So why does the White House even have a press secretary?

Dana Perino is arguably the biggest tool out of all the press secretaries that the Bush Administration has gone through. Instead of “Press Secretary,” they should change her title to “Information Gatekeeper.” She never offers any useful information, just parrots what the administration wants her to say.

Now I understand that it’s pretty much her job to do that. But when it’s so blatantly obvious that the press isn’t going to get any useful information from her, why do they even show up anymore?

Take, for example, Ms. Perino talking (or refusing to talk) about the state of the dollar. She doesn’t offer any ideas at all, just says she’ll get fired if she says too much. Nice.

I propose that the media stop attending these bullshit events at all. Not that it will do anyone any good, but attending the press events doesn’t do anyone any good either.
