in the article.

:D Shame the rest of the world will view this as typical american arrogance instead of realizing it is administration arrogance.

I'd like to know the full story. Did any American press get in? Or just that Gibb's favorite press didn't get in?

sidenote:

I noticed his comment on the lead-in that it was a "bit of of kerfuffle, if you will". That almost made it sound like he said it off the cuff. Who uses that word? Then the title at the bottom is Copenhagen Kerfuffle. Nothing these clowns say is unscripted, or can be taken as such. It all comes through a voice in the ear or over the teleprompter.

So unfair, this is no way to treat reps of world's richest nation and strongest military power.

Shakespeare would love to have the actors from American politics in his theater. One must realize that politics is acting especially at this high of a level. Copenhagen, acting, Health care reform acting. There was never any doubt from me that health care reform wouldn't pass, they must simply put on the show for those who believe in the system.
