Gannon writes about his buddy on his
site today:
White House correspondent Les Kinsolving, who is
recovering from triple-bypass surgery following a January heart attack, wrote of
the colorful history of the Washington press corps, for World Net Daily in
2002.
STORY I
send my best wishes and continued prayers to Les and his wonderful wife.
Apparently Les Kinsolving is a reporter for the
right wing web site, World Net Daily. He started for them in June 2002 and
perhaps already had a permanent pass from previous work. It is difficult to see
how World Net Daily is any different from Talon News and GOPUSA. But he was
already established by other organizations and is fourth in seniority:
AS A WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT beginning
in the last year of Richard Nixon, and now fourth in seniority, Les has
questioned every president since. Sample:
-
QUESTION: "Mr.
President, will your crime commission investigate Bob Woodward's televised
announcement that at the Washington Post there are 40 hardened users of
cocaine?... or are you inclined to sluff off here -- because this explains a
lot of what goes into the Washington Post?"
-
PRESIDENT REAGAN:
"You're tempting me -- almost beyond my strength!"
