Ballsy Journalism Watch, Part 1

We should've officially started this series a while back, since we've been posting WH press briefing excerpts now and then in which journalists get all up in Scottie's grill 'n shit. Andrew Sullivan has an excerpt from a recent briefing (gaggle?). In it, ABC News' Chief White House Correspondent Terry Moran asks Scott McClellan what the evidence is for the Iraqi insurgency being in its "last throes." Best line: "Is there any idea how long a 'last throe' lasts for?"
