I heard WSB Atlanta’s Jamie Dupree, a bona fide member of the media, talking about getting the Heisman from the White House and found an account of it on his blog:
I emailed Deputy White House Press Secretary Reid Cherlin, who was quoted extensively in a story in Saturday’s New York Times, and asked if I could get the information emailed to me.
“Where are you seeing that I distributed “talking points”?” Cherlin replied somewhat huffily to me by email.
He then went on to say that “having never worked with you or heard from you before, I don’t think it’s unreasonable that I didn’t send anything to you.”
Hmmm.
I guess I hit a nerve by having the nerve to ask for information from the White House Press Office.
At least he didn’t give me a Serena Williams reply.
