Bianca, Come Out and Plaaaay!
Seems like our esteemed Prez is looking for a woman named Bianca.
Check out this portion of the transcript from Bush's press conference today:
Bianca. Nobody named Bianca? Well, sorry Bianca's not here. I'll be glad to answer her question.
Q I'll follow up.
THE PRESIDENT: No, that's fine. (Laughter.) Thank you though, appreciate it. Just trying to spread around the joy of asking a question.
Q How is the strategy outlined today by General Casey different from what the United States was doing in the past? What lessons would you say have been incorporated in it? And based on that, how much closer do you think we are to being able to turn over full control of the security situation?
THE PRESIDENT: It's going to be a while to turn over full control. Full control says that the Iraqis are capable of moving around the country and sharing intelligence and they got a command control system that works like ours, and that's going to be a while. Turning over some control to Iraqis is now taking place. As I told you, there are more Iraqis in the lead -- Iraqis are in the lead in this mission for the first time on a major operation.
What General Casey briefed us on was how our strategy of cleaning out the terrorists out of a city and being able to fill in behind, or leave behind Iraqi forces, is beginning to pay off. And what hadn't happened in the past was the capacity to fill that void with a capable force that would prevent the terrorists from coming back in.
Q Mr. President, could we talk more about --
THE PRESIDENT: Are you Bianca?
Q No, I'm not. Anita -- Fox News.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay.
Q Just a quick question --
THE PRESIDENT: Okay. I was looking for Bianca. I'm sorry.

Now I'm just guessing here, but maybe "Bianca" is the White House's new version of male escort services provider Jeff Gannon, who came under fire earlier this year for his unfettered access to the White House, and questionable press credentials. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gannon
When the going gets tough, call on Bianca!

I think "Bianca" was Bob Novak's pet name for Gannon/Gukkert.
It's shameless, ain't it? It's like they want us to know that they don't give a damn what anyone thinks... First they plant "journalists" with invisible creditentials, now they're planting invisible reporters.
