It would be funny if it weren't true....

For shame, the rest in the room stick to the script, when they should have continued to eviscerate her on that point.:(

Thank you for sharing!

It's like a late night comedy skit- she breaks character and starts smiling blowing the bit, then jumps right back into it.

Pretty disgusting.

That reporter doing his job well there now has my attention, thanks again.

I watch the State Department press briefing every day. I've got a lot respect for Matt Lee, who is actually the Dean of the State Dept. Press Corps, I believe.

There's no better source of entertainment for me than watching him really go to town on whoever is standing on the podium. At the same time, he is very fair and responsible, and will work with the spokesperson, giving them a way out if they said something incorrectly that would have otherwise spiraled out of control in the press, etc (so he isn't just a drama queen).

There are many other journalists there who are excellent as well; it's the White House Press Corps who are the ones that really take the cake for acting like domicile dogs.

So the talk has changed from "evil terrorists" to "evil regimes" but its still the same song and dance.

Yes, she's not going to get into.... any of that basic common sense stuff.

Matt Lee - 1

State Department - 0

Nice. I feel his pain.

Nice. For those without video:

Reporter asks why we listen to humanrightswatch.org regarding Syria but ignore them regarding Isreal.
