During last night's White House press conference, the president fielded 13 questions. The first two went to wire services (AP and Reuters). Then came the networks (CBS, NBC, Bloomberg, ABC, CNN and Fox News), and print (New York Times, Washington Post, and Hearst). NPR got the last question, but between Helen Thomas and Mara Liasson, Obama raised a few eyebrows when he said, "Sam Stein, Huffington Post."Although not the first blogger to ask a question at a Presidential press conference, that honor goes to George Bush asking planted male prostitute Jeff Gannon aka James Guckert in 2005.
