i want my cnn!

since apparently plug etiquette appeared too lame a complaint, white house pool reporter jim vandehei bitches about the remote. the exchange is quite funny, including vandehei seemingly referring to his own request in the plural third person. outgoing WH press spokesman expresses incredulity, and (unfortunately) vandehei didn't get the name of the rude 'magic people' who denied his request. shortly thereafter, mclellan resolved the situation with the remark

"We just called up. They're going to be changing it, at your all's request, to the channel that you requested, which is CNN -- from the press corps."

the national review's media blog notes vandehei requested cnn despite being an msnbc contributor
